my family isn't huge into gift giving so my presents are much less than most people I know but, I got a set of alcohol markers (not an expensive one), a shoulder bag (again not expensive) and a book. I'm happy with my gifts though and I'm happy I have my family around me and I don't value presents above my time with them.
My husband went above and beyond this year! He normally doesn't get me this much.
From my husband:
- A new bookcase to hold all my overflow books
- A boxset of the next 3 books in the Wheel of Time series (#7, 8, & 9)
- Two sloth t-shirts, one has representations of all 4 Hogwarts houses in sloth form
- A $20 Nintendo eShop gift card specifically intended to buy Lonesome Village which I've already purchased
- A bag of Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark
- A bag of Candy Cane Hershey's Kisses
- A beautiful figure of Shalltear from the anime Overlord
From my family and in-laws:
- Money
- Clothes
- Amazon Prime subscription renewal
From a friend:
- A funny Tom Nook mug (*updated with photo*)
- A trio of Animal Crossing figures

- Very cute kitty pen and a cat mug
- Two lip balms (honey and lavender!)

I got many things I’ve been needing. I had made an Amazon wishlist with just house necessities and that’s what I got. I’m starting gato finally decorate and fill my new house with things and I really needed these.

Little can stop the sun and moon from thier dance.
Beyond doing the other half of our Christmas this past weekend, I decided to make a purchase with some of my gift money last night so I thought I could share that here.
I purchased a book about solitaire. Since I have been learning one player card games to help with stuff... I thought it might be worth getting a book. It is an old book, so it is used, but supposedly it $6 and was in good condition without highlights or notes scribbled in it so I am pretty happy. Some of the reviews mentioned there were some games in it that they haven't heard of before and others said that it was their favorite one player card game book out of all the ones they have purchased or read. I know a handful that I written down on paper but this book supposedly has 150 so that will be fun to explore when it gets here
Also I recently discovered a solitaire game called flower garden on youtube that looks like fun, but I haven't gotten around to writing it down on paper or drawing the set up for it. So it would be nice if it happens to be in that book so I won't have to then.

my dad has that on his ps5!! it looks so cute
Late to the game but I got some crocs on sale and gummy bear jibbitz. I've always wanted crocs because they're really easy to slip on and off and are ok to get water on, which means I can slip them on and check the mail or take the trash out when there are puddles outside. I definitely... fist pumped and had a little happy dance for them. The gummy bear jibbitz make a world of difference and I freaking LOVE my crocs. I'm pretty sure middle school me would be cringing at my crocs love but hey...

I got a necklace! I was really surprised by it, it's really nice.
From family I just bought my own gifts haha. I'm counting my tickets for a drag show and M+G here (with queens from RPDR) as a present from my parents, maybe I'll get a clothes steamer soon and say that's what my sister got me. Since I couldn't physically see my family for Christmas I kind of let Christmas come and go without setting "real" presents for the money I got. But I did buy them presents!
