Some of the lovely gifts I received this year!
I've been meaning to get this post up since last weekend, but then I ended up sleeping, watching Netflix and eating too much instead... standard Christmas right? I spent Christmas Day itself at my Mum's in the morning, then went over to see my Dad and his family in the afternoon for dinner.
This year I got some really lovely gifts from my friends and family this Christmas and on my birthday earlier in December. I thought I'd share a few of them on the blog, as I know a lot of people (myself included) like reading these kind of posts. I alway end up with tonnes of cat-related presents (people know me too well haha) and this year was no exception. Literally too excited to whack out a game of Catopoly next time my friends come round to visit (I bet they just can't wait...)
Home
I'm planning on redecorating my house in the New Year (or at least some of it) so my mum got me a couple of cute new things to brighten up my room. I love Cath Kidston - especially the Clock print - and this bedding set is so pretty! I even got a couple of mugs and an apron (not pictured) to match.
Beauty & Bath
I didn't get as much in the way of beauty and bath stuff this year, although I was lucky enough to unwrap this Soap and Glory box set, plus plenty of Lush goodies. Me and my sisters all ended up getting each other Lush stuff for Christmas. Safe to say we're all pretty big fans!
Fashion
These burgundy New Look boots were a birthday present and so far I've only managed to wear them the once. They gave me such a massive blister I've been too scared to wear them since :( They are such a great wintery colour though and I'm determined to break them in eventually!
I've wanted a cat watch for years so I was really happy to get this one from my Nan. This adorable polar bear jumper is from Sugarhill Boutique, which my mum knows is one of my favourite ever brands. I love it so much and have already worn it a few times.
Obligatory Terry's chocolate orange photo... which I've just remembered I still need to eat! Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas, however you celebrated :-) If you've done one of these posts feel free to leave your link in the comment below so I can have a nose!
Love the burgundy boots and cat watch!!

Thanks Rachel! The boots are beautiful, I just wish they were more comfy :(
That cat watch is just amazing! And those boots are lovely, shame they're not comfy, maybe wear them around the house a bit? Also I think you should make a post just on the catopoly, that looks so cool!
Also a belated Happy Birthday to you!!

Thanks Emma! Yeah I think I'm gonna try wearing them around the house and hope they soften up!
P.s. Happy New Year!! x
I love your shoes and your sweater they are so cute! (:
Thanks Ebony :)
I love the polar bear sweater! I really want to try the chocolate oranges. I don't think my grocery stores sell them :( will have to order from somewhere online!!

Oh no :( chocolate oranges always remind me of Christmas. They're worth a try if you can get hold of one!
P.s. Happy New Year!
Ooh, good haul! I love the colour of those boots! I also love Lush and feel like I should take advantage of being home and having a bath, but I just don't have anything to use xD Maybe I'll order some... (my local town doesn't have a lush! :O)
I definitely think you should order some :D My local town doesn't have a Lush either, it closed down a year ago so now I take advantage every time I go to the one in Birmingham!
Those boots are awesome! I find that new shoes always rub me but the second time they seem to be ok.
*Fingers crossed* these ones will be ok after a couple more wears!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new look boots!! The jumper is so cute too. Hope you had a great birthday and Christmas <3 Gisforgingers xx
What size are your boots? Fancy selling em? :D
Haha they're a size 5 (not for sale though - sorry!) I've worn them in a bit now so they don't hurt as much, although I still get the odd blister!
