Christmas Present haul



2014 was another year of receiving such an amazing bunch of awesome presents - so spoilt (I have the nicest family and boyfriend!) Today I get to share my haul, including all those presents above from my beautiful cousin heather and her family. I do this thing with blind boxes where I pick which figurine I'd love to get and which would be my worst pick and this year I got all my favs!!! Skeleton Hello Kitty and Dr. Finkelstein from Nightmare Before Christmas!! I also got a awesome Sailor Moon keychain (eep!) and some bubblegum-licious scatch and sniff stickers :)

They also got me this red riding hood themed tea set. Isn't she the cutest with her little basket that holds your tea bags!!


My family, although I'm sure Mum was behind all the awesome choosing, got me a bunch of radness including the latest Katy Perry perfume. I have the original bottle but this set came in cute roll on tubes, which are now scattered all over the joint in case I need emergency perfume (the scent is super pretty too for those wondering and the bag is glittery amazing-ness). Hello kitty appears again and this time I get to brush my teeth with her :) I also got some pastel sticks designed to work directly onto fabric and a cat book which I fear my leave me crying my eyes out #pleasehaveahappyending

I also got this super pretty and colourful beach towel and this super hero cat. Mum was a bit worried I had outgrown my plush phase but to be honest I'm still a kid at heart :) I love her, she's kick arse!

And last but not least a vintage musical Christmas bell. Mum had the same version growing up and as someone who is super sentimental I appreciate that I've got my own version now :) The box was stellar and vintagey too!

(just pull the plastic acorn to get the music happening!)

Lucky last is my stash from Ben, he got me cute figurines and the comic Topo in hopes I'll become a comic book nerd like himself :)

I also got to add to my jibibuts collection which Ben started me off on last year. I really wanted the noferin, puppy design and I got it - hurrah!

My super awesome main present from Ben was this amazing Mr Clement limited edition bunny, with a cute red scarf you can model to make it look like it's blowing in the wind (un-shockingly also the name of the design!)

His head comes off to reveal a skull underneath - such perfection and fits in with my love of all things creepy but cute :)

Unfortunately I'm a super weirdo and things made out of velvet (just to even look at) send shivers down my spine. Ben knows of my weird ways but he didn't know, flocked = super extreme velvet. So now awesome mister bunny lives in Ben's room. I'm such a bad girlfriend but I can appreciate from afar!

  4. ohmy! awesomely perfect presents! I can't choose a favorite! I love love the tea set, all the blind boxes, Mr. Clementine and that christmas bell (with a box that need to be displayed anywhere in your home as well). Does it play classic xmas songs? Never seen one before! Oh and one fun note, I also do the same with blind boxes annoying Dani to the maximum because he is always extremely nervous while opening blind boxes and thinks I'm jinxing it saying out loud my least favorite ;)

    1. The bell plays a tune, I didn't really recognise but than I'm not the most musical person ever :P Or maybe it did and I was too caught up in looking at it lovingly - I might have to pull back out my Christmas box now! I think it's good to acknowledge the worst because if you do get it it's not as bad :P (strange reasoning!) I don't remember, ever getting my least favourite though so the system must work :) lol

    1. Oops I just realised I had written "clementine" but it's actually just Mr. Clement (my booboo!) A quick googling landed me at his shop page here...http://www.mrclement.com/shop/
