We’ve had such a wonderful Christmas this year. It was seriously good. Low key, but lovely, with both our families around us. With the little lady now at an age where she understands the general concept of Christmas, it has been even more magical. We spent Christmas day enjoying all the best things about Christmas and boxing day recovering from it. It has been perfect.
I got to unwrap so many lovely gifts this Christmas, but the ones that I have been particularly excited about are all my beautiful blogger gifts which I wanted to capture in this post. Each and every one is lovely and makes me either smile, want to pinch myself or both! I’m a very lucky lady..
1.Personalised Blog Planner
Ever since I stumbled on The Bloggers Planner on Twitter I knew wanted one of these beauties for myself. Luckily for me the husband was lovely enough to get me a personalised one with my blog title on the front of it (squeee!). I love so many things about this planner, like the Goals section upfront, the Content Ideas section for jotting down all your blog post ideas and all the great quotes that are peppered in between each section. They’ve literally thought about everything a blogger needs and then captured it all in a beautiful planner.
2. Kate Spade Dear Me Notepad
I love Kate Spade stationery and this is the perfect little notepad. I am totally a list maker so this Dear Me one is perfect. Not only is it pretty and compact, but it has two sections for writing down Things to do and Things to Remember. Even better, it has perforated pages so you can dispose of your lists when you’re done with them. That Kate Spade, she thinks of everything. Love her.
3. Diptyque Figuier Candle
I love candles, especially luxurious Diptyque candles. Since we turned our spare room into our home office when we moved into our new home this spring, I’ve been daydreaming about creating the perfect home office/blogging space. In my Pinterest picture perfect daydream this involves lots of lovely Kate Spade stationery, stylish framed prints and beautiful scented candles like this gorgeous fig one.
4. Starbucks Tumbler
I spied this stylish tumbler in Starbucks a few months ago and could literally visualise sipping from it whilst blogging at home so I immediately added it to my Christmas list. Every blogger needs a tea/coffee mug, or in this case tumbler by their side so I was delighted when I unwrapped it on Christmas day. I love it. It’s beautiful, super stylish and I cant wait to use it!
5. Apple Watch Sport
This watch needs no introduction. The husband and I decided to gift each other with his and hers Apple Watch’s this Christmas. Completely coincidental, but it speaks volumes about the state of our love for Apple products in our house. I am still working out how to use all of the functions, but I already know this pretty piece of technology is going to be infinitely useful for blogging in ways I havent even realised yet.
Did you get any lovely blogger gifts this Christmas that you are excited about and cant wait to use?
I also got a blogger planner, but mine is an upcycled children’s book version from Retro from Scratch. I love it! 🙂

I lure that blogger planner!! Maybe next year if I’m still going. The Apple Watch really intrigues me as I love apple products too but not sure of the functions. Glad you had a brilliant time. Our Christmas was fab too and back to reality today!! X thanks for hosting x
Thanks! The blog planner is amazing and I’d totally recommend it. I’m still figuring out the Apple Watch 😉

Yay! I still havent figured it out, at the moment it just looks lovely and doesnt do much more. The husband seems much more au fait with his already. How about you? I need some tips if so!! The blogger is a must have, you must get one too 😉
You had lovely presents! I got a blogger journal from @cocochicblog which is fantastic!! I’m in love with it. I had a very bad experience with the Blogger Planner. They told me after 3 weeks of ordered a planner that they won’t be able to deliver it and that I had to get a refund. I was really unhappy about that. But I guess this is my luck!! LOL I’m very intrigue about the apple watch. My husband keeps telling me that we have to wait a little bit longer before we get but I don’t understand why? I would like to have it now like you! lol I absolutely love Diptyque candels! And your sturbucks tumbler is beautiful!! Nick gave me for Xmas a Michael Kors watch that I absolutely adore!! I’m in love with it!! 😉 xx

Oooh your blogger journal sounds fab,I am going to check that out when I can (although im not sure I need another lol). Either way, im sure we will both be a little more organised now ;-). I cant believe you had a bad expeirence with the blogger planner, such a shame as their product is fab. I guess it happens every now and then though..
Hmm I wonder if you husband wants to wait until the next/later version of the watch is out, or in case they find and fix some bugs which usually happens with Apple. I’m enjoying the watch, but not using it as much as I’d hoped yet which feels like a bit of a waste 🙁
Oooh and I forgot to say how lucky you are receiving a Michael Kors watch for Christmas, I love their watches! 🙂
I never even realised that blogger gifts were a Thing. I am so 2015. Love the blogger planner and the Starbucks mug. I want these too!
Min recently posted…Life: Perfectly Instagrammed?
Erm, i’m not sure they are (I might have made that up ;-). The blog planner and starbucks mug are fab!
Oh I do love the look of the diptyque candle. I was only very recently introduced to their amazing perfume. Enjoy! #marvMondays
Sarah recently posted…Banana Breakfast Muffins
I do think they are as pretty as they smell 🙂
Such lovely gifts I really love that mug! I just received a diary that could be a bit blogging related, I did receive lots of candles too, if they’re a bit bloggy? I’d love to have a home office I will have to look at you pinterest for ideas. Hopefully we can get things moving for an extension but maybe I’ll have to settle for the dining room until then x #marvmondays

Thank you, totally in love with them. I found myself sniffing the candle when I was working from home the other day (slightly obsessed!). We’ve only just had a home office for the last 6 months since we moved house so we’re probably still a little in the honeymoon phase with it, but we may lose it soon when the new baby comes along!
i love the coffee mug, it’s really different. Hope you enjoy using it. Happy new year and all the best for 2016
Thank you! I havent had the chance to use it yet, but I’m working from home tomorrow so definitely will 🙂
Amazing gifts. I’m super jealous of the blog planner (obviously!). (: #MarvMondays
Thanks lovely co-host ;-). The blog planner is definitely one of my faves! x
