My turn to brag.
My partner for this swap was Mkia9 and I think you'll all agree that there was a bit of a theme running through this box once you see what was inside.

First up, we have treats:

Next we have Disney goodies:

I bet this will be totally adorable when its all set up. Marie will be great company for the Elsa Pocket Pop I got from Ledbyrd (my box from our private swap arrived this afternoon, too.)

Shopkins:

These are really hard to find here--Walmart had a whole display just before Christmas, but they've vanished.
Okay, now for the most epic gift of all...

This one is called Bubbleisha and her blurb says she has a "Sweet and Sour" personality.
Click the spoiler below for a bunch more pictures. One isn't going to do this justice. I couldn't believe it when I opened her!!

Mkia, thank you so much for the amazing Valentines box!
I had a great time opening all my gifts and I am looking forward to eating the treats, adding the pins to my collection and settling the shopkins into their new home. I'm sure the Disney stationary will fit in with the rest of my collection wonderfully, and I've already mentioned what I plan for Marie and her furniture. (I actually think she and Elsa may be able to use the little white part that came with the shopkins as a stand. They are small enough that they should fit.) I am absolutely thrilled with my box.
