On my side of the world we’re now in Spring and to celebrate the Spring time, Melba over at justBeConnected organised her second Spring Random Re-Gift Swap.
The idea of the swap is to grab a container of some type and walk around your home filling it up with goodies that you think your recipient would like. Goodies can be something you’ve made, something someone gave to you but it doesn’t fit in your life, craft things from your craft box, books from your book shelf… anything that you would like to re-gift. The main thing is you do not buy anything for the swap.
Melba partners each participant up with someone else and they are your swap partner. I was partnered up with Melba and I knew she loved pink so she got a few pink things, including a cloth shoulder bag, pink dangly earrings, pink wool and lots of other goodies.
My gift from Melba was gorgeous! My red bag is hanging on my door with some of the goodies still inside. The chocolates she sent didn’t last very long. I loved Melba’s postcards and have used them to ‘connect’ with some friends back home, and the striped journal is being put to good use. The box with the wire flower has lots of chunky beads as I like beading, and the wire heart that is sitting on the postcards is now wrapped around my office door handle.
Here is a picture of my goodies. Thank you so much Melba!!


That is a lovely idea. Thank you for telling us about it Nicole.

What a lovely idea! Receiving a little package of goodies would give you a nice ‘lift’ and put a smile on your face….and it’s nice to receive a surprise when there’s no real occasion for it.
