I'm so excited. of hello I have no idea hello hello hello guys this is a very festive episode today very Christmassy episode so I hope you're doing really well by the way thank you for clicking on this episode being here in my company today and having me in yours welcome welcome welcome so today's episode is gonna be a last minute Christmas gift guide for any of my last minute babes. Because obviously this is gonna be out on the 10th of December. So you still have time. You still have, um, like 14 days, 2 weeks.

Wait, is Christmas on a Tuesday? Let me see this. No, it's on a Wednesday. How am I getting this wrong? Well, you've got about two weeks. So you've got time, you know, we can do our entire Christmas shop in two weeks. I'm sure most of the men in our life haven't started yet. So this is basically just going to be a gift guide. A little bit of inspo, I've done it in categories for the girlies, the dads, the bf's, whatever.

Because I struggle. Listen, I can put together a good gift guide, right? But for some reason I feel like I'm shit at presents. And putting together this gift guide, because I've been doing it on TikTok so I've been like putting this together for a while because I knew I wanted to do an episode on it as well. Putting together this gift guide has genuinely helped me because for some reason I think about specific people and then I find that hard. When I think about a genre of people, a group of people, sisters in general, best friends in general, that's

way easier for me for some reason. This has been very helpful for me. So, I hope it's helpful for you guys. Also it would just help us get in the Christmas spirit and I am really looking forward to it. I do want to say the New Year's episode is approaching. We're only a few weeks away and it's a big one. You guys know we will never miss a New Year's Epoch. It's a big one every year. We're going to reflect, we're going to project and manifest. So I did mention before that I want some of your advice and ideas for vision boarding. So please start now. Now is the time to start sending in your emails full of... send me a list of all the things that you manifested for your year of 2024 and let me know how much of that happened, how

much of it you're glad didn't happen in the end, what your manifest and techniques were, because obviously I like to reflect on mine with you guys but I also love to hear about what worked out for you and how this year was for all of you. What we're carrying into next year, what we're leaving behind. So anything you want to say, it doesn't just have to be about manifesting, it can be about lessons you've learned, it can be about the people you've met, the people you're leaving behind, whatever it is, send me a good email, it can be long if you want. I really don't mind. It can be short and sweet. Whatever you want to say about your year that's just passed, the year ahead,

let me know in an email. Everything you've learned, whatever it is, let me know. So send them in. learontheline.gmail.com. Super easy. Super easy to remember. And yeah, anything you want to include in that episode as well, if it's something I haven't even mentioned, let me know, I'm all ears. But yeah, I'm gonna put some emphasis on the vision board because I really, really need your help and advice for that one. I really want to do a good vision board this year, next year. When is the best time to do your vision board?

Is it New Year's Eve? Is it New Year's Day? Is it none of those? Let me know. Any of my Manifesting Queens, you'll know. You'll have a whole plan that you do every year, so please share your wisdom so we can share it with the girlies. All right, but apart from the New Year's episode, I'm also planning on doing, because this was actually one of you guys' ideas. One of your guys' ideas, why is it so hard to say. Obviously we do a lot of dilemmas which obviously inevitably can be a bit negative and can just

involve problems and situations and one of you said you need some hope for love and good experiences and relationships and that you would love to hear people's love stories and I thought that is bloody gorgeous. I love that idea. So please also send me in an email learontheline at gmail.com or you can hit me up in the insta DMs but Instagram has this thing where like you can only send one Instagram and unless I click click accept you can't send me another one so it's so annoying do you know what I mean? It's so irritating because so many people they're like capped in the DMs so if that is you send me an email instead and I want to hear your positive love stories, how you met your partner, any red string theory situations, any fate things that have happened, you just...

There is no other way to describe besides fate. I feel like my story with Jamie, there was like a lot of, I guess just like coincidences. I've probably spoke about it before but I feel like it hasn't been for a long time so I will tell that little story again. I definitely made a TikTok on it, I just can't remember if I ever spoke about it in depth on the pod, like how we met and stuff and all the weird shit that happened. Like yeah, I won't get into it now but there's some pretty cool stuff behind my meeting Jamie. So if you have anything like that, send it in. We want to hear all your positive love stories, even if you're not together anymore, okay? Just like a beautiful love story, how you met somebody, if it's like, oh it was an ex but the way you met was really nice and really lovely,

because obviously there's nothing wrong with a good old hinge match, do you know what I mean? There isn't. But, sometimes you just can't be a good old bumping into someone in a coffee shop. Do you know what I mean? Like how many people in their relationships now did you meet in person and just speak in person? And I don't mean like in a club or surrounded by alcohol. How many people met somebody, you're both stone cold, so burst the daytime and you approach them or they approach you and just said like, hey, I think you're really attractive I'd love to take you out Because like what what the fuck happened to that, you know, so I'd love to hear it. I think it's such an amazing idea So thank you so much to the girl who sent that in

