Christmas 2009

Well Christmas is finally over, everyone can be free to breathe at last. I managed to get all of my Christmas shopping done on time and people were happy with what I’d got them so that was a big relief. I’m kind of sad really that Christmas passes by so quick as everyone is usually happier this time of year and I love all the decorations etc. But I don’t enjoy buying presents not because of the expense but because of the hectic shops where old grannies shove me and I have to watch out for prams running me over. Honestly if I could just get all of my presents of the Internet I would, but you can never really rely on the postal service around the winter season.

I got some brilliant gifts this year and I was surprised! I hadn’t really asked for many things in particular as I prefer to be surprised and after all it’s the thought that counts. So because I’m so nice I decided to take pictures to make this blog just that little bit better. First I will show you the pictures of what my mum and dad bought me as well as what my brother gave me.

One of the first gifts I opened was this lovely DKNY perfume called Be Delicious. It is so cute and looks just like a little green apple. It smells absolutely gorgeous! It came with a moisturiser as well that smells just like the perfume so now my hands can stay nice and soft while also smelling lovely.

 

 

My parents also bought me some Philip Kingsley products as well as a Philip Kingsley paddle brush. I love these sort of gifts that are really useful. The brush feels super soft and doesn’t make my hair statically charged (an annoying side effect of plastic hair brushes *shudder*).

 

 

Pictures below are some more presents from my parents including: some more perfume, the film Confessions of a Shopaholic and the book The time traveler’s wife. It’s a tradition every Christmas for my mum to buy me a Chick Flick to watch. It would be nice if I could get round to reviewing some of the chick flicks in my collection but it might take me a long time!

 

 

My parents also got me this cute love heart watch and a little handbag.

 

 

They also bought me games of course! My brother bought me Muramasa.  Pictured here is Mini Ninja’s, Muramasa The Demon Blade and Broken Sword. This satisfies my gaming needs.

 

 

My mum bought me these sweet pyjamas too. I love the little polar bears on them.

 

 

So that just about wraps up (pardon the pun!) what my mum and dad bought me. The other gifts I got which I didn’t take pictures of were a new coat, a cream jumper from Jane Norman and a white scarf and gloves set.

I also got some amazing gifts from my boyfriend Chris and his parents. Pictured below is what Chris bought me. Some yummy Thornton's chocolates, a cute skull necklace, a Fruits Basket sticker book and the full Heroes box set (Squee!). He really knows my tastes! Thank you so much Chris!!

 

 

Chris’s parents also got me a great gift and I was really surprised that Chris told them I liked Robin Hood. They bought me the box set for the first series.

 

 

So that is all the presents I received this Christmas I also got sweets and a some chocolates but don’t expect to see pictures of them (they didn’t last long!).

Christmas day was brilliant, after opening all the presents we had our Christmas lunch in the conservatory. My mum had put heaters in to warm it up so we were all nice and toasty. I loved spending time like that with my family. Me and my brother Greg were having a good laugh. Later we all snuggled in the living room and watched a few films.

I hoped you all had a good Christmas too!
