Yay, I'm first to post!!!

Thank you so much to my swapee, I am delighted with my lot

I got some lovely things all prettily wrapped and in a lovely box:
- lightup snowman
- bag of praline stars
- handcream
- lip balm
- hand warmer which I absoutely love as my hands get so cold while working!
I was delighted with the handcream and lip balm as they are something I use all the time and nearly out of handcream in the kitchen, so perfect timing !!

and a lovely present for DD who was thrilled when she came in from school to have gotten something.

Thank you so much and Happy Christmas :xmas:

I got me fab package today. Was delighted to see the postman coming with it. Loads of little parcels wrapped up. Myself and dd had great fun opening them!
I got:
A chocolate Santa Santa(which dd opened and stuffed into herself before I caught her)
Two pairs of Christmas socks (of course dd then decided they were for her babies...)
A personalise your own decoration
Christmas festive cupcake kit
A Christmas facecloth
A box of chocolate tree decorations from Cadburys
A sitting snowman character (perfect as we have a couple of these, I love them)
A large snowflake for tree (it is fab and looks like it was handmade, really love this)
A mini spiced orange Yankee candle (smells devine)
A bottle of Christmas spice oil
Lastly a silver flowered thingy (not to sure what I do with it! Lol)


Had to edit as tablecloth showed up instead of facecloth!
Thanks so much to my swapee. Was absolutely delighted with my haul!

that's an amazing haul (and some pretty smart shopping to get all that for 20euros!) - i feel a bit bad for the person getting my gift now :-(
Enjoy all of it!

A card, Christmas mug, a fab blingy Newbridge Christmas decoration ( which is very timely as I was just finishing tree when postman called so its gone straight on!) wine glass charms and 3 different Christmas chocolates which are calling me loudly! The parcel at the back is a separate present for my children which I will let DD open and was so thoughtful.

Thanks so much Swapee, I am delighted with my gifts.

Received mine just now. I was just about to get in the car to do a school run so it was perfect timing. I'm at the school now & had to open it in the car cos I was so excited :-D

I got a beautiful decoration to hang which I love, a sachet of scented pine cones which made the box smell lovely. Whoever bought them couldn't have chosen better as certain scents give me headaches but not this one :-D. I also got a choc Santa which I'd say ds will want, a gorgeous teddy that can be heated in the microwave which dd will adore & makeup that I'll definitely have to fight dd for lol. As well as that I got a beautiful card that I presume the mm's dd made & the box all of it came in was filled with mini Christmas crackers :-D. I'll put up a photo when I get home.

I'm totally thrilled & can't thank my secret mm enough. :-D

my neighbour just dropped by with my parcel!

Whoop whoop - so exciting!

Thrilled with all my presents thank you so much to my swapee.

Girls got a wobbly tin santa with sweets in, I got a bar for my cuppa and a beautiful HSR Christmas card, a fabulous star lampshade and some oh so cute decorations for the tree.

Girls have dance/drama show on so am strapped for time but will photo later... will of course have to take the decs back off the tree and put the lampshade together!!!

But thank you so much, really made my day!

I'm after getting mine and WOW is all I can say. I got this big box delivered and when I opened it, it was full of Christmas!!!

In it was a Busy Mum calendar, candy canes, scented tealights, and there were other gifts that I waited till I got home to open (with a little help from my 2 kids :biggrin: )
After unwrapping the gifts I also got - a vaseline kit (for my nails and lips) another two scented candles in tins, a third scented candle in a glass, Toblerone and the kids LOVED their Lindt chocolate animals!!! If I've forgotten to mention something I apologise. There was just so many gifts I started to lose track :xmas: :biggrin:

Thanks so much to the Magicmum that sent to me.

To all magicmums, I'd like to wish you all a very happy Christmas & a peaceful & prosperous 2013.