And any other ideas. Oh my god. Did you hear my wrist click then? Jesus Christ that was intense any of our ideas that you have for Focused episodes Because obviously we do the dilemmas every week, but you guys seem to love and I love as well when I do the special episodes, whether it's like, I did recently the questions episode, just asking you a load of questions. And then we did the honesty episode, the cheating episode, the breakup episode, the friendships episode, whatever breakup episode, the friendship episode, whatever. Like, if you have any ideas, even if it's one we've already done and we can

do again, let me know if there was a specific one that you enjoyed. And yeah, love you guys so much, let's get into the Christmas gift guide. Welcome to Lear on the Line. Join me every Tuesday as I dial your number for the ultimate unfiltered bestie catch-up. Whatever it is, we will laugh together and guide each other along the way. Head to learontheline.com and follow learontheline on Instagram to get involved. Love you! So guys, is it just me or is it not feeling all that festive this year? Like, I remember, I don't know if it's because Christmas just felt more magical when you're younger, but just walking the streets at Christmas time

just felt more magical. Like, the houses are flashing with lights, you can see the trees through people's windows, someone's telly's on and their curtains are open so you can see they're watching a cosy Christmas film with the tree lights on, and it just felt festive. Like, you can't even go shopping without feeling so festive and it's like there's lights everywhere there's Christmas music everywhere listen Winter Wonderland doesn't even play Christmas music you go to Winter Wonderland they're playing fucking Robbie Williams and I don't I'm impartial to a bit of Robbie Williams but come on I just want a little bit of rocking around the Christmas tree do you know what I mean I just feel like the Christmas magic is fading away and is that my age or is that just the nation?

Because what are we doing wrong? And let's bring it back. I miss it. I saw a TikTok today that was like, it was actually beautiful. She, um, or he or she, I don't know who is behind the camera, but they were filming Christmas houses in definitely America because these houses were A, fucking stunning and like all the Christmas houses you see in your amazingly rubbish Hallmark Christmas films and they had loads of Christmas lights and they put a song on like the vibe of the lights. I reposted it because it just made me feel so good, I loved it. And I'm like America America just do Christmas better. They do Halloween better, but they definitely do Christmas better.

So can we up the game? I say that with no Christmas lights on my house. Do you know when I was a kid we used to have Christmas lights on our house? Oh, to be fair, we had a big storm recently and there was like Christmas lights flying around the streets where they come attached from people's houses. So that was nice. Um, but yeah, when I was a kid we used to have Christmas lights on our house. We had Santa on a train. Not sure why, because he obviously doesn't drive a train. But it was festive and fun. My mum used to just get him up every year and it was like the best.

And they were so tacky and hideous. Like we just had like things, like Santa on a train and like all this stuff just sat on the house flashing away and it was just amazing. And obviously as we got older we stopped bothering. I don't know what she done with them. She probably sold them or took them to the dump but yeah. I just feel like the festive vibes are just not what they used to be. Let me know if you feel the same.

Let me know if it's because we're just older now. The thing is, is my Christmases are still full of Santa festivities because as you guys know I've got a million niece and nephews. I would say niece and nephews because I only have one niece. The rest are all boys. I know it sounds grammatically incorrect because I don't say nieces and nephews, but I just have one singular niece. And the rest are boys.

So we're very male dominated around here in the niece and nephews department, but you never know, my twins could be twin girls. My mum really wants me to have twin boys because she's a twin to a girl, I'm a twin to a boy, so we've got the twin girls, twin girl and boy, we don't have the twin boys. But I'm like, mum, listen, I'm happy with whatever, you know what I mean? Happy and healthy is all I'm wishing for. But do we not have enough boys, you know? But you know, it is what it is.

