Hello! Boy I would just love everything in your little present - thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck on an island, i would want...either watercolors or a really big sarong - keep the heat out, stay fashionable and un-sunburt, and use it as a sail! :)
wow, this is kind of a tough one, but i think i would have to go with lots and lots of sunscreen, not the most fun thing, but i picked it because i would burn to a crisp if i was in the sun all day!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to have my iPod. I'd go crazy without my music. Please enter me thanks!! The package looks beautiful! emilieej[at]yahoo[dot]com
ReplyDeleteHmmm... let's see. If I were stuck on a desert island, I would absolutely have to have a notebook and pencil. Something to draw on, write down my feelings, hopes & dreams on, & a place to write a love note to my husband.
ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck on a desert island, I would have to have a copy of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. My absolute favorite book!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely need to have a fine tip sharpie. I could draw on any surface and make lists of ways to get home :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
laura.
I'd take out an old dictionary from the library with me. The smell of old books is something I adore and I love type and words. I could learn something new everyday and if I were rescued, I'd be pretty articulate ;)
ReplyDeletei'd really love to win this! (:
ReplyDeletethis is tough, but i guess if i were stuck on a deserted island i'd want to have a camera, specifically a polaroid camera and a million pack of polaroid film.
Even if it's deserted it's still an island right? probably a pretty one too. lol (:
janeherself@yahoo.com
hmm, i'd have to say, that if i could only have one thing, it'd have to be a friend ... i'd hate to explore the island alone! :)
ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck on a desert island, I would have to have my little camera!
ReplyDeletehoneybelledesign@gmail.com
Ohhh great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIf I was stuck on a dessert island I would want my boyfriend with me. (and hopefully he would have matches in his pocket hehe)
xox Erin
i would love to recieve this pretty little package in the mail!
ReplyDeleteif i were stuck on a deserted island i would have to take....my husband so i wouldnt be lonely and he could climb up the trees to get me some coconuts:)
Books. I know its wrong. I know I couldn't survive long, but I have an obsession with books. They are seriously a security blanket.
ReplyDeletelove this.
ReplyDeletegreat question....i think if i were stuck on an island, i would have to have books and magazines. i would be lost without them!
A never-ending subscription to the New Yorker dropped to me every week via passing pelicans.

