Last week I was pleasantly surprised to get an email from none other than the Fairy Hobmother. If you are a part of the blogosphere you might have heard of him (yes, the Hobmother is a he.)
If you haven’t, and you’re a blogger, pay attention. Matthew, the Fairy Hobmother, works for a great UK company, Appliances Online, which sells things like freezers, refrigerators, washers, dryers, etc. He goes around visiting bloggers and gifting them with Amazon Gift Cards just with the simple request that you share a little about him in a post. Easy peasy. I’m sure you’re wondering, just how does he pick the bloggers that he chooses to gift? Simple, leave a comment on a blog post that’s been written about him and hopefully he’ll fly by your blog and drop you a little fairy dust too!
Oh, and aren’t those little bottles of fairy dust with their tiny wands so adorable? Yeah, I found them on Amazon while I was figuring out what to spend my gift card on. I ended up getting some of my new favorite Peach flavored Swirl Green Tea – it’s awesome if you haven’t tried it yet. The tea bags are designed to be cold-brewed and they are perfectly shaped to slide into a water bottle. I’ve been getting in a ton more water lately just by adding them in to a bottle. And, I got a new reusable iced coffee cup (which I use for basically any cold drinks.) I still have a good chunk of the gift card left to use for a rainy day too.
If the Fairy Hobmother came to visit you, what would you spend your Amazon Gift Card on?
Disclosure: I was given a gift card in exchange for this post. As always, all thoughts are my own.
How cute are those, my girls would love them!

Interesting idea! At this point I might buy some cloth diapers. I also want some shape cutters for bento meals for my toddler! For MYSELF, I’d probably buy clothing.

Oh boy, I could really use a visit right now! Everything seems to be breaking down in my house from my hair dryer to my refrigerator. We’ll see what the GE guy says today, but I’d likely use my amazon gift card for a new fridge! Lacking that, diapers and other essentials. We’re in “need” mode – wants will have to wait a while!

Aw, I hate when it all seems to hit the fan at once.
I hope things start looking up (and stop breaking!)
My daughter’s birthday is next month and it would help with her presents.

If that fairy dust were real I’d buy some of that but in a real world what I want is a Canon Rebel DSLR, what I’d get is a toaster. Yeah it doesn’t take much to make me happy.

Oooh, you should totally save up for the camera. I love mine! I have a list of lenses that I want now too. It’s an addiction…
I have a Rebel SLR film camera with various lenses from wide angle, macro and 80-300 zoom. When I found out all those lenses will work with the DSLR I’ve been craving one since it’s just hard to justify spending $700 on a camera body when other things need attention. In the last 3 months I’ve spent over $800 on medical, more than enough for my camera but health is more important than a luxury item.

He stopped by our blog and it was awesome!!!!
You’ll probably think I’m crazy but I’d use it yo buy some early Christmas gifts for my boys

Totally not crazy. I have a “gift closet.” It’s much easier to buy them throughout the year and not have to try to work it all into the budget at the end of the year.
Oh! I have a huge wish list on Amazon and I think that I’d start there and then move on to finding some new books to read!
Jackie recently posted..Today it starts!! #Cinchspiration
I am trying to save up for a new camera lens so the credit would go towards that. BTW… it was so great getting to meet you this weekend!

Fun! What lens? I have a list of lenses that I want. I have issues spending/splurging on myself though so I never get them, LOL. (Mom problems…) And it was great to meet you too!
Love those little bottles of fairy dust! I’m so excited about our little girl arriving and finally being able to talk about girl things like fairies.
