After leaving New York and moving to Philly two years ago, Beth came up with the idea to do an exchange box to help make up for not seeing each other all the time. We’d send each other random things that we’ve collected and the box would just randomly show up whenever. No set intervals or expectations. But I love the days when I do get the box and see the wonderful little things Beth has sent! Here are a few goodies I received yesterday {oh, and the inside lid has illustrations we each found that is supposed to look like the other person…}
I love this, very sweet!
That is such a sweet idea!
woman! so glad the box arrived! i loved those darn chopsticks. might go back and buy a set for myself.
MWAH!
Aww…what a wonderfully cute idea. I love the chopsticks too.
so pretty! and i love those mugs! they are such a great idea!
That is such a great idea. I think I might start doing this with my close friend.
where did you get the chopsticks?
Adorable idea. I love it!
the chopsticks are from some store in park slope bklyn. its really cute. either on 5th or 7th its a card shop and ive blogged about it before. i just cant remember the name!!
what a fun idea!
i love that your name has become “oy”!
risa ~
ha, yes..that shows how many times it’s been sent back and forth!
-oy 😉
is that a yam i see? joy, thank you for the wonderful idea. beats a slam-book!
would you mind telling me where you found the illustration of the little girl in pigtails? thank you! (and thank you so much for your beautiful blog, you have such a great sense of style!)
such a cute idea! so sweet – love it! I think you might have just started a trend 🙂
That is SO funny! My best friend lives on the West Coast and we do the exact SAME thing. Our box finally died at the end of this year but we’ve already bought replacements. Our hubbies get SO jealous as we’re sometimes more excited over the gifts in our boxes than the gifts they give us.
Oh that is such a wonderful idea. I think I might have to do that with my sister…
