Gifting Ideas
Hi guys, Jessie of Jessie Bakes here giving you guys a Christmas gift guide. I start feeling festive as soon as the leaves start to change colour so by the time December actually arrives I'm normally beside myself. I've loved adopting lovely traditions with my young family and pride myself on being able to put together a fabulous Christmas hamper or two!
My Christmas gifts are normally a mixture of home-made items, delicious things to eat and for my remaining gifts I love to 'shop small', rooting out really amazing small brands and businesses. So I hope my Christmas gift run down serves a spot of inspiration for you all in the run up to Christmas!

Bake your own gifts!
 | So in terms of home-made items; I always make a batch of Festive Chutney to accompany the inevitable cheese consumption during the holiday season. I love making cranberry and spiced variations - they can be really great present options - and I always have a few spare jars to give people that visit the house (or people I accidentally forget to shop for)! Other ideas that are really easy to bake and make include biscuits, peppermint creams and of course Christmas cakes. I love making mini Christmas cakes for everyone. |
 | Dip them in chocolate, wrap them in gold stars or throw in some red confetti - Christmas is the best time to get creative with everything from bakes to wrapping. Just have fun with it! Pinterest is a great source of wrapping inspo so get creating your mood board today. |
I'm completely sorted for decorative ideas this year with my stash of Cake Angels supplies. Their range is so lovely and takes the stress out of cake decorating, and they've even given me a promo code to share with you! Use code ARCHANGEL-JESSIE20 for 20% off the whole Cake Angel range - enjoy a Christmas treat.

Snowman Hot Chocolate Kit
I love making my own gifts, I think it makes it that bit more special when you’ve really thought about it and made something yourself. At this time of year what is better than coming home from a long day at work, sticking the kettle on curling up on the sofa and watching TV with a big old mug of hot chocolate?! (nothing right?). What’s even better than that? Snowman themed hot chocolate with extra sprinkles.

Grab yourself 3 Kilner jars, or washed out jam jars, whatever you have to hand. Fill the bottom one with some sprinkles, or something yummy to top the Cake Angels Chocolate frosting on the hot chocolate (there's no such thing as chocolate overload!). I recommend Cake Angels Zillionaire Sprinkles to give it a delicious salted caramel fudge-y taste! Or, for a more colourful hot chocolate treat, why not go for the Rainbow Sprinkles?

In the middle jar, fill with your hot chocolate powder of choice. If you’re going to go for the fudge sprinkles why not go for a fudge or caramel flavoured powder too? And finally in the top jar, fill with some mini Cake Angels White Mini Marshmallows which aren't only incredibly yummy, but looks so cute and snowy too. Then, simply decorate your jar to look like a snowman. Layer the jars on top of each other to create his body, add a ribbon scarf and stick on a face with paper or googly eyes. You can even give him a hat if you want to! I think this is such a cute gift idea and perfect for all age groups... after all, who can resist a hot choc at Christmas?

iPhone Cases
iPhone cases are such a fab gift idea; everyone loves having lots of different cases to put on their phone it’s almost like changing your outfit, and there are SO many cute ones available now. I love having a glittery one on for this time of year. When I think Christmas I think sparkles and the sparklier the better! You can also get cases printed with photos on which I think is such a lovely personal touch. If you want to design your own phone case on CaseApp then you can use the code 20WHATEVIEDID for 20% off!
I know Cake Angels are huge fans of all things magical so this unicorn case would go down a treat at their HQ! There's also a galaxy vibe with this rocket phone case, just in time for the launch of Cake Angels' new Intergalactic sprinkles (available at Tesco!) which I LOVE.

| Instax Mini If you want to splash out a bit more, then why not treat someone to an Instax mini Polaroid camera?! These are so cute, perfect for capturing memories and so special having the actual photo printed rather than it just being on your phone! These come in such gorgeous colours and look so cute themselves in photos! It’s not the type of thing that you’d probably splash out on yourself so it’d be a perfect gift for someone for Christmas! I also heard on the Archangel grapevine that Cake Angels are doing a Christmas giveaway featuring this little beauty so be sure to keep your eyes peeled on their Instagram, over at @CakeAngelsUK! |  |
About Evie
Hello! My name is Evie, I am a UK based beauty, fashion and lifestyle blogger over on WhatEvieDid. I love all things clothes, make up and baking! I love how creative you can be with baking, both with the recipes and the decorations. It can be so much fun and something you can really enjoy with friends and family or a hobby to do alone.
If I am going to be baking then I want to go all out, I love all things sprinkles, decorations and bright colours and Cake Angels has the most incredible selection of baking goodies, you’ll never want to make a plain cupcake again. What’s great about baking and decorating is that you don’t have to be particularly good at it, you can just have fun. You can choose whether you want to cover your bakes in icing and a load of sprinkles, or go all out and make something more elaborate but either way they’ll look and taste fab!

This is for all our angels that enjoy being a little extra, so lets make it official. Keep checking in with Cake Angels to make sure you’re bossing the baking game and be the first to hear about everything Archangels (after all, no one wants FOMO).
