A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I got mine today and opened it as I'm away this weekend. It's very pretty! Thank you very much summer santa. Here are pics. It was wrapped very nicely, and came in a lovely wooden bowl with straw. I particularly love the pink one with the little snail in it. Very cute. There are two glittery ones, two with flipflop charms on them, one with a scallop on it and one with a little periwinkle snail shell. One slightly embarrassing question - what are they? They look like they could be hard boiled sweets or guest soaps. I had a little lick of a glittery one and it was tangeriney, but I couldn't determine if it was sweet or soap! So - aside from admiring the cuteness, do I wash with them or eat them? Very cute whatever they are. Very summery, and very homemade and lovely! I am very chuffed to receive such a sweet gift.

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I am wondering if the bowl in my gift is handmade too. It's very pretty. Dark brown with almost black swooshy bits through the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I would love to be able to "woodwork", I used to work with someone who made me a nutmeg grater out of some beautiful wood, its gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'd say they were soaps-I think anyway! They look very nice and handy too...I think I like USEFUL presents best as sometimes they're the most thoughtful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I opened mine today as I'm going away tomorrow and won't have any computer time during the week! Here's what I received: I'm wearing the green necklace now! Unfortunately the bracelets are all too big. But I'm sure I may be able to fiddle with them to get them to fit. Thank you!

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I like USEFUL presents best as sometimes they're the most thoughtful! No they're not! Anyone who has made anything on here has done it with love and thought, be it decorative, or a picture, or useful. They are indeed soaps. Delightfully smelly soaps. A wonderful summer swap present. Really super! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Mines here! Mines here! Its light and kind of squashy, so a fabric item of some sort I am guessing. I am really looking forward to tomorrow, this week has been rather tough for one reason or another. Woo hoo. Mine is here! Did I mention that?

Plum Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 So think hubby has to be on forum now Emma. Shall we make him a user name or has he got one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Mine came this mornig, i'm ever so excited. It's nice having pressies at different times of the year, almost like mini-Christmasses. My birthday is in November so i normally only get pressies at the back end of the year. I've just got to get over this givers anxiety, i hope my recipient likes their pressie.