I talk about having twins like it's definite. I genuinely talk about it like it's definite. I don't know why. I truly believe it in my soul. I've always believed it when I was really young. So then going to psychics and two of them telling me that I'm gonna have twins, I'm like, I know! So if I talk about having twins, like I'm predicting the future, it's because I am. But anyway, I'm so excited to like have my own Christmas traditions when I'm older. Do you know what I mean? I saw this amazing thing. It was this mum and her daughter and she got a pinecone and she put it in like a little tub and her and her daughter watered it, like they just poured water over it and sprinkled

like glitter on it. So it's like the dust. Came down in the morning and it was a Christmas tree and I've never seen that before and I feel like I'm definitely going to be doing that. I think it's so sweet. I think that's lovely. I love that idea. Let me know your Christmas traditions as well. Send me a DM if Instagram will fucking let you. But yeah, I just love a good tradition. Oh, also, did you guys all get a Christmas Eve present? Because we did. Every year we got a Christmas Eve present. It was just tradition. We still do it now with all the nieces and nephews,

with all the grandkids, they all get a Christmas Eve present. Do you know, one year, because my mum, well Santa, didn't put our Christmas presents in sacks, he put them in bin bags, right? Must have run out of sacks by the time we got to my house. So we had a bin bag full of Christmas presents, we didn't give a fuck! Do you know what I mean? So what happened one year, I must have been about eight or nine, we used to spend every Christmas at my auntie's in London, and one year I'm opening all my presents, opening all my presents and I'm like oh my god and my sister's opening all these presents right and I'm so jealous of her presents because she's showing me like because my mum used to go right

three two one go like it wasn't like a kid at a time or anything or one present at a time it was like go ham like just dive in so it was like 321 go we're all opening our presents at the same time and my sister's like look what i got look what i got and i was fuming i was so jealous of her presence i was like oh my god i want that i want that i want that and all of a sudden my mum goes wait a minute jode um I want that I want that. All of a sudden my mom goes, wait a minute, Joed. Um, I got a feeling they're leers. I'm thinking how would you know? Anyway, I got a feeling they're leers and then she turns, my sister turns to her side, she's got a whole sack next to her. She's opening my presents the bitch. For so long. She got like halfway through my fucking sack. It was all my presents. So she's like buzzing thinking, oh my god I haven't even started mine yet. And I'm also kind of buzzing because I've got all

the things that I was really jealous of. I'm like, oh thank god it was mine. That makes so much more sense. But yeah. And then she had a whole load of presents so I didn't even get to open half of my presents because my sister opened them for me. But it was alright. Also, another thing that happened to poor little old me, right, you guys know we do Secret Santa every year, one year it got messed up, we had to do the draw twice, I can't remember for whatever reason, my sister probably fucking told everyone who she's got because she can't keep her mouth shut every single year, I know who she's got this year, every single year she tells me, by accident, right, she bluts out like an idiot. But to be fair, I kind of tricked her kids into telling me this year because I guessed who she had, right? I'm

not going to say who she is, who she's got because my, some people in my family listen to this, right? But this is what happened. Let's say she had my dog. I'm using my dog as an example because that's not possible. My dog is not involved in Secret Santa. But I had a feeling I was like, she's definitely got Missy, she's definitely got the dog. She obviously doesn't by the way, just so you know I'm using the dog as an example. She's definitely got Missy, I've just got an idea. She made it so obvious that she's got Missy and then her kids was round and I went, mum's got Missy, ain't she? And they went, yeah how do you know? And I was like, oh

I didn't but now I do. So I kind of tricked her kids into telling me this year. But anyway, back to my poor old me story. One year we had to redo the drawer, right? And my brother mixed it up because he bought for the first person he got in the first drawer and everyone else knew, okay, ignore the first name you got, you're buying for the second name. My brother got confused and carried on buying for the first name and ignored the second

name. The second name he had was me. The first name he had was my mum. I was buying for my mum so so was my brother. You know what that meant? Nobody was buying for me. It got to Christmas morning, everyone's putting their sacks down anonymously, put them in the room and they have names on. Oh there's there's Jodie's, there's Leanne's, there's Aaron's, there's Mum's. Hold on a minute Leah, where's your sack? Wait a minute Mum, you've got two sacks. I didn't have a fucking sack. So one Christmas, and you better believe I don't let my family live this down, I didn't

have any presents. Because as you guys know know we don't do presents in my family we just do Secret Santa. To be fair my mum always says I'm right I'm not gonna do it this year because we say mum stop wasting your money it's fine you've got enough grandchildren and family members to buy for don't worry about us we're big we're big adults now. You just get the kids right but my mum every year she can't physically do it she can't so she always ends up buying us presents and thank the heavens that she did that year because otherwise I would have had nothing and obviously listen guys

That's not Christmas is about blah blah blah, but how depressing is that I know it's not what Christmas about but that was depressing mate She woke up so excited Christmas. Merry Christmas like Christmas morning Christmas morning. I got fucking present It's like I was on the naughty list like I like I got coal mate. I was so pissed off anyway Speaking of presents, should I actually get into the point this episode now? Yeah Christmas gift guides. Okay, I Am gonna kick it off with the girlies in our lives your bestie your sister I guess your mum could come into this as well I haven't got a gift guide for mothers and let me explain why. My mum is the hardest woman in the world to buy for and let me tell you why.

