What I Got For Christmas 2017

Now that we're on the other side of Christmas and in to a new year, it's all about declutterting and finding new homes for the new Christmas presents (especially the kids!). But before I put all of my gifts away I thought I'd take a few photos and share them here.

I was very lucky this year in terms of gifts, I feel like I got so many and I really do love them all and am so grateful. But I don't want to make this post to brag or be big-headed - arrogance is my very least favourite trait in someone. I wanted to share this because I feel that I was lucky enough to recieve some lovely gifts that I know some of you will really appreciate. I also personally love reading through these sorts of posts myself on other blogs as it gives me inspiration for other occasions such as birthdays and Mother's Day etc. (Plus I'm just generally quite nosey! ;)..)
So here's a look at the lovely gifts I kindly received for Christmas 2017.

 I can't resist a notebook (is anyone else like me and have far too many?). Beauty and The Beast is my favourite Disney film so I was thrilled with this! 

 I'd seen this recommended by a few others and I can't wait to get stuck in and give it a read!

 I received three new mugs for Christmas and I think each of them together sums me up perfectly.. I got a crazy cat lady mug, a Hampton Court Palace (Tudor palace) mug (that I ADORE) and a camera lens mug! That's pretty much me rolled in to one! :)

 I love this new bag that my Sister-in-Law bought for me and I can't wait to use it. 

 I also got lots of chocolate including this awesome chocolate workshop package which has a nail polish, usb stick and camera-shaped chocolate inside. 

 Some lovely toiletries from my sister.

 I also got lots of cat-related presents - people know me so well! ;)

 I am absolutely loving my new blog planner, it's by Dot Creates and I am so pleased with it. I also received the second book by Katie Kirby who wrote Hurrah For Gin. I love the first book, so I can't wait to flick through this.

 Some more of my lovely gifts.. I got a really thoughtful personalised frame, as well as a new umbrella, a gift voucher for River Island, a new camera lens (which was my main present from Adam and myself), a new candle holder and a lightbowl from my Mum who is the absolute queen of finding random presents - she also bought Ethan a parping pig game (which he loves, haha!!).

 My brother and his fiancee bought me this frame and I love it so much! 

I was so pleased that my Husband bought me this t-shirt, I saw it floating around Instagram and I loved it so much! 

 And I also got a very cosy and very soft Chip jumper from my sister in law, which I love wearing!

I was so overwhelmed by such lovely gifts this year. I feel very thankful for each and everyone of them. :) What was your favourite gift that you recieved this Christmas?
