Just updating with my surprises.

I got Boots Botanics Cleanser. Was on the lookout for a new cleanser so this was timed right.
Boots Botanics oil free moisturiser and
Boots Botanics Toner.

Also got 3 different yankees. Cherry Blossem, Garden Hideaway (nicest one) and Soft Blanket.

Cant wait to try the botanics stuff as I do buy it but the body stuff like the souffle.

Received mine this morning but unfortunately the main part got broken in the post :( It was a fabulous handcrafted wooden windmill. Gutted it was broken as it was beautiful.

The boys are already eating their lindt easter bunnies!

My huge bar of chocolate and 3 lemon yankee candles arrived in tact though. And the little fairy is gorgeous, boys are going to put it in the garden.

Thanks to my swopee and the boys were thrilled with the bunnies.

I've just received my swap and all I can say is 'WOW'

I opened my parcel to be greeted by lots of little individually wrapped presents (which I didn't do so apologies to my swapee :blush: ) and a beautiful card.

First there were some lovely choccies for the kids, some caramel bunnies and an Aero bubble lamb :biggrin:
Then I opened a beautiful wooden photo frame and lavender drawer scented drawer sachet.
Next was some cute little bunny shaped candles
Then a gorgeous hanging fairy with a tinkly bell on it :inlove: (dd has her eye on this already)
And finally a bar of Lindt extra creamy milk chocolate :biggrin:

I'm absolutely thrilled with everything! This was my first swap and the excitement of getting something in the post just for me was great, definitely addictive :biggrin:

Thank you so, so much to whoever had me. Everything was beautiful and so thoughtful :bigups:

Just got mine, thrilled with it :biggrin:

Got some washcloths and wrapped inside were some cadbury eggs :inlove:
A lemon butter handcream which smells divine.

A cuddly toy which was given to dd
Loads of mini creme eggs and caramel eggs
And two eggs which were filled with galaxy minstrels and jelly beans - yummy

The jelly bean egg had opened so when I opened the package they fell out. DS is having great Craic, he's like a Hoover crawling on the floor :lol:

Thank you so much..

I'm off out for a walk now to justify the chocolate I'm gonna eat when I come back. Yummy!!
