The Lilac Scrapbook Christmas Gift Swap

Yessss, yes I know. I know. I know, okay? It's early but people have SO MUCH to think about and Christmas will loom around quicker than you think. So I thought I'd get the ball rolling early and announce that this year, I'm organising a Christmas blogger gift swap.

THE RULES // They're pretty simple

1) Email me with your interest before the end of October - katygilroyblog@hotmail.co.uk

2) I will randomly match you with another blogger, and give you each other's emails.

3) Email your match and discuss the following: budget, deadline, allergies, favourite things ETC.

4) Have fun picking out, wrapping up and sending off your gifts before Christmas!

5) Write a post aaallll about what you got.

That's it - told you it was simple. I'd love to see as many of you as possible involved in this, and don't forget to share this post on social media so aaaalll the bloggers can see it! Sorry for mentioning the C word so early on, but I want this to be the biggest and the best Christmas Gift Swap evuuurrr.

I feel like there should be a hashtag... #TLSxmas - how does that sound?

#APOVGiftSwap // Christmas Gift Swap for Bloggers

I was scrolling down Twitter whilst on my train journey to Leeds this morning when I stumbled across a tweet regarding a blogger Christmas gift swap - I immediately checked out the blog post and entered my details as fast as I could.

The swap has been set up by Viola from A Piece Of Viola - click here to visit her blog! I think it's a fabulous idea as it allows bloggers across the UK to connect with one another, make a new friend and of course, it's an excuse to go shopping. Not that we need excuses, right?

The rules are pretty simple, and the budget you set is up to you. Let us all know over on Twitter if you're planning to take part, using the hashtag #apovgiftswap :) I can't wait to see who I get matched with. I'm not massively excited about Christmas yet, but this has got me feeling a little bit more fuzzy about it.
