Thanks to the cost of living, many people have had to change how they spend their money. It’s hard to cut back on certain things like gifts for family and friends especially when it comes to birthdays and Christmas. We like to treat those closest to us on special occasions. Personally, I’ve always been quite a savvy shopper anyway and pretty good at picking up products at really good prices. I recently bought a friend a gift for her birthday that didn’t break the bank, but she still received some really nice items. So what did I buy?
Next Eau Nude Bath Fizzer Cubes
I bought these online from Next earlier in the year for the sale price of £2.50. These were chosen because I liked the slightly retro idea of bath cubes instead of bath bombs. Cute packaging and from a store I knew my friend would appreciate.
Treacle Moon’s The Raspberry Kiss Body Scrub
I’ve used Treacle Moon’s body scrubs before and they are fabulous! My friend loves them too (thanks to me!) so I KNEW she would really enjoy trying a new fragrance in this product. I bought this from Tesco using my club card which meant it cost me £1.65 instead of £1.95.
Revolution Beauty’s Fruity Mini Scented Candle Trio
Who doesn’t love a good candle? I’ve never used Revolution Beauty’s candles before so honestly not too sure of the quality. But my friend loves candles and is very house proud. So worst case scenario these will be placed somewhere to look pretty if not to burn. I bought these online for £3.60 down from £12.00.
Revolution Beauty’s Finding Reed Diffuser
While I was on Revolution Beauty’s website checking out their sale, my eye got drawn in by their reed diffusers. For any home fragrance lover, a good scented reed diffuser is a nice gift to give and perfect for my friend. The scent description and the reviews were positive and packaging wise this looked very stylish. This reed diffuser was on sale for £3.60 down from £12.00.
I did add three other items to my friend’s gift. But this collection, even without them, I think were really good purchases with my friend and her tastes in mind. And I did this without going crazy money wise. So buying gifts for your nearest and dearest doesn’t have to cost the earth, in fact it can be very affordable if there is a little bit of thought behind it.
