Here is the box of stuff I got from lilgryphon! The first thing I opened was Sundance and was so excited to get her. She was the pony I wanted most. Also I totally wasn't expecting a blind bag. It was my first one and I couldn't believe how adorably tiny those are! I love everything, the chocolates especially. I've eaten half of the raspberry cremes. I though they were going to be chewy but they are so melt in your mouth yummy! Hahaha. Thanks so much lilgryphon.

Oh, and that fortune puzzle intrigues me..

I'm so glad you like them! I had to buy myself some of the raspberry cremes...they are like Junior Mints with the mint taken out and replaced with raspberry, yum! I was also intrigued by the puzzle, it was an impulse buy at the register...

I'm so glad you like everything, Dusky!  It was a lot of fun picking out things I thought you would like.  And it's okay to eat the chocolates; I can always make more!

Oh, goodness... You showed that terrible pony I drew on the box  Usually, I do much better than that, but there isn't much room for correction when using magic marker.

That worst pony drawn is far better than my best!
Is that an AJ notebook?

The AJ book is a Diary, which is awesome as I really needed one to keep track of everything I'm doing at the moment.

I think the word usage here is a little different from UK to US. Here, we call it a Planner.  In the US, a diary is what you write secret thoughts in and you don't want anyone else to read!  I made various designs of them to sell on Etsy and my website. I'm so glad you like it!

I got my box today from sundaygirl from sweden 
It actually arrived yesterday (the 14th) which was right on time for Valentine's!
I had the box with me at work so I kept unwrapping pressies all day to keep it exciting  I was like "ok, after you finish this, you can open one more gift", so I had both a productive and fun day!

First thing I noticed about my box is that it smelled of lemon, which is one of my favourite scents! So I knew something lemony was going on

Seashell pralines!! Those are sooooo good! I really like them but I don't get to eat them very often as they're pretty luxurious  I feel so spoiled!

Organic green tea (I love love love green tea!) and Maybelline lip balm! Both so useful for the winter cold

I love seeing all these swap presents! Everyone really did a good job with the gifts!

[xkelpiex]

EEEK! All wonderful! Don't mind me....just lurking up others' swap threads *whistles* I like looking at other swaps in readiness for mine.

[DazzleKitty]

Those pralines are awesome! My brother gets them for me every Christmas if he can find them.

More brags, more brags! Where are they? 

[ChipsteRJ]

I feel guilty posting a brag when my partner has not yet received their box, but rest assured it is IN the mail...But now after shipping and reviewing the list again I shipped an incorrect pony- Tax season has my head!

Some nice boxes I've seen
...6 UK ponies
... Stacktoy- Emery how many does that bring your army to? I think your army will surpass mine!
...Blind bags, I'm not to fond of them, but they might grow on me?????
... Fluttershy's tree, I want it now that I've seen AJ's barn (perhaps the only 2 G4s I will own- aside from the freebies I got from the fair last year)


..... Without further ADO I present the mystery behind Emery's teaser!!!!!!
