I was matched with a local Redditor. She was really lovely and messaged me to say hi, and she let me know that she was organising my gift. I thought it was actually really nice to receive a message like that. It instills confidence that you've got a cool match who is actually pro-active :) So I think that in my future exchanges I'll do that too.

Anyway, this morning she sent me a message to say that she had dropped off my package. I was stoked! I received a beautiful Cocoa & Vanilla Reed Diffusion Set. Sounds like a mouthful but it's actually a really simple, elegant way of diffusing a fragrance in a room. You dip the reeds in the oil and then let the freshly dipped side stick out the top. It slowly wafts around the room so it's not overpowering like incense can be. And you can take the reeds out and put them back into their plastic packaging and put the stopper back in the bottle if you want to stop using it for a while. It's small enough to just sit on my bookshelf and look pretty which is great :)

The smell was perfect for me. I ADORE vanilla and the combination with cocoa was a nice twist because sometimes plain vanilla can be quite boring. My room smells sort of like a bakery. It's delicious and also makes me want to run out and buy cupcakes :)

So a big thank you to my wonderful match! Having such a lovely smell can really lift your spirit and change the mood of a room and I think this gift sufficiently did that.
