I was mega excited when I received an email from Moneysupermarket offering me a chance to take part in their Secret Santa Challenge! The idea is that they gave £25 to bloggers to then go and buy a Secret Santa present for a fellow blogger. They assigned us each a secret santa partner within the same blog niche, and then we were free to spend!
I was partnered with Gemma Louise from Champagne Lifestyle, Student Budget, a politics student from Belfast. Gemma Louise runs a fashion and beauty blog which aims to inspire people on any budget, and encourage culture throughout Northern Ireland. She’s just celebrated her 21st birthday too.. so Happy Birthday Gemma Louise!
I guess this isn’t a typical Secret Santa, as usually you don’t find out who’s buying for you. But none the less I am very excited to receive my parcel from Gemma Louise! I’ve already been out and bought all her pressies and wrapped them up at the weekend! I can’t show you what I bought her (that would spoilt it!) but I hope she loves them! I tried to keep the gifts small in size so they’re easily posted and keeps postage costs down!

I don’t want to give too much away about her presents, but lets just say I used some of the following photos from her blog for some inspiration! She’s a very glam girl! I did find it a little difficult finding her pressies, as she hasn’t listed the things she loves on her blog bio (unlike me who shares too much haha!). But after scrolling through a few pages of her blog, I hope that I have managed to find out enough about her that she will like her gifts! 🙂
Is anyone else doing this challenge, or any secret Santa?
what a nice challenge to take part in. Am sure she'll love it! Shall we take a guess? Bet it's something pretty and pink 🙂
This is such a cool idea! I love Secret Santa 🙂
