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.

Halloween pressie 2023 💀

 I know Halloween is over but, I still have something to show you, hehe. On the weekend before halloween, I had some activities with my friends and family. On saturday, we had a Halloween celebration with my family in which we decided to have a presents exchange. I loved it because, it felt like Christmas! Haha. So I wanted to show you what I recieved and a quick peek into what I gave too.

My sister received a gift from my mom. She included a skull figure, some candy and seasonal cookies and some decoration goodies for her house. I also gave her a small pressie but I forgot to take a pic of it.

And I got mom. Since she doesn't really love Halloween, I tried to include mostly seasonal snacks and drinks and only a couple of actual Halloween goodies. In the end, I really liked how her pressie turned out.

Here's what I put in the bucket (that I'm not showing in the pic...). The bucket reminded me of the Mc D's halloween buckets they had many years ago. The nostalgia!

Now, let's move on to my pressies! 

These are the only pics I took of the pressie before I took everything out. But, you still get the idea of how it looked like.

Now I'll show you what came in the pressie.

Everything came in this bucket, I was so happy to receive one of these too! I really wanted one. It was decorated with a gold fall garland.

First, we have some "Fangs" Cheetos and even tho they are not really a seasonal snack, I love to buy them during this time. They are just perfect!

I also receive this Jack O' Lantern that ligths up with batteries.

Then we have some "pan de muerto"  cookies.

Idk if this is everywhere but here, during Christmas, there is a plastic stocking filled wirh candy and I loooooved the fact that this year they also came out with a similar thing for halloween. This one comes with different kinds of candy.

I also received some cute stationery

and a trick or treat bag that I will be using as a shopping bag all year, hehe

Halloween gummies

I'm in love with these reusable ice cubes.

Witch hat lolli

Chocolate eggies

And, that's my pressie! My mom also gave me a bag full of yummies.

I'm still eating halloween candy and it makes me happy. I wanted to share this before October was over but, life's been super busy lately and I just couldn't put everything together. Anyway, November feels like a transition month to me, from spooky season to Christmas so, I thought I could still share it. Guess with this we officially close Halloween season.

I really hope you had a great month in general and a very happy Halloween! 💀
