Has Peachy been on? Hope she has received her 'thing'
Maybe she didn't like it :( :o

getagoldtoof · 21/09/2012 11:03

The ice cream cushion was from me! I made it with Nigerian fabric bought in Brixton market some time ago.

I got my nice things this week too! Lovely cat sent me a Freddo (consumed before the kids saw it and probably before everything was out of the envelope), a sparkly butterfly hair clip, a green tea & ginger peel-off mask, vaseline hand cream, a one week to view diary for 2013 and some gorgeous pastel purple Rimmel nail polish!

Thanks so much, I really enjoyed opening my little parcel!

Nagoo · 21/09/2012 16:25

Thank you ancientsofmumu :)

I still have a THING of two to sort out Blush, still the waiting game lends an element of surprise eh? Grin

A massive thank you to VerityClinch for my luffly things which arrived today - in a package address to Tia Maria Thing, which had Dh very Confused! Grin

It contained some gorgeous L'Occitane products that smell absolutely divine ~ I'm retiring to the bathroom with them and some Wine for a loooong soak this evening ~ and a fab little boden notebook that I just love! A very thoughtful and generous 'thing' and very appreciated Thanks

puds11 · 21/09/2012 18:01

Im Confused when did the sending gifts thing come about?

VerityClinch · 21/09/2012 18:09

Nagoo · 21/09/2012 20:28

Hi puds

here is the first thread.

We are still going, if you want a lovely thing in the post, put your smiley face enthusiasm on the list and PM the previous poster with your address. Then you send a lovely thing to the next poster.

It's an orgy of giving.

It isn't about spending money, it's just about getting a token thing in the post that will cheer you/ someone up and not be a bill :)

So thank you mama1980, was lovely getting something in the post :)

AncientsOfMuMu · 21/09/2012 21:04

Nagoo glad you received your Thing - the lady at the post office was slightly bemused by the name it was addressed to Grin

BabylonPI I can't post a photo but just wanted everyone to know you sent me a luffly bracelet that I have been wearing, and some sweets that Ds and I polished off on the way home from school. It was all packed like 'pass the parcel' with little messages in between. It really made my day unwrapping it -thank you. Smile

I got my thing! Some wonderful chocs (which I scoffed), a face mask that I am wearing, candles I am sniffing, a lovely lip balm all in a lovely box. I have been very tardy in my thanks as was away for a few days and returned from a trip to my lovely surprise. So thank you, 'newtothisstuff' I was a bit down in the dumps and the things so lifted my spirits!

I took a picture of myself in the facemask, mercifully, I can't seem to upload it!

BabylonPI · 21/09/2012 23:41

ancientsofmumu I copied from my thinger with the wrapping!! Glad you liked it Grin

puds11 · 22/09/2012 09:38

Thanks Nagoo, i have joined up! This is such a great idea!
