Around the end of October Clare from "The Love Of All Things Beauty" wrote a blog post to ask if anyone fancied doing a secret santa type blog swap for Christmas! I commented to say I would be interested in doing one with someone in the US and Chie from The Brown Eyed Fox wanted commented below to say she wanted to do one with me so we were paired up!
We both set a limit and told each other any specific items we wanted and the buyer decides on what to buy with the remaining budget. We posted quite early to ensure delivery arrived before Chrismas, when my package arrived I left my package at work to avoid the temptation of opening it at home!
Christmas day arrived and I couldn't wait to open up to see what was inside! Tula seemed to have her eye on a few items.....haha
Here are all the goodies....can't believe how much she managed to fit inside that little box! Thank you!! My favs has to be the GLAMGLOW masks and the Skin Food Avocado serum - review coming up soon.
I am heading to either Florida or Miami next month so a lot of the Skin Food samples will come in handy for travels. I can't wait to try the Bath & Body Works shower gels either especially the lavender and honey one!!!
The swap was a success and I can't wait to do another one! Thanks Chie!!! : )
Have you guys done any swaps and how did it go? If you haven't would you like to do one?????!!!
That sounds amazing but I'd be to worried doing swaps with randoms

Yes I am very pleased with my goodies! Swaps are a bit of a hit miss from what I have read but I was lucky my first one was very good!
DeleteOh my goodness ! This is such a lovely idea, I wish I'd known! I'd love to do something like this :) You guys are awesome. And look at all those treats! :) :) Big thumbs up

Thanks Betty! I may organise one this year...will let you know! x
DeleteWow that's such a good idea, and you got some amazing things! I never even knew people did things like this, I would be a little scared but going to see about giving it a go if I come across any! Bet you were so excited to get using all of these x

Thanks Tamzin - they are fun to do and if u want to try you can set a small budget and see how creative you guys can get! Thanks for reading!
DeleteHow epic is this parcel?!! I'm astonished by the amount of things that fitted in the box!
ReplyDeleteI know crazy right! Yup it wasn't even packed in tightly either but it was rather heavy but US posting to UK seems rather cheap considering the weight of it!