ReplyDeletemessyjessecrafts@hotmail.co.uk
If I were stuck on a desert island and my lips never got chapped and my skin never burnt, I think I would have to have my cat (or my husband would suffice too). LOL.
ReplyDeleteLovely giveaway Danni!
ooh my! what a lovely little package of goodies!
ReplyDeletewell I think I would have to have my mother with me. she is like a super amazing artist and survival women. but if it has to be a thing I guess I would say my Bible. :)
mialovesgod@yahoo.com
Though most people would think of something practical, I would opt to have my digital slr camera with me on the island!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most lovely giveaway ever!!
ReplyDeleteIf I couldn't have my favorite people with me on a desert island, then I would have to have my laptop and high speed internet :)
My dog Chance! He could protect me from the local flora and fauna and maybe even help me find dinner. He'd keep me company and would make a good pillow too!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely have to have books and fashion magazines!
ReplyDeletewhitepoppy@rfassoc.com
I would like either a book or a sketch pad.
ReplyDeleteAssuming water is a non-issue.
Oh, well that's easy. I would absolutely have to have a Target store. Not only would it provide food, clothing, makeup and jewelry, it's also a job possibility! Plus when I get bored with being stuck there I'll hitch a ride home on the delivery helicopter.
ReplyDeleteI would have to have a water pump... so I could drink water. :) love this giveaway whoever gets this one is a lucky duck!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say my dog, Izzie!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great giveaway...I love all your favorite things :D
ReplyDeleteNow, if I were stuck on a desert island...hmmm...I'd have to have some paper, pens and an xacto knife.
What a beautiful, beautiful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would have to have my little teddy bear with me. He's been everywhere with me...I'm sure he wouldn't want to miss out on a desert island! :)
This has to be the cutest giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, if I were stuck on an island, I would want my camera. Best way to entertain myself :)
winterperfume@yahoo.com
I would NEED my husband- he's so handy and resourceful he could probably just make anything else I needed! :)
ReplyDeletea computer with Internet access so I can follow my favorite blogs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely give-away!!
ReplyDeletePracticality says I would absolutely have to have a lighter with lots of lighter fluid.
Love says I would absolutely have to have my husband.
Frivolity says I would absolutely have to have an amazing bed.
<3
I would want a polaroid camera! I don't think it's practical, but it sure would be fun.
ReplyDeletejessica at jessicatorresphotography.com
What a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck on an island I would definitely want my laptop..so I could email someone and tell them to come get me!
allisonmills79@hotmail.com
oh man...i would have to say...a good book!
ReplyDeletewhat a fantabulous giveaway!
ReplyDeletethis is a toughie but i have to say i wouldn't be able to survive without my Burt's Bees Peppermint Lip Balm :)
dearsuzanne@gmail.com
www.suzyville.blogspot.com
I would take a friend of course! I would hate to resort to befriending a volleyball out of loneliness!
ReplyDeletethis is the cutest giveaway!
ooh...lovely surprise package!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely bring my ipod, journal, and camera...documenting the days and things I found and saw on the island with my favorite music playlist!
What a fun giveaway, Danni! If I were on a desert island, I would have to have my Bible. No doubt about it. For a second there I thought- rice! so I can make sushi!... but really.... that's just silly. The Bible is the food I will need most if I were stuck alone on a desert island!
ReplyDeletethis give-away is fantastic! to be so lucky and find this in my mailbox!
ReplyDelete++++
desert island:
blank notebook.
black ink pen.
thanks for this! love, lindsay
Such inspiration - I'm in love! Thank you for the opportunity. The one thing I couldn't live without on an island would be Burt's Bees Lip Balm. But I think I would die without Google Reader and my list of inspirational blogs :) jj10bower@shaw.ca
ReplyDeletedoes "family" count as one?
ReplyDeleteI'd need my hubby- FOR SURE! He's my BFF!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely things!
ReplyDeleteI could not live with out music, so the one thing I'd have to have would be an iPod with a full library of music on it. Mine, my dad's, my mom's, Steve's. All our music combined to make it all better.
Hm, well, bottled water would be first on my list! Second, would be a cute floppy beach hat and a great beach read!
ReplyDeleteI would want a can of paint and a brush- then I would keep busy by painting all the palm trees. And then, a Navy ship would find me faster. :)
ReplyDeleteDella
milkmaid1@gmail.com
This is a tough one...hm.
ReplyDeleteI would take either my iPod [that was magically enchanted to never run out of battery life, of course! ^_^]
or
my Harry Potter books, all 7, because I could read those over and over and over again! :]
xo.
missindie@mchsi.com
Definitely MUSIC and my scriptures, both would keep me alive and give me hope. Cheesy, I know, but true.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
Besides the obvious of drinking water...I would have to say that I would go crazy if I didn't have my music. It makes me happy and alive. If I had music I would be able to keep going...
ReplyDeleteAdorable idea and such an awesome giveaway! If I couldn't have the obvious (good company and a rescue plan) I think I'd opt for a beautiful blank notebook and a great pen. Sketching and writing would hopefully fill some of that extra time I'd have on my hands...
ReplyDeleteHeather
hlschwartz@gmail.com
A journal & pens. I'd lose my sanity if I couldn't write or draw!
ReplyDeletemartinadesign|at|hotmail|dot|com
what a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeletestrangely enough, the first thing that popped up in my mind when i read the question was "the bible". i guess while i'm stranded on an island, it would be great to catch up on some time alone with my heavenly Father.
If I was stuck on a desert island, I would have to have a huge glass of iced coffee. :)
ReplyDeleteshelby
shelbatron@mac.com
I'd like to have my iPod with me. Maybe the Island would have magical properties, and my iPod would never run out of batteries. ;)
ReplyDeletetouch decision - my hubby and my yorkie pup. They both brighten everyday for me.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute giveaway. I love it.
ReplyDeleteTrapped on a desert island? I'd need my computer with internet. or my husband. hah.
You are so nice to offer such a great giveaway! I'd need my glasses and/or a really cool pair of prescription sunglasses on my island. And a pina colada
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway....love your blog. I actually have two can't live withouts. The two things I could not live without is my laptop and my toothbrush. Two must haves!
ReplyDeleteChrista
OMG if I were on a desert island, i definelly have to have my dear boyfriend, he knows camping and all that jazz, besides i will have too much LOVE thats everything i need to survive, xoxo.
ReplyDeleteGina
ginafloresg@gmail.com
lovely giveaway! i would take pen and paper to my island. i love writing :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty giveaway!
ReplyDeleteTo answer: I would hope to have my lipgloss...I go cuckoo without anything on my lips! Other than that, I'm pretty good with entertaining myself. I could build sand castles, collect shells, try my hand at weaving coconut tree leaves, build a fire like I've seen on Man vs Wild, I'd sing super loud (no one around), crack a coconut...haha, told ya I could entertain myself.
i would most definitely take my husband, does that count? :) he could do all the dirty work while i sipped coconuts on the beach!
ReplyDeletestacecadet21@gmail.com
I would bring my ipod,packed full with music,movies and my fav. taiwanese drama series..! So I won't go nuts and start talking to myself..hahaha
ReplyDeleteerinyiyan@gmail.com
Ack! These questions stress me out! Are food and water taken care of? Is there any shade at all? I burn very easily! Are there dangerous animals? Can I make fire with the things already there?
ReplyDeleteOkay, if all of that basic survival stuff is dealt with, then I would bring my cat. His name is Thunder Kitty and he entertains me endlessly. We're a duo.
what a wonderful giveaway! i would probably take john locke from LOST because he seems to know a whole lot about island survival...
ReplyDeleteoh mannnnnnnn, this is such an amazing giveaway!
ReplyDeletei would definitely have to take my husband. no question! does that count as "something?" :)
thanks danni!

