A few years ago, I earned the Get-Away trip to Washington DC for two through Stampin’ Up! Dave and I were there for 3 days and it was a great trip. While there, all of us demonstrators were pampered by Stampin’ Up! so when I earned the trip to Phuket, Thailand, I knew a little bit what to expect. So Dave and I departed on July 7th and the first night of our arrival, an exotic fruit basket appeared in our room:

The following day was the debut of our 5-day week full of activities. Each day as we departed for our excursions, meals, beach time, or whatever we wanted to do, we always arrived back to a nightly “Pillow Gift” on our bed. It was so neat to find something there each night such as this package on Monday:

Another on Tuesday…..

It continued on to Wednesday….

Thursday’s Pillow Gift….

And Friday too!

I can’t show you what is in these pillow gifts because most of them contained products from the new upcoming Holiday Catalog….we’ve been sworn to secrecy!
The small box you see below though, I can show you. These boxes were given to us on our last night at our grand reception. We all arrived by bus to Thai food banquet style, Thai music, Thai elephants, Thai coconut drinks and Thai vendors that sold souvenirs. As the event was in the final minutes and we started boarding the buses to go back to the resort, we were given these small boxes:

This is what was inside, a gold elephant necklace….so cute!

This is what was inside our pillow gifts that same night. Dave claimed that the purple elephant was for him so I let him take credit for that one. The yellow box was intriguing…..

And this is what I found inside. I love that the inside of the lid was customized with our Stampin’ Up! logo. How neat is that?

I also love the colors on this 2-piece container that was heavily protected on the inside of the box. It traveled with me for 21 hours back home. I actually added more padding on the inside for travel purposes so it wouldn’t break!

Isn’t it pretty? The colors are beautiful and the gold accents are fabulous!

It’s even hand-painted in Thailand:

So how would you like to earn a trip just like I did? I’ve earned my way to Alask next year and we just found out that the Incentive Trip for 2019 will be in the Greek Isles!

Now is the perfect time to join Stampin’ Up! We have one of the best promotions running for the whole month of July. If you join now, you’ll receive all of these products for free:



Gorgeous – thanks for sharing them, Debbie!
How fun to get a pillow present every evening. That box ornament is so awesome! I love to read about people's vacations and trips and think how fun that would be. Then I sit back and remember. I hate to go places. Dorothy was right–there's no place like home. LOL! I'll travel thru you.
