For the love of tea

Being on a tight budget means that I can't splurge on life's little luxuries; the occasional fresh cut flowers, spending an afternoon in a cafe with a lingering tea and snack, or a fun new pair of ballet flats. I can't even walk through my favourite department of John Lewis--home decor--without temptation. Instead I must resort to Pinterest and Polyvore to help daydream of a time when I had a disposable income. I don't know why, but I love buying things for the kitchen. I couldn't help myself the other day while at the thrift store when I spotted a yellow polka dot mug for .50 pence. I didn't need it. But 50 P! and polka DOTS!

Here are some other mugs I fancy:

Stocking Stuffers

In my family the stockings stuffers were what Santa had given you for Christmas and not only did these items include fun little trinkets and toys, but also useful/practical toiletries. As I got older the toiletries and beauty products dominated the stocking for myself as well as my ex-partner, which was fine by us! 
The big presents of Christmas are obviously great, but I find the fun and surprise really comes with the stocking stuffers. Please, never let me be too old for this.

Do you love stocking stuffers as much as I do? Here are some suggestions for him and for her this holiday gift giving season.
