my first video back for you guys for 2024 can we believe it um but yeah for today I just wanted to sit down and and share with you as I do every Christmas a bit of what I got for Christmas video just a bit of a disclaimer that some of these items well I'm not going to say who's got me what I'm just going to show you what I've got but also I have got some PR bits in here that I was sent over the Christmas period that some of the brands I've worked with over the past year years previous years or brands that wanted to send PR they've also included a few bits as well so there's quite a few things to share with you I also have my birthday close to Christmas so a lot of the time I get kind of like joint gifts or um main gifts for this time and then just something little for my birthday so anyway I'm going to jump into sharing with you what I got if you haven't already make sure you're set and cozy with a nice leftover cheeseboard cheese and crackers some celebrations and a coffee in hand whatever it is in your pjs like I have been living in mine and let's get into today's video first and foremost chocolates we had quite a few this year and and Gillian is a trusty favorite in this household one of my favorites and look at the size of that box huge also got from gold smith a very lovely surprise of these earrings um so Tom actually B me these I will say that but they are so so pretty I love wearing these kind of Huggy style small hoop earrings and I was saying to Tom the ones that I've got from Anna Louisa which you guys know I love I have had for a long time and I would like a bit of an upgrade so he upgraded and treated me absolutely spoiled me with these earrings got a beautiful small business actually that um I showed my mom and it's called salt or salt home they do some gorgeous things and so as a kind of like joint gift for myself and Tom we got this set um which is just beautiful I know I said I'm not saying who's got me what but so far I've told you exactly who's got me one this box full of goodies is just me all over so first and foremost this beautiful Bowl it's just like a paper mâché Bowl which is perfect for throwing some Christmas chocolates in at this time of the year Easter chocolates Easter having a standalone just like on a bookshelf on some coffee table books just as like a nice Decor piece that box up and safe until I find a home for it um and then also within here we got this set of organic olive oil and balsamic vinegar how again aesthetic can see how beautiful the packaging is so this is larque uh organic olive oil from Sicily and balsamic vinegar 15year Barrel aged from Italy with Tommy a chef of the household he's going to love that then we've got these which come packaged like so this is the I think the salt Mill and this is a pepper mill which are in like an antique brass and i' mentioned these as well because I've seen them before and I just think they're beautiful so we've got our lcus ones which we love using but these to have out on our kitchen shelf next to or or like on the island maybe on the little tray next to cooking these ones are just so beautiful and they age with times they get more and more a bit like our like switches and sockets that we've gone for from uh Corston they age over time and become even more antique looking and lastly within this gift set um is this beautiful these are all I think they said like handmade handcrafted individual really old boards even just F on display beautiful or I've got some of these where I have like a candle on them one of the big Botanical candles or something so loads of different uses for that but um yeah we'll find a home for that and I'll show you that once it's in place that's sort of styling content and everything to come in the new year I also got from the white comp company I've got one of these individual winter candles so I'll get that burning I love winter it's just such a classic even into January I like burning winter as well so love that and then also from the white company it's gorgeous it's like a silk um 100% silk sleep from sleep range at the white company it's like a headband can you see it's in like a Navy with little uh diamonds that you can obviously use as sleep hair band you could use it to like maybe throw your hair up doing your makeup and then also I got these festive well I say festive but it's just cuz they've got stars on it but these joggers from again the white company sleep range or lounge range they call them in a small and these ones are part wall and with cashmere as well I think I've seen that they do Navy and also a gray on their website but yeah they're just like a nice lightweight Lounge jogger to wear around the house that are so comfy and yeah gorgeous just for the festive season with the Stars but any time of year and then also from the white company I got one of their christmy mugs they do a star and a snowflake snowflake is my favorite maybe we could get one of each but this snowflake mug which is perfect for Christmas within I think my next video I'll probably do it as well within the next couple of videos I want to do a pantry organized and I'm going to have a good declutter and clear out of especially seasonal mugs because let's face it we only need a few and I have a whole Shelf full of seasonal mugs autumn and winter it's just my weakness is buying seasonal mugs but I'm going to whittle it down to all of my favorites and this obviously will be up there with one of my most favorite so yeah also to make some hot chocolates we got some Hotel chopa this is the selection everything box and to go with it some bar slabs of the 40% milk Chocolat okay this was actually a treat from me to me it was something that I had an Amazon voucher to put towards something and I thought you know what I'm going to by myself something this year as a bit of a well done do think that is something that we should all do we should Pat ourselves on the back when we feel like we deserve it and just have a bit of guilt free treat yourself so I treated myself to I've mentioned this before