Five Best *Christmas*: Gifts for Him

Another difficult one…I find it particularly challenging to buy for guys because a. they usually have everything they need and  b. they usually aren’t bothered about having any more ‘stuff’. A lot of things guys get are chucked in the corner of a bedroom, or get used once, and turn into just novelty items if they genuinely can’t use them all the time.

The obvious things to get are clothes, an iPad, or some sort of exercise gear…but here are a few other ideas from me to help you out.

1. Monster Inspiration Headphones with renowned Pure Monster Sound quality. £219.95

2. Johnstons Lambswool Scarf which you can personalise with initials in Selfridges. £25 (+ £5 per letter)

3. Herschel Little America backpack. £90

4. Larsson and Jennings Silver Saxon Watch. £315

5. Fish (Salmon I think!) Leather Cufflinks (each unique) designed by Icelandic designer Marlin Birna. £59

Home Proud: Creative walls

Since I moved in with my boyfriend last year, I've been decorating (well, maybe more re-decorating) the entire place. I've always wanted to have a home of my own and be able to put all the shabby chic things that I find into it.

Our latest project was our master bedroom wall. We wanted to keep it simple but creative so we have been collecting vintage and new frames to mix up and hang on the wall. Due to hectic work schedules and lazy weekends, this still isn't completed but I thought I would share some inspirational images and a great book...

Geraldine James is the buyer for the Selfridge's home department...you can definitely see her style in this creative book. £12.79 on Amazon
