One of the biggest surprises for me when I first joined Twitter two years ago was how many truly lovely people I met. I’ve told the story several times that I resisted joining social media as the editors in my city used it to show how fabulous they were. It came across to me as bragging and I didn’t want anything to do with that. Thankfully my friend Heather convinced me to join and I was immediately taken on how many great people are on Twitter. I met Nina Westbury (@ninawmakeup) on Twitter when she won one of my contests. She gave me the wrong address to her house twice!! I discovered the Bridgette Jones of Beauty through social media. She’s become such a dear friend. She makes me laugh so hard with her misadventures and the stories she makes up about me. My favourite was when she told everyone I insisted her son play the harp at our events. There are so many others I’ve met. It would take pages to list them all. But I’m so grateful to have met each of you.
There were so many people who shared their incredible stories below. If you get a chance, read through them. They’re heartwarming. Everyone had a great story. I drew from all entries below and Stacy Bauer from the U.S. was the winner. Big thanks to all who entered!

April 24, 2015 at 9:56 amPersonally I haven’t met anyone who isn’t nice on Twitter, but when we were watching The Voice this week, we heard some people were not nice about a contestant, which made us sad!
If you can’t say anything nice about someone, you shouldn’t say anything!

April 24, 2015 at 9:53 amI’ve always maintained that ‘our’ Dave Lackie is the nicest person on twitter-he has time for everyone, politely answers tweets when able and takes a genuine pride in what he does and who he helps..wish there was Twitter award for him! But..other than Dave-my daft mate @ElaBluEyes (Ellie Lane)..sometimes grumpy about the weather and her wet washing but always funny and downright good hearted!..Hope she doesn’t see this!;-)

April 24, 2015 at 9:48 amI think Dave Lackie is the nicest ‘beauty’ person on the internet. Not only does he lift up every person on his twitter list with the wonderful giveaways, he takes time to get to know everyone and answer all the questions that come his way. Good on ya, Dave, and thanks a lot. And next I think @bcgirll is just wonderful! Friends are to be treasured.

April 24, 2015 at 9:23 am@Jmh101377 Jessica is really the nicest person that I have met on twitter. She is always there to support and we have chatted on facebook too.
But honestly, Mr. Dave you are the #1 nicest twitter brand personality that there is. You always go above and beyond to care for your followers. We aren’t just a number to you. We are people! It helps that you give out prizes too but you do it so graciously and always with great intentions. Your job is to share new brands and products with customers and I know that you do this with a smile. ALWAYS. You rock Mr. Lackie! Keep on smiling and being personable. <3 @clallen1971

April 24, 2015 at 9:19 amThe nicest person I met on Twitter is @jett2whit because she is always sweet and in a great mood. She’s always lifting my spirits when I’m down. We have become great friends in a short time. She deserves a beautiful gift like this as she is always giving. Now she deserves to receive and this would go great with her lifestyle of looking beautiful on the outside like her beauty is inside.
