My Christmas Wishlist | Blogmas #10

Hi lovelies! I hope you've all had a fabulous weekend. Yesterday, I went out on a night out with my friends for the first time in a while! I had a really good time and although alcohol really don't mix well with me, for once I didn't have as bad a hangover as I usually do, which was awesome! I very nearly didn't get a post up for you guys today, because I'm absolutely exhausted! But I was determined to get something up so for Blogmas Day 10, I'm sharing my Christmas wishlist with you all :) This was actually a pretty tough list to put together, as there's not much that I want right now that isn't only sold in America (not much chance of those arriving by Christmas!), and some things I'm lusting after at the moment have not even been released yet, like the TokiDoki Unicorno Series 6 figures! However, there are still some things that I would absolutely love to get for Christmas, and I hope that you enjoy reading about them!




1. The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon Bedding If you know me well, you'll know that I am a complete fangirl when it comes to Daryl Dixon, and because of The Walking Dead I am now also obsessed with the actor behind the character, Norman Reedus. He's gorgeous and if you don't agree, then you're wrong :p haha! I would love anything TWD related for Christmas, but especially if it's Daryl Dixon merch. It breaks my heart that I won't ever be sharing a bed with Mr Dixon himself... so this bedding is the next best thing, right? XD


2. Pusheen The Cat With Doughnut Plush I have wanted a Pusheen plushie ever since I fell in love with this adorable chubby cat, however after receiving a mini plush of her in my Autumn Pusheen Box (you can see what else I got inside the box here), I now have a mighty need to get a bigger version. It was such great quality and super soft too. I love donuts so this is my favourite Pusheen plush, next to the Pusheenosaurus one! 


3. Black Sequin Christmas Robin Jumper I would love to get a new Christmas jumper to wear on Christmas Day and throughout the rest of December's festivities, and I really liked my last Christmas jumper from Yours Clothing. It was very cosy and pretty flattering as far as Christmas jumpers go, which is something that I find is usually not the case when it comes to plus size jumpers, so I was super happy about that! This robin jumper is cute and I like that it's black, because well, black is my favourite colour to wear :) 

4. Funko Mystery Mini Horror Classics Series 2 If you've been following me for a while now, you'll know that I am both a horror fan and a collector of Funko Mystery Mini figures. They come in blind boxes and I absolutely adore them! Back in October, I finally started collecting the Series 3 Horror Classics figures after wanting to for a long while, and I am now ready to start collecting the previous series of horror characters too. They are harder to source though, with some sellers charging ridiculous prices for shipping and even the blind boxes themselves :( It would be wonderful if I got one as a gift, any blind box that suited my interests would be a fabulous present for me! 

5. Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette I really really want my own Naked palette! I have wanted one for too long and am yet to buy one! They are all so pretty, and even thought the Smokey Naked palette is the one I have my heart set on the most, this one is on sale until Monday on the Debenhams website. I am very tempted to get myself another early Christmas present!

6. Ikea Moppe Mini Chest of Drawers I am in the process of decorating my bedroom, which is taking ALOT longer than I had hoped but nevermind, at least it's getting done! I would really like some mini drawers to store all of my little crafty bits and pieces, and my small charms and such, and I cannot seem to find a white set that has more than six drawers. Through watching some Youtube videos and reading around on Pinterest, I discovered that lots of people buy these plain Moppe drawers from Ikea then paint them whatever colour they want to suit their aesthetics and/or colour scheme. I would love to get some of these for my bedroom and paint them white to match all of my other new furniture, most of which is also from Ikea.

7. Baby Pink Origami Rabbit Lamp You may have seen me include other lamps of this style from House of Disaster on some of my previous wishlist posts, and that's because I absolutely love them! They have such an awesome design and the fact that they are animals just makes me want them all the more. I recently found out that that Thunder Egg Manchester sell a rabbit version, and I now have a mighty need! It would go perfectly in my new bedroom once it's all finished, and it's just so lovely. If someone bought me this for Christmas, I would be so over the moon!

8. Tofu Cute Christmas Lucky Bag Over the last few weeks, I have been working on a collaboration post with my awesome blogger friend Nat from over at There Might Be Coffee, and this past week, we each shared two Geeky Gift Guide posts, one for girls and one for guys. I'd really appreciate it if you guys would check out her posts on my blog, and head over to her blog to see my posts! Anyhow, whilst I was researching for my gift guides, I came across these fabulous Christmas editions of the Tofu Cute lucky bags. There are various sizes that you can get, and depending on the price you pay, you'll get a mix of however many Japanese or Korean snacks and also some kawaii plushies from the brand Amuse! You also get a really cute drawstring bag too! I neeeeeeed one of these bags for myself! I love surprises and I'm just so curious to see what you'd get for your money! :)

9. Sass & Belle Pastel Peekaboo Bunny I LOVE the products by the company Sass & Belle, especially their homeware ones! They are so cute yet very pretty and more grown-up looking. Not that I personally care if the items I usually go for are deemed as 'childish' but it's nice to see such cutesy items that make great gifts for everyone and also look lovely displayed in your home! Earlier this month, I ordered a Sass & Belle rug to go into my bedroom once it has gone through its makeover, and it made me wanna go have a nosey at any new products they might have (I ordered my rug from an animal rescue centre's store on eBay). I adored these little rabbit ornament as soon as I saw them! a) because I love pastel colours. b) because RABBITS!! c) because I love the whole 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' thing as it reminds me of one of my favourite horror movies by Wes Craven. And d) they are so flippin' sweet! They are sold individually, but I want all three!


