THE GREAT CHRISTMAS EXCHANGE

Last December I participated in The Great Christmas Exchange hosted by Elah Tree and Oak and Oats. It was essentially a very big secret santa gift exchange among anyone that wanted to participate! Super cool right?


I had so much fun shopping for Jess Vartanian!

And, I was super excited to receive my gift from Amanda Jaynes! She did such a great job! I had literally just looked at that compact mirror but opted for a black one with gold crosses instead! And I bought my mom a necklace very similar to this one!

This was SOOO much fun and I'd definitely participate again this year! It was so much fun "stalking" my person to try to figure out what she would like! And, it was just as much fun checking out my secret santa's blog to find out who she was after I'd received my gift.

Did you participate in The Great Christmas Exchange or something similar this past Christmas? Make sure you share in the comments, I'd love to hear about!

    1. I just love my gifts! My little birdies are sitting on my bar-too cute to go in the box with the rest of the ornaments! Amanda was so sweet-one is for me and the other is for my fiancé!

      And for Jess, I wanted to get her gifts that weren't too wintery- things she could use more often than not, especially since she is in Florida.

  2. I wish I had done The Great Christmas Exchange! I did the Merry Mail Ornament Exchange with Kenzie @ Chasing Happy

    1. I did that one too! Yeah, you should definitely sign up this year! I even put my package under the tree and didn't open it until Christmas. Great self-control if I do say so myself! :)
