Christmas : DIY, gift ideas, playlist

Christmas time is the time of the year we love so we had to make you a selection of DIYs, gift ideas and lots of other tips for perfect Christmas vibes like we love them!

DIYs decoration

Photo decoration

Because we love to be the star all year long, what could be better than an improvised Christmas photoshoot at home? And for that, here's an idea of photo decor on a small budget that we made ourselves for our shoot (spoiler: it looks great)

Choose a small corner of your room without any big furniture that could get in the way. Get a glittery background or at best shiny curtains (~12€) in the color of your choice to create a sophisticated background. They don't need to be very big, the photo frame will be there to hide the backstage.

Install a carpet for a cozy effect and some wrapped fake gifts. Shop for your favorite christmas dress favorite at Cinelle, get your best makeup and let's go for the photoshoot!

After cropping, the result is beautiful!

Office decoration

If you prefer manual activities, here are 2 tutorials of very simple decoration elements. The first one is an origami tree that can also be used as a table name holder or a garland using a string.

The second DIY is an aesthetic light to be made with only a glass jar, paint and a garland.

Gift wrapping

Because we all struggle to make nice gift wrapping every year, here is a video tutorial to never miss them and impress everyone!

And for the very small objects, here are two very simple ideas to make with a toilet paper roll and gift paper:

Gift ideas

Makeup lover

For your sister/girlfriend who loves makeup, we think we have found the perfect gift. We often think "she already has everything" when it comes to makeup products but does she have a collection of colorful liners? We bet she doesn't have all the colors and yet she would dream of it. This is the opportunity for you to offer her a pack of colored eyeliners for crazy makeup!

Home made box

One of our favorite gifts is the home made box! Get a box (shoe box for example) and fill it with everything the person loves: treats (chocolates, candies, cakes), souvenirs (photos, polaroids), and little extras that will make them happy (fabric masks, skincare, makeup...). Finish by decorating the outside of your box and you're done! 100% customizable and adaptable to all budgets, this box full of goodies is sure to please (at least we would love to receive some...)

Playlist

And to finish, what could be better than a special Christmas playlist to put you in THE christmas mood!
