Hello and welcome to another regular weekly post, where I share some Shopping Ideas. So in this post I am sharing some Hot Deals Christmas 2020.
The first lot of deals I want to share is from an online shopping site called Wish. There is an APP available to this store, which can be downloaded from Playstore, and has a lot of brilliant products, from homewares to fashion, and once you shop on this site it can be addictive.
Here are a few of their offers:
https://www.wish.com/feed/holiday_gifts__tab
They have items that are free, yes you heard it, but you still have to pay the delivery charge but no price on the product.
Here are some Wine Tops, and yep they are free. There are two colours available, grey or red.
Now some items can be shipped to a local store, or be delivered. Once you select a colour and then you press on the orange button on screen to claim that item is then yours.
Never buy items via Paypal as it was known to be the safest way, but it is not.
You can create a wish list, which I have done, and great to go back to and purchase those items. They do a Deal a Day offer, or Bonus offer, which you get as you keep purchasing from this site and if you review an item bought you can get some good offers by doing this too.
There is also items for those kiddies in your family, like above this Green Felt Tree, where your young toddlers and babies, can decorate and have a lot of fun with, this is priced at £8.20.There is also some lovely Jewellry and logo T-Shirts for children and adults too.
***
Now I want to go over to Amazon, who I have teamed up to show you their goods on offer this year, and they have some last minute Christmas Deals from the 7th December 2020 (today) to the 23rd December 2020.
I have shown in various Youtube videos, of fashion and books, but they also do Food and Drink.
I love Toblerone, and they have this huge box with the different bars they do, and this one is priced at, £8.18.
They also do Christmas Hampers, and here is this one, which has a chocolate cake, Ginger Thin crackers, a box of lovely breakfast Teabags, Walkers chocolate and chocolate wafer rounds. This is priced at £40.
They also do Limited Time Deals and have alcohol, and here is one for their Cognac priced at, £29.99
There are also personalised gifts, from Wine Bottle Toppers to gift cards.
You can create your own story book for your kids, and if you go Prime you can get free next day delivery on some items.
Here are some photo canvases you can get which cost, £19.99.
Be careful about buying digital and Smart devices as they can often be refurbished and not brand new, sold by a sole ocupier, so they aren’t covered by any warranty. Second hand good like these are never covered under warranty.
***
Groupon also have some great offers this time of year, and I used Groupon to take Henry on an open top bus ride to see the Christmas Lights in London.
Check out these offers below:

Hello and Welcome! Boy could I do with some Retail Therapy today as I actually slept a whole day without realising it, and it has been a very hard day and I have only been awake for 3 hours, and I just want to get through this year now, and be rid of it, because I have never cried so much in my life.
I want to keep my blog posts real and still want to share my Amazon Fashion Look Book Haul today as I do think it helps distract me from what is going on around me and is a great way to switch off and write about one thing I love, and that is fashion.
Amazon is great value for all fashion now, and whilst I am creating this blog and listening to music, The Greatest Love Of All, Whitney Houston, I want to say that no matter how difficult family life can be at times, when the chips hit the fan you know who are your real family and friends are, because they will either stay or go, and will put a knife in your back, whilst there are those who genuinely love you.
If you have the cash to splurge then looking over this year, I have learned that the value of money doesn’t come into it, and do whatever makes you happy. So have that splurge and enjoy.
I know I wrote in my posts that you should set a budget and a list, but going on today sometimes you just have to say Fuck it I will buy that coat or jacket and treat yourself no matter what the budget is.
Check out this Review on the tights I purchased from Amazon, which I totally recommend:
Please check out my new Video showing some more fashion items from Amazon this Christmas 2020:
There will be more coming soon.

Ok so I know, that this is cheating, but I do believe in convenience and yes as an old friend I knew at Sitel would say “I am keeping it real”, yes thank you, you know who you are and yes it is the best way, and for the record I am not sending you up, I miss you loads and you were spot on and yes, there were some that weren’t in that place, but loved it there because when I worked in the Email and chat team, they were so funny and made me laugh sometimes from when I got in to when I left.
Anyway, I know I have detoured, so getting back to meal ideas. You can see that I will not be bringing out a cook book any time soon, even though I did have this ambition in mind one day, but I am not confident in cooking, I have got it wrong and like many felt like a failure when I have, and defeated.
However there are many different ways to make a curry, but if you do want to buy a microwave ready meal then Sainsbury’s do a good range and just had one from Tescos, which was Buttered Chicken and wasn’t bad.
I would love to cook a curry from scratch, as it is one of my favourite meals and loved it when I would have a Curry on a Sunday, and the Wetherspoon pubs used to do, a Curry Thursday and they are lovely too.
At the moment Tescos are doing a deal where you can get 3 ready meals priced at £2.50, for £6, which is a good deal.
If you want to use the jar of Curry Sauce then you can with diced chicken which I have done and my mother did, and would make out it was gourmet meal.
“Look at me Gordan Ramsey taste my curry”, and I bet he would say, “Yeah thanks you’ve just damaged my taste buds” as someone who was not my best friend would say. There are ones that can be nice out of the jar, like Lloyd Grossman’s and, the Tins like Sainsbury’s Chip Shop Chicken Curry.
My shop this week cost me with snacks included, £7.60.
So would I say to buy ready meals all of the time, no, but when there is a deal on them and you don’t feel like cooking then I am all for it.

