Pretty Festive Purchases



It probably won’t come as much of a surprise to anyone that I love all things pink and glittery, so when Christmas comes around, it’s the perfect time to treat yourself to some new girly pieces for your home. Seeing as I’ve collected a few lovely new things recently, I thought I’d pop them all together into a little Christmassy blog post! 

Yankee Candle Sugar Frost Christmas Candle 
I was having a little browse on the Yankee Candle website as they always have some lovely limited edition candles available for the different seasons and I immediately added this one to my basket as soon as I spotted it. It’s called Sugar Frost Christmas and is a lovely pale creamy white chocolate shade. It’s my perfect scent as it smells like a mixture of creamy vanilla, praline and sugar so it’s a yummy sweet one that reminds me of sugar cookies! 

Minkleberry Kiss Pink Unicorn Bauble 
I’d seen a lot of unicorn baubles on Instagram and whilst I thought most of them were cute, I kept my eye out for something a little more unusual and special. I found this lovely brand called Minkleberry Kiss who sell lots of beautiful handmade goodies and I bought this gorgeous little sparkly pink unicorn Christmas tree bauble. It’s got little eyelashes and a lovely glittery silver horn and it’s adorned with pink and white roses and a little bit of pale pink fluff which just adds the perfect girly finishing touch! 

Girly Swan Decoration 
I’ve actually been on the lookout for a little swan decoration for a long time and when I spotted this lovely one from a handmade brand called Tilda Loves Teddy on Etsy, it was exactly what I was looking for. Although swans aren’t the most traditional Christmas decoration, I think they’re so lovely for this time of the year as they look wintery with their white fluffy wings and are so elegant and fairytale-esque. This one is complete with dainty pink sequin flower decorations and little black eyelashes and I’ve popped her on my bedside table where she just looks dreamy! 



Prosecco Christmas Print 
I came up with the idea to pop a cute little Christmassy quote into a frame for one of our living room walls and when I came across Pretty Photo Prints on Instagram, I thought they were perfect! They have a lovely range of cute quotes available in lots of different calligraphy fonts and I ordered this beautiful silver one complete with wintery stars that says ‘prosecco is for life, not just for Christmas’. I bought a plain white frame from The Range to pop it into and I think I’ll change the little quote for each new season! 



Pink Rose Christmas Bauble 
I always love to add a couple of new baubles to my Christmas tree each year and when Freya over at Freya’s Fairytale shared this beautiful rose bauble on her Instagram stories, I splurged straightaway. This one is from a brand called Grandeur Roses who sell gorgeous everlasting roses and this bauble comes complete with a dainty little rose in it. I obviously chose the pale pink colour but it does come in a wide range of other shades too. It also came all tied up with a black ribbon bow which I have since changed to a pink satin one and even came complete with some mini chocolates too! 



Katie Loxton Winter Wonderland Tealight Cracker 
Katie Loxton is one of my favourite brands for cute little gift suggestions and I came across these beautiful little white and silver crackers in a gift shop near to me. I actually bought it with the intention of adding it in as another little Christmas gift but it’s so pretty that I’ve decided to keep it for myself and I’m actually using the pretty cracker packaging for decor under my Christmas tree. The Winter Wonderland scent has notes of snowberry and soft cotton which is so snuggly and cosy! 

Diamanté Swan Decoration 
This was a little bit of an impulse purchase but when I spotted this lovely little embellished swan in the Matalan sale, I had to buy it! It’s a beautiful plush white swan Christmas tree decoration with the loveliest fluffy sparkly wings and is adorned with pale pink and soft champagne beads. It’s quite a large decoration and is definitely one of my favourites on my tree! 

What do you think of my festive purchases?