What a great idea! I love your blog! :) If I were stuck on a desert island, I would need a book. It wouldn't even matter which one--as long as I could read, I would be an infinitely happy girl. :)
ReplyDeleteChani

I'd want a never-ending supply of books on this deserted island. Not sure how that would work out... maybe I could get monthly book-drops? :)
ReplyDeleteI am really loving all of these pretty packages. So inspirational! Thanks for the comment on my blog and yes of course if you ever come to Maui you should definitely hit me up! That would be so fun! I love playing tour guide. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway! Yes please.
ReplyDeleteI would want to have my best friend or my camera. Both would be nice!

ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck on an island I would want my Mommy. As childish as it might sound. She's the best!
And my e-mail is NicoleLynFellows@gmail.com in case you cant reach me through my blog.
Thanks! Have a lovely day!
If I were stuck on a desert island, I would absolutely need to have one of those cute little gypsy wagons, completely furnished with an internet connection, and a friend to hang out with. I'm going to live it up on the island.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely giveaway!
The number one most important thing to have with me on a desert island would be a companion. Someone to make me laugh and keep me from dying of boredom, and maybe help brainstorm ways to get off said desert island!!!
ReplyDeletejmarchand221 at gmail.com
So if I had to choose one thing to have with me on a desert island (assuming this is a religiously free island), it would have to be my Bible. Not only would it be the only thing to keep me sane, but I could read it over and over and over again- heck I could attempt to memorize the whole thing. It would also give me lyrics to compose songs, as I cannot live without music. Yes- that is definitely it.
ReplyDeletemittelstadtbm@masters.edu
A journal and pen so I could keep myself sane.
ReplyDeletebyf208@gmail.com
Ooh, hooray for completely darling giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely have to have my vanilla Lip Smackers. Oh yes.
What a great gift to receive...
ReplyDeleteI would have to take a Kindle with hundreds of books...
What a fun giveaway! If I were stuck on a desert island, I would need a big floppy hat, some sunscreen and a really long novel to get lost in!
ReplyDeletemy camera. I'd want to take photos constantly if I were stuck on an island, after the initial shock of being stuck on an island.
ReplyDeletePopcorn! That seems like not a very practical choice, but definitely popcorn. Specifically homemade kettle corn
ReplyDeletewow danni.. thank you for being so generous with the giveaways! how lovely!! :)
ReplyDeleteI just realised I forgot my cell phone, but i guess unlimited water supply is a MUST HAVE if i ended up in a desert! but yeah.. cell phone is good too.. so i can contact someone ;-D
erpiji_gal[AT]yahoo[DOT]com
Everything is so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck on a desert island ... I would pick someone, my husband to give me company, instead of something. He is my best friend!
Am I allowed to say, "A way off!" haha, but seriously, if it has to be a physical object them I would love to have some pieces of beautiful material...
ReplyDeleteWhy? Well, clothes, shelter, bandages, sun protection, beauty, keeps you cool (when wet), keep you warm (when dry), keeps you happy (cause it's beautiful!!!)
talia.carbis (@) gmail.com

