Lemming Central Holiday Box

What a wonderful day when large packages appear at my door. The Lemming Central Holiday Sampler arrived today and let me tell you, the etailers went all out this time. It is truly one of the best sampler boxes I've ever gotten. It was well worth the money. Plus, all those samples are in gifty bags and boxes so it's like opening 20 little Christmas presents. Here's my list of goodies and the wonderful etailers they came from:

Today my mailman brought me my September Little Black Box. So this has been a week of sampler boxes.

15% coupon and a huge sampler pack of tarts in various shapes and scents.

Paradise Cosmetics

This was a really good take for a Little Black Box. I had samples that just couldn't fit in the black box and were in the main shipping box. Plus some of these coupons were really good. I try to keep an eye on the sampler box sites to see what etailers are going to be in them. I try hard to buy a box when there are several new to me etailers contributing and this box had several etailers that I hadn't tried yet. Looking forward to it!

Celebrating 3 Years

I just wanted to congratulate Lindsay of Lindsay's Candles & Stuff on her third anniversary! 3 years is quite a feat for an Indie etailer and if I could put in an applause soundbite in this post I would.

Lindsay was a contestant in my Best of Sugar Scrubs contest and, even though she didn't win, she was very interested in constructive insight on her scrub. I've only tried her scrub but there are a few things on her site I've set my eyes on..like her 10 Minute Facial Treatment and I can always handle some more Whipped Body Butter!!!

So, please join me in congratulating Lindsay on her 3 years of hard and rewarding work as an Indie Etailer. Visit her site, Lindsay's Candles & Stuff, and you can get 33% off by using the coupon 3years. 33% is quite a generous discount for an Indie Etailer so this is her gift to you!
