By way of apology, Selfridges are going to send a different Beauty Box, with one extra item & also, refund my postage & packing.<br />Fingers crossed it's worth it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399403999744290322.post-15091379152166281082012-08-23T17:55:54.572+01:002012-08-23T17:55:54.572+01:00The best gift i gave? A scrapbook!
I'd known ...The best gift i gave? A scrapbook!<br /><br />I'd known Mark for years, we lived in the same town, knew a few of the same people, and i worked in the bar where he drank. We were on nodding terms - i thought he was very very cool but he was attached. (to a girl who seemed equally cool, and much much more cooler than me!) But years passed, and would you believe it, he asked me out. He used his friends demo cd to get taking to me, and we still laugh at him about it now.<br /><br />We absolutely without a doubt fell in love immediately - but of course we both thought we were going mad! We squeezed three amazing dates into five sleepless days and then he had to go to Malaysia for work, for THREE WHOLE WEEKS!<br /><br />Oh how my heart screamed!!! I didn't even own a computer at that time and it took a whole months wages and a loan off a mate (i was a student!) to get a laptop to email him frantically for those three long weeks! You can safely assume i lived of fresh air, and emails filled with love, hopes and dreams!! I keep the email account active even though i no longer use it, just so i can re read the emails from time to time.<br /><br />Whilst he was away i kept a scrapbook. I felt so utterly connected to the man - I knew he was my soulmate. I literally documented my life. Photos, gig tickets, drawings, yep, even yucky poetry!! I bought a cheap disposable camera and took photos of odd things. It could hardly close by the time he got back.<br /><br />He returned at last, gorgeous and bashful, with the most lovely gifts for me, and, in return i gave him the book!<br /><br />Well he cried. alot! I cried! <br /><br />It was probably the most unwittingly romantic thing i have ever or will ever do.<br /><br />This was seven years ago, he's now my husband of five years, so I'm really not sure who got the better gift!<br /><br />((we both have a tattoo of one of the doodles out of the book, and he's planning getting the camera developed.....!!))<br /><br />carly <br /><br />carly.stanley@me.com<br /><br />twitter - ourcarlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399403999744290322.post-9572603488294298092012-08-23T17:44:17.555+01:002012-08-23T17:44:17.555+01:00I FORGOT TO GIVE YOU MY DETAILS MY NAME IS GAYNOR ...I FORGOT TO GIVE YOU MY DETAILS MY NAME IS GAYNOR HILL,AND MY CONTACT IS GAYNORHILL1 TWITTER OR EMAIL hillgaynor@googlemail.com xALLTHINGSBEAUTYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165119901227021669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399403999744290322.post-877365321654682172012-08-23T17:40:47.633+01:002012-08-23T17:40:47.633+01:00Hi I POST LOVELY PARCELS OUT EVERY WEEK TO MY BEAU...Hi I POST LOVELY PARCELS OUT EVERY WEEK TO MY BEAUTY GROUP MEMBERS, THEY ALL LOVE THERE PARCELS AND MAKES THEM SO HAPPY, AND I DO SO WITH NOTHING IN RETURN, I MISSED OUT ON THE BOX AND WAS SO GUTTED I CANT BELIEVE THERE IS A CHANCE I COULD WIN ONE, TO BE HONEST THE SELFRIDGES BOX WOULD BE THE BEST PARCEL AND SURPRISE I WOULD EVER RECEIVE, IF I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO WIN YOU, WOULD MAKE ME AS HAPPY AS I MAKE MY BEAUTY GROUP MEMBERS XXALLTHINGSBEAUTYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165119901227021669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399403999744290322.post-17364901119658704612012-08-23T17:39:57.900+01:002012-08-23T17:39:57.900+01:00The best surprise gift I've ever received was ...The best surprise gift I've ever received was a bunch of flowers and gifts from Jo Malone when I got some not so great exam results.

Thinking it was something I'd ordered myself, I ripped it open.<br /><br />My face immediately turned red as soon as I saw the pink box, and I had a sneaking suspicion that it might be from Agent Provocateur <br /><br />I tried to hide it but my boss insisted that I open it (nosy!). So I did. <br /><br />I tried so hard to be mad at him for sending it to my job but how could I be? He had gotten me a gorgeous gift, and more importantly he made my boss speechless for the first time ever.

I was in hospital for a little while after giving birth to my son. On our first day back home, my best friend dropped off a home-cooked 3 course dinner all packaged up and ready to reheat, so my husband and I could have a little celebration with minimal effort. So thoughtful and it tasted delicious. <br /><br />Twitter @LynnEarnshawLynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399403999744290322.post-83476911587534175922012-08-23T15:53:51.440+01:002012-08-23T15:53:51.440+01:00What is the best surprise package you have ever re...What is the best surprise package you have ever received or sent? <br /><br />it was my birthday and my best friend was on vacation (she told me) so I thought she was that day never came. and then that afternoon's suddenly she stood at the door. and she congratulated me!

I unfortunately had lost my job and been out of work for quite a while, so I was at the point where (a) I was quite down and (b) if something wasn’t essential to life I just didn’t buy it. Anyhu, one day a good friend pitched up on my doorstep in London to surprise me all the way from Scotland (I hadn’t seen her in about 2 years) with what can only be described as a care and encouragement package – complete with food, makeup, skin care luxuries and a girls night out. It’s one of the best gifts I have ever received. <br /><br />Thanks again.
