My Favourite Christmas Gifts

So Christmas has come and gone quicker than you can say 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'. I'm very grateful for everything I got this year and I'd just like to show you all a few of my favourites...they may not be very expensive but are very sentimental to me.

First there is my beautiful 'The Leather Satchel Company' bag. Its the original chestnut brown colour and is beautifully hand crafted. This was my main Christmas present which I have wanted for a very long time and now to finally have one is a dream come true. Its a perfect fit for all my school essentials at 15". I love it very much and if you're thinking about buying one I advise you to go for a colour that would really suit you as they really go with anything you wear.


Next is my favourite perfume from my favourite designer 'daisy' by Marc Jacobs. I first brought a Marc perfume when I was out in Gibraltar in a cruise. We brought it because I'd always wanted one and out there they are a lot cheaper, and I completely fell in love with 'dot'. so I thought I'd try a different one and its smells so lovely! Well worth the buy.



 

Another one of my favourites is my 5 seconds of summer t-shirt. I've been a fan for quite a while now and to be able to show that off to the world makes me super proud of the boys! It might not be as expensive but I do love band merch!!





Another favourite of mine is a special little bell brought by my mam. Its wrapped up in a little red, white and green box that is supposed to symbolise the gift from 'The Polar Express'. It is my favourite Christmas film and one of my favourite all time films. Inside the little box is a note from Santa and a little bell. It also has a little sticker in the bottom that says 'believe'. This is supposedly the first gift of Christmas if you've seen the film. If not I advise you watch it. This may not have been very expensive but is a very sentimental gift to me and I love it so much.

 
And my final favourite Christmas present (besides my cd's) is my Camera! It is a Nikon Coolpix L30. It takes amazing pictures and has an amazing zoom and focus! If you're contemplating getting a camera I strongly recommend this one.

Favourite Albums

                                    Favourite Music

As a music lover I prefer to have the physical albums rather than the downloaded version of them. These are my favourite albums of my collection but I hope to gain more over time.
The albums range in music genre's from pop to alternative to rock. So this is just my opinion on the music I own.

 

'X' (Multiply)  - By Ed Sheeran:

I am a massive fan of Ed since 'Loose Change' and I'm so proud of how far he's come! Multiply is the number 1 selling album of 2014 in the uk and his music is a true masterpiece. My favourite songs from the album are 'I'm a mess' 'Nina' and 'Tenerife sea'. I 10/10 recommend this album for purchase.

'AM' - By Arctic Monkeys:

The Arctic Monkeys are one of my favourite bands and I love the new album. My grandma recommended them to me as she liked them when they released 'baby I'm yours'. The songs are more of a alternative genre compared to Ed but appeals massively to me. One of my all time favourite songs is on this album 'R U MINE?'.  I rate this album a 9/10 and highly recommend.

'The 1975' - By The 1975:

The 1975 are one out of two of my favourite bands. I fell in love with them when they first released 'chocolate' and have loved them ever since. I own quite a lot of the bands merchandise and love every single member. This album is one of the best in existence in my opinion. It is an alternative genre and includes the singles 'chocolate' and 'sex'. It also includes my favourite ever song 'robbers'. I give this album 10/10 and highly recommend the band and album.

'5 seconds of summer' - By 5 Seconds Of Summer:

5 Seconds Of Summer are another of my favourite bands. I am seeing them live on their 'rock out with your socks out' tour in June 2015. I became a fan back when they were doing the 'Take Me Home' tour with one direction and still am to this day. I love the album which includes the singles 'she looks so perfect', 'don't stop', 'amnesia' and 'good girls'. My favourite songs from the album are '18', 'beside you', 'end up here', and 'long way home' which was co- written with another of my favourites Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low. This album along with their newest released 'livesos',which I own on iTunes, are both brilliant and worth buying. 10/10

'Yours Truly' - By Ariana Grande:

While I am normally not a fan of Ariana, there are a few tracks on this cd which I quite like. I got this album for Christmas 2013. 'The Way' ft. Mac Miller is my favourite from the album along with 'Popular Song' with Mika taken from the musical 'wicked'. Although I like these few songs I am not a very big fan of Ariana because of her voice and style of music, so I only rate this album a 6/10.

'Last Night EP' - By The Vamps:

I have been a very big fan of The Vamps from the beginning with their YouTube covers. Then when 'Can We Dance' we released, they came to Portsmouth with wave 105. It was here I got the chance to meet the boys with some friends. They were so lovely and down to earth and I'm so proud of how far they've come from seeing them do a little show in gunwharf to selling our arena tours in 2014 which I also attended on the 12th of October at Bournemouth international centre. The EP is a really good taster of what the boys music is really like. I rate this 8/10 because there is only 1 original song.

'Bullet in a bible' - By Green Day:

This album is the live version of the Milton Keynes show and also includes the DVD version of the show. It is an amazing album and proves how good the band are live. quite like 'livesos'. It includes songs like 'American Idiot', 'Holiday' and 'Good Riddance (time of your life). I highly recommend this album and all there others. I give this album a 9/10.

I hope you take into consideration my recommendations as I would love more people to listen to my favourite bands. if you have any questions, don't be afraid to contact me:)

Thankyou for reading

About the author

Hi everyone!

I'm Alice-Mai and I'm 14 years old. I come from a very small town in England that not many people have heard of. There isn't much to do in this town so you kind of have to make your own fun, for me that happens to be blogging and listening to my favourite music. I do have other hobbies such as drawing (which I am no good at) and dancing, which I adore with all my heart but you can only dance in certain places and if I'm not in those places then I must make my own entertainment. Anyway, enough of me babbling on, thank you for taking a look at my blog and if you have any questions then don't hesitate to ask me on my other social networking sites.

Thank you, love from Alice x
