#VerySecretSanta | Bloggers Challenge

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely people at Very - they asked if I'd like to take part in their Secret Santa Blogger Challenge () and of course, the answer was YES! I was super excited..Secret Santa is so much fun and we do it every year at home with my family, but doing it for bloggers is such a genius idea and I couldn't wait to get started.

We were each given a secret blogger to buy for with a budget of £20. First off I thought this might be quite the task, these days £20 isn't much, especially if you're wanting to make sure you get something you know your blogger will like! However, Very made it super easy for me - with their Christmas Gift page I was overwhelmed with choice and slipping down the price tag on the website to 'up to £20' meant only the things I could pick would pop up. It didn't take me long to find the perfect gift for my secret blogger...then it was just a waiting game.

My parcel arrived yesterday morning whilst I was at work; needless to say I was desperate to get home and find out what I'd received! Two lovely parcels were waiting for me and it was so nice to see that Very had even gone to the trouble of wrapping them up in Christmas paper with a Secret Santa note.
I absolutely love my gifts, the thoughtfulness of the mug is just so sweet and suits me down to the ground! And the lip butter set will be an absolute gem this winter - whoever my secret blogger is I want to say THANK YOU! I wish I knew who you were so I could give you the biggest virtual hug :)

My secret santa blogger was the beautiful Victoria from Inthefrow, (I've been told we're allowed to tell now!) I'm not sure if she's had her gift yet, but I really hope she loves it! I sort of wanted to keep it for myself ;)

Thank you to Very for asking me to take part in such a wonderful concept...I feel this should be a blogging necessity going forward - it's so nice to share the love with other bloggers and has really got me in the Christmas spirit! Yay!

    This sounds like fun :) That's a lovely gift to receive, you can use the tin to store some nice trinkets in too.
