Cute, cheap and Christmassy! TK Maxx stocks Ciate ðŸ’…

This year I have been super organised with my Christmas shopping and I’m almost done! I think it’s because I’m so excited to be back in the UK this year for the festive period. I’d like to think I’m on Santa’s good list this year but I have been a little naughty recently treating myself to some goodies.
I’m a huge nail polish fan so imagine my delight when present hunting in TK Maxx to stumble upon a shelf full of Ciate goodies.

I’m not sure about other stores but my local one has all sorts of Ciate goodies in stock right now. These range from single paint pots to duo sets to larger collections.

Like a child in a sweet shop I literally found it hard to know where to look but here are a few stand out items I spotted: chalkboard nails set, dolls house collection, caviar nails duos and the Nail Lab kit. I actually bought a caviar set and the dolls house collection as gifts for friends.

Festive Fancies
I spotted two types of the mini mani advent calendars and I bought myself one of them-hurry up December! I also spotted some cute Ciate Christmas Trinkets which I was very tempted by- these would make fab stocking fillers.

Gold coins-not the chocolate variety
So let’s talk prices, massive bargains to be had here. All of the products were hugely discounted. I paid £20 for my mini mani calendar which retails at £50, that works out at less than £1 per polish! I paid £5.99 for the caviar duo set which retails at around £15.00 and £6.99 for the dolls house collection which retails around £20.00. My friend purchased the Nail lab kit for a mere £20, I was very tempted by this one too. This one retails at £65.00.
So what’s the catch? Well basically these are not this seasons products, I think the mini manis are the 2013 editions. So as long as you don’t already own these products you won’t be disappointed.

Happy shopping!

Christmas is coming!

I am so excited about Christmas this year! Last year I was in Australia for Christmas and it just did not feel like Christmas. Growing up my Mum made a huge deal about Christmas and this was the first one I hadn’t spent at home surrounded by my family.
So I’ve already started buying some little Christmassy bits for our home.
I love a real tree at Christmas and I like to decorate it with a colour theme normally red and gold or a silver and Ivey blue. Recently on Facebook on my local sell and seek page I found some beautiful vintage decorations and a little vintage tree so this year we’ll be having 2 trees. I love vintage things so adding a vintage tree and decorations to my Christmas this year has made me want to put up my decs super early!
I discovered these 3 beauties at a recent Christmas fair and trip to Primarni.

I also did a bit of Christmas gift shopping, I like to buy unusual and personal gifts for my friends and family.
