Ladies-only Valentine Sent/Received thread-COMPLETED

[Yardbird]

We just retuned home from WDW, and dropping the boys off, needless to say, I'm feeling a little low. It was so nice coming home to a wonderful package from Beth.

Doug Murdick's Fudge!! Maple Walnut is mine and DH's favorite, and we both had a piece immediately.

A box of Dove beyond chocolate chunk cookies

A Valentine votive candle holder filled with Lindt truffles

A strawberry Yankee Candle votive

A cute little Valentine bear that will have a permanent place on my desk

A Pooh and Tigget magnetic note pad

A 2 Year Planner

A "Grow a Cocktail Party" centerpiece. This is too cute!

A Maxine calendar

Bath and Body Works: Sweet Pea lotion, shower gel, body splash, AND candle. (I do love this scent )

Exfoliating bath gloves, and a bath scrunchie (Both pink)

Thank you so much Beth, you went above and beyond on this. I truly love everything, and I am touched by your thoughtfulness. Now I'm going for another slice of fudge.

In Jessica's package from Hannah, there was one of those gel eye mask in it that you put in the refrigerator and it gets cold.

Well this morning when I went to wake her up, she said "Mom, I need a few minutes, can you go get my eye mask, I think that will help!" Now she is only 7, so what will she be like at 15?

Wendy, don't worry about anything, the package was great!!!

I'm glad Alyssa and Missy both liked their packages

I'm at work right now but I will let Cassie read Alyssa's post tonight. She will be happy she liked it because she picked pretty much everything out by herself.

 

[kelsco99]

I can't wait to check the mail today. I hope the packages are there

If their not, it will be a long wait until Monday or even later

 

[Missy1961]

Um, yeah, sure I did.


That sounds like a great package!!



I love exchanges! As Noelle said, "You get to send out some really fun stuff and get some really fun stuff back!"

Well before you eat anymore, make sure you ask.

Noelle is a smart girl.

Kelly, it was awesome. I might (notice I said might) share the mint chocolate stuff with Sammie & Dana, but I am not sharing the Lindor. Those are mine, all mine. And we are going to VA the weekend after Valentine's Day to celebrate Matt's 3rd birthday, so I am going to wear a red dress, and the heart necklace & the scrunchie.

I'm so glad you liked everything. I'm sorry you are bummed right now though. Just eat more fudge. That's what I'd do.

Sounds like another great package!! Valentine kitchen towels, clever. I didn't think of that one.






Great job exchangers! Hopefully we will hear of even more fun arrivals today!!

Thanks for the picture, I will show Samantha tomorrow. And since Noelle sent her package to Dana, Dana can see the cool kid who sent her stuff.

I don't know.

I think it depends on the age of the boy. Little boys (5 and under) are pretty easy to shop for.

And it depends on the occasion.
Valentines Day stuff is typically very girly.
Even when Ruben and I were dating I had a hard time finding V-Day stuff for him. I didn't want to give him roses or a stuffed animal!! LOL

This last Christmas, I had a very hard time coming up with ideas for Adam (age 12) for presents. All I could think of was stuff for the computer or video games, or music stuff.

Also girls have an advantage cause they can play with a truck or a doll and it's fine. Most parents (not all, but many) would not approve of their son playing with Barbie, kwim?

And let's not forget clothes. Girls clothes are cuter and there's more styles. Which just makes me go bankrupt faster.

That is so true. I was gripping about clothes when I went to Walmart the other day.... They have nothing for little boys! Target was a little better. At least I was able to find a real jacket for him there.

My package was mailed out 10 days ago. I do hope that it reaches its destination soon.

No, remember dh took it to the PO for me, and I forgot to tell him how to mail it. That's the second time that I've done that.
