The last 5 things I bought off Shein ✨

As you may have already figured out, I absolutely love Christmas! 

It’s the one time of the year I am sorry but not sorry to spend up on special things for our family and community to do.

Here are the last five things I bought off Shein in preparation for Christmas this year!

First of all I bought these “scratch to win” cards! 

I’ll be using these today at our Yarning Circles, end of year, Christmas Party! 

Three lucky people will win a prize!

You can find these “Scratch to Win” cards here..

I also bought not just one, but three of these yearly planners for each of our bedrooms.

David and I have already put ours up and have written our important dates such as visitation dates with his son and daughter, BBL Cricket Games we’re attending, all the home games of the Mighty Melbourne Storm, family and friends birthdays, public holidays and our first trip away for 2025.

You can find these Yearly Planners here..

When you’re little, everything is so fun and magical. Which is why I just had to get this Fairy Potions Kit for Bridgette, David’s 5yo daughter. 

You can find this kit by clicking here..

Just as fun, this Xbox controller kitty cat cover was a must! My daughter Nevaeh loves hers and so this yeah we also bought one for David’s 6yo son Ryan. 

I can’t wait to see him open it in just a few days time.

You can find and buy it here..

And last but not least, I found this Kris Kringle Dice. 

The aim is that everyone chooses a present, then everyone rolls the dice and does what the dice requests them to do. 

It may say to open the present you have, or to swap it with someone with glasses ect. 

Whatever it says, you have to do!

I think our Kris Kringle activity is about to get a whole lot more fun with this dice!

And of course, you can find it here..

If you too would like to donate some special items this season I know the families whom are struggling in our area would really appreciate it.

Christmas Advent Day Fifteen

 

As you probably read already, we watched this the other night! I could not put it off any longer and Jie and I have been quoting parts of it every day since.

But today we did something else Christmassy and fun!

Today we spent the afternoon with Bridgette, David’s 5yo daughter for Christmas!

We went to Tarniet Library and did a Christmas craft, gave her the presents we bought for her and read a few books.

Afterwards we went to Cold Rock, a popular ice creamery where we all picked our icecream mixes.

David had Lemon Sorbet and Cookie Dough

Nevaeh had Cookies and Cream with gummy bears

Bridgette had Rainbow icecream with marshmallows 

And I had a small Stairway to Heaven Milkshake

Jie got Nandos next door.

As David and Nevaeh took Bridgette home, Jie and I drove to Woodgrove for Jie to do his Christmas shopping.

Then once we were all home, we played our last Christmas Game for the season.

David, having won the last two Christmas games opted to be the judge of today’s game.

The game went like this.

Jie, Nevaeh and I had to work out 4 different metal puzzles to win.

The first to unravel four puzzles won a $30 Movie Gift Card!

With 24 to choose from we only had to do four.

Nevaeh whom at first was reluctant to join in, ended up joining Jie and I late and actually won!

I can’t believe she won. 

Jie was again a big la la continuing the metal puzzles long after we’d stopped and upon checking Nevaehs puzzles realised that hers were way easier than his claiming she cheated! Hahaha.. We all had the same 24 puzzles in front of us so it was totally fair! 

Tomorrow is going to be 42 degrees so I think she and Jie will be going to the nice and cool air conditioned movies tomorrow to stay cool! 

David and I have to work.

But I’ll leave you tonight with this..

This is the Pokemon Pin my lovely son bought for me for Christmas..

Bloody kids..
