Been having a bit of a think and there’s a couple of ideas I would like to try and get going, but I wanted to see if their was anyone who would want to take part before hitting ‘go’, so please feed back to me on these good or bad! I’d love to know what you think.
Idea 1 – Swaps!
With all the fab ideas coming in for what the surprise should be I wondered if people would like to get involved in some surprise swapping!
I was thinking we could set up an area and a price range so for the first swap we might say something like socks and a budget of £5.
Other ideas I’ve thought of are Pound Store finds, a Small Teddy, a Book, a favourite lip blam. It will always be something small, and I would love to make it international to get everyone involved but if you want to swap within your own country you just need to leave a message and I will do my best.
Idea 2 – Blog Hop!
I was thinking of a hop where you could link up your favourite post of the week? I will try and keep rules to a minimum as I know they can get annoying, but I was thinking maybe just to checkout a couple of blogs and if they are what you would like to read then follow?
The first Blog Hop will be held on Saturday 15th! I have a lovely co-host all lined up for the first week but if you would like to co-host after please give me a shout at: sarah@lifeinabreakdown.com.
Anyway like I said PLEASE give me some feedback I would love to get them rolling ASAP though, and if you could help with organising or hosting I would love to have you on board as well.

I like some of the cohesive themes I’ve done with other bloggers. Kind of like a blog hop, only you set up little thumbnail images for each blog, and each blog is all working under the same thing. Like recently, we did ‘favorite makeup brush’ for one.
Hi Sarah! Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up with my NO RULES Weekend Blog Party!! I’m now your newest GFC follower Congrats on making it to 1000!!!! How awesome is that?!!!
What good ideas! I’m a new follower from the Weekend Blog Walk, and I’d love a follow back at at http://www.two-in-diapers.blogspot.com when you get the chance!
The blog hop sounds good- I have seen a couple of similar ones but its nice to see other blogs that may catch your interest. Not sure about the swaps idea to be honest
So I wasn’t following yet! I’m following now with GFC. Thx for helping me out with my blog! good luck with your ideas, I think they are interesting! http://www.curlsandbags.com
All these sound fun, I’d be in. If you do go with it please contact me! I’d love to help. I found ya on the BlogLovin hop, which I’m now following you.
Sounds great! By the way, i’m following you now courtesy of the Followers to Friends bloghop! Great blog! I hope you’ll visit my blog and follow me too!
A swap is a lovely idea. I love the idea, but I don’t think I’d do it for real. I’m in Canada and sending anything by snail mail is prohibitively expensive. I’d probably spend more on postage than on an item.
A way to keep the shipping down could be buying online, and having the item shipped straight to your partner? I could also only set you up with a person from Canada and if no one else joined up from Canada we could have a natter and see if we could sort anything else out. x
I think I’ll try and sort out a form for people to register interest and see how it goes, thinking of silly socks to start with – really light to post and you can get some fantastic ones!x
The blog hop is starting on Saturday (guest hosts wanted lol) and I will have a post up on Wednesday about the swap to see how people like the more ‘in depth’ idea.
I’ve got together an idea which I will set like in a minute… It shouldn’t be too big or heavy – depends how you take the idea (Though I don’t think heavy would come into it anyway haha) xx

Wow that’s cool! I’ve never done that before, just the traditional blog hop. I think that wouls be great for this blog!
YES! A blog hop sounds like a really cool idea! I love blog hops & being able to find more blogs
I have heard of blog hops but I don’t really know what they are. I would definitely be interested in some more information!
I’ve heard of blog hops but not really sure what they are. Sounds interesting! x

I’ve left you a comment on your blog hun about co-hosting
Xx
ooh both ideas sound really good, im down for them both
The blog hop is starting on Saturday (guest hosts wanted lol)
and I will have a post up on Wednesday about the swap to see how people like the more ‘in depth’ idea.

Yup, both sound fun!!! I love being able to make connections through blogging,and little gifts are as much fun to send as they are to get!
I was thinking it would be ok, if it was very small. Something that fit in an envelope. I would be up for that.
I’ve got together an idea which I will set like in a minute… It shouldn’t be too big or heavy – depends how you take the idea (Though I don’t think heavy would come into it anyway haha) xx
Your blog makes me happy
So much fun x
Aww I’m so glad:) xx