that I wanted it but the Home Alone house and Tom looked at me and said are you crazy where on Earth are we going to put that but he's got several Lego cars and they don't take up that much space but I'm thinking with this one to I'm not sure when I'll get round to doing it I was thinking this festive period but honestly we've been that busy hosting organizing the house doing stuff that I feel like I haven't even cracked this open yet I haven't even got a puzzle out this year that's how much I feel like I need to just that's what I'm saying this week I'm just going to skip another video and just have a bit of time to myself and do stuff like this but yeah I was thinking this could be something that we could bring out each year as a bit of Christmas decor cuz it's like a proper little house that you can open up and like a kind of doll's house and be part of the Christmas decor as home alone is within my top three Christmas movies this was an absolute treat absolute treat I did choose it so I knew I was getting it Tom and I both kind of did a gift this year whereby of a similar value we decided to kind of each pick our own thing and he got a ramoa suitcase and I got I got a bag went for a brown like the classic kind of monogram from Louis Vuitton this I think is the bag yeah this one's the bag so they packaged it beautifully for Christmas some really gorgeous Christmas gift WRA this year and even the bags as well love them so this is called the poset felicy those of you that follow me on Instagram may have noticed quite a few months ago now I shared a Pinterest image that I've seen and I said does anyone know what this bag is and a few of you guys have said you've got it this is what it is so this is it she is gorgeous and she's kind of like this is me girl mathing three in one because not only do you get the actual bag itself which comes with the gold chain kind of cross body which makes it a little dressier which you can clip off so you can have it as a clutch and also within here you get couple of inserts you get this one as you can tell they're like kind of burgundy inner is beautiful but you get this insert which is like a little card and money holder and then you also get this zippable pouch as well so again another coin purse or whatever you want to put in here where you want to put like little bits of makeup or something to like have separate within the bag I was after as well as this option of a chain they do a leather chain to make it a bit more daytime appropriate which again you just simply clip on again beautiful Christmas packaging got lots of boxes and Christmas packaging here which I am just I feel like I'm it's Christmas again opening everything bag within a box within a box within a bag so this is the leather strap I'm assuming this is like obviously compatible with quite a few of their bags but you can adjust it with this Buckle to have it cross body and like I said to have this one I just feel like makes it a bit more daytime appropriate which is probably how I will wear this most often and then a friend bought me the cutest most sentimental thoughtful little print which is just so cute it's even got like me and Barney on it as you can tell and it just says a true friend leaves poor prints Forever on your heart love that I also got some gorgeous PJs these satiny silky um this is actually a set so you get a shirt you get the um eye mask as well as the bottoms and it's a really nice print I don't know if you'll be able to see it on camera but it's kind of like a slight animal print that's another area I want to clear out bit of a decluster and clear out of my uh PJ drawer especially now that I've got these new ones because not only did I get those by also got some from where are they so here we go I've also been given some from the white company we love white company PJs from the Sleep range white company they're like a soft brushed Cotton ribed white bottom and matching top so very meat just classic simple just love love love love and then also also from the white company I got some cozy socks and I love getting new socks at Christmas so these nice little boot socks are perfect for this time of the year again another drawer that I want to have a clear out of I got some little stocking pillow some palm reading cards I just feel like apparently this these kind of things like tarot cards palm reading cards bad luck if you buy them yourself and I've always wanted some so we've got some a little palm reading cards we can maybe do that together in a vlog or something discover your future in the palm of your hands they also got a little addresses and Birthdays book a handwarmer rechargeable for dog walks in the winter weather um I also got some wooden dominoes which we actually played so they're down in the like black bookcase room with the games but I've also Tom's been teaching me chess over the Christmas period so I had a game with my dad as well and I just not very good but we're learning um but yeah I got set of with the dominoes also some black playing cards like how smart is that joker card so we'll get those in the kind of like games room games area in that bookcase everyone knows me very well got no excuse now we've got chocolates to last the month of January anyway this as well is something that I did mention to family and friends saying like a few struggling Fridays this would be amazing and I got it and I'm so happy I did because this is just the most gorgeous coffee table photo album It's called A Dog's Life it's in like a linen white and beige that is just perfect on display in any of our rooms quite frankly these are from Printworks which I've bought their albums before cuz I think they're really good um as gift ideas they do all sorts they do like wedding albums they do I've included some and gift guides in the past as well because they do a um something like I think it's called an artists work or something like that whereby you can use it to put your child's artwork within you know like the paintings the drawings things that they come home from school