kirstykai

My name is K I R S T Y.

Please don’t put swap-bot on the outside of the envelope/package

I’m Kirsty or you can call me K. So I have been away from Swap-Bot for a while. But why? Because things has been crazy for a while with a country move but I am not settled. I am British but now living in America. So some of you who have been around a while may recognise my name from a few years ago when I was living in England.

I am happy to be back. I am married to an American and we expecting our first child, a baby boy, in February 2018.

I miss so many things from England so if anyone from England wants to make me happy you can totally say it with chocolate. I pretty much miss all chocolate from England that doesn't contain nuts. But here are a few of my favourites Roses (actually I like these from either England or Australia), Cadbury Boost, Cadbury Whispa Caramel, Munchies just to name a few.

If you think we have interests in common drop me a snail mail letter, I love talking :0)

What I would love to receive

• Something for the baby - but please no clothes in sizes newborn, 0-3 months or 3-6 months. I might have already overdone those sizes.

• Snowglobes of landmarks/country specific ones

• Christmas ornaments but ones that are country specific. For instance someone once gave me a flipflop one and a koala one from Australia. I absolutely love them and they have pride of place on my tree.

• Stickers (but not reward ones)

• TOURIST MAGNETS

• Pens

• Rubber stamps and ink pads

• I like to read books about romance, both modern day and historical. I love to read books about travelling and they can be fictional or non-fictional. I love the magazines by Lonely Planet and Wonderlust.

• Chatty snail mail letters

• Richard Galbraith Stationery if you are from Australia. I would be so so happy to have some of this - http://www.richardgalbraith.com.au/StationeryPages/StationeryFront_Page.html

• Vegetarian recipes

• Address labels (but please remember my name is Kirsty and NOT Kristy).

• Australian/New Zealand Cadburys Roses – these literally are the best in the world.

• Me to You (Tatty Teddy)

• Kitchen gadgets because I cook and bake a lot

• Kawaii

• Wax tarts

• Asian facemasks

• OPI nail polishes

• Bento boxes

• Washi tapes

• Cath Kidson items

• Yankee candles (no vanilla or cinnamon please)

• I love both dark and milk chocolate, but please no cheap chocolate or Hersheys

• An item from my Amazon wishlist

THINGS I AM LOVE WITH

• Paris

• Cherry blossom pattern

• Hawaii

• Fiji

• Australia

• hibiscus flowers

• Northern Lights

• Fazer chocolate from Finland – the one with red berries in.

• Australian/New Zealand Cadburys Roses chocolate – so much better than the UK version.

Food I love or would like to try

• Crunchy Cheetos

• M&M (dark chocolate, mint, raspberry or coconut)

• Milo chocolate bars (The brownie ones are awesome)

• Jelly Belly Beans

• Cadburys Boost sticks

• Cadbury Roses (only from Australia and New Zealand)

• Fazer chocolate with red berries (Finland)

NO THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING:-

• Lavender

• Teatree oil

• Hersheys Chocolate (I really really really dislike Hersheys chocolate and it simply goes straight in the bin/trash)

• Friendship books like sbs, lbs, lyrix, slams.

• Floral scents (save for rose)

• I am allergic to nuts - But you can send me items that say “MAY CONTAIN NUTS” because I have found lately every product maker puts this on their packaging and it just gets silly.

• Tea or coffee

• ATCs – they are not for me. I don’t really understand them and have nowhere to put them.

• Flower or plant seeds – no flowers or plants last more than 5 minutes with me.

• Notecards because I have way too many.

HALL OF FAME - These are the names of some people who I think rock here on Swap-bot:-
