ma's presents 2015

It's that time of the year again!

Well, it's been that time of the year for a little while now, but it's only when I come to wrap up Ma's presents that the fact that Christmas is pretty bloody immanent really hits me.

Yes, that's mostly because I only do it a couple of days before Christmas... but still.

And as always, the modus operandi is to wrap everything in tissue paper, tie it with a ribbon and fill up a box.

Thankfully I had just enough red, green and white tissue... although I did sub in a couple of pieces of silver, which I think saved my butt. And I've been recycling the same ribbons for the last five years... I didn't have to cut any new pieces this year.

This also has to be the last year I buy anything Olaf related... he's an easy buy because of Ma's love of all things snowman, but I ended up with three different things this year without realising it...

• Summer Olaf Pop Vinyl
• Disney Infinity Olaf
• Itty Bittys plush Olaf
• Harajuku Lovers Music perfume
• Harajuku Lovers Love perfume (x2)
• dec-ade 2016 calendar (and USB with iPhone wallpapers)
• Moon Over Soho novel
• From Up On Poppy Hill DVD
• When Marnie Was There DVD
• Square origami earrings
• White paper crane earrings
• Erstwilder lighthouse brooch
• Follow Your Fate tee
• Seagulls have the Phonebox tee
• Lonely Spirit tee
• The Shadow On The Moon tee
• Haighs dark chocolate speckles
• Haighs coffee pastilles
• Cherry cranberry pistachio nougat 

There's also some of the old favourites in there... the calendar, the nougat, the perfume. I actually ended up with more stuff than I realised... partly because I'd forgotten about the t-shirts and the Olaf stuff. But Ma does a lot of me during the year, so it's nice to spoil her when I can.
