*Christmas*time*

Merry Christmas everyone! It is December, it is cold, but the wind brings lots of Christmas mood. Everyone is looking for presents for themselves or for family and friends!

Best places to do your shopping, in my view, are the following shops:

1. ARGOS – you can order online on the website ARGOS UK or you can go to Trinity Center (which is on Union street just next to PRIMARK) and choose your present. Most of the stuff in there are on reasonable prices. They also have “Hot Deals” which are products on clearance or with a discount. Even if you do not have any idea what you are going to buy, you will definitely find something in the shop!

2. DEBENHAMS – this shop is also in the Trinity Center and I would recommend it because it is mixed and you can pick a present among clothes, accessories, cosmetics, jewellery and perfumes for both women and men. They also have some Christmas discounds on different products. You can find some Christmas packages instead of wondering what exactly to buy and how to match 2 or more stuff together.

3. Boots – Boots can be found on a few places, the 2 biggest shops are in Bon Accord Centre and the other one is on Garthdee road just opposite the 24 hour ASDA. It is mostly about cosmetics and accessories if this is what are you looking for. Expensive brands like L`Oreal and Maybelline have great gift packs at the moment! I already bought one for a friend and I deffinitely like it!

4. Bhs – This is a shop on Union street just opposite to T-mobile, O2 and Vodafone mobile shops. If you are looking for an original and interesting present you can find it in there. My favourites are stuff like ashtray in the form of a car, “Me to You” cosy presents, there also was a small decorative sofa with a bottle of beer standing on it (like a bottle holder) 😀 it is very cute! They have lots of stuff for big and small, for male and female…something for anyone. They have clothes, shoes and accessories as well.

5. Juniper – if you are looking for an expensive, luxury present, this is one of the places you can go! It is on Belmont street on the right-handed side of Priory night club. Jewellery, home decorations and various santimental and keeping your memories (like photo holders) presents are waiting for you to choose them! I already bought from there a small ceremic figure “Mr Perfect” in a very good packaging – an interesting present for a close person. 🙂 I think you will enjoy it!

6. Snapfish – this is an online shop for any photography stuff! You can print photos, make personal cards for any occasion, make a calendar with your own photos, give a collage to your best friend, create a mug for your mum and dad or make an original mousepad for yourself… You can do anything creative you want! I personally use this website for the last year ans I am very pleased with their service and quality! I made a card for Father`s day, I made a birhday card for my best friens, I create an amazing 2012 calendar for my family and so on! It is fun! Try it!

7. Groupon – Groupon is my favourite website for the last few months! (Which is NOT very good cuz I am spending lots of money on it :S ) This website is with dayly deals for different products normaly discounted more than 50%!!! Sounds great, isn`t it! You start buying stuff you never thought you gonna buy because they are too expensive for you…imagine that – I even bought a Laser Hair Removal System! It is such an expensive thing! But with Groupon deals you get it with 75% or even 90% discount! You can deffinitely buy a present from there. Buy a chrismas present for yourself by yourself 🙂

Well, I think these are my winners. You can have a look at the shops, or you may don`t…it is up to you. I wish you lots of patience with buying presents – you will need it! Do not spent too much money! No-one expects from you to buy them the most expensive product on the market…what is the most important is the gesture!

Merry Christmas! Enjoy!
