My Christmas Pressies 2025 ๐ŸŽ…

December just flew by, literally! But, I hope you all had a good, happy Christmas. Mine was quiet but fun! I had different small celebrations with my coworkers, friends and family. We ate delish food, had some drinks, played games and, of course, there were pressies. Now, like every year, it is time for me to share the pressies I received this year. Guess this will be our last post of the year too. So, let's do this!

I'm gonna start with a pressie I got for myself, you might have already seen him but, I got the BTVS Spike Funko Pop! I am obsessed with Spike, he's been my big crush since I was a teenager and, I couldn't resist when I saw him. 

I'm counting all the things I received this month as part of my pressies. My mom gave me these goodies for the house earlier in the month. A cute reindeer ornament, a Christmassy kitchen towel and a gingerbread man candle that smells delish!

This year, my boss gave me a Starbucks gift card I haven't spent yet. The Santa Claus cookie (that is already gone) was from one of my coworkers.

With my friends, we had this gift exchange in which we all bought a small something for everyone. We ended up with lots of different goodies including socks, yummies, sunscreen, an enamel pin, instant hot cocoa and even a calendar. It was a successful and fun exchange.

Apart from the exchange some of my friends gave me other cute gifts. A facemask, cherry socks and cherry earrings. 
I included a close up of the earrings so you can see them better. 

Have I mentioned my bestie is super talented? She made these pottery beauties I absolutely love! And you know, we gotta have a little Halloween something.

Closer look. I already hung the pumpkin picture and, I'm obsessed with how it looks.

Mom gave me this Korean doll as an early Christmas gift (it was more like a Yule gift). She's so cute and I love her outfit! I'm super tempted to get her more outfits and accessories to change her every now and then.

I wanted / needed a new bag and, I received it! Mom got it for me. The light is not great here but, it is a dark gray, medium bag. I love it!

Of course, the pressies came with some yummies! 

This year our dinner was held at my sister's house, when we arrived, we had a gift waiting in our places that included this 3 Tres Medallas wine bottle. I love rose wine so, I'm looking forward to opening this one.

Along with the wine, there were these winter booties. We all have matching ones now. They are super warm and comfy and I love the fact that they have a platform!
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

I also received some pretty rings.

I decided to put these two together cuz they kinda belong to the same group. Before Taichou went back to Canada, he left a present and made me promise I'd open it til X-mas. I was a good girl and waited. He gave me the Full Metal Panic! Collectors Edition 3. I cannot! I love FMP so, so much and it's really hard to find merch over here. I can't wait to read it. It'a beautiful, thick and heavy baby. And, my sister made the Spike bookmark, since I'm reading more now, it's the perfect bookmark to have on the books I'm currently reading.

This next part will be all about clothes, I wasn't planning to organize it like that but, it ended up that way, hehe.
Two pairs of jeans I really wanted/needed

And these pants that I'm sure will be fun to style cuz you can dress them up or down easily.

I also received some blouses too ♡

My babies were also spoiled and received some pressies. It makes me happy when they receive new things they can enjoy. They are currently obsessed with the toys.

As every year, I'm very thankful for all these gifts and the friends and family who gave them to me. I might share a little more about some of them in future posts. 
Like I mentioned at the beginning of the post, this will be the last post of 2025 so, thank you so much to those who took the time to read me this year. I wish you a great end of 2025 and a magical 2026.

See you next year!! ⭐

I'm Spoiled! | Pressies from Canada |

A couple of weeks ago, I met my friend and former RP Taichou for the second time this year, he came over with his cousin and we were able to celebrate his birthday together. 

Since he's a dragon lover, I took him to this Dragon expo that, luckily was happening during his stay as a way to celebrate his b-day. The expo wasn't too big but, it was pretty cool and he loved it. Everything was dragon themed, even the gifts we gave him.

This guy here was the highlight of the expo, especially because of Hyorinmaru. (iykyk)

Their visit wasn't too long and we couldn't hang out as much as we wanted because of life and work but it was definitely fun. I hope we can repeat it again soon.
And well, as last time, he brought some pressies. Of course he didn't have to but, I am obssessed so, I wanted to share them around here cuz the guy knows how to keep his lieutenant happy, hehe. Let's do this!

I tried Tim Hortons thanks to him (we don't have it in my city) and loved it ever since so, he brought some vanilla capuccino, on of my favs. So good!

Continuing with the yummies, he gave me some seasonal pastires and cookies from Little Debbie as well as some Canadian cookies. You know how much I love pumpkin stuff and I'm so happy I can continue eating them. I already tried them all and, they are all delish but my favs have to be the Pumpkin Delights.

He also got me a box of Cheetos Mac 'N Cheese, I haven't made them yet but, I'm looking forward to trying them. I think it'll be fun!

So, in my country we got the Fanta Chucky's Punch but the can wasn't this cool, it didn't have Chucky on it and it was smaller, I still got it tho. But I was sooooo happy to receive this one which is way better. I haven't tried it yet, I'm sure the taste will be the same as the one I tried before but, this can is defo becoming a part of my collection.

Not for me, but still food related we have some Churu Bisque for my babies! I love it when my babies receive pressies too. Masha is a fan now.

He also got me a Beetlejuice blind box. I would've been happy with any figure really, cuz I love this movie way too much. I got Lydia wearing the red wedding dress. 

And, I saved the best for last. I mean, not the best best cuz I liked everything but, you know. Now I have a Buffy the Vampire Slayer stationery set. It is perfect! I think I'll get into it a little more in another post because I'm in love with it.

