Christmas Gift Guide 2016 | Shann0n Renae



Hello everyone, 

It's that time of year again... Christmas!! Christmas is my favourite time of the year, but it can get really confusing with what to gift everyone!!

So, I've designed a list that may and hopefully inspire and help you with what to buy your loved ones this year!


Her:
1. Gift sets: Gift sets from places like Mecca and Sephora will really satisfy the makeup lovers. There are so many from brands like Too Faced, Benefit and Tarte for example. You can even find some mini gift sets if you don't want to splurge too much money.
2. Organiser: An organiser or diary for 2017 is the perfect gift as the year winds up and we begin another one! There are so many diaries to choose from. I know Kmart have some luxury looking ones for really cheap or you can get a more expensive and nicer one, the choice is really yours! Another idea is a fitness organizer or weekly planner, I really like these because it can help people be organised and motivated.
3. Polaroid Camera: Polaroid cameras are great, I've wanted to get my hands on one for a really long time. I also love how they come is so many colours, so that you can personally choose a colour specifically for that special someone. Another great thing about Polaroids is that they can capture memories to keep.
4. Fluffy Slides: These damn fluffy slides. These slides are everywhere and are such a trend at the moment. I LOVE AND NEED. 
5. Calvin Klein Set: Something that I am obssessed with is my Calvin Klein set. They literally have the most comfortable underwear I have ever worn ever. If you're stuck with ideas, a set from CK would be the way to go. 


Him:
1. Go Pro: If you have a bit more money to spend on him this Christmas get him a GoPro. GoPro's are seriously so great for anyone and can be used for anything. It's definitely on my list.
2. Watch: A special watch for someone is always a great idea. And, they also price differently, depending on what brand or style you want to get. They are also such a practical gift and, of course your boy will love it.
3. Branded Underwear sets/socks: Boys love this stuff! A really nice set or underwear or socks like Tommy Hilfiger or Calvin Klein, can make him feel super special. Boys don't really splurge on big brands for underwear or socks, so this would be a great present idea.
4. UE boom: Portable Speakers are also really handy to have. UE Boom is the brand I recommend to everyone. They are so easy to transport and have great sound quality and battery power. UE Boom also have 2 different styles that you can look into depending on your price range.
5. Pen: If you want to get your loved one something a bit more special, a really nice pen is the way to go. Hugo Boss have some really nice ones, and I'm sure there are many more brands that can fit into your price range. Pens are always handy and can be a bit more special to use one that has been gifted.


Unisex:
1. Fitbit: Fitbits are great for everyone. Especially if they are interested with becoming fit for the new year. There are also so many styles and colours for everyone and one that could possibly fit the budget. I got my mum one last year and she loved it.
2. Suitcase: Suitcases are great if you are heading off on holidays soon. Such a great idea to buy your loved one a new suitcase and maybe even fill it with a few travel essentials!!
3. Headphones: Headphones are always a great idea... Enough said.
4. Fragrances: There are some great fragrances out there, even some unisex ones like Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 or CK2.
5. Portable Charger: Super great for those people who are always on the go. Portable chargers are always good for those tech geeks or busy workers. 


Handmade:
1. Coupon book: Always super cute if you are on a budget. This is also great if you often get bored with your partner, just pull out the book and use a coupon!! 
2. DIY Photo Calender - I think this is such a cute idea to give someone special in your life. You could even do this with all your gifts! It's also a great idea for a last minute gift!! Here's one that I absolutely adored -  http://indiecrafts.craftgossip.com/2016/01/04/diy-instax-photo-calendar/
3. Bath Bombs: Believe it or not, bath bombs are actually super easy to make. There are so many recipes on Pinterest which will help you out with creating your own!!
4. Dream Catchers: Such a gorgeous and personal gift for your friends. You can also make it really personal and special for them. It is also a really great gift idea if you have forgotten a present and need to get one ASAP, without it costing too much.
5. Coffee Scrubs: AMAZING GIFT IDEA. It can also be used for anyone. Again there are so many recipes for this and if you make a big batch and just package them beautifully, it can look like you spent loads of money and time for those special people. Also really great as a last-minute gift which isn't too expensive.


So, there is a few ideas for gifts that you can get for your loved ones. 

Hope this helped! And Merry Christmas!!

Much Love,

4 Valentine's Day Outfits ♥︎ | Shann0nRenae

Hello beauties,

I thought I'd do another Valentine's post as I had such an amazing response on the last post I did! This time though, focusing on outfit ideas. I know how hard it can be to try and work an outfit together , so I decided to use basic clothes or similar that many of you may have in your closet.

I've included 4 different possible outfit ideas, depending on what you're doing that day and how dressy you'd like to be!

I hope you enjoy this post!

1 ♥︎ This outfit is a great one for all you teens out there! If you've got a little day date with a beautiful boy this would be perfect!

The pink crop sweater is so cute and as Valentine's is always about the pinks and reds I decided to coordinate this in! The pink also makes it feel a bit more flirty.