So lovely!! I would have to bring my i-pod!
ReplyDeleteJen Kolakowski
pkolakowski@sbcglobal.net
This is so nice of you Danni!
ReplyDeleteAlso, difficult!
Just one item...I would have to say my iPod. And some kind of mechanism to charge it with solar power.
(It was a tricky choice between that and a never-ending supply of coffee.)
aside from the obvious (sunscreen, i'm quite pale) i would absolutely have to have either alice in wonderland (the novel) or a kipling collection. theres always something new to notice when you read them.
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest giveaway ever!
ReplyDeleteI would have to have at least one Harry Potter book. I'm horrible.
kknelson2@gmail.com
this is such a cute giveaway - i'm especially excited about the book of notes! so if i were stuck on a desert island, as much as i'd want to say a good book, i think i'd have to go with sunscreen, cause i'd be pretty miserable if i was burnt to a crisp the whole time.
ReplyDeletekatie[dot]stapleton[at]gmail[dot]com
pretty packages filled with lovely things... ahhh! :)
ReplyDeletehmm, if i was stuck on a desert island i would likes to have a super size container of elmers glue. :) hmm, or a pack of needles, i could make thread from things out in nature and stitch stuff together..
too much awesomeness in one giveaway! :]
ReplyDeletealso, i think i'd be cheating the system, but i'd bring a bookshelf (filled with books, of course.) haha.
Katie Scott
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW, I want the giveaway! :) I'd bring my husband. If it's a deserted island there would be no need for anything else than him. :) But, if I had to bring one thing, it would be a hammock!!! And, somehow I'd find a hidden library in a cave so I could read while in the hammock!
katiescott724@gmail.com
It appears to be everyone elses wish... but I would take with me a steamer trunk full of books! :) Maybe we could all get stuck on the same island and share all of our books.... :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing, adorable package! Super exciting! :D
thereisbeautiful@gmail.com
I love this idea! Do you love sending or receiving 'just because' gifts? Both are exciting!
ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck on a deserted island I would have to have an endless supply of iced tea! It is so refreshing on a hot day!
What an awesome giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteIf I were on a deserted island I'd have to have my art supplies.
sarah.is.neat@gmail.com
i would need my moleskine&pen combo. i could keep myself occupied and keep myself cool (by using it as a fan). my world would crumble without it!

i would have to have my golden retriever with me. she would love to have nothing but beach to play on, and it would keep endlessly entertained.

