So hello back to my blog- it's been a while since I've posted anything (again, this just seems to be how these blog posts have worked for the past year tbh)... Anyway! Today I thought I would finally get round to sharing my #CBloggers Secret Santa round up which should have been done a good 2 months ago but oh well, never mind! Better super late than never, right?

Anyway, for my swap I received my gift from Amy Hodkin! Inside my gift she sent me one of her beautiful character screen prints that I absolutely adore and has found space upon my new(ish) desk and a really beautiful zine that was filled with botanical illustrations. She also sent a card with such a lovely typographic design on the front which I loved too.

I also was sent a lil something from Zen Zhou from Hapiness Wherever which was really lovely of her and it means a lot that she wanted to send something as a thank you for doing #CBloggers and organising the swap, etc! 

Now I don't have any photos of what I sent as a Secret Santa, however, Danielle (who I was sending too) has uploaded a photo of it on her twitter here. I was so glad that she was happy with her package and on a whole I think everybody was too. 

Lastly from me I just wanted to include one thing I do have a photo of and did send out, which was the limited edition #CBloggers2016 bauble and a wee Christmas Card! I wanted to do something nice for everybody taking part (especially for if/when people's packages never turned up) and I think everybody was quite chuffed with them too! 

Before I finish up this really badly timed Christmas post I wanted to share the content of people who shared their* Secret Santa's so check the links below for those too:

*Also I know I've missed out a bunch of people probably so if you have a blog post, YT video, Instagram or Tweet to do with the swap just let me know and I'll include it! Obviously since this was a few months ago the content has gone really far into the abyss of the #CBloggers tag!

A few weeks before Valentine's Day I signed up for the Valentine Blogger Swap and last week I received my little parcel in the post!

My package was sent from Yuna, the writer of TechBunny lots of little bits and bobs! 

Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Pink Fever- I'm not much of a pink fan but this pink is so pretty! I can't wait to try and use this soon.

Bunny Purse- I've seen this purse in Primark and floating around on a few blogs, and it is sooo cute! I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to use it for yet but I've been thinking about using it for keeping little bits and pops in for when I got down to London in April. 

Rose Compact Mirror- This is so adorable and so handy! I've been needing a second compact mirror for taking to work with me and this is great for just keeping in my work back. 

Strawberry Milkshake Bubble Bath- This smells sooo nice! I've not used it in a bath yet but can't wait to. 

Strawberry Face Mask- I've never used this brand of face masks before but can't wait to use it. I'll probably wait till I use my bubble bath and have a luxurious pamper night!

Strawberry Lip Balm- I've used this a few times and it tastes so nice. The only problem with it is that it's quite hard and doesn't come out very easy. 

Sephera Pink Lip Tint Palette- These are such beautiful colours! I'm not really one to use these types of things but I'm sure they'll look great. 

I enjoyed the Blogger Swap a lot and I can't wait to do another one! If you hear about any blogger swaps let me know below as I'm sure I would be interested in it!
