The Souvenir Society

The other week I got some mail, I was waiting on a couple of items but neither matched the size of this package. So I was super delighted when I opened it and realised I had won a competition from The Souvenir Society! I honestly had to trace back to eventually figure out my win was through an online newsletter called Four Thousand. (I may or may not enter way too many competitions!)

If you are an Aussie I say definitely check out The Thousands, each state is allocated a number (Brisbane gets four) and then it's a weekly newsletter sent out which showcases what's on in your area, plus lots of other random things including giveaways! 

Anyway I digress, The Souvenir Society (where my winnings came from) is an online shop based in Melbourne, Australia selling items to help make your gift wrapping super beautiful. When I opened my package I couldn't stop oo'hing and ahh'ing as everything was so nicely presented!

It's definitely been a good few weeks of surprise mail for me! 

Inside my package was a furoshiki (cloth wrap) some glittery twine and some lovely gift tags!

Coming soon to a present near you!

I selflessly kept this wrap and it's now hanging up on my wall :) I also love it's intended purpose to wrap presents too!

Super great surprise!

Thank-you Four thousand and The Souvenir Society - you made my day :)

Cloud Forest Dome - Gardens by the Bay

Okay my photos simply cannot do justice to the Cloud Forest Dome. I read an online review about it being like entering one of Miyazaki's films and I don't believe a description could be more spot on. I think I said to Ben numerous times "I'm speechless" and I kind of got choked on emotion from the grand-ness and beauty.

 It's hard to describe but the gist is, you enter the dome and you're met with this huge structure covered in flowers and plants with a spiraling walkway, the largest indoor waterfall in the World and streams of mists that get burst out every 2 hours creating a cloud effect. I think it was the most amazing designs I've ever seen. I wonder if the old Fee (who got bored of plants) would of said the same but I have a suspicion it might have changed her view :p.

The flowers and colours were so incredible and as they covered the entire structure I was constantly going "oooh look at that"

Lots of orchids to spy :)

Normally I'm not good with heights but it was Ben this time who got unnerved on the walkway, I  think I was too distracted to think about the potential of plummeting to my death :p

I really need to buy everyone a plane ticket so they can experience it themselves :)
