Holiday Swap 2013 Brag Thread!

[blondee1982]

Wow another round of fantastic boxes! Love the turtle ornament, taf ponies and the rainbow dash breezie custom is amazing!! Congrats guys!

[sosoftbuttons]

wow dragonflitter, i'm loving your box   i'd be terrified of sending glass candles in the mail in case they got broken but those fared really well, I bet they smell great too

 

[Dragonflitter]

Yes it was packaged very well! The blue glittery holder and the ornaments are all plastic, only the blue candle is glass. Kaos is good at choosing things to mail and packaging them to ship!

[Moondancer1073]

So much pony goodness. I was just checking out the brags here.   I really love that cross and angel ornament with Believe on it. Very nice!  And all the treats!! wow  So let me post the pics of my amazing swap box...

This is my childhood Moondancer. My fav pony of all time. She assists on the opening of swap boxes.

another Awesome  brag!! Hoppy! and Eeyore! I collected eeyore for years!  sad to say i had forgotten him lol

[kaoskat]

Yes it was packaged very well! The blue glittery holder and the ornaments are all plastic, only the blue candle is glass. Kaos is good at choosing things to mail and packaging them to ship!

LOL Comes from years of shipping customs. You learn how to manipulate the packages into the box in ways so they don't move and are next to things that won't hurt and will even protect the more fragile stuff. I was actually most worried about that snowflake ornament, not the candle.

I got an AWESOME holiday swap box from my partner, Avene1984!!!!!!!

First off, some holiday towels and potholders. So festive! Love this.

Then some more tasty snacks, including tootsie roll pops for my hubby. He was excited to see those! I also got an MLP G4 puzzle and G3 stickers! There were also two dog toys which have been secreted off to unknown locations.

[Arianna]

Everyone's boxes look uber gorgeous and a lot of nice MLP goodies!

[sosoftbuttons]

just had to check out the newest brags before I log off the lappy and log onto the main puter to post mine...
someone needs to teach me how to use all this technical gadget wizardry before I fry my brain in trying to work it all out myself, lol

ok, i'm back  
and my box was from the wonderful chipsterJ   

*drum roll*

the box - check out that wrapping paper - i love it

caaaaaannddy canes   and a massive big parcel of goodness that i left til last
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


all the little packages were tied to the 'blue thing' (more on that later ) with G1 RIBBONS
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


inside the very top of the fluffy redness was the white hat with flowers, and the fluffy redness is socks, fluffy red christmas socks, wooooo-hoooo!!   

so - check out all this pony accessory heavenly goodness  
a pal, the one baby ice skate i need for the snow angles ponywear set, the tiara, the dress a ponywear puffy sticker, oh maaaan i was absolutely screaming with all these little packages    and so many brushes & combs including sun picks and flower picks and *excited* crescent moon combs   aaaannd my first ever petite pony - look at the hair, i am stunned as to how cool the hair is!!  i've never seen one of these in person and it really is tiny, but the hair, wow 
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


and check out the extra's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
bodgit got some millett and the 'blue thing' is the holder i totally didn't have a clue what it was when i first unwrapped my box so you well & truly got me there chip but its not just millett - its orange scented millet  not seen that in the uk!  its in bodgit's cage at the mo but i think it'll take him a day or so to get used to it i'll get a pic once he starts munching from it, i've taken his millet out of the red clip that fixes in the side of his cage, so once he realises its moved to the blue holder he'll be fine he loves things that make a noise so the bell will go down a treat when i tie that in tomorrow

and some mint chocolate drink to try, i'll probably have that on christmas day 
but those socks - cant you just FEEL the fluffyness thru your puter screens they are freakin' awesome!!


and then there was *T*H*I*S*, a small pink item next to the tiara    i nearly cried   
the knife for my paradise estate    i am overwhelmed thankyou soooo much!!!!!

Here is my swap box that I got from Jahlila, you sure went all out!

I love all of the ponies that I got in there! And the Breyer horse!!!  My daughter took off with all of her gift and says thank you for them
The Gerbils love the little treats and the little chew blocks. It cute to see one holding on and chewing on it.

Here it all is!

It's that CANDLE that smells so delicious!  I've seen a few of those Glade candles around here but not that one!  And the truffles and hot cocoa will probably be gone by tonight!  Also, I thought I recognized the distinctive clinking sound of colored pencils as I was opening that package

My sock swap box came from EvilMuffins and I wasn't able to post a brag until now 
But it was so awesome and I think it's so funny that sock that were so boring to get as a kid could make me so happy now! I just love socks LOL
I opened my box upside down! So I hoped it wasn't in some sort of order

ALL My lovely sock goodness!! Oh man I was spoiled by EvilMuffins! Three knee highs and three regular size (??hah) Those penguin ones are so stinking cute and I had really wanted them when I was out looking for my partner's socks! So I was like EEEE! Honestly these are all so cute and have been savoring my new pairs.

All the extras! My stalker kitty kept stealing the little walking penguin toy and knocking it over :3 The activity book, it has recipes in it! I did not know they had recipes! And those are the cutest stickers like paper doll stickers! Cutest card ever! And "mysterious package" hand lotion which is so very nice. I sense a penguin theme
Thank you evil muffins for my first sock swap box I can't wait for next year's!

[SwiftheartBabbit]

So much pony goodness. I was just checking out the brags here.   I really love that cross and angel ornament with Believe on it. Very nice!  And all the treats!! wow  So let me post the pics of my amazing swap box...
*snip*
Thank you so much Swift Heart Babbit! You put together an amazing box!
I hope you have a Very Merry Christmas!

You are very welcome! Glad you liked everything. Hoppy is a favorite of mine, so I was glad to be able to find one for you, too. Ciara is so adorable. Hope she has lots of fun with the poms. They are a favorite of my gang, especially Grey, who is blind. He loves the to hear the noise of the poms when you roll them between you fingers, and will dunk them in his water dish and yell at them after he hunts them down. :3

Love how this page is pretty much all fantastic brags! Keep 'em coming!
