Christmas Twenty Ten

I thought it was about time I shared some of my favourite presents with you as i've been loving seeing what everyone else has been getting! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas surrounded by your friends and family; mine was really relaxed and just like any other Christmas. I made the most of it though as next year i'm hopefully heading to uni so things are going to be a little different. Anyway, back to the point of this post, here are my Christmas present favourites...
The Pink Cow Vanilla Biscuit and Ginger Bread Shower Gels. 
These smell amazing! I already have far too many shower gels but these really are perfect additions to my collection and I can't wait to start using them.

Boss Orange Perfume. 
When it comes to perfume I can never decide which ones I like best but when I saw that this was on offer at Boots I dropped lots of hints to my mum and they certainly paid off! I love citrussy orange scents and this is lovely and not too overpowering. It also came with a gorgeous scented candle which I can't get enough of!

Accessorize Jewellery Tree
I've been wanting something cute to store my jewellery on for a while so when I saw this in Accessorize I knew I had to have it for Christmas. I've only put earrings on it so far; i'm not sure if i'll put any necklaces on it as it might look a bit overcrowded. To be honest I just like it because it looks pretty in my room, I don't really mind that I can't put much on it ;)

Burt's Bees Hand Set.
Its become a bit of a tradition for my mum to buy me some Burt's Bees products for Christmas so I was really pleased to get this. I love the little box it comes in and the Almond Hand Creme smells good enough to eat. 

Lush Secret Santa.
I think everyone should get a little piece of Lush for Christmas as it just makes the perfect present. Satsumo Santas have become a firm favourite of mine as they make the whole house smell really citrussy and the bath water goes bright orange. I usually use a whole one at once as I love how much it fizzes!

Mischa Barton Bag.
This is my favourite present, I absolutely love it! I saw this a few months ago and loved it but forgot about it so when I opened the wrapping paper it was such a nice surprise! It's the perfect size and shape with a really long strap which is perfect for me and it has the most beautiful purple lining inside. It has two parts to it which is really useful and I love the quirky zip fastening.
