I couldn't resist doing a full post on all the lovely little
goodies that I received from
this event back at the beginning of
November. In the past I've found it difficult to give enough attention to all
the little bits and bobs that are given out without making the post seem too
long or bogged down so I thought why not just make a post dedicated to them
all? It also helps that I received quite a few things to talk about from this
event!
There was a standard goodie from Bloggeration which included
some loose leaf teas and a tea infuser. I have been wanting one of these for a
few months when I started to branch out with my tea drinking ways. It makes
enough for two normal sized cups or one huge one. Personally I prefer to make
one big cup of tea that can last me for quite a while. I’ve only tried the
strong tea leaves so far but I have been really enjoying them.
I think there might have been some sort of theme to the
goodies from this event as we also received some tea for teapigs. I’ve not yet
tried these, as I’ve been going through my stockpile, but I am excited to give
them a taste. I’m really hoping that it’s a strong flavour after the Ringtons
one now.
What do you need when you have so much tea? A handy little
cup to drink from! I love the slogan on this (and also the matching door sign)
but I think it’s a little too small if you are wanting a good drink whilst
writing up a post!
The Nibboxx food box was really lovely inclusion to the set.
Although again I’ve not yet tried it. I was hoping to be able to sit down and
blog whilst snacking away, which unfortunately for me hasn’t happened yet.
Because it was an event that was mainly centred on Penguin
Random House publishing, and we had one of their publishing and marketing girls
to speak to us, they were lovely enough to gift us with a selection of books
that have either just come out or are in the process of being released next
year. The only one that I’d heard of was by Yeonmi Park and I was excited to be
able to get home and read it. So far halfway through and loving it so watch
this space for my thoughts on that.
I honestly didn't expect to be receive so many lovely things from this event and also get as much advice as I did as well. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for future events put on by both Bloggeration and Sarah!
