Spring Homeware Wish List

Sunday, May 04, 2014
I have already posted a spring beauty wish list, which you can see, here and a spring fashion wish list, here. It is such a nice time of year although right now it is still a bit cold (welcome to England) but  we can dream of brighter, sunny days! I am drooling over a lot of homeware recently as my bedroom is going to be redecorated soon and I am getting a new wardrobe (too many clothes not enough space....there is no such thing as too many clothes) which is why a lot of the items are bedroom decor related. Here are my current spring homeware picks!

1. Yankee Candle Bunny Cake Large Jar Candle (£19.99): Oh my, oh my, how cute is this candle! I think it is a limited edition scent for easter. As you can see from the items I am a bit obsessed with cream, grey, aqua and baby pink....I love candles and Yankee Candle is one of my favourite brands. This candle is supposed to smell like sugary coconut, creamy vanilla and bright citrus - so delicious!

2. Debenhams Ben De Lisi Grey Signs Felt Cushion (£35): As soon as I saw this I fell in love not only does it incorporate all of my current favourite colours but the design is just amazing, I love it! I think it would look great in my new bedroom design I have planned. 

3. Asda George Home Mint Wall Clock (£10): This makes me think of american diners in the 50's for some reason, I love it and it is mint green/aqua! I think it would look great as a pop of colour (I hate that expression) on a creamy coloured wall. 

4. Asda Pink Glass Soda Jug (£5): I can imagine a hot summer day (unlikely in England but work with me), the birds are singing, children are having water fights and there is an abundance of fresh watermelon and strawberries - that is the scene I imagine using this soda jug in - a bit far fetched I know but it just screams spring/summer.

5. Monsoon Home Slate Heart Coasters (£9): How adorable are these slate coasters . They look great and they would make a fantastic gift, in my opinion. I have never had slate coasters but I imagine they are really durable and they look quite expensive. 

6. Zara Home Coloured Handle Fork/Spoon (£3.99 each): I am really quite picky about cutlery (strange I know) but these look right up my alley. I love the shape of them both and the coloured handle. They come in different colours too. I don't visit Zara Home as often as I should, they have amazing and very unique homeware!

7. Zara Home Bubble Vase (£19.99): I am going to have to make an order on Zara Home soon, so many beautiful things, I cannot possess them all (points to you if you know who said that). I have recently started to buy flowers - I guess it is the typical blogger thing to have in the background of photos so I thought I would try it and this vase looks perfect. 

8. Asda Eiffel Tower Lamp (£20): How unique is this lamp, I have never seen any lamp like this - it is part lamp, part mini eiffel tower... So cute, I think it is a nice statement lamp that isn't too crazy, I think it would look great in my bedroom or study/office.

There is my rather massive homeware wish list, I could go on but it is quite long already! What is on your spring homeware wish list?

Easter Gift Guide

Friday, April 11, 2014
Myself and my family are not very religious but we do get together and exchange small gifts during Easter - Easter Sunday in the UK is mainly a day of chocolate eating! As I will be getting a few small gifts from my family (I am getting theatre tickets for Easter this year) I thought I would share an Easter gift guide of gifts that I would be so happy to receive.

1. Lush Bunny Bubble Bar (£3.25): Lush make the most gorgeous and cute seasonal collections and this little guy is adorable! It is supposed to smell like vanilla and it contains blue cornflowers that float in the water. I may have to treat myself...

2. Hotel Chocolat A Donzen Quail Egglets (£11): Every Easter gift looks so cute and this is no exception. I have always drooled over the displays and products at Hotel Chocolat but I have never tried anything from them. These little chocolate eggs come in a few different flavours such as caramel pecan, salted caramel, fruity mandarin and more. Great if you want to try numerous flavours and great to share as well.

3. Your Design Personalised Easter Egg Candle (£7): Now for a bit more of a personal gift, these candles can be personalised with someones name or nickname on the front which I think is so cute. It would make a nice Easter gift to keep.

4. QVC Yankee Candle Easter Jar Duo (£30): Onto a more expensive and luxe gift - this candle duo from Yankee Candle would make a gorgeous gift for Easter! I would be so happy to receive this duo. The candles are Easter exclusives and they are large jars so they will last for ages!

5. Emma Bridgewater Rose and Bee Mug (£19.95): Another more expensive but lovely gift, how cute is this mug. I love Emma Bridgewater designs from her mugs to her stationary. The mug design is perfect for this time of the year and it would be a great gift for mothers or grandmas, in my opinion, well I would love it too!

6. Your Design Easter Egg Hunt Bag (£7): This Easter egg hunt bag would be great for younger or older children to collect eater eggs in for an Easter egg hunt. The bag can be personalised with the child's name or nickname on the front which makes it an extra special gift that can be re-used. 

There is my Easter 2014 gift guide, I would personally love all of the Lush Easter collection, the YC easter collection and the Emma Bridewater mug! Do you celebrate Easter? What are you buying for Easter?
