I received a brilliant (and super functional) foldaway shopping bag. I also received suede nail polish. SUEDE! I had never heard of it before and it is a perfect addition to my addiction! It is so soft (and somewhat distracting from everyday life as I end up just stroking my nails). Love it.

Finally, and most incredibly, I received a neuron Giant Microbe teddy. Something I have literally wanted for years. He has been named "Stormin' Norman" after Norman Carr - a pathology lecturer at my med school. We are currently doing neurology so Stormin' Norman was perfect and has developed somewhat of a large fanbase already. I have added photos of Norman both giving and listening to lectures. Best Christmas ever. He goes everywhere with me and I love him.
