Rachel's Diaries: Cruelty Free And Vegan Bloggers Secret Santa With Sarah Kirby

Nothing says Christmas to me than getting involved and joining in with fellow bloggers and doing a Secret Santa gift exchange.

As soon as I found out that the lovely Sarah Kirby was organising one I knew I had to get involved and even started planning my gifts before I had all the info.

The whole idea behind the #CFVSecretSanta was to send a gift with the minimum £10 budget, now for me, I definitely went over the budget with my gifts. The gifts had to be Cruelty Free and Vegan then sent on to the person you were allocated. Commence the stalking spree. You were also left with the decision with revealing yourself if you wanted too.

I had so much fun getting my package together and a lot of thought went into it, I just hope that the lovely lady that received mine enjoyed it. I chose not to reveal myself because where's the fun in that?! I left a lovely hand written card to send out a request through social media if they wanted me to reveal myself.

Obviously for taking part it meant I got my very own Secret Santa happy mail package. I've tried so hard to save it but I eventually cracked and had to take full advantage of the snow we had recently, so I'm sharing the contents of mine with you.

First off, I just want to say a massive Thank You to my secret Santa as I love all the products I received and will use each and every item. You really did your homework and have done me proud. Look at the loveliness.

You know what else is amazing?? Is that I haven't tried any of these products before and there's a couple of brands I've been dying to try. I'm talking about you, Crazy Rumours Peppermint Twist lip balm!! I've been wanting to try these out for ages!! Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

There was also lots of yummy sweets and those vegan Rhythm 108 bars were to die for. I'll be buying more of them, but sadly they didn't last very long! I also received a Chirp Body hair mask that I'm really excited to try out as I've never heard of the brand before.

There's also a Makeup Revolution Ghost Finish Baking Powder, I've never used a baking powder before so looking forward to giving this a try. There's also a Lush Snow Fairy shower gel, that looks so sparkly and fun to use. Can you believe I've never actually tried this before??

And last but not least there's a lovely looking Pure Hydration facial oil that's from Waitrose. I've never even thought to have a look at their beauty products before.

I'd love to say Thank You properly for all my wonderful gifts so could my Secret Santa please reveal themselves.

I can't wait until next year! Did you take part in a Secret Santa?? Have you tried any of these products before??
