December Haul 💰💸

As every year, December was the most expensive month. Christmas presents, Christmas markets with their delicious food, our annual Disneyland Paris Christmas trip - it's no surprise that I'm always broke once the New Year hits. I got so many wonderful things for Christmas and bought quite a few bits myself in December so I thought I could share them today.

Thanks to the new Mary Poppins movie that recently came out, there are plenty of new pieces of merchandise of everyone's favourite nanny.

This cutie was a Christmas present from my parents. She's from the World of Miss Mindy by Enesco and was released just a few days before Christmas. The carousel scene inside Mary's dress lights up and plays the musical tune "Jolly Holiday".

After years and years of being unsuccessful with limited edition dolls, the odds were finally in my favour again. I LOVE HER. Just look at her face! It's so accurate and the details on her are practically perfect in every way! Now I really want the Cinderella live action LE doll so I have a LE of all my favourite characters.

This plush doll from DLP is self explanatory. The current collection of plush dolls in the Disney Store is a huge disappointing for me. They don't even look like the characters they are supposed to portray - that's why I'm so grateful that this one turned out so good.

I got three Funko Pops from my parents as a surprise - one more from my dear friend Becci. They didn't arrange anything but it turned out that Becci got me the only Funko that was missing to complete my collection. That's what I call a Christmas miracle!

This was a present from my friends Agnes and Kelvin. So cute! Can't wait to read it.

Except for the trinket dish, all these things are presents that Becci gave to me. :') I told her that our local Primark has barely anything from the new Mary Poppins range but I would have never dreamt of getting everything I wanted from it! Isn't she she cutest bean?! She even got me the soundtrack, as if all the other things weren't enough already.

One of the biggest mistakes I've done was to start collecting pins. They are so small and yet so expensive but I can't resist them. I'm really surprised, the pin range in DLP was so much better then it was in summer. I had to restrain myself from buying even more then the ones I already got. I even found a limited edition pin from 2016 and traded another pin for it! So happy about this one!

This beautiful Cinderella was another Christmas present I got from my parents. She was on my wishlist for the longest time and she's even more beautiful in person. The Haute Couture collection by Enesco is one of my favourites.

This is a popcorn bucket. I paid 24,99€. The popcorn was good. No regrets.

This super cute blanket was a present from my brother and his girlfriend. They even personalised it with my name!! My mum got the Frozen version of it, while I have the princess one.

So... I finally went to the famous Primark in Val d'Europe. And I found a duvet cover with Rapunzel on it. Of course I had to get it. It's not like I didn't buy six other duvet covers in the last month... Of course not...

Talking about Primark, I also got this PJs. It was a bargain, 4€ only. I regret that I didn't buy it twice, after all there's Moana on it, it's fleece and in my favourite colours pastel pink and lilac.

Actually, I already own a pair of these gloves but I forgot them in our car so I had to get another pair. They're warm and pink, I can't complain.

Actually, I bought four pairs of these. As mentioned in another post before, I'll go on a trip with my girls in May and as we were afraid that they could be sold out when we need them, I got them in advance. #PurpleEarSquad 💪

A Christmas present from me, to me. The sun of Corona is one of my favourite symbols so of course I had to get it.

This mug was released a few months ago and I was afraid it might be sold out already. I mean, look at this beauty. It combines the tower, a lantern, the Corona sun, Rapunzel's signature AND it says "Reach for the stars" on the inside. However, it's the most expensive mug I've ever bought - 24,99€, so it doesn't surprise me that they still had plenty of them left. No regrets though.

I asked my friend Agnes if she could get me Cookie, the adorable dog in the middle. Kelvin gave her to me in DLP and I'm so happy as I have all female friends of Duffy now! Aren't they the cutest girl squad ever?

This sheet metal sign and the Moana lip smacker are also gifts from Becci. She's crazy, isn't she? The Mickey anniversary key is a gift from my aunt, she got it as a present herself when she visited the Oxford Disney Store on Mickey's 90th anniversary.

Even more Funko Pops. Who would have thought, right? I got Moana and Te Fiti from my brother and his girlfriend, Pink Diamond was another present from me, to me. Now my Pearl is no longer alone! Gosh, someone has to stop me, this whole Funko Pop thing is getting out of control.

Another present from my aunt! I love this shirt so much! All the other Queen shirts I've seen were black and I don't wear black so this is a blessing for me.

Last but not least, the last one of Becci's presents for me. I don't know what to say anymore about this, I feel so spoilt. :'D

I hope I didn't forget anything but I think this should be all. A new year has begun and now it's time to save money again, after all at least two more DLP trips are awaiting me this year. Let's pray that Disney won't release any new Rapunzel/Mary Poppins merchandise in the near future so I'll be safe (who am I kidding? There are at least 5 upcoming figures by Enesco).
