Christmas Gift Ideas

Christmas shopping is in full swing. The stores in London are decked in holly and tinsel. The street decorations are up and the fairy lights are twinkling in the dusk.

Gift shopping can sometimes feel like running a marathon. We need to be well prepared, well organised and have the stamina to enjoy the festive season. I am nearly there. I have already purchased most of my gifts for family and friends. I still have a few to go.

If you are still in the race I have put together some ideas that may inspire you.

I love to buy gifts for the “little people” in my life. My three small grandsons. They like games and puzzles and the latest craze this year “BOTS”. Don’t ask me exactly what these Bots do. I will find out on Christmas day.

Chicatanyage

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.
