I was only in Brownies for two years, but the thing that I remember most fondly about the experience (besides having firsthand access to Samoas and Thin Mints during the cookie sale, of course) was the holiday grab bag that we did each year.
Everyone would bring in a gift that fell under a certain price limit, and our troop leader would collect them in a giant garbage bag. I’m not quite sure how we decided the order in which we picked, but we’d each get a turn reaching into the bag and pulling out one of the packages. Sure, it was a total crapshoot – you could wind up with something really cool like Ballerina Barbie or something not so cool like a Chia Pet (which actually happened to one of my friends) – but I loved the excitement and anticipation, not knowing what possible treasure you might come away with.
So when I saw that Beauty Ticket, a website that offers high end beauty brands at discounted prices, was having a sale where you could get 5 mystery prestige items for $10 – essentially a kind of grab bag – I had to take advantage. Twice. I got two bags for a total of $20 with an extra $6.95 for shipping and handling to give me 10 items for $26.95.
