Smells Like Christmas

Oh la la, it’s December and ya know what that means… CHRISTMAS TIME is here! I love Christmas, especially the smell of Christmas…. Gingerbread cookies baking in the oven, the smell of pine trees and eggnog!

The only problem is well, we live in South Africa! So, Christmas smells for us usually lean toward braaied meat and HTH. Not very Christmassy if you ask me. HAHA!

But fear not. If you yearn for a true Christmas smell, I’ve rounded up a few goodies you can get to fake that Christmas smell and make your home smell amazing for the holidays…

Christmas Gift Guide 2018 – Gifts Under R350

Welcome to back to another instalment of my Festive Gift Guides for Christmas 2018. Today, I’ve got a couple of fab gift ideas that come in under the R350 mark. Most of them are actually under R300, but since one was just R20 over, I had to be fair with my title.

Like my Gifts Under R200 post that I shared last week, I wanted to find gift options that are useful and above all, good quality!

This list is also not exclusive to the ladies. I mean, StyleScoop is a blog for the fabulous females out there, but you might even like some of the ideas for guys too!

Are you ready?

Christmas Gift Guide 2018 – Gifts Under R200

Okay, so I know it seems like R200 doesn’t go very far these days – but if you really look around, you can still find fab gifts under R200. Gifts that aren’t going to break the bank. And gifts that your friends and family will love!

People often say I’m difficult to buy for, and that’s just because I don’t like junk. I spent my life collecting junk, getting rid of it and now I hate accumulating things I don’t need.

As cute as a glittery pencil bag is, or another makeup bag to add to my collection, to me they just = unnecessary hoarding.

So, when I’m looking at gifting for friends and family, I really try to think of the person I’m buying for so that I can get them something that fits into their lifestyle.

Paint the Town N°5 RED

Nothing says Holiday Season quite like the colour red, and nothing says luxury quite like CHANEL N°5! So what happens when you combine the two? A breathtakingly beautiful, very exclusive and very limited CHANEL N°5 RED EDITION.

For the first time in the history of the House of Chanel, the legendary CHANEL N°5 fragrance – which was designed and developed by the Mademoiselle Coco Chanel herself- is donning a fiery cloak of red.
