Anywhoo, onto the gift guide....

Ted Baker Shadow Flora Manicure Set* £34.99

Firstly I just have to start with this gorgeous Ted Baker Manicure Set. This pretty set is sure to be a winner for any girlie that loves their nails looking fabulous, and contains everything you need in one fold up pouch. Inside the pouch their are wide range of tools all in stunning rose gold which just look beautiful, theres clippers, scissors, tweezers, two nail files and a cuticle tool meaning you can look after your nails in style. The set also comes complete in a lovely presentation gift box, making it a fabulous gift for any women in your life whether it be friends or family.

Retro Kellogg's Rice Krispies Lip Balm* £2.99

How amazing is this lip balm, it would make such an amazing Stocking Filler present... The lip balm itself  looks amazing and sports that vintage 70's look and features the legends which are snap, crackle and pop. The scent and taste of the Rice Krispies balm itself is so yummy and sure to be a winner for anyone who likes something sweet and sugary and it also has a kick of banana in their too which I love. The quality of the lip balm is really very good, sometimes you can find that the idea of a product that looks amazing in the packaging can out way the actual quality of the product itself but this lip balm certainly works well. It moisturises and nourishes my lips leaving them silky smooth and it makes a lovely base for lipsticks to go over too.

Sass and Belle Small Bird Trinket Box* £3.99

How adorable is this little love heart shaped trinket box by Sass and Belle. I think this would make a lovely little gift for anyone who's really into their jewellery, it can be used to store loose rings or earrings or it can even keep your favourite necklace safe and would look beautiful on any dressing table.

Little Miss Sunshine Mug* £7.95

Flamingo Gifts have quite a wide range of Mr Men and Little Miss items and out of all of them I think the mugs are the most cute and quirky. Theres lots of different phrases to choose from that come printed on the mugs, and I think they can be quite sentimental if your friend or loved one is for instance your 'Little Miss Sunshine' or she could be the 'Little Miss Giggles' of your friend group and so on. You could even do a little DIY gift with these mugs and pop in a few sachets of hot chocolate and marshmallows, it's such a nice gift idea.

Flamingo Gifts have kindly given me a discount code for all of my beautiful readers to enjoy, all you have to do is pop haysparkle15 into the promotional code box and you'll receive a 15%  discount off your order, happy Christmas shopping beauts hehe.

Moomin Compact Mirror* £6.99

The first thing that caught my eye on the Flamingo Gifts website was their selection of Moomin goodies, as well as the compact mirror they have purses, shopper bags and even birthday cards to choose from and they are all so cute! I remember when I was little I would wake up early on the weekends and watch all the children's TV shows on my little TV in my bedroom and Moomins was one of the programmes I loved, so every time is use this now it really has a nostalgic effect on me and reminds me of when I was little he he.

Being a blogger I go through note books like nobody's business, I'm always writing down blog post ideas and making rough notes about products I'm reviewing so when I saw that Flamingo Gifts had a range of Ted Baker stationary I just knew I had to get in on the action he he. This 'Opulent Bloom' notebook is just so pretty, I love how the flowers against the black backdrop really pop out and the quirky sayings throughout the notebook are so cute, on the first page your met with 'Once Upon A Time' and on the last page it's says 'Happily Ever After' it's just so lovely! The A5 size is a really good size, it's not too big nore too small and fit's perfectly in my handbag for any on the go jotting, arrhhh I love this notebook so much and now I'm lusting after more Ted Baker stationary.

Flamingo Candle in 'Oriental Lotus & Rose Otto'* £11.00

Candles are an absolute winner for the ladies at Christmas and this 'Oriental Lotus & Rose Otto' scent by Flamingo Candle I really do rate. The Oriental Lotus & Rose Otto candle has a floral fragrance with powdery soft top notes of rose otto and warming nuances of sweet magnolia with elements of soft lily and carnation are also present, all in all it smells incredible he he. The quality of the Flamingo Candles is just amazing, they are all handmade & poured in the UK, Eco-friendly and totally organic. They are made using soybean oil which also makes them fair trade and pesticide free. They contain natural cotton wicks which makes for cleaner, longer burning are non toxic and will burn for up to 50 hours which is just incredible. I also really favour the cute, glass flamingo jars that Flamingo Candles use for their candles as they can be cleaned and reused for storing cotton pads, cotton buds or makeup brushes.

