What did you get for Christmas (2023)? 🎄🎉✨

[.: Meri :.]

My Christmas haul for this year!! ;v;
From my parents:
-Froggy hat
-Sitting Cuties Golurk plush
-Volumes 102, 103, & 104 of One Piece (really need to finish reading volume 100 oops)
-Dragon Quest Treasures
-Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince

And from my grandparents:
-2 throw blankets
-4 pairs of really soft socks!
-A black lacy hairband
-Indigo & oak room/linen spray (I quite like the scent too!)
-50 glitter gel pens yessssss
-Black cat sleep mask
-Assorted kitty hairclips (there's a really pretty opal-looking one, two different brown marbled ones, a solid black one, and a marbled black/dark gray one!)
-Star-shaped fairy lights that I'm super excited to put up aaaaa
-A nice grey scarf
-Some assorted teas!

I also got spending money from my parents, aunt, and grandparents, which I've put towards a few treats, permanently removing ads/doubling rewards in Usagi Shima, a chonky tiger family plush set, Pokémon Scarlet + DLC, and the Jack Jeanne Complete Collection artbook!! The artbook isn't expected to arrive until early February, so hey maybe I'll have actually finished the game by then I've actually still got some left over somehow?? I'll hold onto it for a while to see if anything must-have pops up for me, but otherwise I think I might use it for secondhand merch + maybe some commissions??

Spoiler: chonky tigers!!

i love them

We have the other half of our Christmas next weekend still. But so far I was given chocolate chip cookies, hersey kisses, teriyaki beef jerky, and some money. The money is going toward fish stuff I bought except, I think I'm going to use some of it to also buy one game... Trying to decide between Dave the diver or moonstone island. Insight is welcomed.

I got a shirt that's way too small and not anything I would wear and a box of cake mix that was expired. (Pretty sure they just grabbed stuff in the house to declutter and act like they were giving me something lmao) I'm not going to put much effort into them anymore. Might give them a giftcard next year or just regift them the cake and shirt.

My sister got me Super Mario RPG and just now my other sister showed up to give me Pikmin 4 and Detective Pikachu. I didn't know I was getting any of those games so it was a cool surprise. I made their gift and it was cool project. I'll show pictures of the process later. These gifts were memorable, but so was the thoughtless gift for the wrong reasons lol.

Who gave you the shirt and the expired cake mix? They might as well have given you a lump of coal or nothing at all, like goddamn

 

[Oblivia]

A lot of you are aware of my affinity for oddities and strange antiques after seeing my CItB props, and I got the coolest thing yesterday that I wanted to share. It's a fairy assemblage shadowbox made entirely using antique or vintage textiles.

I am absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone. I am so grateful but whilst I am grateful for the presents, what makes Christmas so special to me is the company. I spend Christmas with my partners parents and this year was a little different as we had a new addition to the family he is only 4 months old but getting to cuddle him and hear him giggle made my day

Looks like everyone else was spoiled too!

I got some money from my dad, but because I don't use physical cash anymore I passed it onto my mum to put towards shopping instead. Aside from that I didn't get anything and I'm more than happy with that as it takes out the annoyance of "filler presents" and the potential for being disappointed if you don't get what you hoped for.

 

[Shawna]

Sweaters, under garments, and a lot of money ^_^
