Hi everybody!
I’m back again with my annual “What I Got For Christmas” post. & I’m super excited to share with you all what I got! This is my one of my favorite posts to write; I’m not sure what it is with me and my love of knowing what others got for Christmas but I’ve always been this way. Lol. You can always find me a day after Christmas watching WIGFC hauls on youtube. 
This year was different for me and my family. We usually go ALL out for Christmas & always spend more than the average person but with getting engaged a couple months ago, that means wedding planning. And you know weddings are not cheap. So I told my family NO presents this year. Of course, my mom & my fiance’s mom did not listen LOL. As for Henry & I, we gave each other a $100 limit and whatever we got one another had to fit in our stocking. This was very out of the norm for me and had me feeling some type of way. It was kinda weird walking by our Christmas tree & seeing zero presents under. I’m so used to spoiling the heck out of Henry and my family for Christmas but it was also nice to take a break for the intense shopping and of course, this was just another great reminder that this holiday is not about the presents. It’s about the presence! But, it was fun for Henry & I to give each other a limit. Made it more challenging which is something I do not mind when it comes to gift giving.
*DISCLAIMER: This, by all means, is not me trying to “show off” in any way*
I made sure that everything I asked for this year was affordable. As in under $50. To be honest with you, the majority of the things I asked for were $20 or less. I started off with a list of 5 items then Henry asked me to add more so I did. Days before Christmas, he asked again for me to add more! I couldn’t understand why till Christmas day. I realized my mom basically had already bought me everything on my list LOL typical her.
The things I asked for this year were very practical & stuff I would use on the daily like makeup and skincare products. My obsession with beanies and sweater was huge this year so I last minute added those on the list then got a bunch of other small stuff like a game from Henry because we looove to play games. And engagement mug from also Henry bc duh why not. My “niece” got my charms for my charm bracelet which I love getting and ask for every Christmas! & some of my favorite gifts are always the one I didn’t ask for.. like this backpack from my mom that can fold into your pocket. And this pint ice cream coozie from Henry which is so perfect for me because ya girl eats out the pint almost every night. 
This is pretty much everything I got this year & I am in love with every single gift!! I’d LOVE to hear what you got for Christmas this year! Comment down below & tell me some of your favorite items Santa brought you!

Seems like a nice and practical haul this Christmas. I personally used to hate getting clothes for Christmas and definitely don’t like getting stuff. SO Darcee got me some fun travel experiences that mean the world to me. But she also got me some new socks and a pair of new Tennis shoes because she knows I would never buy them for myself unless it was the final straw.
You got so many goodies that are on my wishlist as well! I absolutely swear by the drying lotion. Stops a pimple in its tracks.
That striped pullover may have to make its way into my closet, it looks so comfy cozy! Great list. 🙂
You got some amazing products. I need some new hats I adore everything in your list.
These are such fun gifts! My husband and I don’t exchange gifts. We did get a few gift cards though. My favorite gift was from my husbands cousin and it was for 3 nights of babysitting so my husband and I could go on dates.
THOSE LEGGINGS ARE EVERYTHING! Oh my goodness!! What a great bunch of gifts!
First of all, congrats on your engagement! Secondly, nice haul! I think it’s a great idea to put a limit and find cute, little things that fit in a stocking (I’m jelly of that Friends shirt ;).
I love hauls in general, it doesn’t matter what kind or the backstory behind it. Looks like you had a pretty good Christmas. Happy New Year!
Wow so many nice pressies, lucky you!
Have a brilliant new year x
love the mario bedescu products – totally envious of your Christmas haul. happy holidays!
You got some really amazing items for Christmas. I have always wanted to try some of these beauty products.
I love the facial mists from Mario Badescu. They work so well. I’m also a huge fan of Kristin Ess. I bought her satin pillowcase and hair pin set and already notice a difference in using it.
I love your idea of only getting what will fit in your stocking! I feel like we’ve been unintentionally doing that for years but this year we kinda went all out 😁
