Last minute present ideas

If you're like me and tend to leave all your Christmas shopping until the last minute to avoid the jam-packed shopping centres and angry shoppers, then I have 4 brilliant present ideas that you can order from the comfort of your own home.

For the beauty enthusiast

When your friend/sister/girlfriend or whoever is a massive cosmetics hoarder, it can be harder than you think to buy them a gift than you think. You can go for the obvious choice, makeup! But you then have to think; do they already have this product? What shade shall I buy it in? Will this break them out? And it becomes more hassle than it's worth. I have found an alternative present however, that I guarantee anyone who likes makeup will appreciate. The Bobbi Brown Makeup Guide £18.99. This book contains everything you need to know and is a lovely gift within most peoples price range.

For the student

So if you have that friend who lives in uni halls and lives off beans on toast- then I'm sure they would love this cookbook from ASOS. The really hungry student cookbook is just £9.99 and would make the perfect edition to any students book shelf this year.

For the creative friend

I found this book on ASOS as well for £12.99 and it is the Tatty Divine how to make jewellery book. It includes how to master the basic techniques of jewellery making, as well as step by step guides to creating beautiful handmade necklaces. This would be the perfect gift for a quirky friend, and next Christmas you can expect some crafty earrings from them ;)

For the musical one

Urban Outfitters have an incredible range of over 200 books covering every topic from Ryan Gosling to hot guys holding puppies so definitely check out their website if you're looking for a great gift. One of the best I found was the 1001 songs to listen to before you die for £20. Although it is a little more on the pricey side for a book, I think this would provide anyone with countless hours of entertainment and new music discovery.
