Hi again sweeties, hope you're all having a nice Saturday. As promised, here is my post about the things I got for Christmas. Please don't take it as showing off in any way, that's not the purpose. I just love being nosy and have a feeling lots of you are the same! :)
I'll start off with presents from my family...
Gucci Guilty edp // Smells so good and the bottle is gorgeous!
Dvds // Cry Baby, Scream Trilogy boxset, Lady & the Tramp. I've yet to see the whole of Cry Baby but I know I'll love it. The Scream movies are some of my favourites and I only had the 4th on dvd. I also want to build my Disney dvd collection as I previously only had The Aristocats.
Soap & Glory Small Wonders set // I finally have myself some hand food and I really do love the scent, everything else in this set is wonderful too.
Youth in Revolt book // This is one of my favourite movies ever and I can't wait to get stuck into the book...it's a lot bigger than expected which is good!
Leopard print dressing gown // So, so cosy and the best pattern ever!
Yankee Candle Christmas Memories book // My mum completely surprised me with this. We had been out shopping during my delirious flu week and I pointed it out to her but didn't think she'd taken much notice. It's completely adorable and all the scents sound amazing! Going to treat myself to a new pretty votive holder.
Cute gold bracelet // It's dainty yet glam, and it fits my tiny wrists, I love it.
Now onto what my boyfriend got for me. He did also buy me some sweeties and a cuddly toy but I've just decided to show the main things...
New York Times Square bin // The perfect replacement for the tiny little bin I've had in my room for years. I love the bright colours and of course New York is one of my dream places to visit.
Camera straps // Ahh I was so happy when I saw these. I'd previously hinted at some cool camera straps before but to be honest I'd even forgotten I'd said anything. Both designs are so beautiful.
Gloves // The first pair are for use with smart phones which means I can check my iphone without freezing my little fingers off. I also love the cute pattern. The second pair are sweet fingerless ones with sequins.
Now you're probably thinking what the hell is this, and rightly so. But this is the present I was most excited (and surprised) about. This is a himalayan salt lamp. I'll let you go off and google them if you're interested but basically they help get rid of 'electric smog'. And they are beautiful night lights, just look...
So apart from some money and far too many chocolates, that's what I got for Christmas. I hope you enjoyed seeing everything. I've seen a fair few of the same posts and all your presents look amazing! Feel free to tell me what you got below though :)
Tonight I'm off to the circus which I'm excited about! I haven't been to one in a few years, I just love being taken in by all the magicalness. Then I have a cosy evening planned with my boyfriend, we're going to eat junk food and watch the new Kevin Bridges dvd. I hope you all have a great evening.
Ahhhh Gucci Guilty is a stunning scent! I love it :) looks like a fab holiday season, hope you enjoyed it :)

Oh wow I need to get myself a pair of those smartphone gloves, I didn't know they came in such nice designs! It gets so so cold where I live and I often pull my phone out to snap pictures, always with frozen fingers as a result! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI don't really have any family but a friend got me some nice tea and a book, and my boyfriend got me a London themed painting (I love London so) and a meteorite necklace, so I'm really happy :D
Hope you've had a great start of the new year!
Such amazing gifts! Looks like Santa was on a roll:)
ReplyDeleteAnd I've had one of those lamps for years but never knew they did that! Cool.
