Secret Santa ft. My Friends
Saturday, December 26, 2015
With Christmas having only just passed, I thought (and I’m pretty
sure my friends suggested it) that I would do a post on the ‘Secret Santa’ my
friends and I did. It was kind of Secret Santa with a twist; because there are
4 of us (Molly, Jade, Grace and I), we thought we’d all pitch in and buy one
another a funny present and a serious present. This was seriously the best
idea, even though we’ve only known each other for a few months (a part from
Grace and I who have been friends since primary, 12 years strong holla),
because we’ve started getting to know each other for about 4 months, we all
know what we like, what we don’t like etc. Which is why, everyone’s presents
turned out to be amazing for each other!
For Molly, we got her a Mac Demarco vinyl that she had no idea we
were getting her but we had known she really wanted it. This was the first
present anyone opened and I swear, tears were almost shed it was such a cute
happy moment lol. The funny present we got her was a ‘Grow Your Own Boyfriend’,
this was hilarious because we always joke about wanting boyfriend (even though
we’re strong, independent women who don’t need no man). It was hilarious
hinting to Molly what we got her because we convinced her we’d bought her a
rude present that she couldn’t open in front of anyone hahah.
For Grace, we bought her this really cute adult colouring book
that helps with relaxation and chill time, which we really hope she enjoys and
colours some absolute masterpieces to send in the group chat lol. We’d also got
her these HUGE elf slippers which were sooo funny but soo cute! You can see in
the photos just how big they are, she said they were really comfy though which is
obviously a good thing lol. We were planning on getting her the children elf
slippers but me being the idiot I am, went to get them when they’d sold out and
instead had to get the men’s slippers lmao (Grace still really liked the
present thank God haha). So, to make up for my little ‘mistake’ I got this cute
little friendship bracelet kit as part of her funny present. It was funny
because we all ended up making the friendship bracelets and now we have a
symbol of our friendship to wear upon our wrists lmao <3 no but seriously
they look like really cute 90’s friendship bracelets, I love it!
For Jade we got her a reaaaally pretty makeup bag set which was
black and had a floral print. Jade’s makeup always looks insanely good, even
when she says she did it in like 10 minutes, she looks amazing! So that was a
really good present idea for her along with the funny present which was a lavender
candle with photos of her that Molly printed out and stuck on. Jade’s known for
going to insane candle parties so this was the perfect idea for our candle
party loving friend hahah. She was like “People are gonna think I’m so weird if
they see I have a candle with my face all over it.” Which is hilarious because
now everyone who reads this is going to know :) love u girl, you’re welcome xx
As for my present, as you obviously know, I really enjoy blogging
and one day I hope to become a journalist. Whether it be writing a blog,
writing for a magazine, as of now, anything of the sort. So my friends bought
me a beautiful journal, handmade from India. It’s blue and gold and seriously, I’m
in love with it. They said I can write all my blog ideas in it which is so
adorable, I wanted to cry it was the sweetest things. Especially considering I was
so nervous to start this blog and having my friends stand by me and even have
my blog as an app on their phone’s is the best thing (shout out to my friends,
u da best). And then came my funny present… I seriously can’t even write about
what it is without risking being known as a stalker. It’s absolutely hilarious
and I WISH I could just tell everyone how funny it is but I can’t without it
being risky as hell hahaha. They’re probably reading this and laughing. I hate
them (jk).
After exchanging gifts, we watched films (Bratz and The Holiday),
ate shit loads of popcorn and made friendship bracelets together. If that doesn’t
scream coolest/no.1/best friendship group, I don’t even know what does hahah.
This has definitely been one of the best Christmas’ thanks to my
friends and family. I couldn’t ask for better people to have around me!
Anyways, that’s it for this post and I hope you enjoyed reading
about how my friends and I celebrated Christmas Eve Eve together haha. Maybe this
can inspire you with ideas on what you and your friends can do next Christmas (even
though it’s 364 days away lol) or even just for celebrating anything.
Let me know in the comments or tweet me some of your favourite
gifts this Christmas, or your favourite ways to spend Christmas with your
family!
Thanks again for reading!