    Kellogg's 50's Pink Vintage Makeup Bag* £8.99

A makeup bag is a lovely gift maybe for the younger girls getting into makeup or for any beauty lover in general, and personally I think this 50's Vintage Kellogg's makeup bag is super nice. The style, colour and size of the makeup bag itself is great, it features a retro style woman carrying her trusted variety pack of Kellogg's cereals all in the 50’s packaging, it's a baby pink shade with a nice blue trim which I think finishes off this vintage make up bag perfectly. It's very simple inside and is very easy to wipe clean if you have any makeup marks or spillages.

Retro Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Lip Balm* £2.99

How amazing is this lip balm, it would make such an amazing Stocking Filler present... The lip balm itself  looks amazing and sports that vintage 70's look complete with Tony the tiger himself on the front he he. The scent and taste of the Frosted Flakes lip balm is incredible, it does indeed smell just like the cereal, sugary, sweet with a hint of vanilla in there too. It's certainly a joy to pop on yours lips throughout the day and you can even smell it after you've applied it, it's greeaaatttt! (Sorry I just couldn't resist that he he). The quality of the lip balm is really very good, sometimes you can find that the idea of a product that looks amazing in the packaging can out way the actual quality of the product itself but this lip balm certainly works well. It moisturises and nourishes my lips leaving them silky smooth and it makes a lovely base for lipsticks to go over too.

Ted Baker Tweed Pen* £18.99

I find Men are always quite difficult to buy for at Christmas however I think a nice, good quality, boxed pen is a great gift for someone who maybe works in an office, is into writing or even for Grandads that like the odd cross sword or word search ha ha, and this Ted Baker offering is lovely. The ball point  pen itself is very masculine, it's made up of green faux leather, displays the Ted Baker logo around the middle of the pen, has an easy to use twist up function at the bottom and writes in black ink, it's also very well made and very expensive feeling as its rather weighty and feels great in quality.  The pen is then housed in a lovely tweed effect gift box which add's a nice touch and keeps the pen safe if he wants to keep the pen for special occasions.

Cream Microwavable Hooty Owl* £9.99

For children or adults is this adorable microwavable hooty owl, I think the cute little owl is nice to give to someone who really loves their snugly duvet days or if your anything like me, I like to pop him in the bed to make the inside of my bed nice and warm before I get in it ha ha. All you have to do to make him nice and toastie is simply pop him in the microwave for two minutes, its that easy, afterwards he'll be nice and warm and smelling of delicious French Lavender. The Hooty Owl's are actually available in a variety of different colours so whether your buying for a boy or a girl every ones a winner.

Retro Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Lip Balm | Review

Hey beaut's!

Today I have a very exciting review/potential stocking filler idea for you all in the shape of a Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Lip Balm*... Now breakfast and beauty don't usually collide but they have now and I'm drooling over it, I mean this kitch collaboration between Kellogg's and MAD Beauty is just genius isn't it.

The lip balm itself  looks amazing and sports that vintage 70's look complete with Tony the tiger himself on the front he he. The scent and taste of the Frosted Flakes lip balm is incredible, it does indeed smell just like the cereal, sugary, sweet with a hint of vanilla in there too. It's certainly a joy to pop on yours lips throughout the day and you can even smell it after you've applied it, it's greeaaatttt! (Sorry I just couldn't resist that)  

The quality of the lip balm is really very good, sometimes you can find that the idea of a product that looks amazing in the packaging can out way the actual quality of the product itself but this lip balm certainly works well. It moisturises and nourishes my lips leaving them silky smooth and it makes a lovely base for lipsticks to go over too.

Overall I absolutely love this little beauty and not only does it look incredible it works well too and has become a handbag essential for me. The Kellogg's lips balms also come in the Coco Pops edition and Rice Krispies edition too, I mean just how amazing would these be as little stocking fillers, and they are so affordable too at just £2.99 a pop.

You can find the Frosted Flakes Lip Balm on the Flamingo Gifts website along with the rest of the Kellogg's retro range, there's even makeup bags and compact mirrors to match which would make cool Christmas gift sets.

What do you think of the Kellogg's Retro range beaut's?? I'd love to know!!
