Hope you all had a lovely Christmas! It’s been so nice spending the last few days relaxing with the family, and if I’m honest I’ve been spoilt rotten!
I love giving presents even more than I love receiving them… this year I decided to go for minimalist wrapping with plain brown paper and cute ribbon that I found in Copenhagen.
Me and my family all agree that it’s nicer to buy lots of little presents, and this year I got some gorgeous little bits and pieces.
More new PJs, which believe it or not are from Primark like the previous pair I posted about last month- I love the prints!
I think one of my favourite gifts this year was this 1947 copy of Good Housekeeping and these vintage Limoges pieces- a needlebox and miniature perfume bottles in their own little basket.
Homemade peppermint marshmallows ♥

So now all the commotion of Christmas is over, it seems just about time to start stressing about plans for New Year.. do you have your plans sorted yet? I’m looking forward to having a few chilled out days to catch up on my reading – and by that I mean blogs and books!
Great gifts! I do agree that little things can sometimes be the best in terms of presents 🙂 That needlebox is so beautiful!

You got some lovely gifts, I love the print of your pjs (primark do some lovely ones, don't they), and the way you wrapped the presents. I was so terrible at wrapping :-/! xo
I have been doing the same thing this holiday, its been sooooo long since I have had the time to just sit and read, so this week I have gone through 3 books already!! Bliss!
