My Christmas Pressies 2024 🎁

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. For me it was pretty good. Honestly, I think I enjoyed it more than other years. We had delish food, drank a lot and sang karaoke until 4:30am. We also built a gingerbread house for the first time. It was something I wanted to do since forever and, the time finally came. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it'd be and I just loved how it turned out.

Obsessed!

Of course we exchanged some pressies and, that's why we're here. I'll share what I received this year cuz you know, it has kinda become a tradition around here, hehe.

Let's do this!!

I'll start with the pressies I received from my boss, she always spoils us.

From left to right: X-mas reusable cup with a cute topper, butter cookies and tequila Don Julio.

She also gave us this box with cute small soaps in holiday shapes. They smell really good.

I have to admit that since most of my classes are online now, I do kinda miss receiving pressies from my students. Maybe that's one of the few things I miss about working in a school.

The bestie gave me some Pop Tarts that I love so much. I got s'mores pop tarts and a cute sakura hand cream.

Mom gave me 2 sweaters. The first one is this pastel blue fuzzy sweater. It is super soft and perfect for this cold weather. I looooove the color.

The other one is this silver sweater. I know it is not the best pic but, I love the puffy sleeves, it is a cute detail to it.

My sister gave me this NERV hoodie. I'm a big Evangelion fan and I always wanted something like this. It is already full of cat hair in the pic cuz I already wore it. Oops, cat mom problems.
It is a little oversized, which makes it super comfy to wear.

Lastly, we have this Gilmore Girls fill in book. In this family, we are bog GG fans so, it was a cute and fun gift. 

Really bad and blurry picture but, my babies also received some pressies. 💖

And, there you go guys, my pressies this year. I also received other yummies but, I already ate them. 

This will be the last post of 2024. Thank you for taking the time to read my (sometimes) very random posts, thoughts and obsessions! 🩷

Hope we all have a happy and magical 2025! 🌠

Apartment 07 | My Christmas Mugs & Cups |🎄

Months ago I shared some of my favorite pink cups & mugs around here and, in my head, I was going to do that with the seasonal ones I have but, I completely forgot to do it on Halloween so, yeah. 

But we're doing it now, I'm sharing my small collection of Christmas cups & mugs. Honestly I don't have too many Chrsitmas things and most of these cups have been presents. I had to get rid of some when I moved but I'm sure the collection will grow with time.

Let's start in no particular order~

🎄Snowman mug

Out of the Christmas mugs I have, this is the first one I've bought and it's also the newest one. Last week, I bought matching mugs for me, my sister and mom and had them over to drink hot ponche, use the mugs and then everyone could theirs home. I like, not only because it is obviously cute but also because it's pretty big. Perfect for coffee in the morning.

🎄Stainless steel Christmas cup

This is one of my oldest ones. I received it as a gift from a student I think. I'm almost sure, hehe. The design is pretty simple, yet cute. It has a retro vibe to it 

Since it is small, I use it for tea or even eggnog, it's too small for my morning coffee. The only thing i don't like about it is that, since it's made of stainless steel, it gets super hot with the drinks.

🎄Message mug

Even tho the message is not super Christmassy, it is a seasonal mug with holly plant thingies around the "Be Awesome Today & Everyday" quote. 

This was a gift from my sister back in 2018 when I came back from Spain. It is a pretty big and heavy mug that I started using a lot more this year. 

🎄Dallas Cowboys Christmas Mug

So, some of you might already know this, thanks to my dad, I am a Dallas Cowboys fan. Years ago, one of my former students went to the Dallas Cowboys stadium and bought this one for me. It's pretty simple and clean but still pretty and festive. Size is pretty good too.

🎄Santa & snowman red cups

And lastly, we have these two. I think one is my mom's but I'm not sure which one. They were also presents from students. I don't really used them much because they are pretty small. Then again, maybe for tea, eggnog, ponche~ 

Right now they're just decorating my coffee station.

And, that is it! My small collection. I also have some reusable cups, tumblers and mason jars I didn't include here. Let me know if you'd like to see them too.

See you next time~!🤍

My Christmas Pressies 2023 🎁

 Here comes my annual Christmas pressies posts, hehe. I just love making these. This time I tried to take a pic every time I received something so I could show you everythig. You know, sometimes I eat the candy before sharing the post so, yeah.

Let's start with work:

From left to right: Delish cinnamon cookies made by one of my coworkers, a beautiful 2024 planner and a mug, both in this beautiful baby pink color. They were from one of my students, I think they know me too well, hehe. Lastly we have a card holder with my name. This was also from a student.

As every yeah, my school gives us a bottle of Don Simon wine. I'm glad I got rose wine, it's my fav.

These are from the language center: I received cookies, a mug that changes color with hot water and a bottle of Bailey's

Now let's move to the pressies from my friends and family:

This were pressies I reveived in an exchange: A bottle of Trivento Reserve rosé malbec, a black beannie and cute, warm socks.

 

The bestie gave me a bergamot candle, a Coca-cola lip smacker, some candy and a set of  wireless microphones for my videos.

From the exchange with my friends I got  cozy, warm pj's, anime stickers and facemasks.

That same day, my other friend gave me this super cute Sasuke. You know, I just love him, hehe. The red box had chocolates that are gone now.

Now, I had another exchange with my family, these are the pressies I recieved from my mom. A black fake leather pleated skirt, a cute sweater that looks like candy and a bottle of my favorite rum: Kraken Spiced Rum.

My sister gave me some mint chocolates that I love and I included other chocolates we received at the Xmas dinner.

Grandpa gave me a card and some money. I haven't spent it yet tho, I think I will end up buying something pretty for my house.

These were not for me but i still want to include them here cuz I loved them way too much. The bur babies also had their little exchange and this is what my babies got. They did like it but, I have to say I was the most excited one while opening them, hehe.

And with that, we're done! This is also my last post of 2023, it's crazy how fast this year went by. I really wish 2024 will be a great year for everyone! 💋
