I receive clothes every year for my birthday, and this year was no different. I spotted this dinosaur printed t-shirt in River Island ages ago, and my Mum remembered I liked it so decided to buy it as a little present. I also loved this Blue Polar Bear jumper from New Look, as it is would keep me lovely and cosy in the winter, and is perfect for taking to New York. This tartan scarf(New York) and cosy black gloves(Boots) that I also received will be coming with me to New York as well.
I love snuggling up in a throw in Winter, as they are so warm and cosy. This light grey one is super soft, with one side fleece and the other a softer material, perfect for winter nights in by the fire. To keep me entertained on these winter nights, I also received the new Shopaholic Book "Shopaholic to the Stars" which I am very excited to start reading as I loved all of the others. One of my favourite Disney films ever is The Beauty and the Beast, but I didn't have it on DVD until now, so I can't wait to watch it again. One of the presents my sister got for me is the new One Direction CD "Four" which I am listening to as I write this, and I am loving it!
As a beauty lover, I received a fair few beauty gifts, including this beautiful Smashbox Full Exposure Palette. It has 7 shimmer and 7 matte shades, and is perfect for creating either a day or night makeup look. As well as the CD, my sister also bought me 3 little goodies from Lush. She got me the Snow Angel and Melting Snowman Bath Melt, as well as the Butterball Bath Bomb, all of which I am very excited to use. As my birthday is close to Christmas, I always end up receiving one of the numerous Christmas beauty gifts on offer, and this year was no exception. The Benefit "Cheeky Sweet Spot" blush palette, and the Soap & Glory Glamour Push Gift Set were on my wishlist, as was the OPI Coca-Cola collection, which I also received.
Cadbury is one of my favourite brands of chocolate, so as a little present from my brother, I received the Winter Wonderland Festive Chocolate Bar. A completely random gift, but one that I absolutely love is this Cake Pop making kit, which is actually Harry Potter themed, so you can create cake pops adorned with broomsticks and wizard hats. As I am a massive Harry Potter fan, I can't wait to have a chilled out Sunday afternoon making these.
These are probably the most special gifts I received for my birthday, as a lot of thought was put into them. I love this 100 year diary "My life story" as you can document your whole life to look back on in years to come. My Mum started this for me, filling in from when she was pregnant with me in 1996, up until I was about 7 years old, as it is the things that I can't really remember. I am really looking forward to filling the rest of this in and treasuring it forever. My parents also bought me this beautiful Swarovski Stardust bracelet, which can be worn doubled up on the wrist as a statement, sparkling piece of jewellery. Lastly, ever since the first time I visited a Jo Malone counter, the English Pear and Freesia scent has been my favourite, so I received the fragrance and hand/body wash in the scent. It is my first Jo Malone product, and I have a feeling it will become my signature scent.
I hope you enjoying reading about what I received for my birthday this year, these are one of my favourite posts to read as I love seeing what others receive for their special day
