PRIMARK HAUL & CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE ON A BUDGET 🎁

Hi guys, I hope you're all doing well. Welcome back to my channel. Welcome back to a brand new video. I have a Primark haul today, but there's loads of amazing kind of gift ideas from their gifting section this year within this video. So, if you're yet to check out Primark Gifting for Christmas gift ideas, highly recommend you do. I think this year is by far the best they've ever done. Also kind of standing up, because I have a couple of clothing items to share with you. They also have some amazing party wear, that I've been keeping my eyes peeled for. So, who knows, maybe I need to go back and do some kind of haul, including some of their party wear, maybe for New Year's ideas, New Year's Eve outfit ideas. Anyway, I'm gonna jump into this because I have two huge bags full of things to share with you. I feel like I might as well jump into two items that I've already included within my other gift guides this year, because I don't wanna duplicate content too much. I'm just gonna quickly show you these and then move on with them. So, they have this gifting set for coffee lovers, which I think is great. Tom's already claimed this for his own. He said, yes, please, I'll have that. Basically just a little filter coffee set, which I think is great. Have these hot water bottle gift sets. They have a few different designs. I particularly loved this white waffle set. So, you get the headband, the eye mask, and then the actual hot water bottle itself. Very sort of minimal, like company style, looks expensive, but it's from Primark, so it's a bargain. I've taken the price off these, which is annoying, but if you've seen my other gift guides, I talk about the price of them too in that. Anyway, moving on to the other items now, which I'm yet to share. So, this is interesting. This is 10 pounds and it is a jewelry advent calendar. So, this is how it comes. You can actually see all the pieces that are included. They had a silver and a gold set. You actually take off this plastic cover and put this cover on the front, so it acts as the advent calendar with all the doors and everything. But this, to me, looks very Jo Malone. I know their advent calendars, which are so expensive, look very similar to this. Sort of townhouse style, black and white with a bit of gold, very minimal. And some of the pieces that are included in this are lovely. Oh, I love this. They had some, well, in fact, they had loads of pet gifting as well. So, I bought this at five pounds. It's called My Best Friend Treat Baking Kit, which, in itself, for five pounds to get the baking kit is amazing. But also, the fact that it comes with a little bone-shaped cookie cutter, which you can obviously keep and reuse for homemade treats, is really good. Picked that one up for little Barney Boo. And then, similarly, but for the humans, we have a little sugar cookie baking cone. These ones are only three pounds. And again, they come with the cookie cutter. This one is obviously gingerbread shaped. I also thought this would make a great stocking filler. It is from the homeware section, which the Primark in Manchester, which is the one I went to, they have a city center. The homeware is amazing. I'm always rave about it, but it really, really is. So, they have this sleep oil, which is two pound 50. And you can pop these in essential oil burners, like one that I've got back here somewhere. Could maybe go with this as a gift set. And if you maybe bought a aromatic diffuser as well. So, I've also got these from the home fragrance section at two pounds. It is a tube of the Relax Scented, not re-diffusers, incense. There's just something about Primark hauls that gets so excitable. I think because I get so many bargains, I'm just like, oh, I've got one to share them all with you. Okay, so this one was only two pounds, this next one. For the tea lover, peppermint and fennel tea. They did have different flavors available, but I thought this one would be a good all-rounder. Two pounds, good little stocking filler. I'm gonna pop these in Tom's niece's stockings, or sacks of prezzies that we bought for them this year. And they're from Dairy Milk. They had loads of gifting from Dairy Milk within Primark. They had the Toblerone as well. They had the personalized stations so you can personalize your Toblerone or your Dairy Milk. These are just two of the gift sets that they had, a kind of DIY section of a little Christmas tree and a Christmas cabin, which I think both are adorable. They were originally priced at seven pounds. They've marked them up as four. I think they've changed all the prices on their Dairy Milk gifting, because it was very expensive. Seven pounds, essentially, for a little bit of Dairy Milk chocolate, which I think is quite a lot. So yeah, the fact that they've repriced them to four pounds, I think was a good move on their part. I don't know whether they were priced wrong