I love the white high waisted shorts. I need to go and buy some myself! I love how the white just makes it look a bit more softer than adding a dark harsh colour!

Then I just added a few little things that could be added to this date and what types of shades you could do with your makeup.

2 ♥︎ This one is made for my girls on the go! If your Valentine's is going to be hectic, this is the perfect outfit to go to meetings, social events and dates in.

I added the coat just for the cooler countries but you could work this without the coat too. This outfit is so cool and casual but also looks put together.

I love the black, white and pink - which just makes the look a bit more Valentinesy (not a word).

It's definitely an easy outfit to put together and the pieces can be worn again in a total other outfit.


3 ♥︎ This is obviously the most dressy outfit of the lot! This is a beautiful option for a fancy dinner or something a bit more special! I love this because of how classy it is and it just would look amazing on anyone!

If you wanted to opt for a brighter look than you could easily change the colours on the clothing. The shoes of course, don't have to be heels, but I think it just looks a bit more feminine and pretty.

And if you live in a cooler climate it would be so easy just to add a jacket or coat over! and voilà!

This is just such a classic look. I LOVEEEEE ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎




4 ♥︎ This is a perfect outfit for lazing at home! I'm quite aware that not all of you are going to be hanging with a loved one on a date. And you should embrace giving yourself a lil love too!

This outfit is perfect for chucking on a face mask after a bath, watching movies on Netflix, checking social medias and just relaxing and cuddling up. (I know a few of you are from cooler places in the world , Australia girls opt for something a bit lighter because of the 40 degree weather lately!!)

You can use this outfit alone or with your girlfriends! (even with your boyfriend if you guys aren't bothered with the whole v day thing).


Much love to you all,

10 V- Day Gifts For Him ♥︎ | Shann0nrenae

Hello all!

 I know some of you won't celebrate Valentine's day (or in other words Singles Awareness Day) ! But some of you may be looking for some inspiration of what to buy for your man, some of these can also be used for girls too!!

As some of you may be on a budget, I decided to include 5 that were a reasonable price range and 5 that are more higher priced if you really want to spoil that special man/ woman in your life. If you also wanted too you could also mix a few of these to make a little gift basket for them

♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎

1. Chocolates ♥︎ Of course this is one of the most basic gifts for Valentine's Day, you can never go wrong with a bit of choccy! You can even look at places to get it personalised if you want!! If you're on a health kick or just don't want to buy chocolate go for a favourite food of your lover's. I think this is so good to add to any present just for a little extra.

2. DVD's ♥︎ Buy a few DVD's that your partner and you have been dying to see and that aren't available on good ole' Netflix. Make a night out of it and add a few sweets in the gift too for a movie night with him or her!

3. 6 pack of favourite beer ♥︎ I saw this idea on Pinterest and I thought it was so cute!!! What you do is, buy a pack of their favourite alcohol or drinks and on each bottle write a reason you love this person! This makes the gift seem a little more personalised and anyone would love the thoughts on each bottle. (Also, a good gift so that the person doesn't have to buy drinks next time they are going out ahaha)


4. Lush Products ♥︎ Lush is a winner with almost everyone. I know my boyfriend loves showers and keeping himself clean so why not spoil him with something he wouldn't usually buy for himself. I know especially for Valentine's day Lush make scents such as "Prince Charming" which I think is just too sweet.

5. Perfume ♥︎ Perfume scents are great for either guys or girls! And there are so many scents in varying price ranges which makes it a cute little gift to add or to make it the main present! I loovee getting perfumes it's the best!

6. Peter Alexander PJ's ♥︎ Again, another gift for girls or guys! Get them something comfy for bed , I love Peter Alexander , seriously the best brand and comfiest PJ's. If you don't want to spend so much just get any cute PJ's for them. (You could even get matching sets!)



7. Charging Case ♥︎ How many times has your phone died when you needed it the most. This is a great gift for anyone on any occasion! I'm always at festivals with my boyfriend and he's always struggling keeping his phone alive, so I think it's perfect!


8. Experience ♥︎ If you literally have no clue what to get your partner this Valentine's Day get them something to do! Like the outdoor movies, the zoo, skydiving as well, or just a dinner! You could even make it cuter instead of paying double the price on Valentine's Day make a little coupon for them to use whenever they like.

9. Underwear ♥︎ Get them some expensive underwear! Something again most people wouldn't buy themselves. I think this is perfect because you can spend a bit of cash on something with a brand , and that they would really appreciate.



10. Watch ♥︎ A watch is perfect if you really want to spoil that loved one in your life. Good brands for girls could be Guess,  Mimco or even Michael Kors. For men brands such as Daniel Wellington, Tommy Hilfiger or Emporio Armani.

♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎

I hope this helped a little bit! Even if you got some inspiration for a different idea you could do yourself!








I hope you have a

lovely Valentine's Day!!
♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎

Much love,