ReplyDeletehmmm...if i were stuck on a desert island i would have to have my drawing pad and a pencil.....and i pencil sharpener depending on how long i'd have to stay :)

What a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIf I were stranded, I should love to have a laptop computer with satellite internet.
As a person with agoraphobia, much of my life IS like being stranded on a deserted island, and the internet is my world. I find inspiration and friendships, new ideas and information.
heidig@gmail.com
Love the whole little package!
ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck on a deserted island, I'd hopefully have an instruction manual about how to get off the island.
Otherwise, since I'm working on my dissertation, I would just want a solar-powered, water-and-sand proof computer with all of my books digitally stored on it so that I could just get it over with already and write it! What concentration!
Oh my gosh Oh my gosh Oh my gosh!!!! I am so excited about this giveaway!!! What a lovely little package. Xenia can inspire some amazing things, huh??
ReplyDeleteOK, let's see... for a desert island... I would absolutely take a huge awesome journal/sketchbook/scrapbook and various pens (that somehow have an infinite supply of ink).
What a beautiful package full of beautiful things!! I'd love to win this!! What I'd choose to bring to a desert island, would be my family photo album. I'd miss my little family so much :)
ReplyDeletelisabradford101@gmail.com
You are the sweetest for doing a giveaway with all your favorites.
ReplyDeleteummmm, can I say the internet?
Enter me pleeeease.
This giveaway is absolutely my fave. I wishing for everything in your lovely package.
ReplyDeleteOh no, the dreaded desert island question. My first instinct is to say a supply of good food but when I really think about it sun screen or tampons would be a good choice too.
Oh wow, what a fab giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIf I was stranded on desert island, I would HAVE to have...my husband! After that, probably my mascara or some scrapbook paper ;)
Ooh, this is a hard question. Good thinking question though, because it makes me wonder, "Does lip gloss really mean that much to me?" So I'll just say I'd need my mascara :)
ReplyDeleteFun giveway! Good luck gals.
Well, I would like to say that if I was stuck on a desert island I would have to have my husband with me, but he's not really a "something" is he? So after that I'm pretty sure I would choose my Bible. I love to read and anyway, it would keep me sane.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this giveaway! Lace tape? Skeleton keys? What more could a girl ask for??
what a wonderful idea!...im a redhead so id have to say 80 spf sunblock...hehe
ReplyDeleteHi! :] I would LOVE to have probably a toilet because I just can't see myself popping a squat. lol No but I would really like some books to read...That's how I would pass my time! :]
ReplyDeleteLove the giveaways!!!
amandamichelle_smith@yahoo.com
If I were on a desert island, I would want sunscreen and lip balm!
ReplyDeletejust a good pair of shoes...how could I explore the island in the heels I wear to work?

ReplyDeletexoxo,

If I was stuck on a desert island I would have to have sunblock. I wouldn't last a day without sunblock and lots of it. Plus, there has to be some nutritional value in sunblock... right?
ReplyDeletei love the way you packaged this! everything looks so amazing!
ReplyDeleteIf I was stuck I'd love to have books to read. I'd love a stack of books I hadn't read yet, especially chick lit! :)
ReplyDeleteI would have to have my 3 stuffed animals, my camera and my bf. :)

I'd want my 11 month old nugget with me-she makes everything delightful!

ReplyDeletei would have to have my husband! is that allowed? it seems like cheating...
ReplyDeletealso, this site is so pretty and it makes me smile.
OOoh dear!
ReplyDeleteSuch prettiness.... <3
I would definitely need a notebook (or just pieces of paper) to write on when on a lonely island. :)
LOVE this post, dear!

