21st Birthday Gifts

My Birthday Presents #3 Random

1:20:00 pm


These are all my presents that dont fit into the Beauty, Clothes or Jewellery categories.  Even though my birthday was a good few weeks ago now I still want to share with you what I got as I was just extremely lucky and feel that If I cant show all you lovely people what I got who can I show.
You have a look at my Beauty Presents HERE and my Clothes and Accessories Presents HERE
 
 Now on first looks you may not have a clue what this is but believe me it is one of the most thoughtful and heartfelt presents I have EVER recieved.  My best friend Erin has got a star named after me in the Libra Constellation.  I am very much into astrology and read my horoscopes every single day.  The meaning behind this present is what means the most, my dear Grampa passed away in August and with this star being named after me Erin thought that it would be comforting knowing a little part of me was closer to my Grampa in the stars.  I really cannot thank Erin for this lovely gift it is perfect.
 
 When people kept asking me what Id like for my birthday, all I told them was things with 21 on them.  I love all the glasses, photo albums, keyrings with important ages on because they are great to keep.  Luckily I recieved lots of these type of things so im delighted. Im such a hoarder I keep EVERYTHING, so these will all be kept til im old and wrinkly.
 
The Monday before my birthday my old BB curve died a very painful cracked screen death, safe to say I was devastated,not just because I rely on it to stay in touch with the world but I had irreplaceable pictures on it that I could no longer access.   I walked to work that day completely lost without it, couldnt wait to finish work and go home and just feel sorry for myself really.  Cue the best boyfriend EVER! Adam walked into our bedroom with a phone shaped box, and to my absolute delight it was the updated model of my BB curve.  I am loving this phone soo much, its 10 times better than the one I had before and I was able to get all my pictures and music from my old phone too!
 

These are definately the best scented candles you will ever come accross.  Busy Bee Candles are the nicest scented candles I have ever found, I love the quirky scent names, the colours, the different types of candles.  This time I made a massive order with my birthday money because there was a 30% off code to use.  My favourite out of this batch are Baby Powder, Marshmallow Delight and Peach Cobbler. In my package I also recieved 2 free wax tarts as Budy Bee Candles were aware it was my birthday and also a 25% off code that myself and friends can use until January! Enter BBCXMAS1 at the check out at http://www.busybeecandles.co.uk/ to recieve this offer. I will be making an order before Chirstmas so the house can smell festive with all the Christmas themed candles.  I have reviewed some scents before you can read that HERE
 





 I received this lovely chocolate bar from my little cousin Charlotte, I still havent eaten it because its personalised and probably never will.  Everything else I purchased from the Selfridges food hall, I love all the sweets and chocolate from around the world and even though they are a bit more expensive they are soo worth it.

Next week I will be sharing my most exciting Birthday presents, the jewellery I recieved.  All I will say is Blue and white box!

Lots of Love

21 at last :)

1:53:00 pm


Woohoo Im 21 at last.
 
I had such a lovely day for my birthday, nothing fancy just a chilled day with my boyfriend and his parents.
I went down stairs in the morning to find the table filled with baloons, cards and presents I was soo delighted.  After opening all my presents myself and Adam watched films and chilled until I heard his mum call us down the stairs, she had made a full on party buffet for us four complete with a Birthday Cake!!  After stuffing my face until I could physically not move we watched more films and I though that was all my surprises done for the day.  I was wrong I was soo surprised that adam had got some chinese lanterns, such a special end to a lovely day. 
I just want to make sure every single person who sent me a card, present or money knows how greatful I am to recieve such lovely gifts and cards, you have all made my birthday as special as it can be.
 I am going to do a couple of posts to show you all my presents, one for beauty products, one for clothes, one for miscellanious and one for jewellery so look out for those in the next couple of weeks.

Have a lovely Saturday!
 
Love

Birthday Wishlist - 21st

12:00:00 pm


I am Super excited, there is no way I am going to sleep tonight because tomorrow I am 21, I have always been excited about my 21st for no reason in perticular other than its the last special birthday before the big three zero.   Along with the excitement comes worrying because what if all the hype for a 21st birthday is just that, what if its just like any other birthday. Im sure my family and friends will do there best to make it as good as can be.
I would like to make sure everyone is aware that I would be happy with any presents and cards that I recieve these are just things I have been lusting over and will be purchasing with any money I recieve, I have also been selling things on ebay to raise funds for a birthday shopping trip next Saturday.
I have already recieved a present from my boyfriend, the Blackberry 9320, he gave this to me early as my phone died and went to phone heaven on Monday night so obviously it would have been cruel to have me without a phone for a week.(hehe)

Id love either of these charms as its something I will keep forever and ever.

I have wanted to try the stippling brush from the  Real Techniques range for ages now but Im sure I wont just stop at one.

Jinkksy Jinkksy Jinkksy need I say anymore I love all of the summer stackers and even though this was from the summer range it will be perfect with a lot of jewellery I have.

 I have recently stepped into the world of Soap and Glory and after smelling this in Boots its the perfect fresh daytime scent.
 
 I have wanted this since seeing it reviewed and how could I not with this elegant packaging
 
 
 
 
 
 
 This is all im really really wishing for but im sure as soon as I hit the shops I will come home with lots more:)

lots of love
