What I Got For Christmas

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all well and have had a very Merry Christmas so far.  Did Santa bring you lots of goodies?  Eat lots and lots of yummy food?  How about sale shopping?

Christmas in the Ollman house was wonderful and I was well and truly spoilt.  A very lucky girl is me.

I thought I would do a “What I Got For Christmas” post as I myself love reading/watching what people got for their birthday, Christmas or general shopping hauls and this is in no way a bragging kind of post.  Its more to “feed the masses” like me and give a general good nosey into what we were lucky enough to receive for Christmas.

So, without further ado here is what this lucky chica received for Christmas.

First up we have some yummy goodies that I found in my stocking.  Hotel Chocolat Tiddly Santas, Milkybar Buttons, Fruit Pastilles, Chewit Strawberry Laces and a Baileys Truffle Bar.  Next up is a bit of  a Frozen theme and again were little fun stocking fillers.  Little activity tin and some edible goodies.

I also got some fun cute clothing.  The Elsa jumper is gorgeous and very comfy.  It also sings “Let It Go” which is cute and corny, but I love it.  The Sleeping Beauty tee will be perfect for Walt Disney World next year and the design is pretty cool and different. 

Every year my hubby gifts me the Disney Thomas Kinkade calendar which I absolutely love.  Would love to become the owner of one of his Disney paintings one day as they are amazing and the detail is incredible.  I love a bit of Animal Crossing and this is the new game that came out a couple of months ago where you get to try your hand at being an interior designer, so looking forward to trying that one out.  I’ve recently been sucked into the therapy colouring, which is quite relaxing when you want to shut your brain off, so to speak.  Then we have Winnie the Pooh and his classic tales, big fan of this little bear and friends.

Gorgeous smellies

Next up we have some pamper pressies.  My boss very kindly and unexpectedly gifted me the Yankee Candle wax melts and Lush bath bomb (which smells amazing) he also gifted me the Hotel Chocolat Santas.  I also have my first Burts Bees Lip Balms which I can't wait to try out, think there are about 4 or 5 different flavours/types in that little tube.

Bling bling!

My parents surprised me with two pieces of jewelry, to the left we have a bangle which has a diamante rose flower type detail and I love it.  They also got me a necklace but not the one you see here.  The one they bought for me I actually received last year from a friend so I exchanged that for this one (which was approved by my mother as I was on the phone to her at the time I was looking for an alternative).  I have a Chamilia charm bracelet that is solely Disney and my hubby was the best and got me a few more charms to go with and they are so apt, especially the Minnie Ears one as I am obsessed with wearing them when we're at Disney World.

This candle is by a company called Imperial Candles (UK based) and these are soy wax candles that are supposed to give off less smoke and are more “eco” the surprise bonus is that it also contains a piece of jewelry (once burned down to a certain spot).  Can’t wait to see what little goodie is revealed.  Also the smell is amazing really strong smell of roses, beautiful. 

Next up we have the beauty section.  My parents very kindly got me the Benefit Your b.right to Party tin which contains a selection of their skin care range and I am very excited to try these babies out.  We also have the Naked 2 Palette by Urban Decay which I am so grateful to receive (hubby did so good this year).  He also got me some more brushes from Eco Tools.  I already have this set, but you can never have too many brushes am I right?  The other Benefit goodies were a substitute present that are kind of made up from what were in the other Christmas tins.  It was very sweet and thoughtful of him to do this, as he could have just said that the tins were sold out and left it at that.

These last two pressies were so totally unexpected and I am so so grateful to my hubby.  We have Coco Mademoiselle, which I had smelt the previously when we were out shopping and fell in love with.  A very sweet and sophisticated smell.  The camera is a Canon SX610 HS and my hubby said that he put a lot of research into it as he wanted me to have a decent camera to vlog and blog with because he wants to fully support me in pursuing blogging and vlogging.  Such a lucky woman to have a wonderful husband.

Gosh that is a lot when you really look at it and I am so so grateful to everyone that kindly gifted me all these wonderful presents.  I am hoping to do a What I Got For Christmas Vlog and I will be reviewing most of them as well separately, so please stay tuned for those updates.  Again I just want to reiterate that I am not bragging to show off what I got, I am hopping on the proverbial band wagon and feeding my fellow “What I Got” lovers with their fix.  I'll probably go off now and look up what all of you got for Christmas.

As always please feel free to comment, I would love to hear from you and also subscribe as it would make my day.

Ciao for now
