NEVER TOO LATE FOR A CHRISTMAS WISH LIST

I know you've probably heard this a million times, but I genuinely can not believe that Christmas is next week. With that said, I know Santa might want to know if there are any last minute bits he should pop on his list for me, so I've kindly put together this little lot for him. 

My family and I always have a strict budget of £50 each at Christmas and no more - it used to be £30 but this year we've decided to set the budget a little higher. I don't actually need or want anything so this is just an imaginary wish list - as cliche as it sounds, all I want is for everyone to be happy, healthy and together on Christmas day.

However, I know that doesn't give Santa much to wrap up come the 25th so here you are big guy, check out my festive fancy wish list...

First up with have the Wildflower by Drew Barrymore book, which I've heard great things about - plus with a cover this pretty, it's the perfect coffee table/Instagram background read. 

Secondly, I absolutely adore this gold fish eye camera from Lomography, and although I don't necessarily need another camera, it sure would look pretty on my shelves. 

OK, I get it, £125 is hella' steep for a card holder, but how gorgeous is this pink Charlotte Olympia leather feline number? What I actually need are some business cards first, but when I finally get around to doing that, this case might be next on the shopping list. 

In regards to home additions, I'd love it if Santa managed to grab this Palm print from Society6 whilst he was in America next week. I spotted this on I Covet Thee originally and it would be perfect in my front room, next to my blue sofa and striped cushions. 

My biggest vice at Christmas - OK, any time of year - is chocolate. Thorntons chocolate at that. I'm currently devouring a Viennese chocolate every morning in my homemade advent calendar, which is probably the best thing a girl can wake up to when it's cold and dull outside. A naked Channing Tatum would also be great but chocolate will have to do for now. The Thorntons Christmas Gift Finder allows you to input details about what yummy gift you're looking for, depending on the recipient's tastes and likes, and hey presto, it comes up with a variety of gift ideas. Perfect if you're stuck of what to buy old Aunt Edna. 

Finally, I'd love two little additions to my wardrobe in the shape of these beautiful blue velvet court shoes from Topshop, and a watch from new label Daisy Dixon. I've only recently discovered Daisy Dixon but they have so many beautiful watch designs, it was hard to choose which one I prefered - in the end I went with a classic gold style. It definitely looks more expensive than its £55 price tag.

What's on your Christmas wish list this year?