She can't wear perfume because she suffers with headaches and migraines and is very sensitive to strong smells. You put a fucking spray of perfume on in this house. She's like, who sprayed perfume? Who sprayed perfume? My head pounding, my head pounding so you can't buy perfume. She doesn't wear makeup, she's extremely fussy with her clothes, extremely fussy with her hair products, not a girly girl like she's and she likes what she likes. My mum was on them people, my aunt is actually the same. They like what they like. She's got her favourite bag that she uses every day, even though it's falling apart. She's got her favourite pair of boots that she wears. She's got her favourite

pair of trainers that she wears. She's got her creams that she uses. And she will not change. You think, oh, them trainers are nice. My mum, they would look really nice on my mum. No, no, because they're not, they're not Adidas Superstar, which is all she wears. So they won't, they won't do. So, my mum is so hard to buy for, so I really struggled to do a mother's gift guide. But, I feel like, if you have a girly girl mum, you can get them a couple of things on this list. You know, so, let's go straight in with the girly stuff I am gonna kick this off with an absolute classic one that I feel Every girl actually that's not that's actually not true, but a lot of girls

Would love and appreciate Some good old gold hoops. They can be silver. She's a silver girl. I'm just speaking personally. I love my gold hoops, okay? I've got my go-to pair of gold hoops and they are from a brand called Daphne. I don't know if that's how you pronounce it, but it's spelled D-A-P-H-I-N-E. I've lost them twice. This is my third pair. Jamie replaces them for me every time, but they are my favourite gold hoops, okay? They are called the O-L-I

Olly hoops, but they're not the mini. You can get Olly Hoops mini. No, no, no, no. I mean the mini ones are gorge, but they're mini, right? If you want like a good old, if you've seen me in my gold hoops, I wear like the same size hoops all the time. I don't always wear the same pair because I'm gonna get into the other ones that I love as well, but they're always around the same size. They're like a medium hoop. I'm not a big hoop girl. I don't like a huggy. I like just like a classic size gold hoop and these are the perfect size for me and they last so well and they're that back where you don't push a back on, it like

clips in, if that makes sense, it like clips into the end of the hoop so they don't fall out your ears, they don't weigh your hole down, they're not heavy, they're really light so they don't give you a slit in your ear for the perfect hoops But I also love hoops and all jewelry to be honest from Priya or prior I think it's Priya and Boho moon. So Priya do some really nice hoops called the Nadine earrings They're really really nice Boho moon do so much nice jewelry. So Staying on the jewelry theme Boho moon do this cracker. Okay, it's like, it's 38 pounds. You get a necklace which has, it's all gold. I don't know if they do a silver version as well, but the one I've found is gold.

And the necklace is like a gold bow. It's really cute. And you get a bangle and some, you know they're like Bottega jute earrings, they're like teardrop earrings. It's all gorge. And for 38 pound it comes in a Christmas cracker. I think it's such a nice present. Um, and they, all of these places do the most gorge jewellery.

And you could get a necklace that has her name on it, that has her kids name on it, or her boyfriend's name on it, or her star sign, because you can get a lot of personalized jewellery on Priya and Bohemian as well and they're all so pretty. boyfriend's name on it or her star sign because you can get a lot of personalized jewelry on Priya and Boho moon as well and they're all so pretty they're all waterproof they don't tarnish I know with Boho moon you get like a years or lifetime guarantee actually so yeah, I love that from them The next one okay. I I'm not a fan of the whole jelly cat situation I don't I personally I don't really get it I hope I'm not offended anyone because I know a lot of people are very passionate about the jelly cat situation. I don't, I personally I don't really get it. I hope I'm not offending anyone because I know a lot of people are very passionate about the jelly cat situation. I'm not really like a teddy girl. I don't like teddies on my bed. It just feels like clutter. I

don't like it. So yeah, I don't, I don't like teddies. I'm just not a teddy girl. But I know jelly cat is a big thing and it really took off this year and last year. So I feel like a jelly cat if you know that the girls that you're buying for love a good jelly cat, such a good present because they ain't fucking cheap mind. They ain't cheap. And there's so many that you could get something really personal to you. Personally, I really love the croissant. The croissant. I love the croissant.

