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 πŸ§™πŸ»‍♀️

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 πŸ¦‡
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~!πŸ’‹

My Birthday Pressies 2025 πŸŽπŸ’œ

We were fooling around with filters and thought this would be perfect for this post, hehe.

As every year, here's my birthday pressies post. My birthday was on a Tuesday this year so I celebrated before and after the actual day because of work. My first celebration was with my family, everything was too pink with spooky activities, perfectly matching my 2 personalities, hehe. We ate, drank a lot and had a great time. On my actual brithday we met for brunch and continued with our working schedules.
The next day, my boss surprised me with a cake at work so, we had another celebration with my coworkers and students, it was really sweet.
And to close birthday week, I met with my besties on Friday and Saturday for lunch and loooooong and very needed catch-ups. It was fun! Plus, I really missed them.

Now let's move on to what I recieved this year, starting with the cakes, of course.

Yum!

Moving on to the pressies, I'm gonna show them in no particular order:

I'm so not religious but, this was one of my favorites. Growing up I had some crosses and I used to wear them "the Buffy way" haha. I got rid of them with time so, it's kinda cool to have one again. And I actually love how it looks when I'm wearing it.

Part of my work is online so, the main idea of having these super pretty headphones is to use them for work, of course, that's not the only thing I'm gonna use them for. The sound is great and I think they make me look cool. A little...πŸ˜…

Sakura socks! How cute are these? I love how the flower peeks depending on the shoes you're wearing.

Sakura cushion and air freshner(?). Cuz you know, I'm a sucker for everything sakura.

This year I also received these two, which was great because I'm kinda putting my office together and also trying to decorate my room. The white shelf is in my room now, it helps me to organize my stuff a lot bettet and decorate it at the same time and the chair is something I needed for work, the one I was previously using wasn't made for work at all and it was very uncomfortable, so I ended up working everywhere around the house but in the office. It's nice to work and have what I need in the same place now.

Cono Sur Bicicleta Merlot. It's a Chilean red wine I haven't tried yet. I really like the presentations and can't wait to try it!

Rangiku Matsumoto Funko Pop! Ain't she perfect? I think I'll dedicate a separate post to her, hehe.

Hello Kitty goodies can't be missed. The pen reminded me of my childhood SO much! The red candle smells like apples and it's delicious! Makes me think of Fall already, hehe. I also received a cute notebook, it has a great size to carry around and a hard cover, which I like.

The orange bag was made by my best friend's son, whom I adore, she put my pressies there so, it was extra special. Can't wait to wear all this pretty socks and let them peek out of my sneakers and stuff.

Yumsies, of course! ♡

The ceramic pieces were made by my bestie and they are defo going to be part pf my coffee station decor. 
I find the ring in the middle witchy and magical, love it!
The Usagi enamel pin represents me, haha.

I also received some Sasuke goodies, 😍 he's my love. It's my first Sasuke tee ever.

Here's a look at both sides of the cup. One side has Sasuke through the years and the other one has Naruto.
Lastly, we have this super pretty sakura mini bowls. I don't think the picture really shows how cute they are in person.

I'm gonna include this here too. My mom and sister prepared goodie bags for us the day of my celebration. Of course it had to have some soju 🀀

And with that, we close this birthday post. This month still feels difficult and I've felt a little emotional because of my dad but, I can't be thankful enough for all the love, surpises, celebrations and sweet messages I received. I'm truly lucky and spoiled. 

See you next time~! πŸ’‹
