It was only the other day that my Mum and I were reminiscing about when QVC first launched. We didn’t have cable TV at the time and were fascinated when we first saw it on the screen at a family friend’s house. It was one of those channels that we would just watch and wonder at- who knew all those things for sale actually existed, and how could be possibly live without them? Fast forward to the present day and it’s a channel and we rarely think of except in a fit of nostalgia. I was delighted to discover that they do still exist online (and probably on TV as well, can anyone confirm?) and took great pleasure in having a look through the website to conjure up a post with some lovely little ideas for the season of giving.

These are the sort of gifts I’d be buying for my Mum if I hadn’t already done my Christmas shopping. They’d also be perfect for gifting to your favourite Aunt or your BFF and none of them will break the bank.

First up for the traveller in your life is this abstract luggage tag by Lulu Guiness, £26.00. I think this would make a chic addition to any suitcase or weekend bag- I’m very tempted to ask Santa for one myself!

You know I can’t resist a bit of sparkle and often find myself buying jewellery as gifts for those I care about the most. QVC has such a huge collection, the pieces I’ve featured above are only the tip of the iceberg. I’m really taken with the necklace by Miss Lola which costs a bargain £11.42 and this sparkler of a ring from Diamonique (£25) which is just perfect for jazzing up any outfit, not just for the Christmas period.

What are your memories of QVC? Have you spied anything you’d like to find underneath your Christmas Tree? This Tarte blusher is top of my list- I’m super excited to finally see the brand available to buy in the UK!
