What I Got for Christmas 2016

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I've been seeing a lot of "What I Got for Christmas" vlogs lately and am really enjoying their ridiculousness. Who knew people want to see what junk other people got? But seriously, it's sort of entertaining to see what people like:) In that light, I would like to introduce to you my Christmas 2016. Hope you enjoy seeing my junk:)

Firstly, I'll show you a few things I got in my stocking.

These are some of my candies. (I'm not showing you the ones I've already half eaten and are in the cupboard) the Chocolove xoxox is one of my very favorite chocolate bars. I don't normally go for chocolate bars; except maybe Hershey's. I'm pretty basic when it comes to candy. So when I found a "fancy" chocolate I liked, I was pretty excited.

Also, that Trader Joes Firework's bar? don't laugh it off. Seriously, my mom tried a piece of it and there was a mini explosion, it nearly started a house fire and she nearly choked to death. Try and your own risk.๐Ÿ”ฅ


Next, I got this Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick. Burts Bees is Cruelty-Free (not vegan) and a Leaping Bunny approved company (although I think they have a parent company). I have been slathering this stick on my face and back like crazy the last week and I am pretty sure I'm seeing an improvement on my um.... large red freckles.


One thing that is no secret about yours truly is I LOVE pugs. Pugs are the best. Who could not like that hideous, wrinkly ball of ugly? (Ok like everyone I know but who cares). My Aunt and Uncle have two of those adorable, stupidly cute globs and I have always wished I could own one. Oh wait, now I do.



Okay, Moving on from the stocking stuffers. Another thing I love and collect is nutcrackers. See the little green guy in the middle? That is the one I got this year. He's a vintage cracker and I just think he is awesome. 
Oh P.S this isn't my whole nutcracker collection. Oh no. I still have at least 5 mini ones that are all hanging out on the Christmas tree. If you want, head over to my YouTube Channel to see my full collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol_NBdnOeI4


Staying with the toy theme (Because what is the point of Christmas if you don't pretend to be 5 again?) I got this Funko Pop 10th Doctor figurine. (which actually says it is only for ages 14+ lol) 

 He's really cute:) And of course, I already have the full sized 10th doctor sonic, Tardis alarm clock, Tardis Yahtzee and Tardis throw blanket. I think I maybe collect too much junk.... but you can't have enough Doctor Who stuff- can you?

Probably the most useless thing I asked for this year is this mini Rubix Cube. I asked for it because I couldn't figure out the normal one. I've already messed this one up and can't fix it. Go figure๐Ÿ˜ 

Taking a break from toys, I got this lovely moleskin notebook, which I am happy to announce is not actually made from the skin of moles (or the skin of anyone else for that matter). This moleskin is vegan, made out of cotton "oilcloth" whatever that is. 
Sorry about the photo quality, my SD card basically ate my pictures and I had to download a whole recovery program just to get them back.


Thanks to my wonderful sister I got these lovely airmail envelopes. I've always wanted some because they look so awesome in movies and everywhere else you see airmail envelopes. They are stripey and wonderful๐Ÿ˜

Also sister goodies, I got this Ancor Wax Seal to go with my envelopes, and last but not least of her generosity was an AMAZING wooden rat stamp made by Rubber Hedgehog. I had been wanting one of their stamps for SO LONG and she got it for me without even knowing that. Sisters have psychic links man. 


 It looks like the boys!


Normally getting socks for a present is boring. I don't care much about my socks, and generally, don't care what they look like.  They are all in one great pile in my drawer (correction; two great piles, because I do sort long and short socks (only because my ankles started getting cold in the winter though)) also, I never match them up. Despite this, these socks kinda rock. they are cool colors, I can mix match them all I want, and look, look at the Ghibli characters! look at the mini Howl look at the mini Sofie!๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—




Next,  I show you this awesome little book of postcards I got from my Yiayia. I LOVED the Fantastic Beasts movie. I now have a new favorite HP character. Newt Scamander. Anyways, these cards are very nice, and good for those not-so-artistic-days when I would rather color than make a whole drawing.

Also from my Yiayia, I am so excited to get some vests. They are family heirlooms (sort of?) that she was lovely enough to tailor so they would fit an 18-year-old girl instead of a something-year-old dude. 
๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„Random happy trees!

Ok, stay with me, we are almost, almost done here. and I promise the last thing on this list is an exciting one. 
I got these three movies, which I'm ecstatic about because I love Audrey Hepburn. 
Breakfast at Tiffanys, Roman Holiday and Love in the Afternoon are just some of her good movies, although they are some of the best. If you haven't watched them, you must, MUST. That is if you like old sappy movies๐Ÿ˜„



Next, thank you to my wonderful friend and penpal from Japan (you know who you are) for my beautiful Christmas gift. It's so wonderful. Japan has so many awesome things. This little Christmas tree is collapsible and all the little ornaments are removable (even the star topper). This may very well be one of the bestest things I've gotten ever. ever. ever.

Okay, the Big Finale now. The thing you have all been waiting for. 
It's a bird, its a plane, its- a cardboard box? 
No silly it's a Love Goodly Subscription Box! They are a smaller subscription box company that delivers vegan, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly products to the recipient every other month. I am totally beyond words excited to try out all the new vegan/cruelty-free products. Best of all, I will be doing an unboxing on this blog; and as well I  hope to review all the items I get when time permits (Because school is about to start back guys๐Ÿ˜) Anyways, hope you enjoyed my "What I got for Christmas"๐ŸŽ„ and also hope you enjoyed YOUR Christmas and/or other holiday whatever it was.



Thanks so much for tuning in. 

Peace. Love. Rats.♥
