Christmas gift guide, Mariebelle pin-up chocolate bars
“I’ve decided to celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus (not Madonna’s boy toy, the other one), by visiting various friends and family members around the country. Once I’ve packed my thermals, new NYE party frock and my own body weight in Terry’s Chocolate Oranges there’s not going to be much space for gifts, so I’ve been on the hunt for pint-sized gift ideas.
\r\n\r\n
“First up on my list are these pin-up chocolates, which literally look too good to eat. They also make a fantastic stocking filler (much less boring than Brazil nuts and oranges). My best friend will be finding these in her Santa sack.”

Christmas Gift Guide Lulu Guinness coin purse
“How cute is this coin purse by Lulu Guinness? If I can resist the temptation to nab this one for myself it will be winging its way to my little sister. I love the patent bow and ‘rosy cheek’ felt panels.”

Christmas gift guide, The White Company Thank You cards
“I should probably keep these for myself, seeing that I’m going to be relying on so many different people’s hospitality this Christmas. However, I’m more of an email sort of a girl, so I’ll be giving these White Company Thank You cards to my Grandmother, who’s a much better correspondent than I am.”

Christmas gift guide, Paul Smith flannel set
“I’ve earmarked these little beauties for my soap-shy brother. Never has a flannel looked so slick, but then that’s the beauty of Paul Smith. He’d probably make toenail clippers look stylish just by sticking stripes on them.”

“If, like me, you’ve got one friend with very expensive taste who’s impossible to buy for (you know who you are), then here’s your answer.
