Christmas Gift Exchange

Happy (belated) Christmas! I hope you all have been enjoying the holiday season with your family and friends. I know I have!

Here are the amazing presents I gave and received this year:

For the person I’m seeing: Diego and I exchanged gifts about two weeks ago. I got him socks and a Sega Megadrive controller that connects to your mobile phone that you use as the media screen.

For my brothers: I got Ryan a scuba diving mask and snorkel and I got Kyle a small drone. I also got them both a framed picture of the three of us from when they visited last summer.

For my dog: I got Bailey a doggie Christmas dinner and a new tug toy.

For my parents: I got my mom some Eden perfume and my dad some tools (that have yet to arrive, even though I ordered them plenty early, ugh).

From the person I’m seeing: For Christmas, Diego got me an Architects shirt and an adorable hummingbird watercolor painting.

From my brothers: Kyle got me and electric kettle, because Americans are Neanderthals and don’t consider it a common household item. Ryan got me a bunch of Lush stuff, I’m especially fond of the shampoo bar!

From my parents: Spotify for a year, $30 for books (already spent, obviously), Chipotle gift card, Minus the Bear shirt, reef guide, action camera (the poor man’s GoPro), money and more!

From my grandparents and extended family: Money, money, money! Most certainly towards buying a dive computer. My auntie also got me All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot… I usually wouldn’t trust people to pick out a book for me, but they really nailed it on the head! I’m really looking forward to reading it and sobbing my eyes out.

What was your favorite gift you got for Christmas?
