Twelve posts of Christmas #8 - Christmas presents: gifts I can wear

Now that the dust has settled over Christmas Day (sob) and we're at the beginning of 2016, I've been busy finding homes for all my lovely presents from family and friends. I'm so grateful for all the thoughtful gifts I've received, and I've decided to blog about them as I love reading other people's 'What I had for Christmas' posts. I've split my posts into three instalments - gifts I can wear, gifts I can eat/drink, and gifts I can use.

That's right, I'm creating a mini series within my 'Twelve posts of Christmas' series... I'm nothing if not organised.

So, to kick off the first Christmas Presents instalment, here are the wearable gifts I had for Christmas!




Beautiful rose gold Fossil watch from Neil. I'm already obsessed with it and never
want to take it off.




A new winter coat from my parents.
It's so warm, elegant and cosy!




An Animal dress from my parents, perfect for
chilly winter days. 




Golden snitch charm from my work Secret Santa, and a suitcase Pandora charm
from Neil's family's pets!




Pretty rose gold necklace from Neil - I mentioned before Christmas that I wanted
to start wearing rose gold jewellery and he's got me off to a good start.




Winnie the Pooh pyjamas from Neil. Such a pretty colour!




Minnie Mouse pyjamas from my parents... I'm wearing these as I blog and
I can confirm that they're extremely comfortable. 




Eeyore pyjamas from my parents in law - everyone seems to know that
I love Disney pyjamas.




Minnie Mouse dressing gown from my parents in law. I'm snuggled up in it
as I write this post!




Super cosy slippers from my parents in law (which I'm also
wearing as I write this post), and fluffy socks from Nicola and from
my parents.



I've already worn all these presents several times and I'm really looking forward to using them more throughout the year ahead. Which items of clothing did you have for Christmas? Were any of yours Disney themed? Let me know!

Christmas presents... the clothing edition

I say 'clothing'... this post will mainly focus on the new pyjamas and fluffy socks I had for Christmas. However, I did have two other very exciting things for Christmas which I've photographed below...








I had these beautiful brown suede boots from Fat Face for Christmas from my parents. I've wanted these boots for ages but could never justify buying them for myself. I love the colour and the button detail, as well as the beautifully fluffy interior. They look great with skinny jeans, hoodie and denim skirt, or my casual dresses. I haven't been able to wear the boots much yet as the weather has been so wet and I don't want to ruin them... hopefully the end of January will be drier! I love them :)




I also had the latest Welsh rugby shirt from Neil's parents for Christmas which I was very excited about, particularly as I'm going to two Welsh Six Nations games this year. My old Welsh shirt was way too big for me so this one came along at just the right time. Roll on the Six Nations!








I love pyjamas! Neil bought the lovely three piece Winnie the Pooh pyjama set for me, and the pink spotty pyjamas are from my parents. A lot of the pyjamas I've had for years are too big for me now, so I might have to organise a pyjama audit and clearout to make room for new ones. If you don't love pyjamas, I don't think we can be friends. 






Everyone loves fluffy socks! I had these beauties from Sarah, my parents and Nicola and I've already worn them all at least once. They're super cosy in the winter and I always stick a pair on as soon as I get home from work. When it's extra cold, I make the bold decision to wear slippers as well with the fluffy socks underneath. Crazy times. 

What clothes did you have for Christmas? I've bought a lot of clothes with my Christmas money, so there's a blog post to follow on those soon!
