~Food Samples~

Adrienne Mason
chocolate dipped pretzel I absolutely loved this! I love dipped pretzels and so this was the first thing I ate!! It was yummy and I know I will be ordering from this company when it is time to treat myself to a yummy snack!

Pretty Wrapped Up
Cute tag with 2 tootsie rolls. Coupon for 15% off a 25.00 order. I think this is a cute tag. A very nice way to package handmade goods, or to use for show fillers.

Primitive Baking
Sugar cookie shaped heart and frosted. I love the little kraft box this came in. The cookie was yummy ? I don’t get many treats as I am trying to be a good girl and steer away from them.. but gobbled this right up.

This was a cute valentine bag with a foil wrapped chocolate covered oreo. OH MY.. I seriously had to fight my son for this! So, I cut it in half. LOL This was a very yummy, very addicting treat! I really could have eaten the whole thing.! (but Mom shares ya know.. LOL)

Vintage Confections
The most adorable takeout box in a pretty pink for valentines day. Love that. But, I had no idea who this was from until I opened my smashed fortune cookie to find the little fortune message. I love fortune cookies, and even though mine was smashed, it was yummy. The dipped cherry looked good, but I don’t eat cherries so couldn’t get myself to try that. I also got a few chunks of what I think is toffee, but it has a more of a cinnamon taste..so really not sure what it is?? But it is good.

Karen and Nancy
Cute kraft bag with 2 caramels in it. Caramel is my number 1 weakness.. LOL I love caramel and these were very yummy!!

My Little Hands
This is a very cute kraft bag, with an even cuter hand made key chain in it. My key chain has a heart on it. To send in samples like this had to take the crafter a lot of time to make. This is what I call putting your heart into your work.

Anam Cara Candles
A tealight scented in fruit slices. I love tealights and use them a lot. Nice sample.

Country Light Candles
Nice sized tart scented in Love Spell. This is not a scent I care for, but still love the size of the tart because a person can really get a good idea of what quality the tarts are.

Wynndrew
Nice sized sample of Lavender bath salts. I myself am not a lavender person, but am sure someone I know is. This also had a 10% off coupon on the bag. Nice.

The Rooster Mill
I got a HUGE bath bomb! OH MY.. how did they know I love vanilla and baths.. LOL This is a great sample! Well it isn’t really a sample.. it is a full product! I love this and will for sure be shopping with them when my bath bomb stash gets low.

Country Hearts Gifts
This is a very cute little sample of lip balm in a cute purple pot. French Vanilla..one of my favorites!

Park Ave Creations
I just love the packaging that this company used. This sample came in a very cute red bag..perfect for Valentines Day. I got a sample of body butter scented in Amber Romance, and a cute soap sample in the shape of a heart scented in Sweet Thang. Also, a 20% off coupon… Love coupons!!

Purely-Mine
This was a very nice sample…. Because it was full sized products! I got a 4 oz jar of a bubble body wash but not sure of the scent (no scent label), and a 2.5 oz hand lotion scented in lavender mist. I love when a company sends in products like this! Really gives me an idea of what the company takes pride. Oh.. There was also a coupon for free shipping off a 25.00 order. Nice!

Natural Goodies
Oh MY.. someone knows I like to take baths. LOL I got a yummy smelling bath salt sample. This was scented Cherry Almond. I can’t wait to use it!! Also got a 10% coupon code.. I love coupons.

Chrysler Creek
I got a full size soap scented in Vanilla Ylang Ylang. I love soap, and have quiet the collection, but keep building it! LOL

Strawberry Fields Candles
I absolutely love this sample! It is 2 cute little grubby votives scented in cotton candy..yummy!! I have yet to order from this company…but am so wanting to get some goodies soon!!

Ugly Duckling Designs
I got the cutest pink takeout box and inside was the best smelling chocolate covered cherry tarts. OH MY.. I really wanted to eat these.. LOL! But, I didn’t. Also got a 25% off coupon that I am for sure gonna have to use soon.

Melt My Heart
I love bookmarks so this was very nice to get. The bookmark has a 15% off coupon on it for an order.

Ticklish Moose
