What I Got For Christmas 2017



Hello beauties, for today's post I'm going to do the highly requested what I got for Christmas post, every year I love reading blog posts and watching YouTube videos seeing what everyone gave and received. I get so much inspiration for present ideas from watching these videos also. I love Christmas it's my favourite time of the year, the season of giving, spending time with your loved ones and making memories! So, let's get started and I'll share with you all what I was lucky enough to receive this year.

 

 

This year I celebrated Christmas on two different days, once with my partner's family and one day with my partner and my family - I love extended Christmas' - bonus of large families and relationships, more food and quality time with loved ones!!

This year my partner and I agreed not to go crazy with gifts as we want to treat each other spontaneously throughout the year and save for a car and our future. I was gifted a HUGE box of all the lush favourites, and Christmas range of bath bombs from Lush. (I can tell this present from a mile off!) and a new gorgeous set of pyjamas and a Zoella hot water bottle and eye mask.

 

My parents also spoilt me rotten and brought me a Pandora bracelet and a New look gift voucher so I can treat myself to a whole new wardrobe! I love receiving gift vouchers I find it so much fun going out shopping and finding some lovely clothes. 

 

My partner's family spoilt me rotten with a gorgeous new cosy pyjama set, lot's of yummy chocolates and sweets, and a rose gold hat, scarf and gloves set. Tom's Nan also hand knitted me a scarf which is the cutest and softest thing ever!

My brother and his girlfriend brought me a Glamorouriser London Salon Results Touch Hairdryer which I'm SO excited to use! I love hair styling products they are always such a lovely gift to receive as it's always something you never want to go out and buy yourself - I usually just share my Mum's hairdryer so I'm so excited to have my own gorgeous hairdryer!

 

From my other brother and his family I received a gorgeous photo frame with professional photos of my nephew from their photo-shoot and a collection of pictures to choose from so that I can switch them up! I also received 2 of the Christmas lush bath bombs - (for my bathbomb lovers they are - christmas sweater and shoot for the stars) and a new look gift voucher, totally and utterly spoilt!

Lastly but most importantly was the gifts I received from my grandparents, the most sentimental and heart-warming gift was from my Nan that my Grandad gave to me, it is a engraved Parker pen as a congratulations for getting a new job this is something that has such an incredible meaning to me and a gift I will forever treasure. My grandparents also treated me to two gorgeous Rihanna perfumes and money which I'll be putting towards my car I'm saving for!

 

 

Delicious foods and beautifully wrapped presents!

 

               

Family fun with my nephew's Nerf gun present!

 



My family happy and opening their gifts!

 

 

 I had the best Christmas ever and am thoroughly looking forward the new year and to see what 2018 brings. I hope you have all enjoyed reading this post. I'd love to know what your GOOD DEED was this month - mine was after reading up on a lovely story of a local gentlemen who had a huge community fundraiser for him to raise money so he could stay warm and safe in a hotel for Christmas, I walked past him in the street and had a nice conversation with him - the following day I brought him a small Christmas present and was so pleased with how greaful and happy it made him.

Love Em oxo