with and you're bit like thanks but where do I put it all of this stuff to have it all within like one of those albums that is a really nice coffee table B I think it's genius and then I also got this from hotel Chaka this is a dipping Adventure they do some of these um I've seen these before like little pots where you can melt the chocolate and have a little like fondue set I also got a from Oliver bonus an aroma diffuser this is gorgeous so you guys know I love to have my electric diffusers I feel like I could have one in every room but this one is beautiful let me show you cuz I want to show you the color of it it's gorgeous I feel like because of the green it would work perfectly in I would say the danair loop but there's no plug socket in there so I'm going to say like the kitchen area Pantry kitchen pant Tre or even entryway if we get some kind of like little console there I feel like that would look really nice um there so yeah love that oh another really thoughtful gift that Tom bought which I'm really excited for is a girl that is local to us um she does at home onetoone yoga sessions so she sent this as the kind of like a little gift to open um of which in here is a little peppermint tea kind of like a wellness box gratitude Journal which I've seen this before and wanted to get it so there's that there's a cam malti a little green clay mask and some essential oils in white jasmine within here is a voucher for yoga with Sophie and she will be coming to our house for me and Tom to both have a kind of like private onetoone session yoga session for an hour every week for I think it's 12 weeks he said he book so sort of January to March time which we can obviously extend if we decide to or spread it out if we wanted to but I thought that was lovely cuz I really I always say I really want to get more into yoga I also want to try like some Pilates or something this year but yeah I thought that was perfect actually to Kickstart the New Year okay this is something I actually just bought myself for New Year's as we are hosting I'm thinking getting a little Glam so I bought um myself something from Nadine marabi to wear which is their it's like a jumpsuit in this like velvet with the feather topper which is so gorgeous I feel like I can't show you properly without it being on so I'll do a kind of like unboxing Tri of that over on my Instagram if you want to see I'm going to be doing more styling videos to come so stay tuned for those and last but not least we've got some more PR bits things that have been sent this which I thought was genius I've mentioned these kind of things before but from Ultra human this is called their air this is the ring sizing kit that you can get and it's essentially like a smart ring so it can track your sleep pattern stress all sorts of things and you basically get this little ring sizer tell them your size and then they send it to you in the post in different colors that they do I went for if I show you I thought this would be really interesting to try so it fits on your index finger I went for the gold but you can get black silver I think they do silver and matte black as well I also got a Garmin because I actually went on a run today but I really want to be able to track my running and my like um Pace time I take Barney as well so I have my phone in my pouch it's really awkward to get out to see what time I'm on and everything so I got one of these which I bought from Tik Tok shop along with buying one for my dad for Christmas I thought I would get one for myself I love a good mystery kind of game I love True Crime so these um Case Files that X detectives have created where you get all the information included and you basically have to sus out who's the murderer Bobby Brown very kindly sent me a little Christmas PR package which is just so kind of them so thank you to Bobby Brown for sending this over mascara and the instant longwear makeup remover we've got a double set this is one of my favorit products from Bobby Brown it's their vitamin andrich face base like a good real like thick smell amazing as well primer for your face um and this is their Lux cheek and highlight palette Luxe matte lipstick again in a vlog we can maybe try these out and do some like makeup reviews first impression type things another lipstick here and a little eyes Shadow Jimbo what a treat I can't wait to try all these out and then last thing in this sack we've got some bits from Georgio Mani so their makeup is gorgeous especially their luminous silk foundation so they have sent me a top up which is in my shade three perfect one of my favorite foundations it's like three is perfect for when I have my winter skin so maybe a little bit of tanning drops in my skin but otherwise like in my moisturizer otherwise just kind of like the color I am now I haven't really got any Tan on at the moment but then they also sent a couple of their eye tints which are a beautiful shimmery we've got shell 12 and blush 44 this one is shell it's like a beautiful creamy like look at the color of that absolutely gorgeous little Shimmer for the eyes nothing too glittery it's just a real nice Shimmer this one is the blush so a bit pinkier I'll show you them side by side some gorgeous Shades there I feel like I might um just do a little Swatch so that you can see what they come out like so literally just blend beautifully I mean how nice is that I'm going to leave these links because I feel like you guys will really enjoy them they're just so easy to use there's no faffing it's just a simple cream product that you can blend even just with your fingers they knew me so well so thank you to Georgia man Beauty for sending me those and that's everything so we have loads I appreciate that like I said it is Christmas and birthday kind of rolled into one anything else that I do get for my birthday whether I go shopping treat myself or get anything else I will do a kind of a bit of a birthday Vlog in the new year that might even be my next video so either going to be that or a kind of probably more likely
