2023 Christmas haul

2023 Christmas haul

Christmas is not about the gifts. It is about spending time with family, celebrating religion, and enjoying the festive season. Some people do not get many presents, so I am thankful that my parents are in the situation where they can give my brother and I great items. Every Christmas I look forward to going on TikTok and watching people post videos showing off everything they got for the holiday. So, I am going to be giving a virtual haul of what I have received this Christmas! For the sole purpose of entertainment, because I know myself and others enjoy Christmas hauls. There will be links for items for you to click on and see visually. Be sure to read the entire list, there are a lot of good items and I am so insanely grateful. 

The first gift that I asked for was the cute and trendy shoes that were on my list. These are Classic Ultra Mini UGG boots. I got them in the color chestnut, and love them and was very happy to receive this. 

Next is another pair of shoes, Nike Panda Dunk Lows. They are a cute black and white Nike shoe that will go perfect with almost every outfit. 

The last pair of shoes gifted to me were a pair of Yeezy Slides in the color Slate Gray. I gave a pair to my friend last year and they were so comfortable and I realized I wanted a pair for myself.

One of my other favorite gifts were tickets to go see Dancing With The Stars live on tour. They are coming nearby and I absolutely love the show and this was a big thing on my list this year. 

Something else I got that is so gorgeous is a gold Kendra Scott necklace with a pink stone heart. Gold is my color, any jewelry I wear is always gold so this is perfect. It is subtle and just my style.

I also asked for a laptop for college. I got an HP 15.6” laptop that will be a necessity this upcoming fall. I also got a pink hard shell cover for it, so it looks like the laptop is pink!

Another present I got were three Stanley water bottles and a mini Stanley. I got it in the color Twilight, which is pretty purplish, I got a bright sky blue one and a pink one as well. I already had a white one so I knew I would love another. I also got a mini 10oz Stanley cup that is light pink. This will be perfect for me to take coffee to work in the mornings. The colors are all cute and I am excited to get use out of them. 

Charli D’amelio’s “Born Dreamer” fragrance was high on my list. I got this last Christmas and fell in love, so I really wanted to get more. Luckily I received this and it smells amazing. 

I also received a lot of clothes. I got a peach colored Nike sweatshirt, three American Eagle cardigans, two gorgeous American Eagle Sherpa jackets (light purple and light blue), an American Eagle tan puffer jacket, American Eagle jeans, a dark pink American Eagle cropped crewneck, Victoria’s Secret crewneck, Victoria’s Secret sweatpants, Reebok sweatshirt (pink and blue), Reebok sweatpants (blue and black), two Old Navy black leggings, fuzzy socks, and a pink UGG winter hat. 

Self care products were also on my list. I got three Tree Hut sugar scrubs, Pleasing face serum, Pleasing nail polish, Tula beauty under eye stick, Tarte tinted moisturizer, a new electric toothbrush, Buxom mascara, Burt’s Bees rose face wipes, a jade face roller, tea tree eye masks, and multiple eye/lip masks from American Eagle. 

Items I got that I wanted for college were a big white floor rug for my dorm, a vanity mirror with lights around the edges, a long body mirror that opens and has a jewelry and small item storage compartment, a Keurig coffee maker, a giant white throw blanket as well as a huge UGG pillow. 

Some random items I got were: Taylor Swift Folklore and Evermore CDs for my car, tanning bed lotion as well as a tanning membership at a local tanning salon, a long body mirror to mount on my door, American Eagle perfume, a Taylor Swift calendar, slime from an Instagram slime shop since I always watch those satisfying videos (Taylor Swift themed slime), a chamoy pickle kit from TikTok Shop (if you haven’t heard of this go watch TikToks on it!), a mini cupcake maker, Bath&Body Works perfumes, lotions and body washes, a neck pillow for plane rides, a snorkeling mask for my trip to Mexico, Aquaphor, a Harry Styles candle and a ton of candy and snacks! 

The last category I will be talking about is gift cards. I received four gift cards to the makeup and skincare store, Ulta Beauty. I buy a lot of skin care products and hair care products from there so I am happy to put these to use. I also got a gift card to American Eagle, which is where a lot of my clothes come from as well as two gift cards to Tim Horton’s and one to Starbucks, which is where I love to get treats, so I am very grateful for these all.
