What I Got For Christmas 🎁🎄 2023 | Erika DeOcampo

[@trishawaddell564]

So many fun gifts! My favourite gift was a purple hippo that sings ‘I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas’ and dances and shakes her tummy! I love the song and so did my late sister, who passed away 17 years ago, so it is a nice reminder for me of her. My tree has about 15 owl ornaments (so far-I’m always searching for more) on it and is even topped by one, in memory of my Dad who we lost a few years back and it’s nice to have those family reminders with us, especially as we no longer live anywhere around our remaining small family or friends ( they are all 14 hours away). The favourite gifts I gave were to my husband and were both dragon related as he collects them. He got the Jim Shore Elliot from Pete’s Dragon who I just adore ( love the animated movie, didn’t care so much for the live action one) and also a huge custom made dragon wreath for a door. It is stunning and one of a kind! I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere so it was amazing that someone nearby made this. It was so nice to have something custom to give him. I would say it was a quiet. Christmas with just the two of us but with 23 rescue animal (3 giant breed dogs, 2 cats, 2 chinchillas, 1 tortoise, 2 box turtles, 1 hedgehog and 11 sugar gliders) life is never truly quiet!

That Pete’s dragon Jim shore is stunning!! I’ve seen it! How thoughtful of you! And so awesome you got something handmade-that always adds a special touch!

You got a lot of great gifts this year. My fav of your haul was the Harry Potter advent book, the 2024 calendar, those Disney crew socks, and finally, the birth stone Minnie earrings (definitely putting that bug in my own hubby’s ears…such a cute idea since we’re taking the girls to Disney for their birthdays). Definitely record a video of you trying your treats! If you get a chance, can you do a TikTok or Reel with what JD, Juliana, and Jack got? I enjoyed when you did it in a past video. 💜

[@ErikaDeOcampo]

You’re so sweet Brandi!! Thank you for inquiring! Idk if I’ve ever showed what everyone got but I’d be happy to show it 🥰

I love the Costco Disney pajama sets! I didn’t get a pair this year, but your Mickey set looks so cute! Literally the best pjs ever!!! The biggest reaction to a gift I got for Christmas this year was my sister-in-law giving me the Marie cookie jar from Homegoods/TJMAXX. She knew I was on the hunt for it and couldn’t find it anywhere and had given up hope so I was so surprised!!! And she got me a Marie simple modern tumbler as well so it was a whole theme! 🤗🎀 The best gift given this year was my brother and I surprising our mom with a new tv! For the last few years everyone has given her a hard time because the screen was completely blue, but she kept saying it was normal and fine 😅 so once all of our gifts were opened, we brought it in as the grand finale and she was totally shocked! It was a great feeling and so fun to come up with such a big surprise that she never would have expected!!!

[@CoopersCorner201]

Gurrrrrl! I am so here for a chamoy pickle chow down!! Loved all your gifts this year... your family always knocks it out of the park! I myself got the most amazing gift this year... you might be too young to realize just how cool it is, BUT I got tickets to watch "Better Off Dead" 😎(yes, the 80's movie starring John Cusack). Why is that so exciting, you ask? Let me tell you... I get to watch it WITH John Cusack!!!! Like WHAT?!😮 So excited!!🤩

[@ErikaDeOcampo]

DAWN!!!! You’re kidding?!!!! Are you joking? No that movie isn’t one I’ve seen but I love a few 80s movies!! The Breakfast club is one of my all time favorites. I’m elated for you!! Please report back and share pics!!!!

[@theeclecticmemah]

I've been here long enough to know what disclaimer you were going to say! My favorite gift was 2 tickets to see "Chicago" touring company show in town! I'm not sure which gift I gave got the best reaction - with 4 grandkids everything is such a whirlwind. I would totally watch you and your family trying the pickle kit! I always check out my birthday month and if it's a day-by-day desk calendar I check out my birthday day! June has 3 birthstones - pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite.

[@ErikaDeOcampo]

Wow great to know on the birth stones!! Thank you soooo much! And thank you for answering about the pickle 🥒 😂 ohhhh my! Seeing Chicago is going to be awesome 👏🏼

[@ixzelramirez3895]

[@ErikaDeOcampo]

Oh no I didn’t even think about me LOVING it and needing another 😬

[@pixieandmagic]

I literally look forward to this every year because I’m nosey too hahahahah! I hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year! In the beginning when you said “what am I about to say” I literally was saying your disclaimer hahahah girl I’m a sol de janiero girlie too now! My sister got them for me for Christmas and I’m obsessed with 68. I love how much you are loved girl! My fav gifts this year were my Aldo Disney Shoes and my Coach Disney purse 🤩
