My mum bought me a set of "If you're waiting for a sign..." cards from Mr Yen. I am determined to send more cards to friends this year, so these will come in handy. I may have to keep one for myself though as they're rather wonderful.
... and she also got me this Woodpeckers print from Dee Beale, whose work regular readers will know that I just cannot resist!
I also treated myself to a couple of nice things as a sort of "Christmas bonus" for being such a hard-working employee (there are definite perks to being your own boss sometimes, haha!).
A silver coin charm necklace from Mrs Gibson, which I wore throughout the holiday season because a) I am in love with it and b) it is the perfect length for wearing with all my nice frocks.
And a bag from Showpony. I bought a shopper and a purse from Showpony five years ago and have used them regularly ever since, and I'm sure I'll be saying the same about this bag in five years time. It is quite gorgeous.
Of course I bought lots of gifts for other people too... mostly books and DVDs and things like that, but I also got a Charley Harper jigsaw puzzle from Hus & Hem for my mum. I bought her another jigsaw from the same range last year and frankly both of these purchases have been because I secretly want them myself even though I've not done a jigsaw in years.

Hi Laura! Thanks so much for mentioning the greeting cards - I'm glad you like them ^_^
I got a copy of 'Fa La La La Felt', which I loved. This led me to you and this blog which I also love! I devoured your cafetiere cosy tutorial and used the great idea of a felted wool lining to help me create my own cosy. Thanks so much and you can see the results here;
