With only three weeks until the big day (yes, really!) I am finally coming to the end of my gift-guide type posts and starting to wind things down so I don’t completely run out of enthusiasm before December 25th rolls around. It wouldn’t be Christmas on the blog without featuring one of my favourite gift shops and some of their fabulous present ideas though…

My friends at Flamingo Gifts recently sent over a parcel of brilliant gifting solutions for even the most awkward to buy for person. Nestled in among the treats was perhaps THE most perfect item for aspiring cat ladies everywhere and something I just needed to have in my life. The Crazy Cat Lady action figure (£14.99) has rapidly become one of my favourite possessions, it makes me feel like I’m looking at my future and would make a fun and novel gift for the feline fanatic in your life.

I’m always looking out for ways to show my best friends how much they mean to me and this cushion by Sass and Belle says it how it is. This actually didn’t make it in to December before being given away to my very best friend ever, hopefully it will serve as a constant reminder of how special she is.

I thought this funky squirrel planter is such a fun piece and would make the ideal present for so many of my friends as we all grow up and start buying homes and settling down. I’m not known for my talent looking after plants but with it’s self watering feature I think even I can nurture something lush and green with this…watch this space!

Last but by no means least there was a practically perfect mug which at under a tenner would make a great secret santa gift for anyone who thinks of themselves as perfection personified. This found a new home with my Grandad, who is by anyone’s standards pretty perfect but would equally be ideal for a teenager or work colleague.

As ever Flamingo Gifts have really impressed me with their great selection of gifts and regular new arrivals. It’s a one stop shop for all of your present buying needs whether you still need something quirky for your Dad or fancy a little treat for yourself.

Has anything caught your eye and how is your Christmas shopping coming along?