Hello and good afternoon! Some of us slept in today as I was up until early hours and it is dark outside.
I do like this time of year, staying in the warm with a nice cup of tea, listening to music and working.
This Christmas at Amazon there are a load of stocking fillers and more, and here are some I have chosen for you, this year Christmas 2020:
Gifts don’t have to be the normal ones you buy, but little items like a portable cup that they can take to work or like I do, now I working from home a lot, to the local park whilst reading a book. Who does not like a steaming cup of coffee or a hot chocolate when the weather begins to get colder.
Please check out my Pinterest board of Christmas shopping 2020 at Amazon:
If you can get yourself an Amazon card and would like to create an Amazon Prepaid card if we can do it, to help you with purchases and earn points as you do so using such a card.
I have an Amazon Credit card and it has been a Godsend.
There will be more coming as we draw nearer to the festive season.
Many thanks for reading,

P.S: Please check out my Just Giving page, to donate towards my fundraiser this year for Tommy’s, who support and raise awareness of Stillbirths and Premature births:
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/theparentingadventuresprematurebirths
If you haven’t seen my other posts on this site, then check them out below:
This time of year can be expensive and have two more birthdays to think about as we lead up to Christmas.
WOULD AN EMPTY BOX DO!
What I tend, as talked about before, is I do a budget for each person and then have an idea of what they would like to get for birthdays and Christmas.
Christmas is going to be different this year, with lockdown and many shops being closed, so looks like Online Shopping is gonna be the theme this year.
What I tend to do is look all round an online shop and see what offers there are and see if they have a clearance sale. Stores like ASOS, Amazon and Very do, and you can get some really good clothes in these sections, of many online shops.
I do save my change and it has been a life saver, and I would encourage everyone to do that as, Rob Brydon says, “Every bit goes a long way”.
There are cashback sites too, but be aware some charge a fee, to use their services. Yet my bank Halifax do a cashback scheme too. Never used it as it on how much you have actually spent, which is told to you.
The best one is Top Cashback, which Martin Lewis who owns the site Money Expert.com recommends.
Be aware of scams, as this time of year they will crop up. Take no notice of any emails saying they are from HMRC and you are owned a refund or rebate. Complete nonsense. They would never send an email, but will be a written letter in the post.
I am going to add an Amazon video below of some gift sets available from Amazon this Christmas and other items that would bee great as gifts too. However, still do your maths, as they can be cheaper online or in store. It all depends on the product, and time of year.
There is a whole week sale on Amazon, as it is Black Friday week, finishes on the 30th November at midnight:
So more to come next week, and have a wondeful weekend, and my Tea and Biscuits post will be up tomorrow morning too.

More of my posts:
This week I am talking about changes in life and getting rid of the things that no longer spark joy.
Yes Kon Marie, this is dedicated to you, as I see what you set out to achieve. This was to help people to gain a spark in their life again and that inspires me no end.
This does include getting rid of friends too. If they make you feel self conscious by trying to put you down in front of people, who nit pick and slag you off behind your back, just get rid and let them stay in their unkind mess.
I am so done with that, like you would not believe. I can not believe the amount of shit I have had to deal with this year, and I bet they do feel smug about it.
I have written a post on my fictional blog The West London Girl, which hits on about this kind of thing, for those who pretend to be there for you, when they are not (check it out below):
I don’t mind people not liking me, as you can not please everyone. It the case of “Like it or lump it”, and let them decide if they want to be a good friend or not, but make it clear,
“If you like me great then be it, if not get the fuck away if not”. I find when people do this, it is time wasting and they are just using you, to get a kick out of their lives and it is really about their own insecurities not yours, and have no benefit to people, so I leave them where I found them and continue on growing myself and learning from people like these.
I see my friends as family. I always have, even when we don’t see each other that much, I just like those like me, like to hang out, chat, have a laugh and look forward to seeing all of them time.
With materialistic things, I go by how it makes me feel and if I feel like it is going to depress me, I get rid of it. The same as friendship. It is the best way. Example if I see a picture of people that I know are not nice, I don’t give it the time of day.
If there are people always on at you, then they must like you, as to keep picking on someone who means not harm to them, I must be dong something right for them to do so.
Nevertheless, it can take its toll and they do mean for you to cry and in my changes of life I did almost become the worse version of myself but I grew out o it, moved on and now am doing the thing I love out of this world, being in love again with a wonderful man, writing professionally and creating new books and songs.
I do write this kind of blog on my site: Everyone Can Build a Castle, but wanted to share this on this site, as my everyday living is, facing challenges aswell as fashion, beauty, skincare and shopping tips and advice. Please see the video I created below:
So if there is something in your everyday life that is bringing you down, then it is time for change and for something new.

