The Disney Easter Gift Exchange

Hi lovelies! With Easter on the horizon (and sunny days and blue skies!), I thought I'd like to do something to celebrate the season! For the past two years I've hosted a Disney Halloween Gift Exchange on Twitter which is basically a Disney/Halloween-themed Secret Santa so I thought I'd try my hand at holding an Easter one on Instagram this year!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

How it works/rules:

- This is a secret exchange so I'll pick a person for each participant to send a gift to and a person for everyone to recieve a gift from! The person you are sending to and the person you are receiving a gift from will be different so it will be a great opportunity for you to get to know two people in the Disney community a little better!

- The theme is Disney and Easter so you'll need to include something from both of these in your gift. For example for Easter you could include some Easter chocolate or a card and then for Disney... Anything Disney-themed goes!

- The budget is £10 (postage not included) but handmade gifts are more than welcome!

- This is open to anyone who has an Instagram and would like to take part but only addresses in the UK I'm afraid due to logistics!

- Remember to include your Instagram handle with your gift so the recipient knows who it's from!

- You can post your gift by any postage class/type you wish, but you must obtain proof of postage and you'll need to send me a picture of this once it has been posted

- If for any reason anyone doesn't send a gift to their recipient and I don't get any contact from them I'm afraid I will have to blacklist you from taking part in any future gift exchanges I host (I know this sounds harsh but you'd be surprised how often this happens...!)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Dates:

- I will be collecting everyone's details until the end of Sunday 4th March

- I will allocate everyone someone to send to by Wednesday 7th March and then you can start shopping!

- Your gift needs to be posted by Monday 19th March by the latest

- If I haven't heard from anyone with their proof of postage by Tuesday 20th March I will start chasing those people!

- If you haven't received your gift by Monday 26th March please let me know and I'll get something sorted. Don't worry - everyone will definitely receive a gift one way or another!

***If you think you won't make the last posting day please let me know! As long as I'm kept in the loop we can get things sorted!***

If you'd like to get involved:

Send me a message on Instagram (@courageandkindness) with these details:

1. Your full name and address

2. A few of your favourite Disney characters/films

(To make it easier for the person who is buying for you!)

3. Whether you'd be happy to receive sweets/chocolates

And that's everything! If there's anything you'd like to ask, feel free to send me a message on Instagram!

The Oh My Disney Collection at the Disney Store UK

Hi lovelies! The most amazing big ol' box of goodies arrived on my doorstop from the Disney Store last week and I'm so excited to share it with you! Digital Disney superbrand Oh My Disney have teamed up the Disney Store to create the most magical yet sassy collection and I am so in love. The entire range is utterly dreamy and there's everything from glittery notebooks to an inspirational makeup bag! Here are some of the wonderful things I received...

Pencil Set - £6.00

Evil Queen Compact Mirror - £10.00

Journal - £12.00

The Lion King Cosmetics Case - £9.00

Everything in this collection is so incredibly designed - it definitely feels like a collection that was made for the fans! While the usual popular films are covered in this collection like Cinderella and Snow White, they've also included some other Disney films that don't usually get as much love like Mulan and Brave which makes me so happy to see!

Luggage tag - £8.00

Sticky Notes Set - £6.00

Cheshire Cat Keyring - £6.00

Passport Holder - £10.00

Sleeping Beauty Travel Mug - £10.00

As well as the beautiful designs, everything still has that usual Disney Store quality and attention to detail that you'd expect. I love how the makeup bag has an adorable Lion King print on the inside and even the travel mug has a proper sliding lid on the top, making it just as practical as it is pretty. No coffee bag spills for this sleepy Princess!

Make sure you check out the entire collection on the Disney Store's website! There's also an amazing pin set and the loveliest Millennial pink Cinderella shirt that I may have to add to my basket on a future order!

A huge, huge thank you to the Disney Store for sending me these gorgeous things. I'd spotted this collection online a while ago and I had been praying that it would come to the UK so I was so over-the-moon to be given all these goodies!

Disney Valentine's Day 2018 Gift Guide - For Her & Him

Hi lovelies! With only a few more days until Valentine's Day arrives I thought I'd share a Disney gift guide for anyone who needs a little inspiration for the Disney fan in their life! I've included quite a few things from EMP who are actually currently running a discount code on their Disney range for Valentine's Day! Just spend £20 and get 15% off your order with the code "EMPUKDISNEY15", valid until 11:59pm on 11th Feb!

If your partner loves a good t-shirt then how about EMP's Coco T-Shirt (#1 - £12.99) or the Disney Store's Minnie Rock The Dots Ladies' T-Shirt (#8 - £16.00)? Both of these are shiny new releases so hopefully they shouldn't have already picked one up for themselves! EMP'S Beauty and the Beast Sparkling Dress (#3 - £32.99) and Beauty and the Beast Rose Choker (#11 - £7.99) would also make the perfect Valentine's dinner outfit!

If accessories are more their thing then the Disney Store currently have lots of lovely Danielle Nicole bags and purses in stock like this lovely Snow White Coin Purse (#4 - £12.00). I have one of these and it looks and feels like it should have cost ten times the price! There's also this lovely (and romantic!) Tangled Pocket Mirror (#2 - £12.99) from EMP. And if you'd like to go a little more traditional, this beautiful Beauty and the Beast Rose Gold-Plated Enchanted Rose Bracelet (#7 - £27.00) from Couture Kingdom should be just the ticket!

If you're looking for a more of a gift-type present then the Disney Store's Lady and the Tramp Soft Toy Set (#6 - £20.00) and Mickey and Minnie Ufufy Mini Set (#10 - £6.00) are ridiculously adorable choices! And for those Tim Burton fans, these Sally + Jack Skellington Vynl Figures (#5 - £19.99) are a lovely alternative to the usual Pop-style figurines!

And finally, Typo have reduced this Mickey Valentine's Day Card to only 50p! Bargain!

Hope this helps!
