30 CHRISTMAS GIFTS UNDER £50
December’s here and I’ve got Christmas shopping well and truly on my mind. If your family is anything like mine, some are a joy to buy for and others, well, not so much. For me, Mums, Grans and Sister-in-laws are easy to please with anything from luxe lip balms to cosy cashmere, while Mr B and my Dad definitely fall into the difficult category! The first week of the festive seasons usually signals a frantic search for what to buy, so this year I’ve decided to share some of my favourite finds under £50 with you and hope they inspire your own Christmas shopping lists!