If I were stuck on a desert island I would definitely want my laptop with me (preferably with internet access). Even if I couldn't get internet, though, all my music and pictures are on there, plus I could write down my thoughts/experiences or even record myself on my laptop's webcam. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, so assuming I am stranded and therefore basically screwed, I won't ask for anything practical (like clean water, sunscreen, a ham radio, etc). Gimme a big vat of dirty martinis with about a gajillion blue cheese stuffed olives in it. If I;m gonna die of exposure and/or malnutrition, might as well make a party of it. ;)
ReplyDeletei would need to have something to easily open coconuts with! food, drink, fluffy pillows & fiber arts!
ReplyDeletebeautiful giveaway!
A great book. Preferably a really long one!
ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck in a deserted island I would absolutely have to have my journal and different colored pens to wile away the time. Thank you so much for the giveaway! Totally love the envelope book that is so cool what you did. What an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWow, these giveaways are getting intense! Beautiful package of goodies!
ReplyDeleteStranded on an island..hmm. I would bring....
A boat? haha.
Just Music.
My music has always gotten me through
every up and down, so I guess if I was stranded it would be the best thing!!
If I were stranded I'd need a boat or helicopter because there's no way I'd survive on an island.
ReplyDeleteneonemulsion@gmail.com
so generous of you! :)
ReplyDeletesince it has to be a thing, i would like to have a nice cold bottle of coke zero.
mmm mmm good.
Oh my oh my Danni this is the most gorgeous giveaway. Plus I love the list too.
ReplyDeleteI would have to have a journal and pen so I can write my adventures down and keep track of everything that happens. Plus I can write letters and sketch and all sorts of things =)
hello! I love this idea of sharing your favorite things!
ReplyDeleteI would take a great pair of sunglasses. There is nothing worse than not seeing well because of the sun!
Wonderful gifts!! I would have to take my laptop with me (assuming a solar powered charger comes with it :) )
ReplyDeleteWell I would like a water purifier, haha!
ReplyDeletewow, that is a perfect prize pack!
ReplyDeleteif i was stuck on a desert island, i'd have to have my hubby with me...not a "thing" of course but that's what I'd want with me!
Thanks for the chance!
{ Lindsey }
Ohh these are wonderful! I would bring my polaroid camera [and of course, lots of 600 film]! Think of the beautiful moments you could capture (:
ReplyDeleteYou are too delightful! I love the photos + your list is so cute! For me it would have to be my favorite book -- which changes all the time, so of course it'd be a magical book that could change into anything I wanted. OR, I'm so behind technologically, I guess that'd be a Kindle! Except what if the battery ran down, or would I have electricity? A-hem, sorry for the ramblings :) Mmm, pretty tape, that's my fave :)
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh - this is such a fantastic giveaway - very unique and creative, and I'd just die for that little notebook!
ReplyDeleteWould it be cheating to say I'd absolutely have to have a small plane full of my close family, friends, boyfriend, and cats? The plane wouldn't have to actually work - I wouldn't want to cheat too badly! ;)

What a lovely week this is! If I were stranded on an island, I'd have to have my baby! We'd manage everything else :)
ReplyDeletetweetheartwallart@gmail.com
this is a hard one!!
ReplyDeletethere are so many items i want to say i would absolutely need.... but i think i would HAVE to have a friend to explore with. a deserted island would be incredibly gorgeous and i would need someone to share the beauty with.
a camera would also be nice... :)
Hard to choose - since there aren't many items I feel I need to have with me at any moment, but probably a notebook/pen... because I always want to write things down. :)

Ummmm, if I were stuck on an island I would take.... my husband! It´s the best way to have a romantic holidays!

hello...what a sweet giveaway. I would have to say that I would have to take my boyfriend with me. Not that Im a girly girl but I would need someone to help me out with building fires by rubbing sticks together and building a shack with a thatched roof :)

I'd like to have my family with me. Can't live without them!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful giveaway. Thanks!
this is the cutest package ever! I'm serious :)
ReplyDeletewhat I would have to have if I were on a desert island? hmm if I were practical I'd say water, lol, but I really prefer a book (I'm pretty sure I'd be beating myself with it after spending a couple of days without water but oh, well..)
have a lovely weekend, dear! xo

Stuck on a desert island? Eek, I want my mommy!!! ...Ok, just kidding. My camera for taking pretty pictures in grand privacy, of course! :)
ReplyDeleteIf people don't count, I would take a photo of my partner and 2.5 month old. Seeing their beautiful faces would keep me sane and smiling even if they weren't near.

Oooh! It might be cliche, but, I'd need my dad! Sure personality wise, we'd drive each other up the wall, but he's the only person I know who would know how to survive!
ReplyDeletep.s. this is the world's loveliest package!

I would take my boyfriend I guess :D

ReplyDeleteI think I would love to have my camera, but a tool set would be way more useful (to construct a hut or a canoe...)
ReplyDeleteVery nice giveway, I love it!!

