Birthday Gift Show & Tell!

Now that my 46th birthday has come and gone, it’s time to post about the gifts I received. I am very lucky to have gotten a plethora of fun stuff from loved ones! This first photo shows most of the gifts from my parents, minus a couple things that arrived late:

My mom asks me for a gift wish list each year, and she got me everything on it. Here’s what I got:

When Your Partner Knows You So Well

Here’s the really fun array of gifts that John got me, all from local shops:

He picked out a fun mixture of gifts that are totally up my alley:

The Belated

This gorgeous Botanica Tarot Deck (another gift from my parents) arrived a few days after my birthday:

Surprise From a Friend

And a nice surprise gift set from a friend from high school! She went on a work retreat to Salish Lodge & Spa, which served as the exterior of the Great Northern on Twin Peaks (one of my fave shows). My friend said she loved their body wash and lotion, so she sent me a set for my birthday. How very sweet! Thank you so much for the thoughtful gift, S! These smell amazing.

HBD To Me

On my birthday, I ordered myself a few little gifts, and of course added a Sephora birthday gift to my cart. I chose the Youth to the People gift; I already love these products and they will be perfect for travel.

What I ordered:

A Deeper Look

I’ll show you a few items in a little more detail, starting with the two Mooncat nail polishes. Queen of the Dead is on the left, Treachery in the Blue on the right. These are thermal polishes, which are a new-to-me type of nail polish. They act as a mood ring of sorts, changing color along with your body temperature. QOTD is a pinky-red when you’re warm, and a dark Chanel Vamp-y shade when you’re cold. TITB is a sparkly blue when cold, sparkly pink when warm.

I painted my nails with QOTD on my birthday, and it’s fun to see the color change! I don’t have good photos of this polish on me just yet.

I’ve wanting to try this Lawless Forget the Filler Gloss for awhile now, and finally got one in the shade Nudie. It does indeed give a bit of a plump, and I love the light pinky nude shade, which has a subtle pearly finish. I haven’t used it enough to notice if it smooths lip lines, but I will report back.

Our hotel in Geneva last fall had Diptyque toiletries in the bathroom and I fell in love with the scent of the Lait Frais [affiliate link] body lotion. I brought the travel sized bottle home and still have it, but I’m excited to have a full sized bottle as well. I liked the scent of it so much that I emailed the brand to ask if they had any similar fragrances and they recommended Do Son, which I ordered and wear fairly regularly. However, the fragrance doesn’t smell as good as this Fresh Lotion, IMO!

I’m so fortunate to receive such great birthday love and gifts! Thanks to everyone who helped make the day special!
