Matty J And Laura Share Their Ultimate Christmas Shopping Hacks

Matty J: Crocs! You can never have too many pairs of crocs. I'm also desperate for some new luggage so that needs to go on the list. And you can't go wrong with cologne (Laura hint, hint)

Laura: I'd love a Marc Jacobs Snapshot Bag. I have had my eye on it for months.

Matty J: Conscious Laura is going to read this and my surprise will get ruined. But I think I'll get her a new pair of sunglasses, which is a very practical gift (which will go down well). The average lifespan of Laura's glasses is about 1 month, so she'll be well and truly due for a new pair come Christmas.

Laura: Matt is SO hard to buy for. But a fail-safe present for him is a punchy button-up shirt and some nice cologne.

Matty J: Anything pink! They both absolutely love dresses, so that'll be an obvious choice. They also love story time before bed so a new book will go down perfectly.

Laura: I've just spotted the Cattywampus Play Tent, which has hide and seek written all over it for the girl's room.

Matty J: I expect to get woken up by daughters around 6am – then we'll jump straight into presents. Then I'll be surrounded by seafood, ham, family and Aperol Spritz in the backyard until the evening (weather permitting).

Laura: We are doing Christmas at our place this year, and we are hosting so it's going to be a big beautiful day. I just hope we can all have a nap after the presents, and food coma.

Matty J: I'll be dripping in linen. AERE does it the best so they'll be my go-to. I don't think I'm brave enough to wear white so I think it'll be navy this year.

Laura: Yeah, I'll be in linen too. I love the label AERE as all of the pieces are so versatile, they have great matching sets and dresses that make you look like you've gone to a lot of effort but feel like something you just threw on.
