- Hello, friends, so today I am so excited,
because I'm doing my first Christmas video of the year,
and I love Christmas probably more than I love life,
so let's just dive straight on in there,
because I've got like three bags of joy,
three bags of Christmas joy to get through.
(cheerful music)
So, the first place that I went
to find some Christmas things at was actually Tesco,
and they did not disappoint me.
The first thing that I got was this cushion,
which says "Bah Humbug" on it,
and it also says it on both of the sides,
and I just really, really liked it.
It's the classic red and white.
So, yeah, this cushion cost 10 pounds,
and it's a really nice squidgy one,
so I feel as though I've got my money's worth from it,
and, yeah, I thought it was really, really cute.
Sticking with cushions,
because obviously I couldn't just leave with just one,
because I am a pillow/cushion addict.
I'm fully aware of my problem.
I also got another one which says "Joy" on it
in metallic gold writing,
and the actual cushion itself is so unbelievably soft.
It is very lovely and luxurious.
I really, really like this,
and it's definitely gonna go with the red one,
because gold, red, and green
are definitely the festive colors in this household.
Now, I have made over the last three years a bit
of a tradition to buy myself a Christmas jumper
when I start getting into the Christmas spirit.
So, I bought myself a jumper from Tesco,
or F&F, which I think is their clothing range,
and this cost 16 pounds, and it's just red,
and it says "Holly Jolly Xmas,"
and it's got some sequins down the J
to make it look like a candy cane,
and it also has a sequin holly over here.
I really like it.
I cannot wait to wear it,
because Christmas jumper, and, yeah,
but really, really love that very much.
Now, the next thing I specifically went to Tesco to get,
and I'm very, very excited to show you,
these are my Christmas day pajamas.
Yep, that's right.
It has Will Ferrell's face on it from Elf,
which is my favorite Christmas movie of all time.
You cannot get better than Elf.
And on the front it says, "Oh my God!
"Santa!
"Santa's coming!
"I know him!
"I know him!"
And it's actually a really long pajama top.
I like the long ones a lot.
And under this you also get some red leggings
and they have little candy canes and snowflakes on,
and I just think it's adorable.
I'm very excited to wear this.
And this set cost 15 pounds.
I love it!
It's like my favorite thing that I've bought, oh my God.
Next are actually some slipper socks,
which I absolutely love,
and I actually saw these from one of Tanya Burr's videos,
and I was like, "Yes, I need those in my life."
These are some Rudolph slipper socks,
and they are so cozy, and I cannot wait to wear these,
because I'm gonna have little reindeer feet
and everyone's gonna be jealous,
and these are actually like fleece in lined,
so they're gonna be super cozy in the winter,
and I just thought they were so cute.
I don't think I've ever had slipper socks
that are this adorable.
These cost 10 pounds, which is kind of steep for some socks,
but I promise you these are so thick
and your feet will thank you in the Christmas months,
so, oh my God, Christmas.
So, the next shop that I went to is called The Range,
and I'm not sure if many people have heard of it,
but it's one of my favorite stores of all time,
especially at Christmas,
because they have a whole floor dedicated to Christmas,
which is like a dream come true,
and it really does feel really magical.
The first thing that I got from there
which I'm gonna show you, (laughs)
you're either gonna love it or you're gonna hate it,
but I love it.
It's so tacky that it's cool.
Say hello to Pete the Polar Bear.
This is a polar bear head that you kind of put
onto the wall, and it's very soft and glorious,
and I just thought he was so cute that I wanted him
and I adopted him and I named him Pete.
So, this is Pete the Polar Bear,
and he's very, very soft and I like him.
I don't know why I bought it.
I can't help myself at Christmas.
Help! (laughs)
Moving onto something a little bit more normal.
I cannot stand the cold, so I bought myself,
now I do actually have one of these already,
but it wasn't as cute and it wasn't as festive,
I bought myself a little hot water bottle
in a little Christmas hot water bottle jumper,
and I love it, and I think this cost,
I don't know, about four, five pounds,
and it's so cute and I actually have some Christmas pillows
that this is going to match with very well,
because that's how Christmas crazy I am.
I really, really like it.
It's very, very thick and woolly,
so I'm not going to burn myself.
The next thing that I got is actually a decoration,
and it's actually quite big.
I bought it for, probably to hang on the back of a door,
or just to hang from the ceiling in some way,
because it's this really nice wooden star,
and in the middle it has a smaller star,
which I just thought was really sweet,
and it's hanging on this sort
of woody rope type textured thing.
But yeah, I thought it was really nice.
I like stars at Christmas.
It just adds that little bit more magic to the household,
and I really liked it.
The last thing that I got from The Range,
I just really, really liked,
and I wanted to put it on my desk at Christmastime,
and I thought it was kind of really classy.
And it's this, I'm not sure what it's made of.
It feels like it's made out of plaster or something.
It's this sort of stag reindeer head.
Here are its very long antlers, which I really like.
