Mini Shopping Haul!

Hey Jelly Beans.

As promised today is the start of Hixxie Pixie Mania!!!!

So today, after work I went on a little shopping spree. Safe to say Christmas was on my mind and I had been telling myself all day that I was not to come home without something Christmassy for my room. 2 shops, 3 items all Christmas which I was super happy about. Let me show you what I have purchased shall I?

So first I purchased this cute little number. A white glass vanilla candle with a red reindeer pattern on. I haven't yet burnt it, but they had one going in the store and it smelt divine. The store was a little gift shop that had so many nice Christmas items in I could have bought everything. The price I paid was a whole £1!

Next up was this almost to cute for words bottle opener. Now I know I shouldn't be promoting alcohol drinking but when I saw this little guy with his little scarf I couldn't resist. As most of you may know I have the biggest obsession with owls. Well around Christmas penguins are top on my list of animals to purchase. Anyway that's going off at a slight tangent, I had to get this little fellow as my Dad is always misplacing his opener and I thought I would have a spare. Then after Christmas he can still be used as a little decoration on my worktable. Cost £1.99 complete bargain.
 
Finally was this stunning little man above. I mean seriously how cute is it? A super soft and fluffy snowman is just what my room needed to get me in the Christmas spirit. I think I may go back to the store and buy another one as they had a huge selection of characters. Hmmmm I may just have to do that. Anyway I purchased this and the penguin opener above from a small card store while looking for a birthday card for my Grandfather. £1.99 is what I paid again and I'm extremely happy.
 
So that's what I purchased today. Like I said it was a small shopping haul but an extremely cute one which made me very very happy.
