I'm always grateful to my family and friends for the thought and care they put into getting me gifts, whether it be for Christmas or my birthday, I enjoy posting these kinds of posts as it allows people a more personal look into the things that I like and enjoy.
First we have the gifts I received from my friend Vikki, who I've been working with for the past 10 years. She got me a little wall canvas of me and Skye from a few years back with us wearing our matching onesies, a Harry Potter wall calendar, that's now up on the wall with all my work shifts and a Minnie Mouse collectible 50 pence piece, which I think is just the cutest. I'm hoping this year that I start decorating the rooms in the house so I can make it seem more like mine and Skye's home, so as of yet I don't know where I will be placing the little canvas.
Next from my work friend Bev, another that I have worked with for the past 10 years, I got a cute kawaii mug that says "rain rain go away", that I have used quite a few times and a Korean lemon hand cream. I couldn't help laughing at the instructions as they were either translated incorrectly or the info for the wrong product was attached as it instructs us to apply this hand cream to our faces.
From my brother Christopher and his family, I got Star Wars goodies which is a storm trooper mug, which I have yet to take out of it's packaging and use and some awesome Star Wars shot glasses which has a storm trooper, Darth Vader, R2D2 and C3PO, these are another that are not yet out of it's packaging, but will be once I have a gathering for food and drinks.
From my friend's Becky, Dave and their little boy James I got this cute tea for one set and cute little milk jug. I love this owl teapot that separates into teapot and mug, it comes in handy when I'm blogging and requiring a hot refreshment, it easily hold at least 2 cups of tea. I also love the milk jug, I've always wanted stuff like this as it means I can have my own little afternoon tea party, while I'm busy blogging or reading. It's the perfect gift got me.
Next from my friends Kate, Sam and their little lady Alexandra, I got some really comfy and fluffy Harry Potter slipper socks, that are definitely getting plenty of use, they are perfect for the cold winter nights. I also got this cute Minnie Mouse waist apron, which I adore. I've always wanted a vintage style waist apron, I absolutely love them, at the moment I've only used it once, when I was making the new years day dinner, but I know it will be getting lots of use when I'm baking.
From my friends Liv and Dan I got 3 pastel coloured unicorn canisters, that are now placed on a wooden serving tray and already in use for coffee, tea and sugar. I also got from the same collection a cute pastel coloured cloud tea bag rest, which I have placed with my unicorn canisters.
Next from my friend Nichola and her family, I got some awesome goodies, one of which I forgot to add to this little group picture and didn't take me long to demolish. I got a jar of bubblegum fizzy bottles, which Nichola knows I'm always on the hunt for and gutted when the pick n mix is out of them. I also got some Soap & glory beauty products, lip balms that contain 3 different scents of Pina Colada, Gin & Tonic and Prosecco. I also got a Hufflepuff bath bomb, which has been used and it smelt really nice and left my skin feeling moisturised, finally she also got me a BTS book which is an ARMY Handbook, as she knows I love BTS and I'm an ARMY.
From my friend Clare and her little girl Scarlett, me and our friend Nichola got a joint gift of us to be able to go for an afternoon tea, which I can't wait to get it booked in and feel like more of a grown up.
From my sister and her husband Bob, I got this cute little makeup set as well as a little chocolate Santa. Santa is in the fridge ready for one I'm having craving foe either chocolate or something sweet. I've already used the highlighter that's with the makeup set as I love the colour of it. The colours in the eye shadow palette are really pretty colours.
Lastly from my dad and his partner I got some Harry Potter pyjamas and some Harry Potter slippers. Soon as it got dark on Christmas day and I'd got the kitchen all cleaned up from all the pots and left over food, I was straight into these. The pyjamas are so fluffy and comfortable that they're perfect for the winter months. The slippers are really comfortable, I wear them all the time.
From my mum and her partner I got £50, which I used to treat both myself and Skye.
Well that's the end of my Christmas gift haul for 2018, there are some presents that are not included in the pictures as I got them after creating the post, like from my friend Mary-Kate at work I got some Korean sheet masks, which I can't wait to use. Looking at last year's Christmas Haul, I said that I would do shopping hauls as I would be buying home ware stuff, but I think as well as doing that this year, I will do a before and after post when I've decorated each room to show how I've changed them to look more like mine and Skye's.
Did you get some amazing presents last year from friends & family?
Let me know in the comments below.
See you soon!