initially or what, because it seemed a lot, some of the prices that they had for some of the things was definitely too much. I got this one for myself because I always think they're handy to have. Whether or not you customers are stocking filler, I don't know. They're only 80p and they're a pack of replacement diffuser sticks. So for someone who always tends to have re-diffusers in and around the house, these are really good for just switching out and replacing any kind of old diffuser sticks that have been there for a couple of weeks. To refresh them, it does actually make a big difference. They have black ones as well. I have purchased this year from Etsy, it still hasn't arrived yet, so I'm hoping it will do soon, but some green ribbon, some like dark green velvet ribbon. However, in the meantime, I spotted that Primark do three metre rolls for a pound, which I think is even cheaper than what I paid for for Etsy, the Etsy one. So I'm a little bit gutted about that, but the other one's on route, so I didn't want to buy too many. I think this will work really well on brown craft paper. So that's the theme we're going for, mostly brown craft paper with a little bit of green in there too. This set at seven pounds, again for the coffee lover, I thought it looked really nice, so I picked it up to include within this gift guide video. So it includes nine different flavours. We've got French vanilla, hazelnut, Irish cream, salted caramel, latte, gingerbread, pumpkin spice, always a fave, peppermint and butter toffee, which I thought sounded lovely. They had some amazing stationery as well, so I picked up these for the kind of person who likes a bit of mindfulness, a bit of meditation, a bit of manifestation, why not? These journals are so gorgeous, at only three pound, well, this one's three pound, this one's only two pound 50. It's mindfulness one, which is just mindfulness journal, loads of different kind of trackers, habit trackers, exercise, how you're feeling, moods. And then this sleep journal is really interesting. It basically allows you to log your sleep, and especially if you are the sort of person that maybe struggles to sleep, has a bit of insomnia, it allows you to kind of log if you'd maybe had a drink or caffeine, what time you finished caffeine, is to kind of track your sleep pattern to try and figure out what works best for you. I always think it'd be fun to maybe include your dream in there as well. I think dreams are the most interesting thing ever. I dream, I'm gonna say most nights I will wake up and remember a dream. Tom never dreams, he just doesn't remember them. Maybe one a year he might say, oh, I had a dream last night, and I'm like, oh, tell me, tell me, because you never have dreams. Are you a dreamer or are you a sleep solid, never dream kind of person? This to add to my little ceramic house collection that I've got going on, this one's only two pound 50, so I feel like the Primate ones are really affordable. Another foodie, yummy, gifting item from Bailey's that was six pounds, and within here you get obviously a nice, generously sized mug from Bailey's in this gorgeous cream and black, and it comes with a mix of red velvet mug cakes. You actually bake the mug, bake the cake in the mug. Then I also saw this mug cake. This one was a bit cheaper because it's not branded with sort of Bailey's or anything like that. It's just a cute little gingerbread mug. I say little, it's actually quite a big mug. At five pounds, you get a little gingerbread spoon which kind of hooks and sits on the side of your mug, and obviously you can use it to eat your mug cake, because this is yet again another mug cake kit. This one is chocolate flavored, and yes, that one is for myself, from me to me this year. Then I saw this Himalayan salt gift set at six pounds. It comes with a cream and gold-rimmed little dish with a little gold grater as well, and then a little linen bag with a block of Himalayan salt in it, so you can actually grate it yourself, whether you use it as bath salts, whether you use it in the bathroom, or whether you use it in cooking. So six pounds that one was. Oh, I just picked these ones up for myself. At one pound, I needed some gloves. They do these finger, what are they called? Like tablet screen touching ones so you don't have to take your gloves off, and then I also picked up these three pound 50, a pack of two pairs of performance socks. These are just a really good pair of socks for walking in, so you get black and gray in there. For gifting though, they do have some gorgeous kind of gift set for cozy socks, and just a bit nicer than just performance socks for gifting, so I decided to pick up this one. It's a two pack of chenille cozy socks, two pound 50. Some of their cozy socks now, I've noticed shed, so I feel like if you just kind of do this to them when you're buying them, just to check that they don't shed loads of fluff. These ones don't seem to be doing that, so that's