My Birthday Gifts

Hi Everyone. What a rubbish day it is outside, but at least I'm not at work I guess. I have gathered my birthday gifts together to show those of you that are interested.

The girls at work got me this when we went to the Mexican restaurant last Wednesday. Please see that post here :) They know I love Hello Kitty. They also bought two chocolate cakes. We were all too stuffed from the Mexican to eat them so I left one at work for the others to eat and took one home to share with my family.

These cards and gifts are from friends at work.

These eye shadows came in this dinky little bag. So cute. The compact mirror has my name on it. Love it!

A pretty matching bracelet and earrings.

I do love candles so these are great. This is a set of four candles with a fresh and subtle scent.

This is the first product I own from Front Cover Cosmetics. This compact is so compact (not making a joke here). It's great that it comes with a mirror. At first glance I thought these were eye shadows that came with a black liquid liner, but it is clear so that you can turn your eye shadows into eyeliner. I have a very similar eyeliner product from Eyeko, but I think it's fab that this comes with it and the handy sleeve cover too.

This Baylis & Harding England Skin Spa set is from my man's Mum. All products included are scented rose, ylang ylang & patchouli. There are so many products included and these drawers will be handy for storage. 

 Face Cloth, Body Butter, Rich Intensive Body Cream & Steam Shower Body Cleanser.

The pretty drawer unit all the products came in.

Exfoliating Body Mitt, Soap, Body Polish, Silky Hand & Body Lotion, Steam Cream Wash & Steam Shower Body Cleanser.

 Mum gave me money for my birthday, but she wanted me to have something to open so she got me these lovely gifts.

Mum knows I am always looking for ways to brighten up my desk at work so these Hello Kitty stickers and fun pens will come in handy :)

I have loved The Wizard Of Oz since I was a kid as my Dad did. Mum managed to find these Limited Edition Film Cells from the film. So cool! If I ever get my own blogging room these will be going in there :)

These clothes are all from Hollister which my man bought for me. I know how much they are because I picked them up at Xmas when I was with him. The vests are £20 each and the check shirts are £44 each. I almost put the shirts back as I wouldn't normally spend that much on this sort of thing, but they are great quality and fit so well. The vests fit nicely too.

I also received money from my team at work and my other half's family which is always handy :)

I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone that sent me a card and/or gave me a gift. I ♥ it all :)

I have only included prices of things that I know as I don't want to go searching because they were gifts. I hope you all understand :)

Love to you all

My Xmas Presents: Part 2

Hello my fabulous Darlings. I managed to take the rest of my Xmas presents back to my place today from my other half's. These presents are from my man and his family. I said I would show you these presents too so here they are.

I have some fabulous gifts here. The shades of the Fearne Cotton lip glosses and nail varnishes are lush and the false eyelashes are great too. I love all my Hello Kitty goodies. They are so cute. The make-up brushes actually feel quite nice, but I will have to try them to see what they are like to work with.

This DKNY perfume I received from my fella last Xmas, but his Dad actually got me this set this Xmas. It is a nice perfume which I have now run out of so it's nice to have. The Soap & Glory trolley case with toiletries and vouchers my man knew I liked so I knew I had this. I didn't care though as it's gorgeous and the perfect size to take some things round to his house.

I got some great basic toiletries here. My boyfriend's Mum always does a bag of things like this every Xmas. She knows I like these cotton buds, deodorant and face wipes, but it's cool as I will use it all. I have left a razor, pack of wipes and a toothpaste at my boyfriend's that I got with this lot too. love the wee desk calendar. I was hoping I would get one :)

I picked these tops out so I know how much these were. The Hollister vest on the left was £20.00 and the Vero Moda tops on the right were just the bargain price of £2.00 each. The one on top is long sleeve, but the ones underneath are all short sleeve.

I chose these two dresses from H&M as well. I already have this in Black which I bought for £10.00 at the time in the sale. I wore it to a Xmas night out with people from work. These two had been further reduced to just £7.00 each so I just had to have them.

I was eyeing these House Of Holland Pretty Polly suspender tights in lots of shops and my boyfriend gave me the money to go and get them as he didn't want to pick the wrong ones up. He saw these H&M knee high socks on a mannequin and liked the look so got these for me. These Primark slipper socks are leopard print so what's not to love?

I went on to lots of people about this Dorothy Perkins dressing gown as I do love leopard print and this feels all snugly and warm. I really like the hood on it too. I was well chuffed to get this.

My boyfriend hates buying me clothes as he never knows if he is buying the right size or if I will wear it so we went to Bluewater together and I picked out these jeans from Zara. I think these were about £30.00?

I chose these Hollister jeans also. The lower pair are more like jeggings really. I think these were about £40.00 each.

Apologies for the creasing of the clothes folks, but these clothes have been in bags since before Xmas. A massive thank you to my lovely boyfriend and his family for all these lush gifts. I do appreciate all of my gifts and I know I have been spoiled, but I spoiled others too so I don't feel too guilty ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! This is my first post of 2012 and it won't be my last :)

Love to you all
