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! 💋

24 Days of Pressies 2023

 Last year mom and I decided to start our own tradition of giving each other small surprises until Christmas, kind of an Advent calendar thingy.

Last year I showed you what I received (click here if you missed it!), and this year will not be the exception, hehe. 

So, let's do this!

❅ My Christmas Pressies 2022 ❅

I have to say I'm very proud of the Elf on the shelf I made~ hehe.

Here comes my annual Christmas pressies post. We all know I love to make these so, here we are. There might be some things missing tho, cuz I already ate some of the candies or cookies that came with them.

I'm gonna start with the ones I receive at work.

This was the set of pressies I received from the language center. My boss always spoil us. This year she gave us Tequila Don Julio, Turin chocolate, cookies and a nice, personalized tumbler thingy. 

This hand-painted notebook was from one of my fav sudents (maybe I shouldn't say that...hehe. 😅) They are made by ByValdwin.

From left to right: The bracelet was a pressie from my English coordinator. She's the sweetest. The X-mas cup was from a student. It's funny cu it's the first time I've seen my name spelled like that! It's still cute hehe. And the last one is a St. Genéve honey and aloe hand soap from another student. I think I mentioned this before but, since I moved to the apartment, I loooove receiving things for my house.

Lastly we have a bottle of wine. My school always goes for Don simon but, they usually go for the pink one, which I like. This time they decided to go for white wine. Still pretty good. 

Now, let's move on to the ones from my friends and family. 

We're gonna start with some yummies!! Cookies and coffee meringue. 

How cute are these cat paw socks? Plus, they are super soft and warm. Along with the socks, I received these adorable strawberry earrings from Yupilukines

And, we have more candy! The Navi Esfera from Ricolino is filled with different candy, the crocodile is from a Kinder Surprise I ate almost as soon as I received it and then we have my Katsuragi Misato keychain/charm thingy that I'm absolutely in love with. Dunno where to put it yet tho.

This is a pretty fun addition to my Sailor Moon collection. It is a lego type of thing to make this cute Sailor Moon in a mug. It comes with many small pieces and the instructions. I'll share a post when I finish putting it together.

Bunnies + pink + sakura = Mon! Haha. This adorable mug has everything I love in one.

Mom gave me this pink hiking king of boots. I've already wore them a couple of times (that's why they are a little dirty, hehe) and they are really comfy.

cute socks!

I couldn't take a better pic of this one because, it is too big! But, my dad bought this super soft and warm blanket earlier this year so, he left his x-mas pressie. It'll always be a very special one.

Grandpa gave me these Santa socks along with some money but, I haven't bought anything yet (weird, I know).

Stainless steel bracelet!

It's funny because mom gave me this sweater and I gave her the same one but it a different color. We just loved them! 

And there you go guys. I realized this is also the last post of 2022. Hope 2023 will be better for everyone! See you next year!!
