So I had so much fun with this swap. It was great putting together a box of my favorite guilty pleasures and getting to see someone elses! For this swap I was paired up with Wani from Wani's World.
She included some really neat stuff and a cute letter explaining all of her guilty pleasures!
From Wani:
Here is a little about me and my “guilty pleasures”. First off... sorry if mine are not very exciting... I don't really indulge in a lot of things but one of my biggest guilty pleasures is actually my addiction to a couple tv dramas – but they are not easily packaged to send to you so I made due! ;-)
What Not to Wear – I love watching the show on TLC and have also enjoyed the tips in the book. I keep telling my family and friends to nominate me for the show but no one has done it yet! Feel free to nominate me if you like! ;-)
Magazine – I'm a sucker for a deal on magazine subscriptions. I never pay full price but if I find a steal I'll take it! I've found some good ones on Amazon but there are lots of places to catch a deal. Its so much fun getting something other than bills and junk mail!
Ferrero Rocher – I adore these yummy little hazelnut and chocolate treats! I get them as my stocking stuffer and that is usually the only time I get them. I cannot figure out why I don't get them any other time of year... hhmmm... I might have to rectify this situation. ;-)
Jewelry – I have realized that when life calls for a little retail therapy and clothes shopping can actually be a little depressing... but jewelry... now that is something that rarely requires looking at sizes. And who doesn't love a little sparkle? ;-)
Bath & Body Works travel set – I used to go in there any time I got a coupon in the mail under the guise of “saving money”. But I realized alas, my bathroom was overflowing with bubbles before I knew it! ;-) So now I savor my favorites and really appreciate it more! Plus I have a fetish for travel size things – they are so cute!
Nicholas Sparks Book – I am a book-a-holic. As long as they are cheap of course! I scour the clearance rack at Half Price Books, scope out yard sales and the other usual places. I have stacks of books that I want to read, and I usually get around to them... eventually.
Cake Cook Book – Speaking of books... I also love cookbooks. Which is funny because usually am in a cooking rut and its really kind of rare that I actually break out my treasured cook books to try something new. I especially like to make special things for my kids' birthdays.
Dining Certificate – While I like to cook there are some times when I just would rather not! So I've gotten into buying certificates on Restaurant.com for local restaurants in our area. If you catch them when they're having a sale its such a great deal and a real treat!
There you have it. My guilty pleasures in a nutshell. ;-) Hope you enjoy!
It is perfect! I can't wait to try out the Cake Cook Book - there are some really cute ideas in there. I'm wearing the necklace and bracelets she sent me today! Sooo adorable! And I can't wait to go try the restaurant she got me a gift card for!
Great Match! Thank you Wani for all the wonderful goodies.
And Thank You Mamarazzi for hosting another great swap!
