This post is just to show off what I got for Christmas and what I scored on Boxing Day, won't be too picture heavy though.
I got quite a few of the things that I wanted, some that I wasn't even thinking about during Christmas, like the sewing machine and the alpaca plush haha. The pink box in the bottom corner is all the Lush products I got from various people, including all the stuff in the Christmas Candy Box, which, as always, included the Snow Fairy shower gel, as well as Bubblegum lip scrub, pink FUN, and the Snow Fairy massage bar. Below the alpaca is a Los Campesinos! tote bag I bought myself, along with the Christmas card Gareth was kind enough to send me. Here's all the other LC! merch I was stupid enough to pay international shipping for this year.

My boxing day haul might be more impressive than what I actually unwrapped on Christmas morning. My parents and I woke up at 8am, were out the door before 9 and got to the Kind Exchange soon after they opened for their 70% off sale. We exchanged the creepers my dad bought me for a pair that fit, hit up two locations of American Apparel in a search for disco pants (I ended up getting a disco skirt instead), failed to buy anything during Lush's BOGO sale (they were sold out of everything I wanted), then finally settled down for lunch. My dad went to work after that, but I wasn't done yet. I finally bought a couple items at the new location of Japanese quality goods store MUJI, it was whatever they had left really, because the holiday season has left their shelves practically empty.
When my parents went to Hong Kong in September, T.U.K. creepers were on my list of things to be on the lookout for, but I figured they had forgot all about it. When I unwrapped these I was pretty surprised, but later very disappointed to find that they were way too small. Luckily the store had a pair that were just my size when we went to exchange them yesterday morning. I also picked up some acrylic pen stands that I'm going to use for my makeup brushes. I'll probably do a separate post later about my new makeup set-up.
Topshop had racks and racks of clearance items, but I ended up just getting a couple small things; a red eyeshadow (colour payoff of this is surprisingly great?), some ankle socks and tights, and a baby blue crop top. As I mentioned before my first stop in the morning was the Kind Exchange, but I also went to another location after American Apparel, so I ended up with almost $100 worth of thrift items. In the bags below there's a huge army jacket, a grey denim American Apparel skirt and a black figure skater dress, some stuff my mom bought, a new-w/-tags glittery Topshop dress, and a black/white striped Uniqlo turtleneck.
Merry Christmas and/or whatever you celebrate! See you in the New Year (or maybe earlier than that if I find the time to post again).
