I've absolutely LOVED hosting several blog gift swaps throughout this last year, o I thought it was time for another one to celebrate fall... my favorite season!
Nothing makes me happier than getting a sweet letter or care package from a friend, which is why this is so fun! If you haven't signed up for a gift swap before, scroll down for more details!
On top of all this, I am hosting a fun giveaway!
I will personally send a super fun fall themed care package to the person who spreads the word the most. How easy is that?

Candy/Snacks- Anything chocolate! I also love cheese, crackers, goldfish, and coffee.
Colors- Pink and purple are always a win with me. But I would love to have some fall colors like yellow/mustard, orange, brown, etc.
Accessories- Hats and scarfs for fall! I'm also a big fan of hoops and long earrings.
Home Decor- I'm moving to a new apartment, so any cute fall decorations would be so much fun! Things that look more modern though vs. country.
Fun Faves- Starbucks, iTunes, and Barnes and Noble Gift Cards are always welcome, I've really been into Owls lately, I LOVE nerdy things like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, vampires (recently fell in love with Vampire Diaries), Lord of the Rings, Firefly, etc.
Girly Things- Neutral or fall color nail polishes! I also have really been loving head bands and little clips for my hair.
Yes!!!! so excited
