Goodie Bag

The second time I met Anne was at a small garden party I held for some friends and acquaintances some years ago. If my memory serves me right they all bought nice little gifts for the hostess, but one of those gifts really was a bit extra.

And from someone I barely knew at that time, but whom I've come to call a friend - and not only because of that mind reading gift of some extraordinarily lovely soaps back then - namely Anne.

One of the interests we have in common are that of cosmetics and beauty products - for some strange reason I have *very* few other friends who care for this essential stuff... - and we are completely unanimous about the excellence of products from Bath & Body Works.

Especially their outstanding body splashes, which I simply adore and yearn for all the time - for some unknown stupid reason the products aren't available in Europe anymore and when I ask the BBW customer service why, I get some neither rhyme nor reason silly answer...

So you can imagine my surprise and happiness when I got this goodie bag for my birthday, with some nice Japanese food stuff including tea - which I'm looking forward to try out - and the sweet Stay Healthy. Be Lazy. detox booklet by lovely company innocent, but most of all the bag contained not only one, but three fantastic splashes from BBW!! One of them being my favourite cucumber-melon scent.

Don't you just love it when people actually make an effort - whether it being something homemade, handmade or something that will take a bit of work to obtain - to get a gift that'll really very much delight the gift receiver? As opposed to swing by a department store and get something without much thought to it...

So thanks again for this thoughtful gift, Anne, I thoroughly enjoyed and enjoy it!
