This month's Share Our Lives linky prompt is: Where do you shop? I thought long and hard about this blog post and with Christmas just around the corner I thought I would share where I do my Christmas shopping!
Shein!
I love Shein, I know some people frown upon the fast fashion brand and complain that everything is rubbish quality but I have never had any issues. The girls have already made numerous lists of things that they would like. Mostly clothes and some make up and I have already ordered some new Christmas decorations.
Not on the High Street!
If you're looking for unique, personalised gifts, Not on the High Street should be at the top of your list. This site shares small UK based businesses offering one of a kind gifts you won’t find anywhere else. From custom made jewellery to quirky homeware you’ll find beautifully crafted and meaningful presents for everyone.
Forbidden Planet!
If who you are buying for is into comics, anime or geek culture like my girls Forbidden Planet is the ultimate shopping destination. It has a huge selection of comic books, graphic novels, action figures and merchandise from popular franchises like Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter. We are so lucky to have a store in town and we can easily spend an hour in there just looking at everything!
Waterstones!
Waterstones is the perfect place to find the latest bestsellers, classics and graphic novels. I am not a big reader but my girls are and we will of course be visiting in the run up to Christmas to pick a couple of books up.
Amazon!
You can't beat Amazon, I love it and always end up on there when I am stuck for a gift for someone and they always seem a lot cheaper than other places! For Ellie's birthday I saw a gorgeous Nightmare Before Christmas bracelet charm and in the shop I was looking it was £55 and on Amazon it was £14.99 for exactly the same thing!! What a bargain!
B&M!
B&M the popular discount retailer is where I go to get all the stocking fillers and random gifts. I always get the gift set of mini jars of chutney for my dad, selection boxes of chocolate, treats and for Christmas Eve they are great for novelty cups and hot chocolate sets.
Primark!
For budget friendly fashion and trendy accessories Primark is a top destination. I took Ellie a few weeks ago and she filled a basket and I am taking Becky soon for her to pick some things. They are great for hoodies, pyjamas, beauty products, slippers and I love some of their Christmas decorations.
Lush!
I always treat us to some bath bombs from Lush. Lush is known for its handmade, eco friendly, and cruelty free beauty products. Lush specializes in fresh, natural ingredients, offering a range of products including bath bombs, soaps, skincare, haircare, and body products. My girls love everything from this shop and me too!
Asda!
For the Christmas food shop I will be getting it from Asda this year, I already have my home delivery booked in. I have been using the app and each time I shop I get some money back and I have been saving it up for Christmas, as of start of November I have £45 saved to go towards Christmas!
Where will you be doing your Christmas shopping?

Joanne from Slices of Life.
Sarah from Toronto Sam.
I tend to just head to Amazon for most things!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Amazon is so easy to order certain items. I love the Primark in London and in Edinburgh. We have one in my area but it's not as nice as the one in London. Thanks Kim for the blog visit and I hope you enjoy the rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteI shopped at Waterstone's and Asda when I lived over there. And I think I used Not on the High Street a few times. Some of these I hadn't heard of!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun sounding stores-- that Forbidden Planet sounds like it would be a huge hit with my guys.
