I'll admit that Christmas shopping is just never on my radar until December! So I thought now was the perfect time to share with you my beauty, fashion and home gift guide. I have stocking fillers under £15, more mid-priced gifts under £50 and a couple of spendy gifts under £100. So whether you're shopping for loved ones, looking to get ideas for your own Christmas list or a very confused boyfriend; I hope you enjoy this!
Pretty, affordable jewellery is always lovely to find in your stocking and I love Moon Tide Jewellery. They have so many designs and as everything is handmade, you can customise each piece to your preferences (whether you want your chain gold or silver, the pattern and length). I have this stunning iridescent peach stone and chose a gold cable chain design and a 32" length. Enter JASMINETALKSBEAUTY at the checkout for another 10% off!
Rifle Paper Co Desktop To Do Pad | £7.50
If you know someone who loves pretty stationery and likes to stay organised (or needs to get organised!) this is the perfect little gift. Inexpensive but pretty and useful!
Chelsea Earl Grey Tea and Cucumber Candle* | £5
Chelsea Earl Grey Tea and Cucumber Candle* | £5
Candles are one of those gifts you can go all out with and spend £40+, however they also make lovely stocking fillers. Particularly these cute mini Chelsea Candles! They look really stylish and I love the Earl Grey and Cucumber scent. It's not my usual but that's what attracted me to it as it's both fresh and musky at the same time. At £5 per candle you could put a little selection in someone's stocking for them to try out several scents.
H&M Bronze Glass Box | £12.99
For the blogger girl who loves copper and rose gold, you really can't go wrong with this glass box that's perfect for storing jewellery.
Leighton Denny Nail Polishes* | £11 each
Nail polishes are probably the best affordable beauty gift to pop into someone's stocking as it's a lot easier to work out the sort of shade's someone would actually wear (far less risky than lipstick, for example). I have two iridescent shades here that are gorgeous for the festive season; Calypso Kiss, a fuchsia and Queen Hera, an olive/emerald.
Pretty Honest by Sali Hughes | £14.96
I have a full review on this book here, but in short it's a must-read for any beauty fan out there. I love Sali's straight-talking, humorous style of writing and she covers a range of beauty topics offering genuinely helpful advice and guidance for even diehard beauty fans.
If you have a Soap & Glory fan in the family, this is a bit of a must-have. Soap & Glory have a ton of amazing gifts this year but the Rodnik Band collaboration includes amazing wash bags in three different styles. I love my little popcorn set crammed with some of Soap & Glory's bestsellers, allowing me to have minis of products I already love and test out some new bits.
Sass & Belle Life's a Journey Enjoy the Ride Enamel Mug | £6
This is lovely as an actual mug or as a home piece; either decorative or as storage (say for pens and pencils). Sass and Belle do lots of lovely affordable bits like this that are perfect for stockings.
Alphabet Bags 'You Look Lovely Today' Canvas Pouch | £18
This cute, durable canvas pouch is perfect for any beauty lover (you could even cram it with little minis like the ones Benefit currently have on 4 for £15 at Boots!) It's the perfect size for anything from a weekend to a week away.

This is the ultimate high-end indulgent beauty product. No one needs it but everyone probably wants it! I have the Medium-Dark edition here but obviously there's also the original lighter version. This highlight and bronzer duo gives the most gorgeous, dewy glow and definition and the packaging makes this feel like such a glamour product.
Odds are if you're buying for a beauty addict, they probably own all the Urban Decay palettes already, however this less well-known palette from Stila is probably something they haven't got and would definitely love. The quality of the eyeshadows really is fantastic and I love the everyday shades in the Soul version. It has a perfect balance of warm and cool shades as well as mattes and shimmers.
Laura Mercier Fragrance & Body Sets | from £25
Every year Laura Mercier brings out a whole host of indulgent bath, body and fragrance sets. These vary in price between £25 and closer to £80. The products are always beautiful and they're not the sort of thing most people would buy for themselves so they make a perfect gift. My favourite scent from the bunch is Creme de Pistache; a sweet but nutty fragrance. I have the Creme de Pistache Eau Gourmande Fragrance and Body Souffle. The fragrance is so long-lasting and full-bodied and the body cream is intensely nourishing. I also nabbed the Ambre Vanille Body Scrub and Bath Honey from my mum and they're definitely on my wish list for this year as the scent is so rich and deep; not your usual overly sweet, artificial vanilla at all.
Another thing someone like your mum wouldn't treat themselves to usually is a Jo Malone candle. They really are a luxury product so again I think they make great gifts. Here I have the Sweet Almond and Macaroon scent, which is perfect for this time of year. It fills the room with a gorgeous sweet Cherry Bakewell kind of fragrance.
Under £100
Zoeva Rose Golden Brush Set | £56.95 | post
This is pretty much the ultimate beauty gift! The brushes in it are incredible quality and it has pretty mud everything you'd need to do your makeup day-to-day. Not to mention the rose gold detail makes these absolutely stunning. Considering the quality and look of the brushes, this set isn't bad value at all. It would make a great gift for someone fairly new to makeup who is looking to get their first proper brush set or for someone who's just mad about copper!

Toni & Guy Fluid Metal Styler* | £90 (Currently £44.99) | post
For a hair styler, this is an amazing budget option. If you don't want a styler to be someone's only gift, it's a good idea to get a more expensive styler like this whilst it's on offer. I love the iridescent look of the plates and it really does do the job. Whether it's straightening, adding in loose waves or doing tight curls, this does it all whilst gliding over your hair.

These are such great gift picks! I am so obsessed with Laura Merciers' Christmas gift sets this year. I have already bought 2 of them to give away as presents haha. But as well I think palettes like the Stila one is perfect as a gift. It's beautiful and not necessarily something that someone would buy for themselves. Also like you said it isn't as popular as the urban Decay ones, so it's nice to get someone something new.
