November SS-

[crazycanuck]

Hey Lisa-I normally send a bit extra as i'm sending it overseas & want to make it special. People don't get tim tams & other items from Western Australia everyday!

I try to limit the items but sometimes it's hard as i want to ensure someone out there appreciates the package!

It's a bit like ultrasound when you're pregnant. You sort of want to know and you sort of want to be surprised.
(What is the point of all that birth if you know what/who is coming?)

My Oct SS I still haven't figured but to know someone comes from a place called Silver Spring has enough of a "wow!" factor.When my Nov ss uforgot posted the picture of my wee prezzie I was just blown away. And my Aug ss re-sent a tea-pot that got broken in the post.
It is impossible to remain a-nony-mouse when you are the only one in your country. Right iFKA? CWR? But that is ok too because it has a certain cachet - pretty stamps, exotic things.
I like to tell people a bit about me and where I live. I think the "secret" is when you get her name and then when she gets your parcel. Then she opens it and thinks "Oh, so that's who she is" - again a bit like having a baby.

Total : $0.02

So after all the recent postings on this thread, I had forgotten about my SS gift.

Then this morning, the postman produces this rather big box. Let me just mention the WOW factor was at it's highest! My boyfriend was in another room and kept asking me what all the 'oooooing and ahhhhing was all for!

Everything was smashing but why is it always silly things that we love so much. One of the items was a tacky glitzy little snowstorm scene of Las Vegas but I genuinely love it, it really is so cute. My SS also popped in two chips from a casino in Las Vegas, one of these will now bring me good luck wherever I go!

My Christmas tree will look great when I hang my lovely pewter bike on it, so unusual.

The coolest thing I have seen that came all packed in it's own small tin was Mountain Bike Joe Bender, this awesome little figure that is magnetic, I have mine positioned so he is doing a wheelie.

I could not mention everything cos others might get a bit fed up with me going on, so I had to attach these pics, unfortunately I was unable to use PaintShop Pro, seems to be a problem, so I could not crop these pics:





I knew my SS came from San Jose because of the Customs Declaration, so now I had to search Team Estrogen postings!

I think I have come up with the right person SNAPDRAGEN?

Just want to say the biggest thank you for all my lovely pressies, even the way everything was wrapped in the red and green tissue paper.

Sally .....goes off to hide cute Snowmen marshmallows. Yum!

PS You see for me the fascination is looking on the internet about where SS comes from, have now decided San Jose looks a very cool place to live

Sally, awesome package! The wheelie guy is cool.

I'm still trying to figure mine out. Mtkitchn or Runny Mom, is it either of you? I'm still trying to figure out what the peppermint fortune cookie soap is for and I need help. (yeah, I know I need help, but be gentle ).

Oh Sally! I am so happy for you. Now just let me share your luck (crossing fingers)

Busted! Glad you liked the box 'o stuff!

Here are my goodies all the way from NZ!

The yellow thing is a magic towel, I have yet to open it. I probably will today, I love those things. It has been to cold and too busy for me to enjoy a ride and use the other goodies.


And here is my adorable Kiwi enjoying a spot on my tree.

Thank you xrayted for all the goodies!! The blinkie lights are already being put to use on my daily commutes, even when I'm not riding in traffic. And the huge box of sour patch kids arrived today! A gigantic box of legal crack! Should keep me going for miles and miles!

Thank you!!!

[Xrayted]

You are quite welcome Eli. I only figured out the candy. They are a personal favorite of mine as well. I like to smuggle them into the movies and have them with my popcorn. Great combination or sour, sweet, salty and buttery all in one mouthful. Mmmmm.
Your Auntie Trek helped me out with the blinkies. It's her you should thank. She cares for you very deeply and wanted to keep you as safe as possible. Hope they work out on your ALC6 ride coming up. Trek mentioned to get some that you can also easily clip to your tent so you can find it again in the dark. Right smart woman there. I took a cue from Denise Goldberg and picked these out. Another right smart woman.

Glad you liked the packages. I had so much fun doing this and I ended up getting to know a few people better through it too. Bonus for me.

So... Thank you Eli!!
