This brings me to a swap we decided to do. Since we’ve never been to each others hometowns, we decided to bring a little of that to each other and did a city swap. It was so fun shopping my own city to get a package together for her and receiving fun souvenirs in return from L.A.
Here is what I got:
Pretty postcard of the L.A. skyline with a nice note on the back
Hollywood magnet
Hollywood mints called “Hollywood Hottie Cinnamints”
Hollywood star keychain
California book that has the cities and sights that are a must-see. There are some beautiful photos in it and I look forward to reading the whole thing.
Hollywood mug that’s super cute. I’ll be enjoying many large cups of coffee out of it!
Mix CD that was so creative. It’s easy to forget how many songs are about California until you see them all together. This will be a perfect driving mix!
Track listing:
1. Just A Girl – No Doubt
2. The River – Good Charlotte
3. California Gurls – Katy Perry
4. Party in the USA – Miley Cyrus
5. California – Phantom Planet (this song reminds me of The O.C…loved that show!)
6. All I Wanna Do – Sheryl Crow
7. Hotel California – The Eagles
8. Corona & Lime – Shwayze
9. Free Falling – John Mayer
10. Wake Up – Hillary Duff
11. California Love – 2Pac & Dr. Dre
12. Going Back To Cali – Biggie
13. Beverly Hills – Weezer
14. California Dreamin’ – The Mamas and The Papas
15. Santa Monica – Everclear
16. Californicaton – Red Hot Chili Peppers
17. Hollywood Nights – Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
18. Walking in L.A. – Missing Persons
19. California Sun – The Ramones

how fun!!! I love a good swap.
What a fabulous package and a great idea!!! The mix CD she sent is too fun!!!
What a fun idea!!
When my twin moved to LA, I made her a CD with songs that have references to California so that she could listen to it on the way out there. There are plenty of good Cali songs!
You ladies both did a great job with your swaps. And a mix CD? Love it!
What adorable goodies you got! Meg's pics from her LA trip really made we want to plan a trip out west!
How fun! LOVE your playlist.
That is an awesome cd mix...I'm adding a few of those songs to my iTunes cart now!
I may have you send me a Philly care package! That was awesome!
Yay! I have the song list! I completely forgot to list it out for you and I was regretting it after the package was sent. The first song, by the way, was added just becuase Gwen is THE California Girl. I was born in Anaheim and she actually went to high school on the same street I lived on (or so my mom says ;).
I am bummed becuase I thought of a few more things. I'll have to send them to you later :)
