Blogmas #6 Somewhere to Shop This Christmas: Flamingo Gifts


When you're brainstorming gift ideas for Christmas, one site I recommend having a browse through is Flamingo Gifts. Admittedly if you're anything like me you'll immediately want everything for yourself, but you're after some fun and quirky bits and pieces you'll feel like you've won the jackpot with this one. It's brimming with tonnes of gorgeous girly gifts, novelties and amazing ideas that are a bit different than anything else you'd find on the highstreet.

The deer tray and fox coasters are both from the brand Sasse and Belle, these would make lovely little gifts or stocking fillers for someone who loves homeware. The tray especially is really versatile, and could be used for anything from displaying jewellery or makeup on a dressing table, to holding things like paperclips and elastic bands in a home office or even be used on a side table in a hall for a place to put your keys when you get home. The fox makeup bag is also from Sasse and Belle, and the quality is obvious from the feel of the soft and supple material. Such a cute gift for a beauty lover, you could even include a couple of new products inside! If you know someone who spends far too much money in Starbucks then something like the flamingo flask could be an ideal gift, that way they're able to bring their own coffee to work or university. These are handy to have in general, they keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold so are also good used over the summer for things like picnics and days out. The design is beautiful, and it holds 500ml/ half a litre so a good size too. Finally Flamingo Candles are some of the best I've ever tried, they have fifty hours burn time and the scents really fill the room when lit. They have the most gorgeous unique scents that you'd just never find elsewhere, this one is 'Macaroon, Almond and High Tea'. The almond note means it smells just like marzipan which is possibly one of my favourite scents; if you're buying for a marzipan lover, they're guaranteed to love the smell of this!

This is just a small snippet of what's available, while I've chosen quite girly pieces there are also loads of cool novelites and gifts for both men and children too. If you're stuck for ideas or are just after something a bit more unique this is one to check out- plus unlike most gifty type shops the prices are all really reasonable.