P.S: Please see more of my posts I have recently written on this site if you have yet done so.
Summer Versatile Fashion For a Music concert or festival
I love buying new clothes this time of year, and I have bought some lovely items from TU items from Sainsbury’s, TK Maxx and Amazon.
The one item I love is a good collection of jumpers for the Autumn and Winter, and I don’t do plain clothes often, as they have to have a logo on it, patterned or have sparkles on on them.
YES THAT’S THE KIND OF GIRL I AM!
However these jumpers above are lovely to wear and I have bought two of these in different colours. I have created two videos sharing the items I have bought, from Amazon and so check these out, AND BE ADDING MORE:
https://carriesversitilefashion.wordpress.com/2020/11/26/amazon-look-book-haul-2/
https://carriesversitilefashion.wordpress.com/2020/11/19/amazon-look-book-haul/
I have purchased a Grey and Black Be Kind jumper, a Black one from TK Maxx, and other sweaters too, which are easy to wear and are great for those cosy winter days.
What you should do to help make sure you add to your Winter and Autumn Wardrobe, rather than buying an item that doesn’t go with any of your clothes, is to see what Autumn and Winter fashion you already have, create a few outfits and then take a note of what you would like to include and buy.
Develop a vision board or a folder that I have created, which I am going to show again one day. It’s in my old home Epsom, but I love putting this folder together and looking through it as it does give me a loads of inspiration.
Check out my Pinterest Pins:
Now Amazon and other retail stores, love normal persons who are fashion experts, to promote their items. I have now become an influencer myself, by buying items from such stores, and remember to use Amazon site to show the different looks of fashion you have and bought from stores, either online or on the high street and add a review of items purchased, and other retail social media sites. Often stores will give you credit for doing so and have competitions, to encourage regular customers to write a review.
Then customers can then ask you questions about goods bought.
What retailer want yo to do is GRAB OTHER CUSTOMER’S ATTENTION!
What I love about retail stores, those that sell clothes online aswell as on the high street, you can create lists of items you wish to buy and store them, for you to go back to.
Now we are coming up to Christmas what you can do is a wish list, which I always did as a kid at Christmas time and can now with the wonders of the internet, is to create one on Amazon and share it with family and friends, so they know what to buy you and your kids.
You can create a baby shower wish list, Wedding gift list and ask your kids to write one down of fashion and other items, so you an then create a list for each child and other members, and then it is all there.
I HAVE LINKED ONE BELOW NOT FOR YOU TO BUY ME ANYTHING BUT AS A EXAMPLE!
As with buying items, do still have a budget and shop around, and now if a retailer doesn’t have a wish list option you can create a favourite selection list, and again go back to it and share it, either by email, Pinterest or via Social media such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
The item I am looking to add is another pair of jeans as I do see this as a staple item and can be dressed up or down, and if worn with a blazer, can really make a casual look, LOOK Tailored.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1R3458S7I90UH?ref_=wl_share
I have more Amazon Look Book Hauls coming, and I have also showed some of the Amazon Christmas Jumpers for 2020, so check out this video on my Youtube channel BELOW:
Then you have the classic white shirt, and I have added one to my Amazon Recommended list, and I have to say that Sainsbury’s TU range is brilliant too, and check out this outfit put together, which I am wearing today.
In the above photo, The vest top is from Uniglo, Jumper from TK Maxx, Skirt from Sainsbury’s TU range and tights and trainers from Amazon.
The tights are from a retailer called Amazing Health Ltd, and trainers are from Ferlern Direct.
When it comes to buying clothes I do have a clear out, and going to do the same this year, once I go and get my clothes in my old home in Epsom, as there are many items I have not worn and can be donated or sold, online.
A great way to build your clothes and to create a fund for purchasing clothes is to sell some online, and I will be definitely be doing this at some point, and donating items too.
So I hope you enjoyed this post, I will be writing more fashion blogs and be doing some Christmas gifts for 2020.