It's really cute. Do you know one of my biggest pet peeves is when people say croissant? Croissant. Where's the wuh? croissant. It's really cute. Do you know one of my biggest pet peeves is when people say croissant Croissant Where's the w croissant? I just don't like it Hey, I don't know how you're even supposed to pronounce it in the French language, but I just say croissant and Yeah, the croissant jelly cat is really cute. Maybe you went to Paris together or Maybe both just like croissants It's cute it's really cute

They also do like a little marshmallow keychain and I've seen what people do is they cut one off and they put it on Another key ring and then you both have like matching key rings and you have a marshmallow each and it's a little a bestie duo It's really cute but anything that's like personal to you anywhere that you've been and There's like a jelly cat that marks that whatever I feel like it's really really cute But anything that's like personal to you anywhere that you've been and there's like a jelly cat that marks that whatever I feel like it's really really cute. Maybe it will go with another present that you're you're getting. I don't know But just a cute idea Another one because I don't think all your presents needs to be like big expensive presents Okay, I think a good old phone case is a nice present. Coconut Lane do

really nice phone cases, they've got a burgundy one that is so nice. I, my current phone case, I fucking love it, it's like my favorite phone case I've ever had. It's a tortoise shell, tortoise shell, how do you say that? Tortoise shell? Yeah it's not tortoise. What am I talking about? I just combined tortoise and turtle. It's like a tortoise shell, gorgeous brown phone case and I got it on TikTok shop. So if you just search that on TikTok, it'll come up. And then I got one of these sticky back things, you know the suction pads that you stick on your phone case. I got that in black and it looks really nice together and people always ask me where I got my phone case from thinking that it's in one But it's not so I feel like a phone case and some sticky backs if she would appreciate a sticky back

I don't know really good for filming tiktoks and watching YouTube when you're getting ready So I stick my phone to my mirror while I'm watching YouTube genius Such cute little present join me And then I also think Raffae have a mini heroes collection gift thing and you get the face primer, you know, like the really viral one that's got like a roller on the end. You get the brow sculpt and lip gloss. How nice is that? I personally have never tried any Rify products, but I've always wanted to.

So I feel like if somebody got me this it's such a nice present because you get to try three So I feel like if somebody got me this it's such a nice present because you get to try three minis and then say I got this and I was like, oh my god, that primer is so good and then I'm gonna get the full-size primer or Say I bought that for my sister and she's like, oh my god primer is sick. I love the primer Her birthday is coming up. I'll get you the full size. Do you know what I mean? such good present a Trinket dish I feel like, is a classic. It's gorge, it's beautiful.

And I found some really nice like beige marbly ones on Etsy, but there's so many. You can get them on Shein, you can get them on Amazon, you can get them on TikTok shop. Obviously with Shein, we don't have much time and their delivery is a bit longer so and sometimes TikTok shop is so always check your delivery on TikTok shop but um Amazon have some really nice trinket dishes as well if you are looking for them and you need cute mugs I love a cute mug I think basically any Weird shape to be fair. I'm very fussy with my shape mug. I don't like a thick heavy mug I don't want it too thick and in my lips And I don't want it to too wide

Where I'm never gonna drink a cup of tea that size. I don't want it, I don't, I don't really like a glass mug unless I'm drinking like a herbal tea. I don't want to make a coffee in a glass mug. I don't want to make, I don't want to make a good old normal English breakfast cup of tea in a glass mug. No, it doesn't look nice. I don't like it. I just want a good cute mug and you've probably all seen the, they're like wobbly shape and they have hearts all over them really cute Don't know if I'd even want to drink out of it because it doesn't look a nice shape to drink out of but it's a really Nice present. Do you know what I mean? So yeah, good old mug

Okay, this brand called Juno London they have these coffee iced coffee candles, right they are so cute It has like ice in it. Obviously, it's not ice? They are so cute. It has like ice in it, obviously it's not ice, it's a candle, it's wax. I don't know what they made it out of, maybe it's crystals, I'm not sure. By the way that's another good present. I love a candle with crystals in. TK Maxx always sell them, I think they're so nice and I really want one at the moment, I just can't find one with the good crystals that I'm looking for. So yeah, good present. But anyway, Juno London. J-U-N-A, London. It's an iced coffee candle and it smells like coffee. I want it so bad, it's so nice. Has like, it's like the perfect coffee colour. It looks like it's a glass of iced coffee. I kind of wish they made

