The festive season is (almost) upon us, and that means only one thing: it’s time to hit Oxford Street. As a bit of a shopping connoisseur myself (translation: bordering shopaholic), this has to be the most exciting time of year (oh ASOS, how I love thee). Unfortunately, all those Topshop sprees and Paperchase hauls come with a price, and while I maintain that I needed those unicorn slippers (a pressie to me, from me), cutting down costs wouldn’t hurt. So, I’ve gone on the hunt for the best gifts for secret santa that she’ll love for £15 or less, ensuring that your bestie/girlfriend/unspecified relative can have a very merry Christmas indeed. Happy shopping!
