So this is a little belated but here are some photos of the Christmas gifts Zach and I exchanged this year. Although I loved all of the gifts that Zach got me, this necklace was probably my overall favorite. It's a miniature terrarium inside of a little jar! When I opened it I couldn't believe it, I've never seen anything like it before!
Mind the weird chest-shot, I was so excited when I got it, I put it on immediately and took a picture. And on the left is the amazing little description given with the necklace - "you have received a "You are my World" miniature terrarium pendant. A tiny green world in a miniature bottle." Love it!
Zach also got me a lovely print of a hedgehog on a vintage dictionary page, and a lovely coat from Target that I've been wanting for a long time now.
On the left is a photo of us in our touch-screen gloves. I got Zach's pair (orange) at Urban Outfitters, and mine at Target. On the right is a print that Zach bought for himself that comes from the same set as the one he bought for me. I love the bicycle man on this one.
Another gift I got Zach was Lana Del Rey's CD on Vinyl (partially because I was dying to hear it on vinyl) and partially because he's become about as obsessed with her as I am over the last few weeks. Needless to say, her songs sound great on a record player, but I was disappointed that "Without You" wasn't on the record :(
I also got Zach a hat, some cool shot glasses, and an anchor bracelet for Christmas. I wasn't sure if he would like the bracelet or think it was girly or anything, but it turns out he loves it and has been wearing it ever since he got it! :)
Here is a photo of me, my mom, and Daisy on Christmas.
It's funny, when I was little I started to develop this strange anxiety about getting fewer and fewer presents each year for Christmas as I got older, because all of the adults I knew barely got any gifts! But as I keep growing older I've noticed that the gifts really don't matter to me anymore. Sure, I did get some nice gifts this year, but it's the people you get to spend your holiday season with that really matter most. That's why I'm so excited to be able to commute for my January Term class for the next three weeks. My wonderful parents, boyfriend, and best friends are what matter most to me and I am beyond happy to be able to spend time with them during the holiday season.
p.s. look at these photos of me and my cousin!
Us in the center, from Christmas this year...
And a photo of us from last Christmas, it's funny to see how much we've both changed.
