Still stuck thinking about all the christmas gifts you still need to buy? Lacking ideas? What about giving them moments?

Me and my sister just agreed to buy something really small for each other, just to have something to unwrap, but rather than spending a lot of money in something we might not need, we’ve agreed to spend a weekend together in Bordeaux as our gift. Me and by other half are planning a trip to Japan next year and we’ve just been in NY for my birthday, so we’ve also agreed that we’ll buy something small for each other and just enjoy our time together.

I think I’ll keep on following this trend for the next christmas as well. One of the most unique gifts is to offer moments your loved ones won’t forget. So what about a stay in quirky and amazing houses? I would be quite happy to get a weekend away in any of these:

The Hobbit House – Cornwall

I’ve actually seen this one being built as part of Grand Designs

The living room is so amazing!

Decoration with old wine bottles, who would say the effect would be so nice?

From £136 you can stay at this place. For booking check here.

The Tree House

Hands up for those of you who had a wish to have a tree house! I did, so what about a stay in a luxurious one?

Starting at £183 a night you can stay in this amazing place.

The Cork Hotel

What about a stay in the first cork hotel in the world and watch the stars in one of the best wine regions in the world (Alentejo)

You can stay here from £50! Oh yeah!

Six Senses Douro Valley

Speaking of wine, couldn’t forget the brand new Six Senses in Douro Valley. Really looking forward for a stay in this place

Would be so happy to wake up with this view

Starting at £210 per night, this can also be your view.

Mr & Mrs Smith Santorini

Speaking about luxurious hotels, Mr & Mrs Smith is on top of the list. Add up to that one of the most romantic locations in the planet and be prepared to be amazed (one girl can only dream!)

Glass Igloo

This is for sure one of the most shared hotels in social media, and no wonder why? If this is not a lifetime experience, then I don’t know what is

This is around £400

I’ve kinda behaved this year, I’m sure I could stay in one of these!
What was the most special place you’ve stayed? Where are you looking forward to visit?

I’m half way through my photos from my recent trip to Lisbon!!! Not enough time to go through them I guess. While that, going through my restaurant wishlist for London (need to do one for Bristol as well).

Shall we start? In no particular order

Gaucho – Steakhouse

There are a few spread across the city and I’ve heard a few people saying this is the best steak in London. Well curious me wants to ensure if this is the case or not. There’s a posh one in Richmond, which I’ve been looking forward to try

The steak

Flat Iron
Since we are talking about meat… the next one on the list is Flat Iron

This looks soooooo yummy!!!

This reminds me a lot of “Relais de Venise“, which can only be good!!

Dirty Bones, Kensington

Meat!

Tea @ The Savoy

Fingers in the air for all those of you who want a chance for a tea @ The Savoy. Yap, I want it as well! I actually love tea and love eating brunch-type food.

One day it will be my day!

But for £50 a person, oh well, need to wait!

Chayada Thai, St Johns Wood

A chinese traditional tea house

Orange Pekoe, Barnes Bridge

Another tea house, closer to home

Kanada Ya, Ramen, Soho

Yap, I’ve tried to come to this tiny restaurant before, but the queue was something really massive. I will still try it again

Looks delicious!

Next door, The Strand, Thai

Yap, this place seems to have a lot of good reviews for the delicious thai food. Need to try it soon, especially when it’s next door to me (Kew Bridge)

Aqua, Shard

Yap, I’ve been longing to go to the Shard since it opened up!!! Who doesn’t?

One day I’ll photograph this view!

Pretty food too

Dim T, London Bridge

My favourite Dim Sum so far is Yauatacha. But always keen on trying different places. Dim T offers a good view

Dim Sum

Good view and good dim sum, I’m in!

Madison, St Pauls

Again, a nice view

Chorizo egg

Babyloon Roof Gardens

Yes I know, I’m choosing for the views. I guess I’ve really got into rooftops and views after watching the sunset in a rooftop bar in Lisbon. Sometimes it’s not just about the food, it’s the overall experience too