And it just sits on its little stand,
and I just thought it was really nice.
I love white things.
And I saw this and I thought it was just lovely.
(laughs) So, yeah, he's going to live on my desk
throughout November, December, maybe January.
In fact, you might stay all year round,
because you are white.
I originally thought
that it would make a really good ring holder,
but then I thought the rings probably wouldn't get past
this bit. (laughs)
But yeah, that is everything that I got from The Range,
and I really, really like it,
and we only have one store left to go.
The last shop that I went to was called B&M,
which you might have heard of.
I have seen a few of those dotted around as well.
And the first thing that I got was this Christmas stocking,
which I just really liked the pattern,
and it felt quite well-made,
and on the back it has some felt, which is red,
but the front is made out of wool,
and this only cost two pounds,
which I was just like,
"That is a bargain for a Christmas stocking."
So, yeah, that was the first thing that I got from B&M,
and I just really liked it.
You can't go wrong
with a good old-fashioned Christmas stocking.
Next from B&M, I got a sign which is made out of wood,
and it has one of those nice ropy handles.
I don't know what to call those.
This says "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"
and it has a snowflake on it,
I mean, it has a few snowflakes on it, actually.
But I just thought it was a really cute little dainty sign,
and, again, this cost two pound as well,
and I just thought it was really adorable,
so I thought that I could put this
on like my front door, perhaps.
I really like it, and it feels really nice,
and it's nicely varnished.
So, yeah, bargain!
I love this shop.
And the last thing from B&M is actually
a super soft snuggly throw,
and it is so soft.
So soft, and very, very snuggly,
and I just think this is perfect.
This only cost nine pounds, and it's quite a big throw,
and I was planning on keeping this on the end of my bed.
Or it's something that you could take downstairs
to have in front of the TV when you just want
to be really snug and cozy with a hot chocolate.
I love this so much.
Now, the last few things are actually
small little decorations from many different little places,
but I'm gonna show you them.
It doesn't look very Christmassy,
but it was from their Christmas range,
and it is this hummingbird Christmas decoration,
and it's so beautiful.
This is from Paperchase,
and I think it cost about three pound 50, I think,
but it's so pretty and it's been living on my desk,
and it's something that I'll probably have all year round,
but I just thought it was so, so lovely.
I love hummingbirds.
Very, very pretty.
Love this a lot.
And the final thing that I have from Paperchase,
which isn't a decoration for a tree as such,
but it's still cute.
It is this little reindeer, and it's my favorite color,
and it has gold antlers, gold hooves,
and it has a little bell round its neck,
and I just thought it was really, really adorable.
I think this only cost like four or five pounds,
but yeah, I love things like this.
I can't help myself.
I think I have about three sort of reindeer shaped things
in my house like this, maybe bigger,
but yeah, I really, really like it.
And the last few little bits are in this bag right here.
This is actually from Tesco,
and it's a little tiny polar bear.
It's a glittery polar bear,
and I really thought he was adorable,
and he cost one pound 50,
and then my other decorations that I have are
I bought a teeny-weeny box full of little candy canes,
and there are six in there,
which I just thought was such a good sort of bargain,
'cause I think this cost about two pounds for six,
and this was also from Tesco.
And one of my favorite decorations
came in these boxes.
And I wasn't actually expecting them to be this big
when I bought them, because I bought these ones online.
So, when I opened it up, I was like,
"Oh, that's actually quite large." (laughs)
But, again, these only cost, I think,
one pound 50 from Tesco's
and they look like little ice sculptures of a reindeer,
and I just thought it was so pretty.
I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with them yet.
I think I am going to put them on my tree,
even though they're quite big,
but yeah, I love that they look like ice.
I just think they are so, so pretty,
and they excite me a lot. (laughs)
And I also got some of these,
a little glittery snowflakes, which are also from Tesco.
They have some good decorations this year.
But yeah, I like these.
Again, these are quite large, so I only bought two of these.
And last but not least,
which is also from Tesco, is this,
which looks really random, but it has this kind of like,
how do I describe it?
Holographic oil slick.
But they have these really nice sequins on,
and some wiggly sort of twigs, which are glittery,
and a little spike, and this was called a festive pick,
or a festive spike, and you put these in plants
that you have around the house
to make them look a little bit more festive,
and I got this for my orchid that I have,
because I wanted it to look a little bit more Christmassy,
and yeah, I thought it was really cute.
And I think that was about like one pounds or two pounds.
And yeah, that is the end of my haul,
and I'm so surrounded.
I'm surrounded by Christmas, and I cannot wait.
Let me know down below what things
that you have started to prepare for for Christmas,
because I'm not gonna lie,
I've already bought most of my Christmas shopping,
and I've also wrapped most of it and put it in the lounge,
because I am one eager beaver
when it comes to Christmas (laughs) and I'm not even sorry.
So, yeah, I'm very excited for Christmas.
I hope you enjoyed this video.
