Things I'm not into

This bit always sounds so harsh! It would be lovely not to receive the following items:

things with moustaches, nail varnish, hair accessories, dangly earrings, knitting stuff, ribbons, black liquorice and blackcurrant and orange flavours, pencils, DVDs, things that are very bling and covered in diamontes, harry potter & sci fi stuff and any vampire or twilight stuff - I'm just not into it... Finally please do not send bath bombs and toiletries and such as I have sensitive skin and get rashes!

Here is a picture of llamas to cheer you up: Yay!

I'm totally new to swap-bot, so I hope that's enough information to get us started with :) If you would like to know anything else let me know!