It's not long until Christmas now at all! I can't believe how quickly the days seem to be flying by for me this month, and even though we are only 10 days in, I feel like it will be Christmas Day before we know it, or maybe that's just me! Once I've gathered the last few Christmas gifts for my friends & family, I might treat have to get myself some of these items to say Merry Crimbo to myself! You should all treat yourself to something this holiday too :) 

Thankyou for reading! 


What's going on your own letter to Santa Clause this year?

Blogmas Day 18 | Christmas Decoration Wishlist

As you've all probably noticed by now, I'm a bit of a night owl. I've always been this way and could get by easily on a few hours sleep before school and college. Now because of my health conditions, I don't have a regular sleeping pattern and I have a difficult time falling asleep. As a student, I would do all the research for my assignments or make 2am trips to the library on campus but since I'm no longer a student, I blog at night instead. If any of my lovely readers are fellow night owls, I hope you enjoy reading these late night posts! & to the rest of you, I hope you all enjoy reading it tomorrow haha :) My second blogmas post today will feature the Christmas decorations on my wishlist



I love Christmas decorations! They are beautiful and I think it's great that there is so much variety to choose from... different shapes and sizes, colours, styles and materials... something to suite everyone.  What's your favourite decoration colour theme? I love red & gold or red, gold & silver. I prefer traditional style decorations, especially wooden ones. I also really like glass baubles and the way they glow when Christmas tree lights shine on them. Over the last few years, I've fell in love with woodland animal decorations, too. Since I still live at home with my family, I can't decide how our Christmas tree gets decorated so I've purchased a mini tree for my bedroom and I wish I had some of those gorgeous, colourful glass baubles above to decorate it with! When I have my own tree one day, I can imagine it's just going to be filled with an array of different types of decorations, but I think that it will still look awesome! This year I've persuaded my mum to decorate the tree red & gold, and I'll be blogging about our decorations very soon. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thanks for reading!


Do you have a preferred style of decoration? 

I'm really enjoying reading posts about other people's decorations, so if you've done a post on yours please let me know :)

Blogmas Day 11 | Christmas Wishlist


I can't believe there's only 2 weeks left until Christmas! I'm really enjoying the preparation for Christmas Day this year and I'm in such a festive mood all the time! I've almost finished getting all of the gifts for my friends & family and I have a feeling that I may end up buying more and more for everyone just because I've had so much fun wrapping gifts and using pretty gift tags that I don't want to stop haha :) For today's blogmas post, I'm doing my usual monthly wishlist but in keeping with the festive theme, it features the presents I'd love to find under the tree this year. I hope you all enjoy reading. 

I'm really interested in having a go at filling in a journal everyday. I used to keep a diary when I was younger and whenever I was having a bad day, I loved reading about some of my favourite memories because it would always cheer me up. Nowadays, I don't think I'd be motivated everyday to write a massive passage about the events of my day so I thought it would be nice to get a journal/memory book that includes a just a small prompt or a question to fill in each day. Most of them are 3 or 5 year journals which I think is awesome. It will be fun to look back when I've completed the journal and see how life has changed over that time. 

I absolutely love the Urban Decay Naked smoky palette! I've always prefered greys and browns when it comes to eyeshadow and this palette includes some lovely colours. My favourite are 'Dagger' & 'Whiskey'. I really hope I can get one of these soon. I've wanted 'Be Jeweled' by Vera Wang since I saw it in Debenhams; I really like the lovely fruity smell of it. How cute is the owl purse from New Look? I'm in need of a little purse for when I'm just quickly popping to the shops and don't want to take my big purse with all my cards in, and I think this would be perfect. I love clip purses. 

One of the anime series that I've loved watching since I was around 7 years old is Dragon Ball Z and my favourite character was always Vegeta. As soon as I found out Funko had released some Dragon Ball Z Pop! figures, I've been on the look out for this one. I searched at Manchester Comic Con and I was sad that I couldn't find it, so it would be great if I got my own little Vegeta for Christmas. I would also love one of these gorgeous Alice in Wonderland white rabbit mugs. I just think it's so pretty and looks like a nice big mug for me to fit lots of tea or coffee in! 

Earlier this year, one of my flatmates recommend we watched Divergent because she really enjoyed it and knew I would too. She was right... I thought it was a great movie which means it's likely a fantastic book so before watching the 2nd movie I'd like to read all the books. A few weeks ago my best friend told me to look up Jeffree Star lipsticks because it came in some really bright colours. There's definitely some stunning colours that I'd love to try, especially in the liquid lipstick range. I've never actually heard of liquid lipstick before (I'm still not the most knowledge when it comes to makeup haha) but the Jeffree Star one has intrigued me as it dries matte and lasts for hours. I loved the description of this colour on the website, 'The colour of crushed berries on ice'. I'm very into berry lipstick shades.

I've been so envious whenever I've seen instagram posts of people's new Disney Vans because they are just so cool! It was difficult to choose a favourite design, but I've decided on the Cheshire Cat pair. These are at the top of my Christmas list & my mum has hinted about them a few times and I'm really excited to see if I've got them! *fingers crossed* The final item on my Christmas wishlist is a Tokidoki Unicorno Blind Box. Lately, I've really enjoyed watching unboxing videos of Tokidoki Blind Boxes which has fueled by new obsession with Unicornos, especially the ones in Series 3. I love surprises so I think the idea of these mystery boxes is fantastic. 


Thankyou for reading!


What's on your Christmas wishlist?
