Easy Birthday presents that I love

 

Hey guys!

We are officially in February and my Birthday month.

Don't worry I don't really celebrate all month, it just sounds good doesn't it?!

Literally though where did January go? For me it really went quick. I think with Mark commuting and working from home the weeks really do go quick for us me! 

With it being my Birthday at the end of the month I thought I'd share some present ideas. People always say I'm hard to buy for, but I'm genuinely shocked by that statement because I really do think I'm the easiest person to buy for. Maybe people just think I'm fancy and high maintenance, but I'm really not. I am quite simple really and easily pleased. Do you think you're easy or hard to buy for?

This is going to be a fictional list as I am 43 about to turn 44 and I don't really receive presents anymore and I don't expect them. I just thought this would be a fun post and may give you a few ideas if you're ever stuck with something to buy someone for their Birthday or just gifting in general, for a thank you for example.

+ Socks - I absolutely love socks. Especially cosy fluffy ones, Primark do good ones.

+ Chocolate - You cannot go wrong with a box of chocolates, or even a giant choccie bar if it's for a present. Ooo a box of Malteasers too, yum!

+ Wine - another easy standard gift. I don't drink much anymore, but a bottle of wine is always gratefully received, popped in a bottle gift bag always makes a nice touch.

+ Smellies - I also love beauty products. Even just a nice bubble bath or bath salts. Also things like body lotions, make-up brushes are always lovely gifts.

+ Candles - everyone loves a candle! 

+ Flowers or a pot plant or some Cactus. I love Cactus and the beauty of that they will last for forever hopefully.

+ Stationary - oh I love stationary. A lovely notebook or a novelty pen, you know the ones with a pom pom on the end or something. Reminds me of Cher from Clueless when I was younger - showing my age I know, haha.

+ a Mug - Mugs are great presents, something everyone uses, whether you're a big tea drinker like me, love a coffee or even a creamy hot chocolate on a winters day, a lovely mug is always a good gift. Make it more bougie and put some chocs in it or even the socks. Or both!

If you wanted to spend a little more I think a gift box or basket with a selection of random bits in is a lovely present too. The basket/box doubles up as the present too. By putting some tissue paper in the bottom then placing everything in nicely, just gives it that personal touch.

With shops like Home Bargains, B&M and here in Spain we have Pepco (Poundland) and Tedi, it's easy to pick up some lovely budget friendly presents.

I think it's all about just letting the person know you've thought about them on their Birthday. It really doesn't (shouldn't anyway) be about expensive presents. For me it really is the thought that counts!

Are you the same, do you get the same buzz from a smaller gift as well as the big gesture gifts?

Either way it's always lovely to receive a present on your Birthday, not gonna lie ; )

Happy Thursday guys, see you next week!

♥ Heather

My experience with Emdogain

  Hola mi amigos! Happy Thursday and welcome back to the blog. I hope everyone is well. I wanted to chat today about my recent Emdogain surgery. They call it surgery, but I guess it's really a procedure, as it's done under local anaesthetic, they just numbed the area of the gum and it was done at my dentist practice. Either way it wasn't a pleasant thing to go though. My sympathy goes out to you if you're having this done or anything to do with your teeth for that matter.  I think since I had braces about 5 or 6 years ago my pain threshold for the dentist has completely gone down to zero. I never used to mind going to the dentist, but recently I dread it. It's probably because I'm getting older and things are sadly starting to go wrong. It just feels like every time you go they suggest something else that will need attention. Anyway, with that aside let me tell you a little bit about Emdogain. Well how I understand it anyway and what I've been through with i...

Skincare routine revisited + Beauty of Joseon review

  Hi guys welcome back to the blog ♥ Hope everyone's well and having a good week.  * * * Back in January I shared with you what skincare products I use daily and I mentioned I had bought a couple of new items which I would report back on. Here's the  link  to that post if you wanna quick read. About a week or so after writing that post I really started looking at my skin and to be honest it wasn't looking quite right. I always seem to have a red nose and red chin which does bother me. I don't drink alcohol very much at all, literally a glass of wine a month, if that, so it can't be alcohol related. I'm thinking maybe some sort of mild rosacea maybe or maybe it is my skin reacting to the products I use. I went on good old ChatGPT and that suggested I literally strip everything back basically and just use warm water to wash my face in the morning and minimise the products I'm using on my face. When I entered what I was using it recommended to stop using the to...

My daily beauty products

  Hi Guys, I hope 2026 is treating you well so far. In my previous  post  I mentioned about some beauty products I had just started using and I will report to you my thought's in due course, but it got me to thinking about the products I already use on a daily basis. My bathroom staples if you like, the go-to's.  It's something I'm always curious to know, what are the products on peoples sinks, their everyday toiletries. Not the ones that maybe an ad feature or collaboration, but the ones that get popped in the shopping basket week after week, month after month. The products that may not be as aesthetically pleasing, but always make the cut. I'm not going to go through every single product I use, 'cause quite frankly you and me just don't have the time and if you're anything like me you haven't got the attention span for it either. But I am going to show you the main players that I literally use everyday. Some I do switch up according to price and ju...
