Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope you are all doing well!

This year was a quiet one. I mean there was definitely volume, but I mean quiet as in it was fairly chill. The lead up wasn't - so much cleaning - but the day itself was so chill and smooth. One of the best yet for me.

This is a little bit of a brag post about what I got, I like to share, but in regards to collectibles, it's not much, and I bought them long before Christmas, or put on layby and paid off leading up to it.

It's because I knew no one would get me anything collectible, okay? I was right by the way, no one does anymore.

BUT THAT'S OKAY! If it's me buying my gifts, at least I know I'm not getting something I already have... unless it's a blind box... yikers.

I'll go through everything I got anyway. Each side of my family did a Secret Santa so we'd all get one present from each side. I didn't mind that, I thought that was fair and guaranteed everyone would get a present no matter what... It also meant we'd get less clutter and nonsense we didn't want or need.

On my Mum's side, I got a T2 loose tea brewer and a box each of loose peppermint herbal and french earl grey black tea. Yummy. On my Dad's side, I got a 'Crystal Creations' Anne Stokes Collection diamond dot art canvas called 'North Star', which is a unicorn and an elf I think. Her hair covers her ears, I don't know. I finished it on Christmas day xD

For some reason, though I also got some money from my Uncle, Aunt, and cousins on my dad's side. An unexpected but pleasant surprise. I'll likely allocate it to more stuff to review here if I ever get through what I've got already.

Help me I'm drowning in responsibilityyyyyy!

Alright, now onto what I got myself.

4x 5 Surprise Unicorn Squad series 2! The series I missed, couldn't find anywhere, and when I did find one, it was one of the few I didn't want! But I found them again, the last 4 in the case, and put them away for Christmas.

I opened them as soon as I got a couple minutes to myself, so no review for these little cuties. I got Cooper, Alina, Lively, and Disco! they're all just recolours and accessory switch-around of series 1 with thick glitter hair but a few of them I do like. Of these Cooper is the only one I don't want, what a fantastic haul. I got my first ever BLUE cloud slime putty stuff (that smells like BUBBLEGUM! YUCK), and some more purple to add to what I have :)

2x 5 Surprise Fairy Unicorn Squad! These I'd been eyeballing for months and intended on buying a full case for review. I didn't, haven't, but I got myself two for Christmas to have an offline first look at them, and I must say I'm impressed. Unlike any other set, I want at least half of these, and when I get around to possibly buying a whole case, I absolutely will. Okay okay, I got Stormy - an ice fairy (Winx Club would loudly disagree with that), and Ivy - a plant fairy. They're cute and I love them, and when I open more for review I'll get into more details about them.

I also got some Batch 1 Potion Ponies. I'm a big brain and used code hacks to search through a case and pick out just canon ones I was looking for. I got Rarity - C, Princess Celestia - E, Winnona - L, and Tank - N. No I didn't dissolve their baggies to reveal them because they're GROSS. I cut them open instead vuv


Two last things I got are Lone Star from the OMG Remix series

AND

THE SUPER SONIX SUPER SURPRISE!!!

I uh, I don't have photos of them yet, because I'll be honest, they're still wrapped up. Lone Star is in one of my best efforts of wrapping a weirdly shaped box ever, and the Super Sonix are still in the black garbage bags from the layby. These two I will definitely be doing reviews on, being expensive and all.

-----

What did you get for Christmas? Did you get Rainbow High? LOL's? What about some FailFix or Barbie? Did you get some Unicorn Squad, My Little Pony, or OMG's too?

Whatever you got, appreciate it and whoever gave it to you. Be grateful for whatever you receive on Christmas, be it a little or a lot. Physical gifts are nice, but memories made with people who you love and love you are the best gifts of all. After all, they're once in a lifetime experiences.

Have a happy new year everyone

L.O.L. O.M.G. Super Sonix Super Surprise

Note: Click on pics to enlarge! This review is taking a temporary reversion to my old boring format but I've recorded the whole unboxing for your viewing pleasure. Please forgive the quality, it's my fourth vid, so I'm still learning how to use Filmora to its full extent. The full time of the unboxing, dressing and tidy up took over two hours which I've crammed into two 20 min parts with the magic of editing.  Split in two cause my account wasn't verified and it was talking 12+ hours to upload D: [Part 1] [Part2] I took pictures during the unboxing up until I removed Bhad Girl from the box because her face shocked me so much I forgot to keep taking photos. They're kind of pointless because I filmed the whole thing, so I'll be mostly taking a more in-depth look at just the dolls here. The L.O.L. O.M.G. Super Sonix Super Surprise can be found at Target and Big W for $199. If you were smart (not like me) and waited for the Christmas sales, you would have picked...

Barbie Colour Reveal Mermaids - Why Are There Twelve Codes?

Late to the party as usual, yes I know. These tubes have been sitting around, being bumped, knocked, and kicked over since before Christmas 'cause I've been busy with other stuff so I think it's time I crack into them. I purchased them for what I think was $17 each? It's been a while and I'm not sure where the receipt is lol. Regular retail is anywhere between $20-30 here, and they were 'on sale'. Much like the Chelseas, the Barbies have codes printed on the top to identify who is inside. The black print makes these so much easier to read and photograph. [Codes] [2] The numbers that matter are the second and third, so for example; 2540I - 5 and 4 are the two numbers of importance, which I'll bracket from now on. While I was picking some up at Target though, I found that there was not only a set of a consecutive sequence of five but also some others with random numbers. The consecutive codes are as follows, and after I've opened them all I will have a...

Poopsie Surprise Fantasy Friends - Hunting the mythical mermaids

Note: Click on pics to enlarge! POOPSIE SURPRISE FANTASY FRIENDS BY MGA! They've been out for a WHOLE year, and I've been squinting at them for as long, trying to decide if they're worth it to buy. I hate slime, I hate messy glitter but the dolls do be kinda cute tho! I bought one of these months before this 'official' review, but she was neither Shelly Scarlet (above)  / Misty Coral - both mermaids - nor one of the others that I wanted to keep but gave me excellent insight to who and what is in the set. I'm a picky little bugger and want absolutely none of the boys nor the rainbow-drizzle dolls. See below my roughed-up checklist. [checklist with edits][2] As per usual, my favourites and ones I want the most are the rarest ones to find. I'm cursed! ACK! Big W is the only place that seems to stock Poopsie Surprise Fantasy Friends anymore, and at $ 29 AUD for just one, you'd hope hunting down the ones you want would be easier but it's noooot. I though...