why I picked up these two. Nice and wearable colors, two pound 50 they are. Then the last thing within this bag, a gorgeous scarf. Now I loved this because of the thick bits at the bottom, the thick tassels, and obviously the color as well. They did have another color in this. This one was only six pound, this is the ecru color. It's also from the Primark cares range, made using recycled plastic, and I love this. It's so soft, I'm going to the Christmas market soon with some friends, and I just want it to be nice and cozy, so I decided to pick this up as an extra layer if it does get chilly out there. It's just honestly like a blanket around my neck. So cozy, love the color, probably gonna get makeup over it straight away. Next and final bag, let me go get it. It's a big one, so let's whiz through these. Yet to get another item from the pet section at five pounds, they had these Disney dog treats. I tell a lie, it wasn't from the pet section, it was actually from the Disney pet section. So Disney in itself has loads of gifting. They also had the pet section within the Disney gifting. So this is a little cracker with dog treats, bone shaped in the cracker. Loved the wrapping, honestly, that's what sold me. Next up I got a reed diffuser, which I thought would make a lovely festive gift. Look how gorgeous that packaging is. It's definitely a dupe for Rituals packaging, but I love it, so I'm not gonna complain, it's a fraction of the price. This is in the scent cinnamon and clove. Their reed diffusers last up to eight weeks. The actual bottle is like a dark burgundy red as well. I saw someone else talk about this in a Primark haul, and I thought it'd make a lovely gift alongside a bottle of wine if you actually want to get them a gift as well, especially if they're a wine lover. You can get their favorite bottle of wine in a bottle bag, and then also pop this with it as well, which is a wine cooler. Maybe not if they're a red drinker. If they're a white or rosé drinker, you just simply have the stopper and the actual thing that goes within the bottle of wine and just keeps it cool. So it's steel, so I don't think you even need to chill it. But yeah, eight pounds this one was. These smell so good. Scented sachet things that you can pop in gym bags or hang up in wardrobes or in smaller rooms. And they've got three new scents for Christmas. This Christmas Eve one, they're in cinnamon and clove, which matches the reed diffuser I've just shown you. And then winter spice as well with a gorgeous little Christmassy tartan print on. These are two pounds each. This is something that I've seen people going mad over on Instagram. I'm trying to find these in Primark home stores. And at six pounds, they are these glass candlestick holders. You can pop a pillow candle in there. They're a White Company dupe, let's face it. The White Company ones are gorgeous, great for tablescape designs. It just looks beautiful. You can add some really nice scented tea lights in there or pillow candles. And these ones are six pound. They do feel quite cheap, well, not cheap, but really lightweight and almost a bit flimsy. You could easily break it, but they are still glass. Last year, I got from Zara Home a Christmas tree plate, very similar to this. I'm gonna say it, I think I prefer the Primark ones. So I do love my Zara Home one, obviously. I got a cheese board the other day and I used all the kind of star bowls and tree bowls that I've got. So I added this tree plate to my collection. They had a smaller one. This is the big one at eight pounds. I picked up these from the wellness section, just for our bathrooms, at two pounds, a two pack of bamboo body puffs that you get. And they just look nice. They're obviously just a body puff that helps your soap get all foamy. I mean, you know what one of these are. And then I also picked up these candlesticks. Oh, they're upside down. I've just chipped one. Damn it. You see the little chip there? Oh no. Looks like that ticked off. Oh no. The small one is three pound 50. The larger one is only four pounds. So I thought it'd be nice to get the two to stack side by side and you can pop a larger pillow candle on, but it's also got the hole in there. Should you wish to just put one of the sort of church candles in. They do them in black as well. I'd love to say I bought this as a gift for someone, but I've definitely just bought it for myself. It's another one of these blanket hoodies. Snoods, snoodies, what are they called? These call them, I might call them the snoody. In a medium to large, 18 pounds. I got, they didn't have, they have extra small to small or medium to large. So it's the sort of item that you wear as more of a blanket. So they're designed to be huge anyway. So I picked up this gorgeous baby pink one. I loved the color of this. Even though I'm not a typical pink wearer, I just think it's lovely. So I do already have from previous year, dark charcoal gray one, which let's face it, Tom