Birthday Present Haul 2020

Hope my readers are doing well. It was my birthday recently, and I got some lovely things from my family which I was grateful for. I ordered some bits beforehand as well such as books and CDs. I received some beautiful cards which were special to me. My favourite gift item were the books, as I look forward to having new reading material.

My Mum bought me a beautiful beret, in a purple colour which I have already started wearing. My brother got me some toiletries including a soap scrub which I haven’t tried yet. My Dad got me a game which I have played before, it’s called the yes and no game. I hope you enjoyed this post. My birthday was fairly quiet, but nice, and it gave me some new things to keep me busy during the lockdown. 

Have I given you any gift inspiration? Do we have similar taste in something? :-) Xx

Birthday Present Haul 2019

Hope my blog readers are doing well. Today I wanted to share what I received for my birthday this year. I sometimes try and fit to a theme, and last year it was mermaid/aqua colours. This year it’s more focused on prepping for autumn. I picked up a few related things in the summer sales to put away for my birthday, for example a winter coat and hat. The block calendar, fox book markers, body sprays and bedtime tea are giving me those A/W vibes too.

Books are one of my favourite things to receive, as I don’t normally buy new books throughout the year. I tend to mostly buy myself things on my birthday, as I’m rather fussy but my family picked out some lovely surprises such as DVDs, foodie items, shower gels etc. I go to a card making class, and the tutor was having a craft sale, so my Mum and I picked out some card toppers very inexpensively. I had quite a quiet birthday but it was nice to have a cake with close family, and receive some lovely things.

Have I given you any gift inspiration?

Do you like to ask for books on your birthday too? :-) Xx

Birthday Present Haul 2018

Hi to my lovely readers. Today I’m coming to you with what presents I received for my birthday. I got a few surprises but mainly the things here I chose myself and my Mum kindly put them away until my birthday. My brother did particularly well this year with the surprises he got me, such as the Pukka tea, Thornton’s biscuits and Galaxy chocolate spread. I actually ended up making butterfly cakes to share using the galaxy spread which went down well.

What’s a birthday without a few books plus all the ones I asked for were sequels to titles I loved. I’m currently reading Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling and so far it’s very good. Luckily I’m all stocked up on shower gels now, and I’m excited to try the shower milks by Original Source as I’ve seen them on a few other blogs previously. I’m currently using the Superdrug avocado and strawberry shower gel, shown here which smells so incredible, I recommend it!

I haven’t had an Escada perfume in so long so I forgot how good the fragrance is but it’s one of my favs. While visiting a café and gift shop with my parents, I ended up getting this scarf and a few craft bits. The scarf doubles up as a blanket and I’ve already worn it on cool evenings. We had a birthday cake from Aldi and it was really nice too. I was thankful for a lovely birthday and all the things I got.

I hope you enjoyed the blog post. 

Let me know if it sparked any gift ideas. 

Have a great day! :-) Xx
