Addition to the Handbag Family! | teacups and tealights

I recently received a belated 18th birthday present from my Auntie, who I rarely get to see as she lives far away from me. This means that we don't get a lot of time to talk about the things we love so buying presents for each other is pretty tricky. Despite this, I completely and utterly loved it! It turned out to be something I had had on my wishlist for ages...

Sparklers

Halloween

Let loose in London: Bond in Motion | teacups and tealights

I 100% prefer buying presents than receiving them. Anyone else? It's getting to watch them open a present that you know they will love and seeing them be so pleased with it. It's my boyfriend's 19th birthday next Tuesday and knowing him very well makes it even more fun going present shopping (though it can damage your bank balance!). I decided that I wanted to take him somewhere awesome as one of his two birthday presents, so I began the Google search. Eventually I found something ideal and I marveled at the perfection. An exhibition in the London Film Museum, Covent Garden featuring most of the iconic vehicles from the James Bond film franchise. 1) He is a hardcore James Bond fan, 2) he is madly in love with the Aston Martin DB5, along with several other well known Bond cars. I don't think I could have found a better gift.