can definitely borrow and share with me because they are huge. But now I can wear my pink one when he wants to wear the gray one. Oh my God, look at it. I mean, fashionista. They've got like a pocket for all your snacks as well. It's so cozy. The hood is massive. This is the sort of thing that I used to do with my gray one. I first got it when we got Barney as a puppy. So all them outdoor toilet trips in January when it was freezing, this was straight on and it's honestly so cozy. We've got like a Disney edition one as well. I just loved the color of this one. What's this? Oh yeah, I forgot I got this. I love it. Love it. I thought it was a blanket or something for some reason then. I got this coat. It's amazing. It's the softest thing I own. It's in a cream. I've got it in a large, which is 14 to 16. It's 40 pounds, which for Primark is a little more premium. But I got one of their coats in my last Primark haul. You might remember from the edit range. You know that new kind of luxe label that they've got. But this is gorgeous. This isn't from the Primark edit. It's literally just the normal Primark range. So 40 pounds is premium, I suppose, for Primark. But it is so cozy. It's so soft. I want it to size up to a large just because I know that this is gonna be a proper winter coat when it's freezing outside and layering up with hoodies and sweatshirts underneath to keep really cozy and warm. This is potentially gonna be a Christmas markets outfit next week. Oh my goodness. Oh, I'm gonna be so cozy. Really good length as well. It's gonna keep me nice and toasty. Honestly. I love winter. I've of course got some PJs to include within my Primark gifting. And also, of course, I bought them for myself. I've got two sets. So firstly this, which is definitely a Christmas set of PJs. Medium, which is 12 to 14. I always tend to size up in my PJs. And this is the top. It's kind of got like a fair isle print in a dusky rose beige kind of color. So that's what the top looks like. And then in the same pattern, print, super soft fabric as well are the bottoms. Look how gorgeous that print is. I love a fair isle print. So 13 pounds for the set, I think is a pretty good price. Then the other set of pajamas that I got are a bit more luxe. These are a satiny luxury kind of finish pajama. These are beautiful. So in a medium to large, the top is 12 pounds. So like I said, far more premium because the other set is only 13, whereas this is 12 just for the top. It's like a satiny shirt, collared shirt with a big dramatic turn up on the sleeve, which kind of adds to that opulence. You know, it's in a champagne gold, very luxury. This is a Christmas Eve pajama, I feel. Wake up on Christmas morning and wear these pajamas. That's what I'm gonna do this year. So the bottoms, I got in a medium to large as well at 12 pounds. Now these ones do actually have a cinch in waist though. So I feel like you can get away with sizing up with these pajamas because you know that you can wear them nice and loose and comfortable. Oh my God, they're huge, as in wide leg. I just love them. They've got piping down the front. Honestly, the detail on these pajamas are incredible. Got piping detail all the way down the front with the really dramatic turn up on the bottom as well. Top at 12, bottoms at 12, 22, 24. Quick maths. 24 pounds for a set of kind of luxury PJs. You can't go wrong with. The last thing I wanted to share with you is a bit of a, I'm gonna say a dupe because it's just a satin shirt, but I was gonna say a dupe for my Zara one that I've literally just featured in a Zara haul. It's a black satin shirt. It doesn't really feel much different and it's a fraction of the price, but I can't send the Zara one back now. This one's only 13 pounds and it's nice and long. To be honest with you, I don't know why I duplicated on another one. Probably more so than anything because I wanted to share it with you guys, but it will come in handy. I feel like I already know I'm gonna wear this shirt loads over the festive period. Black satin is just that added touch of luxury. I might even wear it on Christmas day. Satin shirt with just comfy leggings, my Lululemon leggings. A satin shirt for a little bit of a dressier feel, but still oversized, comfy, relaxed. A bargain at that too. So that is everything that I picked up from Primark. I hope you guys have taken some inspiration on what is in some of their gifting. I kid you not, there's probably 10 times the amount of the gifting I've shared with you in today's video. They have so much to choose from. Definitely by far the best year for gifting in my opinion. And yeah, well worth checking out. That is everything that I picked up recently from Primark. And let me know if you enjoyed this video by giving it a thumbs up, subscribing for more. Let me know which are some of your favorite bits and I hope you have a lovely rest of your day. And I hope to see you all very, very soon in my next video. Bye guys. Bye.
