Advent Calendar Swap Thread

I thought it might be a good idea to have a single thread for any swaps from across ALL calendars.

Just withdrawing my request for the Dr PawPaw from earlier. The poster hadn’t been back for days and hasn’t replied to my PMs. So I think it’s been long enough.

I’ve got the exact item in one of my calendars now too.

Just to let you all know that I have got a STACK of goodies up for swap but I am waiting until I have opened all my calendars to send anyone a list.

I will let you all know when I have done it then you can PM if there is anything you fancy.

Place marking because I have loads of stuff I don’t want (unopened) and hate things to go to waste! And as a bonus I might find something new that does excite me...

Tomorrow when it’s light I will take a picture of the items I have and there are lot

ReeRi · 28/12/2019 17:22

@Pomegranatepompom As I said I will take a pic and list my items tomorrow but I’d be interested in the hourglass veil and the Nars duo. Are you after anything in particular? Make up? Skincare?

I would also be interested in Nuxe, ESPA, candles, sheet masks, hair products
