Christmas Cheer and Presents Galore

Oh my goodness! I've just cleared out the fridge of Christmas leftovers! I hope you all had a lovely time over the Christmas weekend. Gift giving plays a part this season (for some) and I loved shopping and picking out things for those special people out there! I hope my nieces and nephew liked what I got for them! Here are some poorly edited snapshots of some of the things I got this Christmas. I cannot believe how spoilt I got!

We do secret santa with the in-laws and hubby's papa got me a Nutri-Bullet!! It's pretty much a very strong blitzing machine. This will replace my current Magic Bullet which didn't work too well at making biscuit crumbs but still good at smoothies. Thank you papa!! 

The next few photos are little surprised gifts from the in-laws. You can probably guessed they will feature many cat themed things! We also got lots of chocolates and biscuits. *the never ending food coma* I always (and have) use a paper calendar where I write important dates on that is kept in a high traffic area - this year it's on the bookshelf in the living room. I find I see and remember the dates better than when I write them in my phone. Using the phone calendar is good for when I'm on the go though. How cute is the cat tote bag?!?! I think it's hand made (not 100%) and it has this gorgeous gold embroidered lining. I love it!

The staff at work spoilt me so much even when there's two sets of secret santa happening!! I didn't get to photograph everything as they are probably eaten or stored somewhere. I asked for my secret santa to place a donation to my chosen charity, The Sydney Dogs and Cats Home which she did and it was extra special as she was also an animal lover too. There's an array of Christmas decorations, candles, homewares and beauty products. I was surprised with some false lashes and press-on nails, which I thought were so funny yet so me! One of my good friends from work made me a little succulent planter glass thingy which is so beautiful. And finally, one of my nieces made me a cute mason jar Christmas ornament which said I was the best aunty ever! Yeah! Too cute.

What did Santa bring to you?