like a fake straw in it. I kind of wish they did that. Just like a glass straw sticking out. I feel like that would eat. But that's okay. There's no glass straw. But if they are listening to this, um, just an idea. Pajamas. Okay, so if we're thinking bougie, we're obviously thinking skims. We're thinking lounge. That is a treat. If I open skims pajamas or lounge pajamas Wow, I'm thinking Jesus you you really forked out for me this year. I love you, but Also boohoo do the best pajamas like they are so nice. They speaking of iced coffee. They have a really nice best pajamas like they are so nice they speaking of ice coffee they have a really nice um print of like ice coffee cups all over this matching set of pajamas and i think it's really cute but they

have so many nice ones tiktok shop have really nice pajamas again check your delivery but who doesn't love new pajamas who doesn't raise your hand Zero people put their hands up then. Everyone loves new pyjamas. No matter how many you've got. Lounge underwear. Gorgeous. I feel like if it's your sister and your best friend and stuff, like it's never weird to buy them underwear. They do like thong sets or a bra and a thong set. Like how nice is that? Your besties treated you to a really nice, cute, lacy, pink lounge set. How nice. Love that. Rapid Lash. I've said it before and I will say it again. Rapid Lash Lash Serum. It works. Okay. It fucking works. I've been using this for like three years and I love it. My lashes are nothing

without Rapid Lash. They truly are nothing without Rapid Lash. I naturally have little stumps like when I put mascara on my lashes before Rapid Lash. It's just little clumps. It's little clumps of mascara on my eyelid. They're not even lashes. So ever since I started using this they are so long to the point where people always ask me like where I get my lashes done or what lashes I'm wearing. I'm like, baby, it's rapid lash. So honestly, it is incredible and again such a nice present. A white fox tracksuit, you cannot go wrong. They are now in the UK so you can get next day delivery on White Fox. Yeah, what the fuck. Again, expensive so it is a treat.

The Filter by Molly May Winter Essentials bundle, I love. It has a really cute bag. Like the nicest bag I've ever seen a fake tan brand produce. It is so nice. And I really like Filter by Molly May. I think it's a really good tan. Another really good tan I just recently tried is by Rose and Caramel. They went viral on TikTok for their scrub. I haven't used it yet, I have got one ready to try. But I never used it. But that's all I ever saw was this fake tan remover, that scrub, you know, when people would write like, sale on their arm and it was like scrubbed off fake tan like It was just everywhere to the point where it was actually low-key kind of annoying me

But anyway, they've brought out this new tan called so so dark It is Incredible. It is so good. I've had it on for I want to say about a week And i'm still so dark. It hasn't gone tiger bread as of yet Not even a little bit not even a little bit tiger bread, but I'll keep you updated but if you or your bestie or your sister whoever it is we're talking about loves a good fake tan and They're always like double layering because I know a lot of people like people say to me like how come your tan goes

So dark because I wash it off and it's gone. This one, you will not say that. You will wash this off and it looks like you need to wash your tan off. It's very dark, so be careful with it. Um, okay, and then I'm gonna finish off for the girlies with a personalized bookmark. If she's a reader, of course. Um, but I love the whore... the whore? Whoa! The page corner heart bookmarks. Okay, they're really cute and I found on Etsy you can get initial ones and I feel like it's really cute but even if you don't get

personalized ones, just bookmarks. Lovely present. The page corner hearts, you can get them on Amazon. Next day delivery if you're a member of Prime.

I don't know what it is about men but I feel like sometimes a lot of them are just like big kids and they love a good gadget. Do you know what I mean? Like they just love like adult toys, not sex toys. Although

could be a good present for the women in your life. Might be kind of weird. Depends how close you are with your bestie. But, we've done the bestie. Back to the dads. Anyway, they love a good gadget. Okay, they love a good gadget. So, I feel like, especially the dads that they love to host, you know, when people come around. Because a lot of dads, they want like a bar in the house or or a bar in the garage, or the man cave, do you know what I mean? A pizza oven. I'm sorry, it's sick. I would love to have a pizza oven in my house. If my dad had a pizza oven, and every time I went round, he's like, let's get the pizza oven out, I'd be loving life. So, the Range Do them, there you go, you don't need to order it online, you can go and pick it up, no worries about delivery, the Range Do one.

