Love is in the Air 2014 Valentine's Day Swap Brag Thread

SWAP THREAD

My box arrived last week, and you know the story… I meant to wait till V-Day, but apparently caught a flu, which is a great excuse for ponies. My partner was the fantabulous Tiffymh1fan, who put her heart into making this box (pun intended) and spoiled me rotten. I don't think I could possibly thank her enough, but I shall try!

On the outside, it's a plain box…

…but on opening it, I see this:

My camera has done strange things to the petals - in reality they're not quite that pink, more of a vermillion colour, which I love. Look at the card Tif sent, with a poem, a lock and a key:

Random gifts! The stickers are the cutest thing G3.5 I've seen to this day. I sometimes receive them stuck on US pony mail but don't remember seeing them for sale here. Or maybe it's just me? Plus, chocolate and tea! Tif seems to have instinctively known that I love ginger.

Accessory spam! Among other things, a complete Flashprance outfit and a whole bunch of NBT accessories, including a pair of diapers inside the box. I don't think the sun pick is aqua enough to go with Starry Wings but it could be Flurry's. I'm in the process of completing my thrift store Perfume Palace, so the clip and the barrette were very welcome!

Next, I grabbed a beautiful box wrapped with music notes and a ribbon. Due to the shape I never expected to find a pony within, but this lady flew out in a flurry of petals:

A gorgeous Starry Wings! I was flabbergasted because I don't think I even put her on my swap WL, meaning Tif must have been reading my main list instead. What is more, I have a soft spot for yellow ponies. All the accessories were delivered inside felt pouches that somehow did not make it into the accessory photo.

Next up (sorry about the ugly oversaturated photo)…

OH NO TIF IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 2 PONIES CAN YOU COUNT TO 2
One of my favourite pony color combos, pastel yellow with fading pink hair, times two!

And there's a fourth (now Tif seriously where's your elementary arithmetic) - TAF Sundance! (I found the V-Day activity sheet from the bottom of the box.) Sorry about her silly hair, the curls refused to settle. She even has a pink ribbon!

Finally, this photo needed to be taken: the box makes a great V-Day pony display. The hearts ornament was also included in the box. Thank you so much, Tif, you really went above and beyond everything I could have imagined. Happy Valentine's Day to you!

That box is awesome! Huge congrats on such great gifts! Tiffy did an amazing job. Bug hugs to you both!

[ChipsteRJ]

Nice Work!
Yes Tiff did go a bit overboard according to the requirements, but International shipping is costly, so I'm sure she wanted to get the most for her shipping expenses.

Multa - awesome box! unfortunately i am not gifted in the theme/decor repayment, but i love the inside of your box and that key!!!
Dainty- sorry that your chocolates got stolen lol! Glad you liked your box! I hope the eyelash princess was ok, i had ordered her and wasnt sure if she was ok, so i included her only as an extra.

[fireglides]

These boxes are gorgeous! They are decorated and wrapped so prettily and the ponies look wonderful. Nice job!

Then, a surprise- a beautiful drawing! What lovely ponies, all decorated for V-day...  You are a very talented artist, Dainty!  I didn't realize the significance, though...

 It was a portrait!  It matched my lovely new Sparkle ponies, who are also all kitted out for Valentine's!  I love how they came all dressed up for the big day- such a cute idea

   The color is off in that pic though- they are both lovely and bright!  I've been looking for both of these girls for a while, and their tinsel is so nice.  They make a great pair for the swap. 
   This was my first ever swap box, and I'm so happy with it    Thank you, Dainty! I love my new girls and will have to take another photo once they are up on my collector's shelf with their new herd

This ^^^^
Shipping is CRAZY! The shipping was more than the items in it...So that is my excuse...and Mul-ta, yes, Math was never my thing  I meant to tell you, Hide one of those ponies from the brag  But I guess I forgot that too. By the way you have one other small extra coming, but you don't have to brag about it  But Im glad you like everything  You were fun to shop for and I had so much help from people here on the Arena  Thanks Guys for your help~ You know who you are 
The Tea has 2 different kinds of tea in it  I was worried you wouldn't like the flavors.

I will be opening my package today...Brags to come
