Amara Homeware Wish List

When it comes to homeware and gifts, you really can't go wrong with Amara! I have already talked about the shop on my blog and since then I have been obsessed. I love their selection of high end and unusual homeware as well as the range of brands. Here's my spring homeware wish list:

1. Kate Spade Pencil Cup (£21): I adore literally EVERYTHING from Kate Spade! The products are minimalist yet chic and gorgeous. I love this pencil cup, it's so cute and it would be perfect for my desk.

2. Trigg Small Copper Wall Planters (£25, set of two): I also think these would look great in my newly redecorated office or in the kitchen. I adore anything copper so this is naturally something I need in my life.

3. Kate Spade Telegram Notepad (£10): List making and taking notes is something I'm always doing to remind myself and to stay organised. I always need new memo blocks, notepads and sticky notes so why not get an adorably chic notepad!

4. The Where, The Why and The How Book (£15.99): If you've been following me on Twitter (ofbeautyand) or Instagram recently then you will know that I've become obsessed with reading books, buying books and watching booktube so obviously this caught my eye.

5. Cocolux Exotic Amber and Spice Candle (£35): As well as books, beauty products and bath bombs, I also have a problem with buying candles - I can't stop, and I won't stop. So the combination of a candle and copper packaging is a hit with me.

6. Astronaut Vase (£50): Yes, it's an astronaut vase. I need it!

Amara Living Valentines Gift Ideas

Valentines Day is almost here and to me it is a time to treat your loved ones, personalised gifts say so much and they are more special too although luxury gifts would be perfect for valentines day as well. Luxury items are usually products that people don't want to buy for themselves as they are a special treat so valentines day is the time to treat your partner, friends or family.

There are two brands that I personally have wanted to try for so long but they are also luxury brands so I'm always hesitant to spend the money on treats for myself. I was SO excited when this package arrived from the lovely people at Amara! The package from Amara came quickly, well padded and beautifully presented.

- *Neom Tranquility English Lavender, Sweet Basil & Jasmine Travel Candle (£16, 75g): Neom is an almost cult brand in the beauty and blogging world, everyone raves about their products, especially the candles. I chose this scent as I adore lavender and it doesn't disappoint - the candle smells incredible! It is floral, calming and relaxing, it would be the perfect candle to use on a pamper night. The candle feels like such a luxury item, not just because of the wonderful scent and packaging but the container is made from frosted glass. All Neom products come beautifully packaged and designed so they would make gorgeous gifts for anyone!

- Kate Spade New York Spiral Notebook - So Well Composed (£16): Kate Spade is another cult and much coveted brand in the blogging world, anything from Kate Spade is minimal, high quality and beautifully designed. I have a Kate Spade necklace and it's gorgeous! I chose this notebook as I think luxury or more high quality stationery isn't something most people would buy for themselves so it would be a lovely, luxury and practical gift.

I'm a bit of a candle and stationery addict *as most bloggers are* so both of these gifts would be absolutely perfect for me! Kate Spade and Neom are such famous and high end brands, I think they would make perfect gifts for valentines day. Here are some of my other valentines day gift picks from Amara:
