  • Hey guys, happy New Year, we are still in England staying with christmas family and I thought I would wrap up the christmas season with one last cozy christmas video because I love watching these gonna show you guys what I got for christmas.

  • I got some interesting presents from chris and some good ones.

  • It was a nice assortment and I got some really nice things from his family and I actually have two last things that I have still yet to open one is from an amazing graphic designer that works with chris.

  • He sent a really nice package of presents for the entire abroad in Japan team and I've just been really excited to open this.

  • So we're finally going to open it today and I've also got this which is a kitty christmas cracker.

  • I was shopping at this really fancy store in London called Fortnum and Mason.

  • It's beautiful, they specialize in tea and chocolate and homewares and it's just like my ideal store.

  • So when I saw that they had christmas crackers for cats, I had to get one.

  • This was not cheap.

  • I think this was third £35, it's filled with things for the cats.

  • I have no idea what's in it.

  • So I'm really looking forward to opening this up as well.

  • And then I've got my big stash of gifts from everybody that I want to share with you guys.

  • So let's get started.

  • Alright first I want to share the presents I got from Chris's family, they know me so well, they got me all the things I love starting with this beautiful pink teapot.

  • It's for loose leaf tea, so it's got an infuser inside, so you just put your tea leaves in, it makes it really easy.

  • Super cute brand is Upper Street and it looks like their websites, Upper Street Home dot com if you would like to match with me.

  • And they got me this really cute tin of tea to go with it.

  • Peter rabbit, This is Earl Gray tea.

  • I haven't tried it yet, but it smells really good.

  • I love tea tins, I keep them all and store stationery and stuff in them afterwards and this one's adorable.

  • Look really cute in my house.

  • Next I got a set of skincare which you know I love.

  • This is pixie.

  • The vitamin C set.

  • Vitamin C is one of my favorite skincare ingredients because it's really brightening for your skin.

  • I have really light skin, but after I get a pimple or something it usually leaves a bit of a dark mark, but vitamin C will help fade though, so I'm really looking forward to trying this out.

  • This is the pixie brand and it comes with a toner, a cream.

  • This is like a face mist.

  • I've never tried one of those before, but I guess you're just supposed to like spray it on your face throughout the day to wake yourself up.

  • It looks really nice and also vitamin C masks, so it should be fun to try this.

  • I'll let you guys know what I think next.

  • They got me this fun sushi themed game.

  • It's called the sushi stacking challenge.

  • It comes with all these really cute sushi parts, a little soy sauce, fish and then a bunch of these cards of different sushi ingredients and then I guess you have to stack them because it's called Mac Hockey, Mackie's Roll.

  • Sushi roll.

  • I've been wanting to get some more board games for the house for when friends come over.

  • So I'm looking forward to playing this.

  • If you've played before, let me know.

  • Do you like it?

  • I need to find the instructions other there.

  • Apparently there's also a few card.

  • The fatal fugu is such a cute design.

  • I can't wait to play.

  • Next is probably one of my face gifts because if you know me, if you've watched some of my vlogs at home, you know, I'm obsessed with these reusable Starbucks cups.

  • They are so handy for making a smoothie in the morning or just encouraging yourself to drink water because their massive, if you fill this up with water that's like several cups out of your daily quota.

  • And they got me this set of 55 different ones.

  • No, there's more seven.

  • They're all different colors and apparently they change color as well.

  • They're the color changing ones.

  • These ones are so cute, they've got this confetti in them and it's the confetti that changes color when you add cold water to it.

  • These are all the different colors.

  • Apparently one of them is rainbow confetti and they came with a bunch of cute, reasonable straws as well.

  • How fun is that?

  • If you're in the UK and you are looking for a way to encourage drink more water, go to Starbucks and get this adorable tumbler set.

  • Alright, let's open one of the presents that I've yet to open.

  • Can you please open this present from matt and Clara at retro design coat.

  • Thank you so much.

  • You guys.

  • It's also got homemade paper.

  • His designs are amazing.

  • He designed the doctor jelly merch.

  • If you've seen chris's doctor jelly shorts, very talented.

  • Feel bad ripping this paper.

  • It's so amazing.

  • Oh, that's so cute!

  • Oh my God, you guys.

  • This is so nice.

  • It's a pouch with tomorrow, tomorrow here and a tuna design.

  • How cute is that?

  • Thank you so much.

  • This is actually the perfect size to fit like my camera cables and batteries and stuff.

  • I will probably be using it for that.

  • How cute, cheers, matt.

  • That's awesome.

  • I love it so much now that we're in the cat mood.

  • Let's open the cat cracker as well because I'm dying to know what's in here, £35. What is that in dollars.

  • I think it's like 50 Canadian dollars or something ridiculous but this was a very expensive store so it's probably insanely overpriced but I had to get the cat something for christmas, I hope there's some toys inside here that they like.

  • There was a note on the package that said it doesn't make a noise like a regular cracker because that would scare cats.

  • So there's no poppy thing inside, but let's just open it and see, oh, a massive mouse is the first thing to come out of it.

  • It's got little tag on it that says Fortnum and mason.

  • I feel like tuna will love this morrow is a little pickier with his mice.

  • I think he likes them smaller, but I can see tuna really chewing on this and kicking it.

  • He likes kicking things.

  • That's cute.

  • What else do we have?

  • I think that's it.

  • This is the only thing that was inside.

  • It wasn't £35.

  • I looked it up, it was £25 but that is definitely not worth it.

  • That was extremely expensive.

  • But like I said, Fortnum and mason is a really fancy store.

  • So you're paying for the luxury brand name.

  • I, I suppose hopefully one of the cats enjoys this extremely expensive mouse from England will make sure to bring it back with me.

  • Alright, moving on to gifts from chris, I will show you probably the most surprising that I certainly was not expecting the marmite gift set, everything I could ever want in a basket marmite peanuts, rice cakes, cashews marmite peanut butter marmite flatbread and what's the last one marmite breakfast biscuits and then it's also got this little bag that has little miniature packets of actual marmite in it.

  • So I've actually never tried it before.

  • I've got some bread in the kitchen.

  • So shall we make marmite toast?

  • I asked you guys once what was the best way to eat this stuff?

  • And somebody told me a thin layer on buttered toast.

  • So that's what we're gonna do.

  • I trust you guys.

  • I know Natsuki is not a fan of this and lots of people aren't so I don't imagine that it's gonna taste overly good, but there are some of you that just swear by this stuff and tell me it's really delicious if you prepare it properly.

  • So let's take one of these cute little marmite containers and try it.

  • Alright, here we go.

  • My first ever marmite thinly spread on buttered toast.

  • Like you guys always tell me to eat it.

  • Mm No, it's really good.

  • Just really salty.

  • Is that soy sauce.

  • I like it.

  • I'm not sure if it's the type of thing that I would reach for or like crave for breakfast or anything.

  • I think it's a little too salty for me.

  • You know what it reminds me of the black ramen that we ate in.

  • Tolima.

  • That was just like pure soy sauce.

  • That So, this flavor reminds me of, Yeah, just a bit too strong and a bit too salty.

  • Maybe I put too much on you guys, let me know.

  • I tried to do a thin layer, but maybe I was a little too heavy handed.

  • So marmite experts, let me know what I'm doing wrong if I did something wrong.

  • But it is all right.

  • Yeah, It's not bad at all.

  • You know what I really want to try is the marmite peanut butter.

  • So let's make another piece of toast.

  • You're just in time to try the marmite peanut butter.

  • You bought it?

  • I like peanut butter.

  • I like marmite.

  • Do you together?

  • It can't work.

  • I don't know.

  • You like marmite.

  • Mhm.

  • It's a cat.

  • Mm It's not bad, but I don't think it's good either.

  • It feels like it's it's the it's the worst of both world.

  • Is it just like really salty peanut butter?

  • Hmm.

  • It's maybe one real peanut butter though.

  • Thanks for the lovely christmas present.

  • Oh, why so salty.

  • Mm No.

  • Oh sh it Oh shit.

  • You know, I tried the marmite on toast a second ago and it tasted like that black ramen we had tastes just like, yeah, those were good actually.

  • I don't like the peanut butter while you guys on twitter that told me it was like your favorite thing.

  • How do you eat that fools?

  • I'm assuming like a really thin, really thin spread of it because that was inedible.

  • Sorry, can I show them when I got you that clock thing.

  • Well, the clock thing.

  • Oh yeah, try the fish.

  • So I thought I found this really cool present for chris, but he wasn't overly impressed.

  • It is called the law metric time.

  • And what's really cool is you can connect it to your instagram or your youtube, your twitter or whatever and it can no Notify you when you get a certain number of subscribers, you can set it up.

  • It's all customizable.

  • So like every 10 new subscribers you get, you can get it to pop up with a message and noises.

  • It's really fun if he doesn't use it, I'm going to use it to watch all my subscribers go down the toilet.

  • You've lost, you've lost.

  • You can turn that off so that it's only positive.

  • But yeah, if any of you guys do social media, you can find this on Amazon.

  • I think it's really fun.

  • I will link it down below.

  • Alright, next up in weird things chris got me National Geographic, my first rock and fossil collector set ages eight and up.

  • This might seem really random.

  • Probably wondering why the hell he got me this.

  • But we're actually going on a trip to the dress at coast in England next week and I'm really excited about collecting fossils there.

  • So that's how this came about.

  • This is actually kind of cool.

  • It comes with a bunch of rocks and actual fossils.

  • Gemstones and all kinds of things.

  • And then a little book to identify them.

  • He also got me like a proper fossil book.

  • Like that handbook of fossils and in here you can see all the different types of ammonites that you can collect on the Jurassic coast here in England.

  • These are the kind of things we're gonna be looking for.

  • I think it's gonna be so fun.

  • I might vlog and I'm not sure.

  • I might just enjoy it and share what we find on instagram or some.

  • But these are the kind of cool things you can just pick up on the beach in England and you're totally allowed to do it.

  • There are some rules like you're not allowed to dig them out of cliffs or anything, but if you find anything along the water on the beach, you are allowed to pick it up and keep it.

  • But hopefully I can find something, it looks like it's pretty common to just go for a walk on the beach and be able to find an almond night.

  • So wish me luck.

  • I'm really excited about that.

  • And finally moving on to my favorite things, He got me some really nice jewelry from my favorite jewelry company, Monica venator.

  • This is a little travel kit that I can keep all my jewelry pieces in really handy because I usually kind of just check them in my bag and they get all scratched up.

  • So this is really cute and it's perfect for me.

  • And he got me these earrings really comfy ones that you can sleep in.

  • They just have a little class like this that opens and closes.

  • So there's no backing or post to poke you.

  • This is my first pair of earrings like this and I really love them because I can just keep them in all the time.

  • And he got me this ring which didn't fit on christmas day, but now I think my fingers have shrunk a little bit.

  • You've burnt off the christmas dinner and I can fit it on a couple of my fingers fine.

  • So that's a relief.

  • Really pretty.

  • And finally this little necklace that I'm wearing.

  • So cute.

  • I will link the website down below.

  • They have the prettiest jewelry if you like gold jewelry like I do.

  • I think you'll love their stuff.

  • Only also got me this tripod which will make vlogging a hell of a lot easier because my last one was a piece of sh it.

  • So this is probably one of my favorite presents.

  • It's really nice.

  • It's a little bit bigger than my last one and I think it will probably last a little bit longer because I think it's a little bit more expensive.

  • I had a dinky little one before.

  • Jobe is known for getting like a little loose after using them for a while and it's kind of hard to stand up the tripod, but hopefully this one will last a little longer.

  • I'm just excited to have a new one because it's been a couple of years, but that's it.

  • I hope you guys all had a really nice end to the year and I'll see you probably back in Japan next.

  • Unless I film the fossil stuff, would you be interested in coming fossil hunting with us?

  • Let me know.

  • I'll film it if you guys want to see it.

  • Otherwise I will see you back in Japan in a couple of weeks.

  • Bye for now.

  • Happy New Year.

Hey guys, happy New Year, we are still in England staying with christmas family and I thought I would wrap up the christmas season with one last cozy christmas video because I love watching these gonna show you guys what I got for christmas.
