So I decided instead of doing two separate blogs I would simply combine them into one post. I also decided it would take far too long to take individual photos of everything I got/brought. Therefore since theres a few things I've brought myself from London or wherever I will put a * next to the item if I brought the item myself. Also I tried to write about or at least list everything but it was so long so I've shortened it.
1. MacBook Air
Whilst this was my main Xmas present from my Mum, Nan and Uncle I also contributed money towards this as my family are working class and don't earn a lot of money. Yes I could have brought a different/cheaper laptop but this one was best suited to my needs.
2. Toni and Guy Straighteners
My good pair of straighteners are slowly breaking so I decided to replace them with the Toni and Guy fluid metal straighteners, these are perfect for travelling as they come with a travel case and a heatproof mat. Also they have really pretty plates.
3. Real Techniques Bold Metals Brushes
I wanted them because I can never have enough make up brushes and they're pretty and I love the Real Techniques I already own.
4. Make Up Organisers
Essentially I don't have a lot of storage space at uni and I was looking into little boxes or something to store my make up in, however I am really fussy and couldn't find ones I liked enough or cheap enough. So my mum decided to buy me clear, acrylic make up storage to keep my make up in.
5. Make Up Sponges
I got a Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge and a generic sponge, I do get through sponges so quickly, however amazingly I have never had a Real Techniques sponge.
6. Mermaid Blanket
I am cold blooded and I love mermaids so what better to buy me than a blanket shaped as a mermaids tail, and in the same/as close to Ariel's tail.
7. Ariel Soft Doll
Sticking with the Ariel/Little Mermaid theme my lovely nan also got me the Ariel doll in the pink dress. I've been after this since April and it only recently came into my local Disney Store, I wanted this specific one because for prom 4 years ago I decided to DisneyBound as Ariel in her pink dress.
8. Ariel Mug
I fell in love with this Ariel mug in London, so my mum got it me as a stocking filler, its also a pearlescent turquoise colour inside and shaped more like a teacup than a mug.
9. Ariel Bath Fizzers and Face Cloth
10. Mermaid and Fairy Bath Fizzers
I've never seen these before but essentially you put them in the bath and they fizz away and once they've disappeared you get a mermaid or fairy (depending on which one you get). I can not wait to try these out and see what they smell like.
11. Zoella Lazy Days Reed Diffuser
I love this scent, however I'm not allowed candles at my flat at uni so a reed diffuser seemed the perfect solution.
12. Zoella Lazy Days Gift Set
I love this scent, candles and socks so this seemed like the perfect combination
13. Zoella Stationary Gift Set
This set is full of sticky notes, comes in a hard, solid case, in a gorgeous design and is small enough to fit in a handbag, or not take up to much room on my desk.
14. Zoella 'These 3 Beauties' Make Up Bags*
I am always looking for or buying bags like these, I love the design so when I spotted them on sale I just couldn't resist.
15. Ted Baker Sweet Treat Duo
I love Ted Baker scents, they're handbag sized, never too strong but long lasting and when someone gave me the Mia and Polly set I was overjoyed.
16. Ted Baker Mini Trio Sprays
Unlike the Mia and Polly set these bottles are made out of plastic, this along with their size makes them perfect to throw in your handbag.
17. Ted Baker Bag*
I got this bag in London, I've been looking for a good, solid, large black bag for a while. I love my other 2 Ted bags so the choice for this one was pretty easy. At first I was unsure of the gold hard ware because I'm not a big gold type of person, I definitely prefer rose gold, silver or copper. However I am completely over that and love my new bag.
18. Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream
This is the perfume that every time I pass it on a counter or whatever I just have to smell it, its long lasting, smells heavenly and comes in the most beautiful bottle. I was lucky enough to get the 100ml bottle so this should last me a while.
19. Soap and Glory 'The Whole Glam Lot'
This tin is full of goodies from face wash, to mascara and even hand sanitiser. The tin is shaped like a suitcase and can definitely be used time and time again even after the products are long gone.
20. Soap and Glory 'Fame and For Tune'
Not only does it have a variety of minis in it, this tin plays music. I have used this to bug my family. It has miniatures from its original and Sugar Crush collections.
21. Soap and Glory 'Pink Twice'
Mini/Handbag size hand and foot creams, the hand cream will come in extremely useful as I am constantly using hand sanitiser throughout the day. This unfortunately leaves them dry if I don't use hand cream.
22. Lush
I got most of the Lush Xmas Collection of my family (there's some products I can't use because I'm allergic to certain ingredients) including some new ones to try and some of my trusty favourites. I also got some things from the Oxford Street store including bath oils and the Golden Summers bath fizzer.
23. Tsum Tsums*
I got the Dumbo, Flounder and Dory bags, as well as other Tsum Tsums including the Christmas Collection, these additions take my collection up to 177 Tsum Tsums. Some of the Tsum Tsums I brought myself others were stocking fillers.
24. Now Thats What I Call Disney
Because you can never have enough Disney music in your life.
25. Tragus Bars and Nose Studs
I'm always losing nose studs, they just fall out without me noticing and I don't have a spare triages bar.
26. Chocolate/Drinks/Sweets
27. Pandora Love and Guidance Charm
I got the charm placed on a necklace, the chain wasn't as long as I expected it to be, however I am still in love with it.
28. Clothes*/PJ's/Fluffy Socks/Socks/Slippers
*Most of the Clothes I brought from London and include the rose sweatshirt, Burgundy roll neck, jeans and playsuit
29. Elephants
I love elephants so I got brought a variety of little elephant things from a jewellery/ring holder to a little Xmas Dumbo.
30. Microwave Warmers
I got a Unicorn and a Pug microwavable warmer, essentially its a microwave friendly teddy that acts similar to a hot water bottle.
As for the other things I brought in London it was mainly the Ted Baker bag, Cath Kidston x Disney overnight bag in the Mickey in London Print and the Naked 2 palette. I hope everyone got what they wanted, I was definitely spoilt but my family also have the habit of buying little things all year round. Its also not the money that counts, Christmas should be about spending time with those you love and care for.
