Christmas is just around the corner and that can only mean one thing. Santa is coming! Does anyone else play secret santa? I love it. We play it at work. There are so many versions you can play and not just with your office, but with friends, blogger pals and even family. To get you started, we are running 3 fab giveaways courtesy of Millie’s Beach Huts, Daydreams and Ice Creams and Sand and Seagulls. You won’t want to miss it – pop to each category to enter! But before you go, here are some of my favourite Secret Santa gift ideas for bloggers (hint, hint! … yes I did just go any say that, didn’t I).
This is perfect if you (Ahem.. I mean, the blogger you are buying for) wants a diary that’s solely for managing and recording everything to do with their blog! It’s so difficult to find the right type of format for recording stuff like this, but this one looks like a winner.
I think these catchy slogans are perfect to have around, especially for a blogger who loves to to get their sparkle on.
And breathe. There’s something extra special about the beach. For me it’s our special place to chill out and enjoy time as a family. This is a perfect reminder to all those busy body bloggers to take a break every once in awhile.
I’m really excited to be teaming up with Sand and Seagulls to #giveaway one of these gorgeous Beach Hut Dream Hangers! Enter below to #win. Good luck.
Because every blogger needs one of these don’t they 🙂
Bloggers spend a lot of time capturing moments, so why not treat someone special to a personalised family portrait. A gorgeous alternative to a photo capture! I’ve got my eye on one of these for myself and LOVE how these can be brilliantly customised to include anything from family pets to interests. Perfect for a family blogger. And, we’ve only gone and teamed up with Daydreams and Ice Creams (who also design blog headers!) to giveaway a stunning digital personalised family portrait with up to 6 characters. Ekk! Enter below.
I’m really excited about getting my own hands on a copy of this book by the super inspirational Vicky from Honest Mum. Perfect for the mumtrepreneur.
I actually have this one myself and it’s a brilliant all-rounder for planning everything from school trips to scheduling blog posts. Get this for the blogger who likes to keep everything organised in one place.
Love, love LOVE these cute as a button Christmas jumpers. They are different, quirky and way more special than the usual off the rails ones. Get these for the photo-ready blogger family to wear on Christmas day.
Every blogger needs their own little hideaway to get their blog-on. Well, how about borrowing one of these gorgeous beauties for the day! The ultimate bloggers retreat by the sea. Think sandy toes, fish and chips and a whole bucket of inspiration. Millie’s Beach Huts are my own personal favourite beach huts to visit and are dotted around the Essex coastline. We’ve teamed up with Vicky from Millie’s Beach Huts to give one lucky winner a Millie’s Beach Huts gift voucher for the value of £50 which can be used to hire a beach hut during off-peak or peak season! Excited? YES! Enter below.
And for the blogaholic? How about splurging on one of Aby’s blogging courses. They are perfect for anyone who wants to take their blog to the next level.
Wishing you all a very Merry and Jingle-filled Christmas!

I really need that bloggers journal in my life, so cute and practical at the same time X #dreamteam
It’s really cute. I was back in Paperchase the other day and noticed it is more of a proper journal rather than a diary (though you could use it as one). I wonder if anywhere does a combination of the journal and diary specifically for bloggers x
Oh fab gift ideas! I’ve asked for a Stigu planner! #dreamteam
Stigu is brilliant!
What a fantastic list!! I’d love all of these! #DreamTeam
Thanks Chloe, hopefully Santa will bring you something blogtastic 😉

This is an amazing give away! Great gift ideas to, is there anything better than a new frsh note pad? I have a bit of an addiction haha #DreamTeam
