| love to shop bag via NOT ON THE HIGH STREET |
Even a shopoholic like me can find shopping at this time of year a chore.....the crowds, queues, cold and rain just take away most of the pleasure .....You can't beat shopping in comfort, even in pyjamas, scented candles lit, glass of wine......browsing the internet... finding unusual gifts....
...and here are a few great ideas I found this weekend.....a tea towel perfect for a blogger friend who is never without a camera.....

This cute mug cosy is hand knitted in Ireland using the palest of cream Aran wool...........

| via Etsy |
I like to give gifts that I would like for myself (this is not a hint!) and Neom candles have such a relaxing fragrance.....in a travel case .....perfect after a long flight.....

Charity gifts are always a good idea and every year at Oxfam there are new ways to help communities.......this one will help women to gain business skills and set up a cooperative.......

Now I couldn't write a post on internet shopping without mentioning bobochic, could I? So I've selected just a few products that I'm sure you'll like and which you are unlikely to find on the high street.......

I am not buying online, not shure how is that thing going to look when it finally arrives...And I hate shopping in malls, hate...
ReplyDeleteI like accidental shopping, when I accidentaly find something that I don't need but I like...So stressfree! Ilina
I've always been very happy and satisfied with my online purchases but I do always read the descriptions carefully and good photos help. I also like to support local businesses too.
DeleteYes, online shopping is so much easier this time of year! Love the tea towel, so sweet! xo
ReplyDeleteLike you I love to shop this way! I really must try those candles you mention xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Miss B for the mention on your blog. I love the clutch, scarves and those jewelries from your store. I will check them out. Have you also seen the website of The Magical Christmas Wreath Company? They have fabulous wreaths and candles. Internet shopping is really convenient. I enjoy it too. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation - I haven't heard of that company.
DeleteSuperbes idées.... très classes!!!!
ReplyDeleteJ'aime bien aussi cette façon de faire les cadeaux de Noël sans stress ni bousculades!!!!
Belle semaine et merci pour ce partage d'infos!!!!

these are great selections! I've never tried those candles but I can suggest you yankee candles also,they are great! I loved the pashminas and now going to their link ;) thanx dear :*
ReplyDeleteI so agree!! shopping in PJ's is the answer :))
ReplyDeleteMary x
Im sooooo with you! I ve been NOT shopping for a while but online shopping its such a temptation! nothing beats my couch, pjs and some tea.... LOL!
ReplyDeleteShopping online is the answer no doubt, not only to comfort, but practicality (I've two small boys). We're also trying to shop more local and small businesses this year, so etsy and online boutiques (like yours!) are a very easy solution. Thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteI agree shopping in your pj's should be recommended. Love the tea towel
ReplyDeletecute!
ReplyDeleteI have already started a little on line shopping! It's SO much easier than wandering around the shopping center with all the crowds. Ideas and links.. a wish list is always helpful from family members - nothing worse than buying something that someone doesn't want.
ReplyDeleteThe cashmere pashminas are gorgeous. I have one (not cashmere) that I wear frequently in the winter. So many great ideas here! The towel, the darling mug, and those candles sound lovely.
Have a great week ahead!

miss b, i'm an online shopper too! it's the best way to shop! i can't stand a lot of crowds. for some reason my brain just stops working when there are a lot of people around! hahaha i did not even know you had an online shop!!! where have i been? your items are exquisite. i see you ship world wide and i wanted to send a couple of things to a blogger in Canada. Should I order through the site or send you an email? I'll probably place the order this weekend. Thanks!

So pleased you liked the items I chose to display here. It's probably easier to order through the site. Thanks, Kim.
DeleteI got a mug with a knitted holder last year for Christmas and it was the best gift ever! So great :)

The tea towel with the camera made me smile because it reminds me of myself. My camera is my friend, and I try to always have it with me. What a cool gift this would be. The amber pendant is gorgeous and very unique. These are such wonderful gifts for loved ones.

ReplyDeleteI love, LOVE, LOVE holiday shopping on-line in my "freelance pants". Thanks for stopping by the market, and oh, I sincerely hope you have a chance to visit the Rothschild Villa, it is just amazing. I keep thinking of other things to add!
ReplyDeletebon chance!
I always forget to look at Not on the High Street and they always have something a bit eclectic and a bit more unusual. Some really nice picks and there is something quite relaxing about clicking the buttons at home rather than getting stressed out at the shops. Sometimes, I get a bit click happy even :o)
ReplyDeleteI love scented candles and Neom smell fab! That Aran mug cosy looks so cute:)
ReplyDelete~Anne
these are such great gift ideas! personally i'd love to receive the candles. i love the new additions to your shop as well! and that bag in the first photo is SO me - i am always saying those things to justify my purchases! haha!

ReplyDeleteHi sweet ... I love shopping on line ...

And, of course, your items are so lovely! Wishing you a holiday season that is full of joy! xo ~S

Hey Miss B!! Thanks so much for popping by my blog and saying hello :) Love your space here - that tea towel is Just OH SO CUTE!! Great ideas for Christmas. Cheers from Canada xo
ReplyDeleteThese days shopping on-line is so much easier than going to the shops! And yes, pj shopping, with a cup of tea and a piece of chocolate is just wonderful! x
ReplyDeleteOnline shopping has become my best friend this holiday season, it's easy & places like etsy keep things interesting & fun :DD
ReplyDeletethat tea towel is adorable!!

Wow, I am amazed.
ReplyDeleteAhh yes love Oxfam. That mug is the cutest. Online shopping is a godsend for me since most of my family are vastly dispersed across the globe. I'm excited to for Christmas! xx Madison

it´s great, really love it!
ReplyDeleteI was shopping on line today, too. And, I was also in my PJ's. I bought 2 flying helicopters for my son so that he and my husband can play pilot fighters together. I love shopping on line and hardly ever go to a mall. Love your funny pics.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at those helicopters too - they look like lots of fun for Christmas Day!
DeleteAll these would make great gifts! I'm loving the gorgeous scarves! New follower! :)

Thanks for following.
DeleteI have been doing some online shopping these days too, like Zara and Zara Home, I don't find everything in their shops but on online you have their whole collection, so easy without the crowds. You made a sweet collection here, I like the tea towel the most : )
ReplyDeleteYes! Shopping in pajamas is the absolute best - I am obsessed!! :)
ReplyDeleteI bought most of my christmas gifts online this year, and I'm almost finished, I've been super organised! :) I really like the mug cosy, I usually forget about my hot drinks and then they're cold and I don't drink them! xx
ReplyDeleteAlmost Delightful
Love internet shopping too!

Miss B...just loving your holiday finds and of course the ones from boho chic. My favorites are the pashminas and the amber-tone pendant! I hope you are enjoying the holiday season. If you get a chance, I would love for you to stop by and check out my holiday style and one of my favorite LBDs! Have a great day!

That is exactly the way I like to do my shopping!! and those candles are perfect :) xA
ReplyDeleteI rely on online shopping more and more now. I really don't have the patience to shop in store unless it's a boutique shop or something similar. I simply cannot do malls or large department stores. I LOVE the tea towel - I've sent the link to my husband as a little 'hint hint' xoxox
ReplyDeleteLovely gift ideas! I'd love the candles.

Hi Miss B
ReplyDeleteI like to do a mixture but I know exactly what you mean about crowded places. It gets manic in London at this time of year.
Love your gift choices especially that tea towel.
