BLOGMAS DAY 10 - Christmas 'Would You Rather'

BLOGMAS2016 21:30

Hello Internet!

Welcome to day 10 of Blogmas! After today, it's only 2 weeks until Christmas - I cant believe how quickly it's going!

Anyway, for today's post, I'm going to try something a little more fun than usual.

I went on BuzzFeed and found some Christmas-themed 'Would-You-Rather' questions and I thought that I'd share some of my answers with you.

1) Would you rather: chug a gallon of eggnog at once OR sit on a mall Santa's lap for an hour?

I've never had eggnog and it doesn't sound particularly appetising. However, sitting on Santa's lap for a hour doesn't sound like it'd be very comfortable and it would probably get pretty awkward. Therefore, I'd probably go for the eggnog. There's a small chance I'd like it, right?

2) Would you rather: have it be true that Christmas trees feel pain and scream when you cut them down OR have it be true that Christmas cookies feel pain and scream when you eat them?

This question is actually pretty easy for me as I don't get a real tree - I've always had a fake one. Therefore, if trees felt pain, my conscience would be clean because I'm not the person causing them to get cut down. Cookies, however, are a complete different story. If I was killing a cookie every time I ate one, I'd have a very guilty conscience.

3) Would you rather: grow a permanent Santa beard OR grow permanent reindeer antlers?

I really had to think about this one because, this probably won't come as a surprise to you, but I don't really want either of those things. However, I feel like the reindeer antlers will look slightly cooler than the beard. I guess I could always get a really tall hat to hide them?

4) Would you rather: work as a mall Santa for the rest of your life OR become the real Santa and have to live in the North Pole.

Why is this even a question? Why would I not want to be Santa? I mean, it might not be this obvious for everything but - for me - this is by far the easiest question I've ever answered. Of course I want to live in the North Pole!

5) Would you rather: star in a remake of Home Alone OR star in a remake of Elf?

I love both of these films but I think Elf is probably the funniest out of the two. Therefore, it'd have to be Elf.

6) Would you rather: wrap a perfectly cube-shaped gift and have the pattern on the wrapping paper line up perfectly OR take a bite of a warm sugar cookie?

I'm probably going to sound weird but I'd definitely choose the perfect gift wrapping. When it comes to this kind of stuff, I am a complete perfectionist. Also, it only says that you get one bite of the cookie, which is completely evil. Why would you want to have only one bite - surely that'd just make you want to eat more?

7) Would you rather: be locked in a padded room with someone who hates everyone about Christmas OR be locked in a padded room with someone who is fanatical when it comes to Christmas.

This is another obvious question for me. To be honest, I'd probably be the Christmas fanatic person. Do I even need to say any more?

BLOGMAS DAY 6 - Where To Shop Online This Christmas

BLOGMAS2016 22:00

Hello Internet!

For Day 6 of Blogmas, I'm going to go through some of my favourite online shops at Christmas time. Personally, I do a lot of my Christmas shopping online because I think it so much easier and stress-free. I think that there are LOADS of great online sops which are perfect for Christmas Gifts so I hope you find it useful!

(This should be where my

post title goes but, because the website I use to edit it keeps crashing and is being really slow, I haven't been able to make it yet. As soon as the website finally loads, I'll insert the image here.)

1) Amazon

Amazon has pretty much everything to offer. I find most of my gifts here and I'm very rarely disappointed by what gets delivered to me. The only thing I'd suggest is to make sure you read the description properly and ensure that the seller has provided you with an accurate image of the product. I once bought a storage box which, based on the picture, looked quite big. When I received it, it turned out to be about the size of my hand. Since then, I've always checked to measurements in the description and I tend to read the customer reviews as well (if there is any). Mostly, however, I'm really pleased by what I get from Amazon because the prices are very low compared to other stores.

2) Prezzybox

This is a really nice website which has been the source of quite a few of my Christmas gifts. On Prezzybox, there is a variety of different gifts, mostly sentimental. Also, my favourite thing about this store is the fact that, on a lot of the gifts, you have the option to personalise it for the person you're giving it to. I find this a really positive aspect as it just seems to make the gift more meaningful and makes it especially appropriate for Christmas. Also, I'm pretty sure that they offer to gift-wrap a selection of gifts, which makes it even more perfect.

3) Superdrug

Superdrug, of course, is great for beauty products and toiletries (which is what the majority of the gifts that I give out consist of). At Christmas, there are some really good sales and you can save a lot of money. If you don't want to spend a lot of money but you also don't want to give gifts of a low quality, I definitely suggest Superdrug.

4)The Works

The Works is turning into one of my favourite shops, both online and the shop itself. Here, you can buy stationary, books and art & craft supplies. It is seriously SO cheap here and the sales are amazing. This store is perfect to buy gifts for book-lovers or stationary-lover (I am both of those things). Also, it's a great shop for little kids. There's a particular deal where you can buy 5 children's books for £5, which is really good when you compare the price to other book shops. Therefore, if you have any young children in your family, this is a great place to do your Christmas shopping.
