What I Got for My Birthday/Birthday Haul

  I love reading these kind of posts so I thought I would do one to show you what I got for my birthday last month. I was also given some money and I have got my eye on a few things that I would like to buy with it (maybe I will do a wishlist!). First up was this lovely jumper that my mum got me. It is 100% acrylic and is really warm. I haven't worn it much yet as the weather hasn't been cold enough...hurry up winter! 

 My brother and his girlfriend got me several things, firstly was a set of pink suitcases. I didn't actually have any suitcases of my own and was always borrowing my brother's whenever I went to visit Jamie, so I am really pleased to finally have my own, and in my favourite colour too! 

 They also got me a new waterproof coat and a water bottle for when I go on long, rainy walks with Jack :) 

 Finally they got me something that I have been needing for ages - a blender! I tried it out this weekend when I made a chocolate tofu pie with raspberry coulis; recipe coming soon! 

 My friend Chloe got me these really pretty pink crystal earrings - she always knows the kind of jewellery I love :)

 Jamie's sister, niece and nephew were on holiday in Spain whilst it was my birthday, so I got my present from them when they arrived home. They got me this gorgeous beaded necklace and earring set which is from Spain.  

  Jamie's mum, dad and nan got me some Dr. Bronner's tea tree soap and some Seed & Bean chilli and lime chocolate, which I haven't tried yet but it looks very tasty. 

 Jamie also got me some chocolate; a big hamper full! Lots of amazing chocolates were inside, including my favourite Booja Booja hazelnut crunch truffles. 

 So far I have tried the Grenada Chocolate Company bar, and oh my goodness it is the most amazing chocolate I have ever tasted! I cannot explain how delicious it is; it is so creamy and full of strong, rich flavour. This is proper chocolate! 

 Jamie also got me a beautiful bunch of sunflowers and gladioli that looked striking against my bright pink wall :) 

 He also got me the Harry Potter boxset, which I really wanted as I am a massive fan having grown up with the stories. Now I have got all the films to go with all the books!

 Let me know if you've had a birthday recently, I'd love to see what you got!
