Lovely gifts given and received.
Lovely gifts sent and received xx
Advent exchanges are so much fun. You gave and received some creative gifts.
It was fun and exciting waiting for 7.30am each morning to open our next gift. We both managed to put some unusual goodies into the mix. What can I say, but, I thoroughly enjoyed the concept and the element of surprise. I must admit that I was guilty of feeling the packages, gently of course, to see if I could guess and I didn't score 100% by any means.
