Blogmas day 13- giving gift cards is it lazy ?

I received my first christmas present on Sunday and i know its bad but i opened it (i already knew what it was and wanted to spend it).

As you may have guessed it was a gift card. It was a one for all card like the one above but mine had a polar bear on.. These type of gift cards are the ones i like the most as your not limited to one store. I think giving gift cards if you dont know the person well is a good idea as no one wants to be stuck with something they didn't ask for or like and there is  always that horror if you do re-gift that you may forget who gave it you the first place and it ends up back to the original person. 

I used mine to purchase some things on boots (: 

I do think if you know the person really well then a gift card is a lazy present unless they have specifically asked for one.

Im one of the few that really likes gift cards as if people just give me money im like yeah i know excatly what im going to spend that on and then one day i forget my lunch for work and it ends up going on a meal deal and some very naughty dairy free treats and not the mascara that i really wanted. 

At the end of the day it is personal choice i really like them but obviously wouldn't want gift cards for every present as you'd know what you'd be getting and that would be no fun. 

What does everyone else think let me know

Pumpkin Drawing/carving

Hey everyone (:

So i thought this post was apt seeing as its almost Halloween. As a rule i dont do anything for Halloween dont get me wrong i will open the door for about a hour for the trick or treaters but i dont decorate the house or normally buy pumpkins but this year is different. My brother wanted to have a go at carving a pumpkin now this may shock a few people but we have never carved a pumpkin or had pumpkins in the house no idea why just happened that way lol. My brother carved his but wont let me put it in my blog for some reason but seeing as im so clumsy i thought it was wise not to try carving and inevitably cutting myself so i sketched a design out on my pumpkin and when i say sketched i mean i typed in to google no carve pumpkin designs and picked the easiest one i could find as im awful at art but i think it turned out ok il insert some pictures now and you can see for yourselves (: 

I hope you all have a happy Halloween (:

The best find in B+M

B+M is a cheap shop in the UK and its very hit and miss. Sometimes you can find loads of stuff and come out £50 lighter or you come out with just a drink - That maybe just the B+M where i live or it might be the same where you live let me know in the comments (:

If you go in to B+M i think you learn to not get your hopes up that it will be a successful shopping trip. This time it was a good shopping trip i wont say successful due to the fact i only came out with a few things but this is the best find ever can you tell what it is ?

                                                                                                                                                                     It looks like it comes from bath and body works doesn't it ?? yet unfortunately we don't have even one shop over here I'm sure that must be a crime :o .

This candle smells like cinnamon grahams its amazing and i cant get over how similar it looks to bath and body works candles and it was a fraction of the price.

It was only £2.99 which I'm sure we can agree is a lot better then $22 i think they are which equates to roughly £16 here i think.

If you get the chance i strongly advise going to check them out if you can find them (:
