So only 5 days till Christmas and I have barely done any shopping. I do have a list though and that’s the hardest part right? I thought I would share said list with you in case you're stuck for ideas. I have also included my wishlist (beats leaving highlighted magazine tears around the house).
As well as the obligatory socks and underpants J’s list looks like this. There’s not a cufflink in sight!
Who doesn't love chocolate, particularly when the packaging looks like this.
In terms of footwear J is stuck in the 90's, but thankfully this means trainers as opposed to chunky white loafers. A new pair of Cortez will foot (boom, boom) the bill.
A Scottish-made special-festive-edition gin. We’ll have a few while wrapping the little Kitt's presents!
J's holiday murse is legendary but I feel its time he swaps it for this infintely more stylish Smythson currency case.
On the rare chance J is able to exercise he prefers to swim. However he often finds it monotonous, underwater headphones may be a good way to alleviate the boredom. These are a good budget option.
I always pick up something from the Kiehl's men's section at Christmas plus they tend to run promotions in the lead up.

For the Little Kitts
I’m trying to reign in Christmas spending while the kids are young and I can get away with it. However as well as some reading books, Santa is bringing the below...
I snapped these super-fun slippers up during H&M’s black Friday event.
LittleKitt1 is obsessed with dinosaurs and scooting & he's been wanting a scootaheadz for a while now.
PJ masks and Owlette are very popular in our house so some overpriced plastic will be purchased.
Although Baby Kitt doesn't need anything, we have to get him something. I thought I would see just how good the Grimms rainbow actually is..
Lidl had some fantastic wooden toys last year so I will be hitting them up again.
The Little Kitt Mr Coco harems are the perfect red for the festive season. But remember Mr Coco is for life and not just Christmas!

For Her
Dear family, I hope you are ready this….
These days I often find I get myself dressed last and am running around sorting breakfast, dressing the kids & checking bags in an old t-shirt. To spare my neighbours and keep warm, I need a dressing gown and I love the simplicity of this one.
We leave our bedroom door open with the hall light left on (just in case monsters attack), so I'm hoping a eye mask will improve my sleep. Unlikely, but one can dream!
I am a trainer fiend and love an unusual pair. These special-edition Converse, with dots and hearts, couldn’t be more to my liking.
One of the best things about mobiles is their cases and my current Stella McCartney one is looking a bit worse for wear. I need this new one now.

Who doesn’t love stationery and organisation? This large bulldog clip should keep my desk a little tidier and its covered in glitter!
Finally if we win the Christmas lotto I want to add some Kristjana S Williams artwork to my map collection.
