One day not too long ago I was sitting on my couch perusing my Facebook feed when I saw a post about a mailbox surprise swap. I thought to myself, "I like mail. I like surprises. And I most certainly like swaps!" So, it should be no surprise to anyone who reads this blog that I signed up! In a nutshell, mailbox surprise swap is a group of bloggers who get paired up each month and send each other a little something in the mail. It's a great chance to get to know another blogger, and of course, get some fun snail mail!
This month I got paired up with Jessica who blogs at
JEBBICA'S WORLD. Jessica's blog has some great health and fitness tips! I also really enjoyed reading about her "back story" and how she came to be where and who she is today.
So...this month's swap theme was travel. I may have completely blanked and ignored the travel theme (ok, yeah I did). Jessica, however, was all over it! Check out the great stuff she sent me!
Jessica sent me some awesome K cups and a giant coffe mug, knowing I collect mugs and am a fellow lover of the Keurig. There also was a Starbucks gift card which I so appreciate and will be using asap! I also received a list of awesome road trip apps and some Doritoes to snack on for my trip to Maine this week! Perfect! Then there's the scarf...my absolute favorite part of the package! Jessica made it for me! How thoughtful and special is that?! It's so pretty....I love the colors and I just love scarves in general. Thank you so much Jessica!
I am so happy I found this swap and am already looking forward to next month!
I just love the Mailbox Surprise Swap, and it has been such fun planning the surprise package I'm making for my sister swapper. Yea for snail mail and surprises!
ReplyDeleteI hope we keep it going for a long time!
DeleteKimberly,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked it! I hope I was able to get some things you liked. I meant to mention the car charger was kind of an afterthought after I put everything together...I work at Apartment Dynamics and we give those out at things, but I thought it could also work well for travel in case your phone dies on the way! Have a great trip to Maine!
You absolutely did! Thanks so much!
DeleteWhat a fun box!!! I love that mug. Except mine would have to say "Pepsi & Lip Gloss". HA!
ReplyDeleteI love Pepsi too! And I'm addicted to lip gloss!
DeleteHow cool and what a fun box to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteSnail mail is the best!
DeleteLove scarves & surprise boxes! :)
ReplyDeleteSo if your 518 you must be north of me, I'm 315!
How cool! I'm in Albany, so it's possible you're north of me!
DeleteI'm in Syracuse, how funny! :)
DeleteSo cool! I just got my box yesterday and my post is coming up tomorrow. It's so fun. I still have to mail mine out...gotta get to the Post Office. Thanks for sharing all your cool stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray! I'll have to check out your post...love seeing what everyone has received!
DeleteI'm a coffee lover, too, and especially love big coffee mugs--the one she sent you is darling!
ReplyDeleteOmg what a cute swap!!! I don't drink coffee, but I'm a tea addict so I love collecting new mugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun package!
ReplyDeleteCoffee and mascara--YEP! :)
