Hello lovelies. I'm finally doing a Christmas post! Jason and I started a tradition last year. We do an Advent Calendar. We alternate each day with opening a gift and get 12 gifts each. I'm showing what I received for the first six days I opened.
We displayed it as a pile of gifts with a numbered sticker so we can keep track on who opens each day.
L-R: Day 1 - A pretty bauble (you can see my reflection ha), Day 2 - 3 papier mache ornaments, Day 3 - Some T2 sleep tight loose tea (I drink this most nights, so it's nice and practical)
L-R: Day 4 - Kikki.K notebook and pen, Day 5 - Washi tape and bird fabric ribbon from Typo, Day 6 - Kikki.K pens, refills and Crunchie chocolate (one of my fave)
Jason has been so thoughtful with each gift and you can not believe how much I squee each day that I open one. I do love to see Jason's reaction to his gifts too. I'm a little bit random with his gifts because can be so hard to buy for.
Only two more days of work! Have a great rest of week.
Oh these gifts are so perfect for you, I love this little idea - what a lovely tradition. Brendan isso hard to buy for too, I still havent got his big christmas present yet...

That's such a sweet tradition, maybe Stu and I could start one next year too. It'll be awesome to get a present each day leading up to Christmas.
