Sampler Village {Review and Giveaway}

January 8, 2010


I normally don't like surprises, but I make an exception for surprises that come in the mail. You just never know what's inside and it's so much fun to find out!

The other day a box from Sampler Village arrived in the mail for me to review. Oh my heavens, it was like opening a Christmas stocking because there are all kinds of little surprises of treats, trinkets, and goodies!

Look at this box stuffed with delights!


See what I mean about it being fun?!!

Every month the sampler box is different, and it's filled with things like candle tarts/melts, bath & body products, soaps, magnets, paper goods, ornies, perfume oils, teas, coupons, food mixes, candies and more!

You'll sample some wonderful products from places you may never have heard about otherwise!


BUY IT!

The Winter Sample Box is available for $20 and the Winter Sample Bag is available for $12.

Valentine's themed boxes will be on sale January 21st!


GIVEAWAY!

The box in the picture above is the very one that I received and it's a December box. And Sampler Village has been so kind as to offer one of my readers the chance to have a December box too!

Keep in mind that every box is different, so yours will not have the exact same things that mine did, but that means it's going to be a SURPRISE!


Required Entry: Visit Sampler Village and scroll through the list of January villagers (left sidebar) that are contributing to the January box. Find one that is particularly appealing to you and come back and tell me the name. (You must include your email address if not in your profile or you will not be eligible to win.)


Optional extra entries:(Once you've done the required entry, you may do as many of these extra entry options as you'd like!) Leave separate comments for each entry.

They have bath bombs from Bathgasm! Woo hoo. Those are awesome (my LG loves to throw them into the tub for me, and it's an extra special treat if he gets one!)

I like the Sweet Vanilla Bean Villager. The shop is eclectic, but I especially love the Pretty Rainbow Lanyard -- just the thing I've been looking for work-wise. Thank you!
