7 perfect christmas gifts for Shoe lovers 

(that aren't shoes)

I love christmas and the best part about it (for me) is the giving. I try to make them thoughtful gifts even if they are stocking fillers so that they won't just end up in the back of a wardrobe or draw somewhere in the house only to be found 6 months later with no use. So I've decided to put a list together of the perfect gifts for the shoe lover in your life that aren't shoes! (hhhmmmm maybe one pair of shoes - after all they are shoe lovers!) 

Shoe Calendar £10.99

For the organised shoe lover - this is perfect! I love this, every day greets you with a new shoe thats just as creative as the last.

I Can Make Shoes Ballet Pump Kit £39.95

For the creative shoe lover - if making is their thing they will absolutely adore this present. It comes with everything you need to make a pair of ballet pumps. OR grab the high heel kit to make your very own pair of high heels.

Match a Pair of Shoes - Memory Game £12.95

This has got boxing day written all over it. For the lazy day when serious card games just won't cut it and only your grandparents are the only ones awake to play with you.

Manolo Blahnik - New Shoes £21.21

These type of books are always a well received gift, I'm a firm believer in knowledge is power even if it's in picture form!

Heelusions $24 (UK delivery now available)

Perfect little stocking fillers, I was lucky enough to be gifted with some of these in the summer and they completely transformed the look of my shoes practically making them a whole new shoe! (read the blog post here)

Cleo B Accessories £49

This was one of my very first posts on the blog, and I'm still completely in love with them, the new arrivals are gorgeous and perfect for the festive season.

V&A Pleasure and Pain exhibition Tickets £12

'Milan' - £14.99

'Las Vegas' - £16.99

'Dubai' - 18.99

The best kind of package arrived at my door last week - a package with 3 pairs of cute ballet pumps from Sinderella (thank you so much Sinderella!). As you know I'm always on the look out for new brands - Sinderella launched this year  to bridge the gap between super pricey shoes and comfort. They couldn't have come at a better time, the temperamental London weather we've had the last few weeks makes it difficult to decide on footwear; sneakers or sandals?!? is always my first question when I get ready every morning. Ballet pumps offer you a perfect alternative, they keep your feet dry from the spells of rain but still keep you stylish for the summer. The Sinderella ballet pumps are super comfy and come with their own little bag so you can fold up the pumps and pop them into your handbag. Now its no secret that ladies like to change from their work shoes to cute ballet pumps for their commute and why not do it in comfort all for the bargain price of £14.99!! yes you read that right, there are 8 styles of ballet pumps available, where the priciest pair is only 22.99 - which in my books is great value for money. I have teamed my Sinderella ballet pumps up with skinny jeans. I just love them - I'm actually looking forward to my daily commute just so I can wear my new pumps!

Acrylic X Perspex X Jelly

However you like to call them - I call them plastic shoes, have taken the world by storm and won't be leaving your wardrobes any time soon. So with this in mind I thought I'd bring to your attention the mother of all shoes plastic - Melissa. You'll probably be thinking who? but you're most likely to think 'ohhhhhhhh' when I tell you that these shoe makers were the ones  behind the  collaboration with Vivienne Westwood in 2008 with her infamous rubber slingback and ballet pumps.  A Brasilian brand that has expanded world wide and that are set to have another great season since the heavily featured acrylics, bondage and perspex  in footwear and accessories in the February shows. They land some great collaborations and their campaigns are bright and fun. They have a great eye for knowing whats on trend and also seem to get away with using matt appearing rubber surfaces to create that extra edge. Go check them out while you can there are some great offers on at the moment that would be silly to miss!

Ladies I know you will appreciate this post. Now I've always been a heels type of woman, but of late, ballet pumps have been slowly creeping into my shoedrobe just for the comfort factor. When I used to work in the city I hated the fact that my shoes would take up most of the room in my bag, in fact I just hated having to carry extra things that I didn't actually need! Butterfly Twists aim to alleviate just that, by designing these new revolutionary flat pumps that roll up to avoid taking up that much needed extra space in that handbag of yours! Ive picked out my favourite styles, but I would definitely suggest checking out the website to see what other styles they have available to! Go on - have a scroll!
