What I Got For My 13th Birthday Haul ♥

Hello everyone! I don't know whether you knew, but... it was my birthday on Tuesday!! Yes my birthday was on the 13th of June and I thought I'd show you the presents I got! ♥

Before I get started, I am an only child which means I don't have any siblings, so if you think that I'm being a bit spoilt, it's probably because my parents have more money as there is only me to buy presents for :)

Clothing & Accessories:
Okay, I got these tops from my lovely mother! I'm not quite sure where they are from, but I think they are from Matalan, Primark & New Look. I might be wrong, but I am 99% sure that the one with the patterns at the bottom is from Matalan.

Next, I got some oval shaped earrings from my dad. I've got some smaller hoops that I was wearing, but I wanted something that were a bit bigger, so my dad got me these oval hoop earrings and I really like them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got this present from my wonderful friend Amelia and she got me a pack of three sets of earrings and a friendship bracelet. I thought this was really kind of her and I couldn't thank her enough. I really like these two gifts and I am wearing one of the pairs of earrings to school right now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I know that this is a bar of chocolate, but if you look you can see another friendship bracelet! This is a present from my best friend Lauren! She got me a bracelet with a little key on it and some chocolate which has been made from where I live! I am really loving the chocolate, I am half way through it and the bracelet fits perfectly! Thank you Lauren for this amazing gift! ♥

 

 

 

 

 

 

Makeup and Skincare:

 

Okay, I had no idea that I was getting this present and I was really excited when I opened it! It is the first "Zoella Beauty" Collection! This is Zoella's first collection and I was so amazed that I got this as I had been begging my mum to get me this for ages! This present was actually from my dad though. Thank you dad, I was not ever expecting this and the body lotion is fantastic!

 

 

 

My mum also got me some beauty bits. She got me a bath bomb, three fragrances, a bath fizzer and some bath confetti! I really wanted some new bath stuff to make my baths more exciting and relaxing and now that has been accomplished! Thank you ever so much Mum ♥

 

 

 

 

 

My mum also got me some new makeup! She got me two "Maybelline New York" eyeshadow palettes and a new beauty blender. I am not really a big eyeshadow person, but these palettes are lush and I got wait to use them! Also all my previous beauty blenders that I have been using weren't working very well, so I am excited that I have got a better one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Décor:

 

Okay, I was not really expecting any décor items for my birthday but I am OBSESSED with this light up box! It is just so pretty and it really does "Light Up My Life" before I go to bed. It is a nice alternation for a lamp and it is gorgeous! This was from my mum, so thank you mum!

 

 

 

 

 

I also got this cute pug toy from my mum! It's called a "Hug A Pug" and I have yet to name this pug, so if you have any name suggestions, leave them in the comments! I just thought this was really cute and SUPER soft!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personally I thought this present was a bit silly, but my mum thought it would be a great idea to get me a bag that says "I Can't Stop Watching Joe" on it. If you read my "5 Facts About Me" blog post, you would know that my favourite youtuber is Joe Sugg. Sadly, I don't think my mum realised that I don't watch the youtubers as often as I used to, so this bag was pretty much pointless, but it did make me laugh when I opened it!

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, so I have a collection of signatures from different celebrities up on my wall and it had kind of become a thing that I usually get some signed photos for my birthday or Christmas. This year my mum got me a signature of LL Cool J and my dad got me signatures of Hugh Jackman and Ellen DeGeneres. I really enjoy watching Lip Sync Battle and I think LL Cool J is a great host, so I was happy to get him! Also I love Dory and Wolverine (very different characters might I add) so I was also happy to get Hugh Jackman and Ellen's signatures. Also I LOVE "The Ellen Show".

 

 

 

Books:

 

Okay, so my mum got me some of the youtubers books! I was so excited when I find out... they were all SIGNED!! I got "Username: Evie" by Joe Sugg, "Caspar Lee" by Caspar Lee and "Girl Online On Tour" by Zoe Sugg. I don't think my mum realised that that was the second book of "Girl Online", so now I need to go out and get the first book so I can read that first!

 

 

 

My good twin friends Hope & Charity got me a Fantastic Beasts colouring book! I really loved Fantastic Beasts when it came out and was surprised by the amount of action that was in it considering it was linked to the Harry Potter franchise. They also got me a small pack of colouring pencils to go with the book and they got me a bar of Oreo Dairy Milk Chocolate. Thank you girls for the amazing gift! ♥

 

 

 

 

 

 

Food:

 

I got this gift from my Great Auntie and she got me a Dairy Milk Whole Nut Chocolate Bar and a £10 New Look Voucher! (which I've already spent) I really love Whole Nut chocolate and was really happy when I got some more and I LOVE going clothes shopping, so I was so excited when I got the voucher! Thank you for the wonderful present!

 

 

 

 

 

 

My dad got me this blender so I can make smoothies for the summer! My birthday lands when the weather starts getting warmer and I really wanted a blender so I could make homemade smoothies this year. I was so happy about this present and now I can make fresh cold smoothies to drink in the hot sun! Thank you so much dad ♥

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technology:

 

Okay, some of you may not class this as technology, but I certainly do! My Uncle got me this present and it is "Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them" on Blu-Ray! As I said earlier, I really enjoyed this movie due to the amount of action it has in it and I loved watching it in the cinema! (I do think my granddad loved it more than me though) My granddad literally walked out the cinema with me and said "That film was incredible, I loved that!" Now if that is coming from someone who thought the Harry Potter films were good, this film is absolutely incredible and I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys watching the Harry Potter films.

 

 

(Sorry for the really bad photo, it's hard to take a photo of your computer screen without it looking weird) Anyway, my dad got me "The Sims 4 City Living" expansion pack! I saw lots of people play this expansion on YouTube and what got me to ask for this expansion was the different cultural events and the newly added singing level! Thank you dad for the expansion pack!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, so my last two presents are my main presents and one of them is actually a hand me down present because my family aren't that rich :D Anyway, thought I'd let you know :)

 

Okay, so this is a hand me down iPad and it is from my Nan & Granddad! I really wanted a new iPad for my birthday as I had almost ran out of storage and I wouldn't be able to continue this blog if I didn't get a new one! :o Anyway, my old one was only 16GB whereas this one has 64GB, so I have much more storage space! Thank you ever so much Nan & Granddad for this amazing present! ♥

 

 

 

 

 

Last but not least is... my new laptop! I knew I was getting this for my birthday as my mum said so, so I could prepare by taking stuff off my old one and putting it on a USB. My birthday was on a school day, so I didn't have much time in the evening as I had a buffet for dinner as well. Anyway this laptop is a "hp" and is from my lovely mother! Thank you ever so much for this and I couldn't be more grateful! ♥ Love you!

 

 

 

 

I also want to say thank you to my other Uncle for £5, my Nana & Papa for £15, my Nan & Granddad for £10 and my Great Nana for £5. Thanks to all my friends and family for the wonderful gifts! I love all of them in their own special way!

 

Thanks to everyone who supports me on this blog and thank you for reading this blog post! Any items you want to know where my friends and family got them from, ask me in the comments! By the way, I think the After School Routine blog post is coming out next week and I will see you soon! Bye ♥
