ASOS | The Unexpected Xmas Gift Shop

I'm a big ASOS fan - their range of clothes and brands is huge and the site is insanely easy to use. I'm also a big Christmas fan, and this year, I'm looking to be really organised with my gift buying.

Where I buy my gifts tends to be high-street stores like TK Maxx (if I'm brave enough to battle the crowds and jumble-sale-esque layout in there) and online retailers like Amazon, because you can find pretty much anything on there. Where I wouldn't have turned first for gift-buying is ASOS, however, upon my weekly* (let's be real, *daily) browse of ASOS's New In section, I've noticed a load of gifts come onto the site and I'm super impressed with the selection they have. Most aren't too harsh on your bank balance and there's some nice gift sets, home bits, jewellery and fashion items.

Here are my picks...

Fizz Party Bulb | £9.99

ASOS / Fizz

One of my friends once bought a bulb like this to a NYE house party and it was an actual game-changer. It slots into a normal light-bulb input and turned my mates living room into a party room  instantly. It spins and projects the multi-coloured lights boldly - this would be great if you know somebody at University or simply want to take your own parties up a notch.

The Essential Fan Guide Book to Ru Paul's Drag Race | £13.00

ASOS

When I came across this book on the sight I genuinely gasped in happiness- as a massive fan of Ru Paul's Drag Race, this book looks like one for the coffee table for me. The 216 page book features over 100 of the Queens from the series and has fun stuff like quotes and trivia inside. From the images on the ASOS listing, it looks like a fun read full of gorgeous artsy illustrations.

KADO Iridescent Water Flask | £10.00

ASOS / KADO

I know what you're thinking, and yes, I've put a water bottle in a gift-guide...but look how PRETTY it is. This would be perfect if you know someone who wants to drink more water, or someone who's due an upgrade from their past-it's-shelf-life reused SmartWater bottle. I'm sold.

NYX Make-up Sets: Glitter Goals & Mini Lip Vault - Matte Vs Metals | £15-£30

ASOS / NYX

Calling all make-up junkies; add these to your wishlist this year. NYX is a beauty brand I love and their gift sets are pretty impressive this year. The Glitter Goals set is perfect for the festive season (their glitters are genuinely really great) and the Mini Lip vault is sure to make your lipstick-loving mate smile.


Fizz Creations Rainbow Neon Light | £24.99

ASOS / Fizz Creations

I have a love for light-up home-decor and rainbows recently, so this Rainbow Neon Light naturally caught my eye. I've actually got one really similar to this; it sits on my bedside table and glows pretty bright and I'm obsessed with it.

Happy gift-buying! - Read my previous post here which addresses the obstacles and stresses of Xmas shopping.
