I'm not a huge fan of birthday hauls on YouTube so I thought I'd make a blog/picture version instead because I know some of you were curious about some of the things I got. My lovely sister Emma baked me my favourite cake, banoffee pie! Here it is in its full glory, complete with a pink candle which Albi and I blew out together.
My birthday breakfast :) It's healthy because it's got bananas in it! Hahaha... If you're curious as to what banoffee pie is, it's basically banana, toffee, cream and a biscuit base. Delicous! This was one of the best banoffee pies I'd ever tasted. My sister is an amazing baker!
Jonathan's amazing present to me...I love it! I think we're going to hang it either in the hall or going up the stairs.
Pretty birthday cards :)
The Italian Matchmaker (set on the Amalfi coast) from my mom!
Doggy draught excluder which Albi now thinks is his friend!
From my mom, bought at the Fair Trade shop.
Also from the Fair Trade shop, this beautiful green and black bracelet from my mom. I've been wearing this since I got it. I love it!
Brown corduroy Zara shorts plus leather belt from my mom. I can't wait to wear them!
Red spotty cutlery and red and black ribbed place-mats from my mom also. Our kitchen colour is red...all our appliances are red so these match beautifully! All from Debenhams.
From my sister Emma...really pretty red frame, a hook for my kitchen and a milk jug (I needed one badly, haha!) All from Peacock & Ruby boutique.
From my little sister Erika, a set of pink boxes for my make-up room...so cute!! She got these at TK Maxx. She also made me a card which you can kind of see in the picture.
Black cat book-ends from my aunt/godmother...these weigh a TON!! I don't know where she got these! I will be putting these on my bookshelf.
Benefit Bathina body balm from our family friend and neighbour...I love the packaging and can't wait to use it!
I hope you enjoyed this post...let me know what your favourite present was and if you like you can check out my thank you video to all of you guys here.
Stay Stylish!

You lucky girl! I think the last time when I got so many nice presents I was a child... ;-)
ReplyDeleteBtw I love them all but I'd always prefer the handmade ones. Isn't it sooo sweet when s.o. does s.th. for you like Jonathan and your sisters did!?!
Funny thing: I recently googled banoffee pie cause I had no idea what it was. Must be so delicious, maybe you can post Emma's recipe one time? I def. wanna try to do it myself!
Have a nice weekend, Katrin <3
