Blogger Christmas gifts

This year I was a very lucky girl in regards to being completed spoiled by blogger friends. Thank you all so much!

1. Christmas Swap from Helen

I took part in the Christmas swap organised by Lakota. We had to include 5 items of a value up to £12. They had to include something handmade, a Christmas decoration and something from a charity shop. Helen did fantastic! The fairy lights are currently decorating my bed, the mug is perfect for those cup-a-soup days, the tin will be brilliant for storing all my reciepts in now that i'm freelance, the earrings are suitably festive and you can never have too many lip balms! Helen also very kindly handmade me some Christmas decorations but my mother has packed them away in the loft with all the other decorations so I can't photograph them :( But take my word for it that they were lovely!

2. Secret santa organised by Char

Thank you so much to Char for organising the secret santa, can't wait to take part in it next year! I was very lucky to recieve such lovely gifts! They are just so me, I'm a complete sucker when it comes to leopard print. I couldn't have asked for nicer gifts! The hot warmer smells of lavender, perfect for snuggling up to in the cold nights! If you read my blog, let me know who you are please!

3. Present from Char
This was a complete surprise and very apt considering that we are penpals. Now I have no excuse to not to write ;) I also recieved some writing paper from my parents so expect lots of letters in the new year! Paperchase is one of my favourite shops to have a browse as everything is so pretty, this writing set and pen are no exception.

4. Present from Sophie
Another surprise gift that I was not all expecting! Once again very me! I love the apple pendant, it's a little clock! So cute! Just in the process of hunting down a chain so that I can wear it asap. The nail file is perfect for keeping in my bag, love the little case to put it in.
