I absolutely LOVE this idea from Brooke at Inchmark: have a party with your girlfriends twice a year and exchange your favorite things (under $6)...."a favorite lip gloss, favorite kitchen tool, favorite gift wrapping supply, a gift card for your favorite frozen yogurt..." Brooke took a pot of fresh basil and a list of her favorite basil recipes. What a great way to turn your friends on to some good things, find out about lots of others, it's inexpensive, I can't think of anything that isn't totally awesome about this idea!
OK, who in San Diego is in?

That's a great idea. I would love to go to/host a party like this. I just started using my all time favorite liquid eyeliner. I would love to share it.
ReplyDeletea few years ago a friend of mine hosted a shopping party. the week before, we all dropped off bags of still in good condition clothes we just never wear. then she displayed the clothes throughout her house and we all "shopped." the left-overs went to a shelter. such a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm down in SD when you have it, I'm in! Such a fun idea and good excuse for day time cocktails?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea!! I'd totally be in if I lived in SD ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Like there was any doubt.
ReplyDeleteI'm in...South OC is only a short drive away! I'm always dying to share my great finds-- the way Giada gets excited about food! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an adorable idea!
ReplyDeleteIf only I lived in SD! Such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI want to come!
ReplyDeleteI'm in.
ReplyDeleteBTW, OMG, LOL and whatever other acronym works...my verification word is "sperm".
I kid you not.
How apropos
Mel: LMAO! I'm glad you got it and not me!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOkay...
ReplyDeleteI will DRIVE to San Diego for this party. What a great idea. I love it. It's like 'blogging in action'- sharing your favorite things but actually in person!
So, I saw the previous comment about the word "sperm" and I looked at my word and thought it said "porns" but it actually said "porms" :).
fantastic idea! i think i'll have to steal the basil idea. how lovely. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - sounds fun! I'm in.
ReplyDeletegenius!
ReplyDeleteI love this! But $6?? I might have to up it to $10...
ReplyDeleteYEs Please. I want to come :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a friend of Heidi's and would love to come if you have a favorite things party. It looks like such fun!
ReplyDeleteSo fun. We did that one Christmas but I love the idea of twice a year.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely swiping this idea and bringing it to Denver!
ReplyDeletemwaw... totally questioning the life choices that took me away from SD ;) You should take this party on the road... up North!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea. If I get really ambitious I just might try it
