It’s already day 5 of our 25 Days till Christmas countdown and this morning’s surprise is simply delicious! It’s that thing that provokes memories, excites the young and old and no matter who you are, we all love some kind of it. What do we have that’s unique and delicious today? Let them eat cake, of course!

Making an edible memory is what every wedding cake or Christmas cake is all about and The Cake Museums cake artist, Ida makes the most beautiful edible packages I’ve ever seen.

All Christmas lunches need to end with a cake, whether it’s full of fruit or oozing chocolate sauce, it doesn’t matter. Cakes are a celebration. Right,on that note, I’m off to ice my Christmas Cake. I’ve tried a new recipe this year and I have just under three weeks to wait until I can taste it. Fingers crossed.

25 Days till Christmas: The Wish List Day 3 unique presents

Ho Ho Ho – the merry countdown is well under way and today I have something that is quirky, sparkly and will please most bling collectors like me. You can wear it to the Christmas doo or on your wedding day. And if you’re like me, you’ll dress up those Levi’s with them too.

If you’re a Links Of London fan, then you’ll know very well how their ‘less is more’ approach to jewellery is what has made them such a popular brand. For me there was always one or two pieces I would fall in love with but they were never my favourite brand. A little to simple, a little too elegant and not enough quirkiness and fun… until now.

They’ve done something pretty spectacular and are now creating pieces that have the ‘want-factor!’; they’re collections have somewhat matured, or is that relaxed, and they’re putting the elegant into quirky in fine fashion!

Like today’s 25 Days till Christmas:  Wish List Want…

Links Of London Dream Catcher Earrings

Teamed with jeans, blouse and funky jumper, or your LBD and for Brides who want elegant but fun sophistication on their wedding day, these stunners would suit it all. I for one and totally miffed that they are already out of stock on the LOL website, but they are promising more stock so keep your eyes peeled girls.

What’s on your Christmas list? Feel free to leave links in the comments below to something that you crave this year.

To catch up with our first few days of my Christmas List, check out the stunning white leather boots (fit for any festive party dress and would make sexy, elegant Bridal winter boots) or my ultimate pressie for this year (Santa hear my plea!) my glass teapot.

Have a super day.

Egg nog is to my Baileys as Thanks Giving is to my Christmas Tree Ritual and so begins the countdown to Christmas day. So what’s the AIW Christmas wish list got in store for you this year? Expect lots of pretty, unique and gorgeously creative things with a few surprises too.

If you missed the kick-of yesterday on Facebook, top on the Christmas wish list this year is something every style conscious, health savvy woman that loooooves nothing more than to take time out over the latest issue of Vogue or Alice magazine would love. Our priority gift this year is for the kind of women that savour their peace and tranquility even in the middle of all the hubbub. This beautiful gift is made from glass but has nothing to do with slippers. It will however be sure to distract you from the confines of your latest mag as you sit and watch the beautiful handmade flowers metamorphose from within.

To see what the 1st of December had in store, check out the Facebook post on Alice yesterday. And if you’re stuck for a wedding pressie for the B&G, trust me, this would make a be-yooodiful one!!

As for today’s Christmas Wish List …

Our second Christmas wish is a fashion statement that would look absolutely stunning under your wedding dress, come winter wedding or not, or dress up whatever fashion you have going on your top half. This boot, from her Jingle All The Way collection is ‘the’ boot that I hope will adorn my feet come the 25th December and keep my toes all snuggly and oozing with style. As is her entire Christmas collection, full of whimsy, quirky and beautifully styled things, the Noelle Boot is, to die for!!!

And for more stunning and quirky Christmas festive party gear from Charlotte Olympia:

Check out Ginger, I love her!!
