Today I'm sharing with you the lovely selection of gifts I got for Christmas, I
I was a very lucky girl this year!
I asked a couple of my friends for Lush products this year and so I ended up
with this lovely selection to play with! Look how pretty they all look together.
I'm trying to come up with a few different ideas for displaying them in the
bathroom before they're used. I'll list everything that I got but I plan to do a
more detailed review on all these items plus the bits I got in the sale in a
separate post.
Clockwise: Golden Wonder Gift Box (containing 2 bath bombs), Santa's Belly Shower Jelly, Santa Fun, Cranberry Face Mask, Pop in the Bath Bubble Bar, Five Gold Rings, Candy Mountain Bubble Bar, Yog Nog Bath Bomb.
I got a Fitbit so I can now track the number of steps, km and calories I burn at
the gym. An apron saying 'Star Baker' (as a big fan of The Great British Bake
Off I was very excited about this). A darling little Parisian mirror for my
handbag. The friendship bracelet, which I talked about in my previous post, my
sister made me from Australia. A pretty box that I'm either going to keep my
Yankee Candle melts in or some makeup. I was also given this fabulous 8 piece Laura Geller Makeup gift set which I will review on
the blog for you after I see what looks I can create!
I was beyond excited to open this Harry Potter one that my cousin bought me! I
don't know about you but I've been really into these adult colouring books
lately, since I got a cat one for my birthday. It's great for some creative
chill time!
You know me I'm obsessed with candles so of course I got some for Christmas! Yankee Candle's Let it Snow is a special swirl jar that Clintons had in December it features both the fragrances Cherries on Snow & Sparkling Snow swirled together in one jar - too exciting! I'm a collector of their swirl jars as they're rare so I was very happy to get this. II alsso received a small jar of their new release Berry Triffle described as: "A seasonal treat that everyone enjoys, this Berry Trifle fragrance mixes together the mouth-watering scent of fresh berries, tangy and sharp, nestled on a white bed of soft vanilla cream to create a truly irresistible aroma that captures the true essence of home baking."
I got a nice variety of books this year. If it fits, I sits - a book of pictures featuring cats trying to
cram themselves into awkward places. My favourites being a printer, a wash basin
and a car tyre! I got this from my cat Mandy (I know, but she's always got us
presents! She's a good little shopper). I then got a few books written by bloggers including
Cupcakes and Cashmere by Emily Schuman and The Glam Guide by Fleur de Force which
are lovely style and beauty related books. Plus Happy Handmade Home by two
ladies who run one of my favourite lifestyle blogs A Beautiful Mess, I already
have their Photo Idea Book which I absolutely loved so was excited to read this
other book they released! I also got The Busy Girls Guide to Digital Photography
which has all sorts of useful tips and ideas for photography, from people to
landscapes to food! Lastly I received Easy on the Eyes by Lisa Potter-Dixon who
is a makeup artist for Benefit cosmetics, this book is full of different eye
makeup looks and tips.
How awesome is this little makeup bag from Nails Inc? I fell in love with the
slogan on it - Someone said I live in a fantasy land...I nearly fell off my
unicorn. Brilliant! Inside were three lovely Nails Inc nail polishes that I'm
looking forward to playing around with.
I was given this luxury sized Sanctuary gift box by a friend! I love the
fragrance of Sanctuary products and have been using them for a long time. I have
never tried their candles however so I'm excited to try these three that came in
the collection. The box also contains: Cleansing Burst Body Wash, Foaming Crwamy
Bath Soak, Gentle Body Polish, Body Butter, Headband, Inflatable Bath Pillow for
your head and a beautiful silk bag to keep it all in. I'm definitely going to
have to find a use for this fab box too!
Other gifts I received that aren't photographed include gift vouchers and chocolates.
I hope you all received some lovely gifts this Christmas too! what were your favourite presents?