If I were stuck on an island, I would definitely have to pack some sort of sunscreen/lip balm hybrid multi-use product. But since I know of none out right now, it would have to be a sleeping bag. If I'm going to be there for a while, I might as well be somewhat comfortable! I could use it for shelter, burn the stuffing inside, rip it up for clothing, etc.
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable package! You are so sweet to your blog readers.
ReplyDeleteIf I were stuck on a desert island I would definitely need my partner in crime/other half with me. I'm a hopeless romantic so being stuck on a desert island with him sounds wonderful!

there are so so many things I would want with me on a desert island. but rather than list something practical, like water and sunblock, I am going to say I would want to have a towering stack of magazines! what's better than flipping through the pages of a glossy magazine while lying on the beach?! it would be perfect because lately I feel like I am too busy to sit down and actually read all the magazines I subscribe to or feel compelled to buy while in line at the grocery store... :) p.s. that package is so adorable, I hope I win! hehe
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a blank notebook and tons of writing implements so I can fill the notebook with my thoughts and drawings. I want to know what will come out of my head when I've really got nothing else to do or mind because, hello, I'm stuck on a deserted island!
ReplyDeleteI think il have to go with an ipod. Id pack it with movies, sex and the city re-runs and all my favourite music to keep me occupied although if i knew i would only be stranded for a few days id take a really good book!
ReplyDeletemakedoandsend@aol.com
Having recently watched Castaway I'm going to boring but alive at the end of my island ordeal!
ReplyDeleteI'd take swiss army knife/ lighter/ toothbrush/ toothpaste combo.
& maybe a friend for company...and possisbly sacrifice if things got desperate
what an amazing and beautiful giveaway! I just had to enter.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd bring my striped hammock. I could sleep in it, dream in it, hide from the sun under it or use it to attract attention from ships. Sounds like a neat holiday to me. :)
What a gorgeous giveaway - I would bring my duck feather pillow with nice cotton coverslip! Gillian
ReplyDeleteif i was stuck on a desert islandd i would bring sewing stuff to make some pretty clothes (: i can't actually sew but it would be a great place to learn. also some people to keep me company. my email is sammy4svt@hotmail.com .. p.s what a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteoh, what a lovely givaway again, and if i was stick on a desert island i would have to have my camera to take beautiful photos ♥

It would brighten up anyone's day to receive such a lovely package.If I was stuck on an island I would like a good survival guide and something to write with. I could then draw or write over pages I had already read.
ReplyDeletetheleslies@btinternet.com
Wow you're such a lovely spirit, everything you do seems to be touched with a few drops of magic and whimsy.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I always dreaded this question at quizzes and tests because I have absolutely no idea! All I can hope is never to be stuck on an island... But maybe I would bring my kitty, she can catch birds for me to eat. Oh no, I'm vegetarian. Ah, I have no clue!

Hi, what a fantastic bunch of things you put together there:)
ReplyDeleteI would have to go with my boyfriend. If there was plenty of drinking water that is;) If I could only bring a dead object I would probably bring a pair of scissors or a knife...and then go bananas on some of the vegetation and flora on the island in order to build a little hut:)
wow, what a generous give away! I think what I would need on an island is drinking water. Lame, but necessary!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

what a generous giveaway! it looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSince my laptop wouldn't have service or keep battery power for long, I'd have to have a sketchbook/journal and a good pencil.
What a lovely giveaway! If I were stuck on a desert island, I would want my camera with me!
ReplyDeletesuch a special giveaway! i love the idea of giving away some of your favorite things.
ReplyDeletei'd want a book with me on the island. maybe one by alice munro. i never get tired of her.
I'd take my camera and sunscreen! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great package of goodies! I would want my daughter and grandson with me; but only if there was a reliable food source and water for survival. Maybe a journal so that when it was found, it would be so interesting that it would have to be published immediately...csl
ReplyDeleteHow nice!
ReplyDeleteI would want my Ipod (with unlimited battery ^^)
Thanks a lot!
My husband!
ReplyDeleteI don't have to even think about this. If I were stuck on an island, I would need my DAB radio, I'd go insane without it ;o)
