For some, this may be ridiculously early, but I was talking to a friend the other day and she had nearly finished ALL her Christmas shopping. It put me in a bit of a panic as I haven’t even thought about it. Christmas is months away isn’t it?… Erm no, in fact it’s only 6 weeks!

I need to learn from my past mistakes of always leaving it to the last minute and start earlier this year. So, if you have already started, then hopefully these suggestions will help and if you are not remotely ready, then file this and come back to it when you are. I reckon it’s never too early to start thinking about ideas, and with Black Friday coming up, it’s worth jotting some ideas down on paper so that when you get those all important discount codes, you can sweep in like a ninja and get that shopping done in no time.

Normally I do 10 items per week for Free Subscribers and 20 items for paid. But for my gift guides I’ll be giving you so much more. This one has a total of 80 items.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be doing a range of different guides to suit everyone. Each guide will have a range of prices to suit all budgets and I’ll be putting them into categories to help you shop for all the family.

There will be gift guides for her, him, kids, teens, stocking fillers and a special one all about advent calendars. I’ll also be doing a party wear guide to give you inspo on what to wear over the festive season.

So let’s get on with the first one. And this one is for all the women in your life. Perhaps mum, sister, daughters, friends. Or you might like something for yourself.

Happy festive shopping
