MELLIES CORNER

Showing posts with label Christmas. Show all posts

The kids are off from school which only means one thing at this time of year. 'Tis the season to be jolly....the Christmas holidays are here.
When I was a littlun I used to be so excited to watch all the films and the Gladiator, Blind Date and Surprise Surprise specials, that the Christmas holidays bring.

Mal is currently off so we will have many a opportunity to watch some of our favourite festive season films, with each other, alone, with Cairo, or my mum.
Although I will watch the Home Alone's, Elf's and Bad Santa's, the only chrismassy film I like is the Grinch. Below are some of the films that we enjoy at this time of year.
We won't get through all of them, but it is always nice to dream isn't it?
My son is the epitome of the energiser bunny, so currently we don't really watch much films with him, as he is only really interested in the songs. (Well songs and action scenes, he is such a boy).
Cai is far too busy to sit still for a whole film lengths time, unless it has Sofia the First, Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, Sheriff Callie and chums in it.

For this post I am showing you what Alternative Christmas Films we plan on watching this year.

Christmas Gift Ideas Under £25 Round Up

Stuck for great Christmas gift ideas for the loved ones in your life?

Is budget a little tight this year, but you don't want to compromise on good quality products for your loved ones?

You have left your Christmas shopping a little late this year (as usual), forgetting the month of December is not 50 days long?

Well look no further, as I have found wonderful gifts for :

Christmas Gifts £25 & Under : For The Little Ones

This is my last 2014 Christmas Gift Idea list, and what better way to end things than with gift ideas, for the little ones in our lives.

I am a mummy to a nearly two year old little boy and I wanted to do gift ideas for babies and toddlers, hence why I have called them the little ones :).

As my son's birthday is on Christmas Day, I have tried to find smaller presents, (as his main presents will be for his birthday) that can also work as stocking fillers all under £25. There are some great finds here, many favourites that we still have till this day, that I feel, make the perfect gift for the little ones this Christmas.

Christmas Gifts £25 & Under : For Him

Hello lovelies.

I am back with another, smaller set of great presents, all for the lucky men in our lives. I find it so difficult to shop for men sometimes. Women are much more simple I find and there is so much out there catered to the ladies that won't break the bank.

Nevertheless, I have found some wonders that come under £25, as ideas on what to get the lovely men in our lives this Christmas.

Christmas Gifts £20 & Under : For Her

Hey hey hey.

Today I will be doing a small post on Christmas Gift Ideas for the special ladies in your life.

It seems the older and busier we get the later we put off buying our loved ones gifts. I used to have all my Christmas shopping bought and wrapped by November. Alas the days before motherhood lol.

Christmas for us tends to be about spending quality time together with family and loved ones. We don't tend to do large gifts at Christmas time; so all my below gift ideas are purse/wallet friendly coming under £20 woop woop.

I have also tried to find gifts that may be suitable for a secret santa present and stocking fillers, as they can sometimes be one of the hardest to buy. There are some real beauties here too and I have cut no corners style :).