It was in sale over Black Friday for like 80 quid, I don't know what it is these days. That's just when I found it, but You can shop around. I'm sure I'll go sell them stuff like that But that's a good shout right and then also kind of a gadget, but not really a water flosser These went viral everywhere I feel like so many people that use them say that they are insane and like genuinely game-changing for your hygiene, your oral hygiene, your dental health. And it's a quite nice present because it's not really something that you would go out of your way to buy for yourself. Not really. I mean maybe you would, but you know, it's something that if somebody bought for you, you probably be like oh yeah i'll give it a go and then it's like yeah well I love it it's sick so I feel like it's a really cool present genuinely sounds kind of weird but I feel like it is quite cool especially for a dad it's like oh sweet decent something useful you know um another thing that I feel like men relate

on is their love of cheese unless they're vegan or lactose intolerant or I guess just don't like cheese But a good old cheese board you can get some really cool ones ones where you can pull out a drawer and there's a whole Set of knives in there Amazon a sick for it. They have so many cool ones. I've bought my dad so many cheese boards He probably thinks like where do you think I'm gonna put all these fucking cheese boards? How many cheese boards does one man need But I haven't bought him one this year. I actually bought- I'm not gonna say it actually because I haven't given it to him yet and I don't know if maybe he- he probably won't listen to this but just in case his wife might listen or something I don't know I'm not gonna say it.

So yeah a cheeseboard classic. You can even maybe get him a little hamper of cheeses to go with it. Gorgeous. Bottle of red wine, some grapes, stunning. If your dad is a whiskey drinker, my dad's not, I don't think. No, I've never ever known him to drink whiskey, but I feel like a lot of dads love a bit of whiskey, don't they? If they're like fucking hardcore legendary dads, they love a bit of whiskey, right? I found this bottle is called the Big Ben. It's literally a bottle shaped like Big Ben and it's so fucking cool It's genuinely sick. Like if you had it and then you drank it, I feel like you would keep the bottle forever It's really really cool. Like you'd put it on display. Have a little Google and look at it. It's genuinely sick

I don't know how good it would taste But it's genuinely sick. I don't know how good it would taste, but it's sick. If he's a golfing dad, if he if he's a bit of a golfing geezer, right, you can get, I found it on the high street, this it's like a little tin and it comes with personalized initial golf balls and tees and it's so sweet because if he plays golf it's a really personal thoughtful gift that he might not even use them on the course he might not but it's something to keep he could have it on display maybe in his office or wherever I don't know wherever but it's really cute and have a little look Google it have a little look at it I think it's really cute and have a little look. Google it, have a little look

at it, I think it's so sweet. And if you play golf, lovely present! I don't think my dad plays golf, no he doesn't, he's a football guy. He probably likes golf, I mean I know he does like golf but he doesn't go and play it, so I can't get him there. keeping it personalized again. You can get these really cool initial, like personalized initials, leather duffel bags. So nice. I think that's so nice. Men, they need a good duffel bag, don't they? Like, whether you're going away to watch the footy, going away for work, going to the gym, uh, going on holiday, you know they don't like to pay for cabin luggage.

Is it called cabin? What is it called? In the hold, they don't like to pay for hold luggage. A lot of dads. So they take the duffel bags. Perfect! So nice. And then finally a little classic, a good old belt, good old leather belt. Hugo Boss, it's like a universal dad brand. I found a really nice one on Next by Hugo Boss. Lovely. Sometimes you can get belts that come in really nice gift boxes, like they're like folded up, wrapped up all nicely in a gift box, really sweet present and something they will definitely use. Because even if you've got belt, it's probably started to peel on the leather or like it looks a bit worn, it's a bit, you know, it's a bit worse for wear, where he's probably had it for the last 15 years. Get him a nice new fresh belt, lovely.

All right, that's all I've got for dads. Listen how long the girly list was. Dads are so difficult to buy for, I really struggle buying my dad Christmas presents, I have no clue what to get him, but genuinely I feel like I did alright this year. I'm pretty confident with all my Christmas shopping this year, I'm not gonna lie, but then to be honest, I am every year and then they open it and I just think, oh my god I'm so sorry, what a load of shit, what a load of fucking tat, I'm so sorry. But we'll see. Okay, the next person, and the final person I have a gift guide for, is the man in your life, the lover in your life.

This is the annual gift guide for your boyfriend. Okay, so I always see TikToks every year saying like, girls this is your reminder that your boyfriend doesn't appreciate the personalised scrapbook that you're gonna make him or the five senses bags that you're gonna get him, you know, when it's like smell, touch, whatever. They don't like it. And I see it every year. And I know it's like smell, touch, whatever. They don't like it and I see it every year and I know it's bullshit because Jamie loves that shit. Jamie would rather I spend two hours, three, okay, it would take a lot longer than two hours but at least two hours making him a personalized scrapbook than buy him a fucking sack full of expensive presents. I know that for a fact. So if you do want to do them personalized gifts and you know your boyfriend well enough to know he would actually love and