I just love how thoughtful and personal these presents were because, he really pays attention to details, even when he sends me bday pressies. It's the sweetest, this lieutenant is spoiled.
The pressies don't end here tho, I just wanted to kinda divide the gifts cuz his cousin also brought some things, honestly I wasn't expecting him to bring anything. Mainly because it had been the longest time since we last talked and, it was our first time meeting in person. Yet, he did and, then again, this girl is obsessed.

Meet Draco, my new baby boy. How cute is he? He's so round and soft, I can't! He is from the Snackles ZURU Halloween Series, honestly, it's my first time seeing them. I googled them and they are all adorable! The fact that we both are Gemini and share the same birthday made me SO happy. It's a little extra I didn't see coming. Of course he's not going to be a part of my Halloween decoration, he's staying all year round.

Bleach was the thing that brought us together years ago so, these ones are special. Shuhei is one of my main (many) crushes from the show, he's so hot. I'm super excited to read this book! It'll be my next read after I finish what I'm currently reading. And then we have the keychain that came in a blind bag. ♡ 

He bought 4 bags, one for each of us to open together. They both got Ichigo, my sister got Orihime and I got Rukia so, we exchanged them. Orihime is one of my fav female characters and she loves Rukia so, in a way, we were very lucky! They are all so cute tho.

I also received a Canada sweatshirt that I clearly haven't ironed, hehe.

And lastly, we have a cute maple leaf pin that is now with my pin mini collection on my dad's old denim jacket. ♡

And, that'll be the end of this big pressies haul that felt like an early Christmas. All these gifts were super unnecessary but they made this girl happy, hehe. Forever thankful with these loves, hope to see them again real soon.

I'll see you next time~!

Halloween Pressies 2025 ๐Ÿง™๐Ÿป‍♀️

A part of me is still holding on to spooky season, it's still Fall so I think I'm allowed to do it until December arrives, lol. October went by so, so fast but I think I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't do some of the things I do other years but, it felt full of fun activities, places, seasonal food and lots of movies.

 You know Halloween is pretty much like Christmas to me so yeah, we have a pressies post because I gave and recievied some. Plus y'all know I just love to make these posts so, let's just do this!

This was the first pressie I received this year earlier in the month. Sometimes we like to do this things just to celebrate the season. My sister got me the BTVS Tarot Cards and, they are prefect! I want to learn how to read Tarot so, I can't see a better way todo it than with Buffy cards. I might share them more in detail in a future post.

I spy vamps! These goodies were from my mom.

These three items are from the same collection. A Vamp tin, plate and a tumbler. I'm obsessed and I know these will be used all year round, not just in October. The tumbler glows in the dark.

The Dracula book is a kids book, the cutest! We also have a "Vampire venom" container and some yummies that are far gone now, hehe.

The book comes with stickers and a mask.

My spooky mugs & cups collection is slowly growing again and I couldn't be happier! How cute is this ghost one tho? I love how neutral but in your face Halloween it is. (does it make any sense?). It doesn't look too big on camera but, it has a great size for my morning coffee.

My pressies came in the Nightmare Before Christmas Sally bag. It's a reusable bag and, I love Sally. We also have a "boo" sign that decorated my coffee station as soon as I received it and a Day of the Dead candle that I used on the altar for my pets this year.

Lastly, we have a tee! This is defo something I can wear all year round. There's something witchy and magical about it that I just love.
                                             
These two were from my sister. I don't think it shows that much but both, the bag and the box, have spiders on them.

In the black box was this Halloween sweater. I am in love with it, it's spooky and cute at the same time and, it's my first Halloween sweater.

Decorating the bag and the box were these babies, a black cat and a bat. They will be hanging from my bags not only during Halloween season but, all year round. 

The next things I'm gonna show you came in the box. I'll start with these pumpkin, knitted coasters. They are so pretty! I had them on my wishlist for a while and I'm so happy I received them as pressies. 

Halloween Reese's & Kisses in the cutests little pouches.

My first pair of Halloween sleepers ever! They are super soft and warm. I love them!

From left to right: Halloween wish bracelet whch is the cutest thing ever, bat bottle opener and a coffee wooden sign that will go on my coffee station all year.

Closer look to the wish bracelet ๐Ÿฆ‡
These next ones were not part of my sister's pressies, they came later. 
 
Gremlins tee! I didn't have one and this year, I started getting more horror/movies tees. This one is really cute with a flirtly looking Gizmo on it.

During wine nights we also gave some seasonal or themed goodies, like this cute kitchen towel and witch hat cookie.

This adorable knitted ghost was a gift from one of my coworkers/student. It was a very surprising and thoughtful pressie. She also included the 3 skull lollies in the gift.

One of my friends gave me some Halloween stickers. I especially loved the vintage looking ones.

Candy corn hair clip, I get lots of compliments when I wear it. It is so cute!

If you read my last post, I showed you some of the Little Universal Monsters things I bought but, I also received some as pressies. This Frankie & bride water bottle is adorable! I love how this year I got new monsters tumblers and bottles to use all year round. 

And continuing with the Little Monsters, we have a Dracula glass. I love what it says, it's just funny and cute at the same time.

And those are the pressies I received this year. It always feels like Christmas but better, haha. I feel like this year I celebrated the season a lot more than last year.
Of course I also put some Boo baskets and pressies together this year, is one of my favorite things to do!

These were for my mom and my sister, I kept my mom's witchy and my sister's Halloweeney. I included pj's, some themed drinks, snacks, candy and other goodies.

These cauldrons were for my friends. I filled them with Halloween scrunchies, straw tops and pimple patches. They were small but I think they turned out really cute.

And, I think with this post we close the Halloween season around here. Boo! I really hope you all had a fun Halloween and a great spooky season. I know it's pretty much Christmas everywhere by now but, I'm just not ready for it yet.

See you next time~!๐Ÿ’‹
