A Birthday Swap

It's now become tradition that my good pal Julie and I do a birthday (and Christmas) swap. You can see what she gave me last year at my birthday here. We met on Monday and spent a lovely day having lunch at The Murrayfield Hotel, sitting outside enjoying the sunshine, each others company, a few bottles of wine and lots of unwrapping (naughty for me considering today's the day!) 

She totally spoiled me - too much to put in one photo and I don't think I'll need to buy any beauty again this year (or ever haha).


Abahna Travel set in Frangipani & Orange Blossom which is my favourite Abahna scent (shower gel, body lotion, soap, hand cream, mini mirror and wash bag) and a hand wash in the same scent. I've not had these in my stash for ages. The travel kit is so handy for weekends away and holidays. See my review of the minis here.


My favourite Shay & Blue fragrance Salt Carmel. All I can say is WOW. Thanks so much Julie. See my review here.


By Terry Rose Balm Tinted Lip Glosses - these are gorgeous. Looking forward to trying them out! I've tried the pale pink so far. Pretty glossy shade with a hint of rose. Love!  Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers - I've wanted to try these cult beauties for ages!  Love Korres body products and tinted lip balms so looking forward to trying their mascara.


Nip+Fab Multi-Fix Oil - I've not tried much from this brand so looking forward to trying. Two Cowshed bath & shower gels in Moody Cow & Lazy Cow. Huge fan of the brand and always looking for nice shower gels - thanks Julie!


Park's Aromatherapy Candle with Frangipani, Rose, Freesia and Lily. This smells gorgeous and I'm looking forward to burning it.


A lovely quirky tin tray and coaster. Made me smile!




Lots of beautiful stationery items - these always make my heart sing!  As well as a colouring in book - bliss!


Yummy edibles - The Marshmallow Lady Prosecco & Rose Petals Mallows (these are my all time favourites), a half bottle of the gin I discovered I loved after trying it in the Ginvent Advent Calendar, Tarquins Handcrafted Cornish Gin, Belgian Chocolate Praline Egglets, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (nom), a lovely little chocolate bunny, eggs & Rose & Violet Creams!

She also gave me this!



I'll take you through the contents in another post!  I was well and truly spoiled! Thanks so much once again Julie!

Christmas Hamper

Nardine at live..laugh...love sent me a gorgeous hamper just before Christmas stuffed full of nice things to eat along with some beauty items and a lovely candle - she's naughty!

I do however love everything she sent me..



Look at all the lovely goodies!

She knows I am a huge Harrods fan and she sent me Mince Pies, Christmas Pudding, Christmas Biscuits, a chocolate tree bauble, fudge and Brandy butter all of which are yummy. Along with a really cute tea towel with a robin on it.

You already know she sent me a beautiful rose scented Quintessentially English gift set - which you can see here. Also in my hamper was a L'Occitane soap and dish, a Caudalie Pamplemousse Rose Hand Cream 30ml and a Parks Myrrh scented candle which came packaged in a silver box in a silver coloured glass jar and from a brand I've not heard of before!