appreciate it, do it because I think nothing beats a gift from the heart. But if you need some ideas for what to actually buy them, I have a little list okay. It's not easy, it's tough but these are just some ideas. We're gonna start with an expensive It's not easy, it's tough, but these are just some ideas. We're gonna start with an expensive one, okay? Just putting it out there, this one is pretty fucking expensive. A Couture Club tracksuit, gorgeous though, do you know what I mean? So expensive, so expensive, but a fucking great present because they last ages, nobody doesn't want a nice new tracksuit. Do you know what I mean? I love... nobody doesn't want... that's a double negative. Does that make sense? Yeah, that does make sense. Basically, every, everyone wants a nice

new tracksuit and the Couture Club are really nice. They do a really nice Grey one that I love. It's just like their classic Couture Club logo And they have like the wide leg bottoms which my boyfriend's personally really into at the moment And I think they're pretty sick so a nice tracksuit, but again, it doesn't have to be Couture Club That's if we're feeling bougie and we want to treat them You can also get some really nice tracksuits on Boohoo Man. Like so many other places you can get really nice tracksuits. Look on Vinted, do you know what I mean? Like so many nice tracksuits. Again, on the cloven theme, some good quality plain tees, I feel like you can't go wrong. Everyone needs a nice new fresh one, even if he's got a billion white t-shirts. A nice new crispy white one that's not even touched the washing machine yet.

Straight out of Zara, H&M, wherever. Pull & Bear, wherever you want to shop. So nice to have a nice crispy fresh t-shirt. You can get like multi-packs on ASOS and stuff, or you can get like a white, black and a grey one in a set of three. Lovely. Yeah? So my boyfriend has a watch, right?'s from Casio if that's how you say it and it's really cheap. It's not expensive, I think it's about 45 pounds, something like that. It went viral on TikTok, that's how he found it. It is so fucking nice guys, it's so smart. If you

just search on TikTok like viral men's Casio watch it should come up. It's like kind of squarish, there's a few different colors you can get, like different faces. Really fucking smart guys, so nice. He has one in the app that he loves it. And how nice is a new watch? Such a nice present.

Again jewelry okay I found online and again I got this for Jamie a couple of years ago and he loves it it's like his favorite present today he wears it every single day. I got him a ring that on the inside I wrote a little message so you can write whatever you want you can write your initials like you could put L plus J or you could write the date that you met you could write whatever you want. You can write your initials, like you could put L plus J Or you could write the date that you met, you could write your Wedding anniversary, you could write the year or date that your child was born, you could write your nickname for him like Big dick, like whatever you call him

Write it inside and I think it's so so nice because on the outside everyone else it's just a nice little ring it's just a nice plain band on his finger but to you and to him it's so much more special than that and it's nice because it's not cringy and embarrassing because nobody else knows what it says inside apart from you two and how sweet is that I think it's a really nice present because he's gonna open it and be like oh it's a lovely ring and then you're like read inside and then it's like oh my god I love it a million times more. I think it's a beautiful present. Okay and then last one, one for the gamer

guys, gamer dudes okay. You can get a controller, an xbox controller. I don't know if you can get a playstation one because I know know if you can get a PlayStation one because I know that if you're a PlayStation guy, you'd probably, you'd like roll over and throw up at the thought of getting an Xbox controller. But luckily my boyfriend's an Xbox guy and he has this, okay. We found it in B&M and we were like,

that looks fucking sick, okay. You plug your phone into it. It comes with with a little stand for your phone that hovers above the controller and it turns your phone basically into an Xbox. You can use it on all games. I don't know about all games but you can use it on a lot of apps, a lot of app games. And his phone, it just knows he's using a controller. It's really weird. It tells you what different buttons to press and stuff. It's really clever. You can get Call of Duty on it. Like it is sick,

right? You just plug your phone in and you're sat with an Xbox controller in your hand. Your phone is the screen attached to the controller and you play games. And it's 12 quid in B&M. 12 quid! It's such a steal. And it was on Amazon for like 20 quid over Black Friday and they had it as Recommended retail price 70 pounds and I thought hmm Not sure about that. It's in B&M for 12 pounds girls So run and get one is such a cool present even if he doesn't use it that often It's just like quite a fun thing to have you know He might get well addicted to it and just be sat

Gaming on his phone all the time which might be hell, but it's okay I just think it's a really cool present and quite different so Yeah, if he obviously has an Xbox that he plays a lot I don't know how useful that would be but Jamie doesn't have an Xbox although. He is very desperate to buy one So I'm not sure how long that's going to go on for, but yeah. Okay guys, I hope you found all of that helpful. I really hope you did.
