Last month I had the pleasure of participating in 2 Christmas blog swaps. One was the Merry and Bright Swap hosted by Bailey at Brave Love, and the other was the Great Christmas Exchange hosted by Beth at Oak and Oats and Samantha of Elah Tree. 

For the Merry and Bright Swap I was paired with Daisy at Simplicity Relished. I’ve read her blog for a while now, and it was fun to swap some emails back and forth and decide what to get for her. I ended up getting her a set of lavender scented body care items, and she sent me a compact of Mary-Lou Manizer from the Balm Cosmetics. She said it’s one of her favorite products and I’m so excited to try this out!

For the Great Christmas Exchange, I sent gifts to Alyssa, and my gifts came from Michelle. The Great Christmas Exchange was cool since Beth and Samantha used elfter, which automatically assigns secret partners, and allows everyone to create wishlists so you know what you are getting for your partner is what they want! Michelle really knocked it out of the park with my gift — the watch and shampoo were boht items I wanted, and I was so excited to open up my box to find them. Plus she added in a few fun extras, too. Thanks, Michelle!

It’s always so fun to participate in these swaps, and get to know other bloggers a little bit better, plus get a fun little gift in the mail! 🙂 Thanks to those that hosted this year! (PS, sorry the picture quality is so poor. It is so hard to find good lighting in my house at this time of year!)
