I'm sorry the cat toys didn't make it through customs.Originally Posted by Dragoriana
1 pillow, 1 sachet, 1 cat toy, all with unknown filling. They said they couldn't open them. Probably meaning if they cut them open, they won't sew them back together to make them all prettyi was so looking forward to seeing if any other sort of catnip/honesuckle pouches would work on Charlie.
I'm surprised they didn't cup open the bag of bath milk! I can see all the wrapping paper was undone. Both of the kitty toy bag had been opened up, staples undone. The little squishy slinky toy had crushed broken plastic as if they opened that up too *cries* And i don't know if Wendy sealed up the envelope for my card, but that was open too.
What great gifts!Originally Posted by maddensmom
I came home a couple of days ago to finally find a box on my front porch!!
I'm so glad you finally got your package! But I'm sorry to hear they detained part of it. Those party poopers! I agree... they need to employ a cat nip sniffing cat!Originally Posted by Dragoriana

It couldn't have come at a better time either....I was having a really crappy day.I was very surprised when I opened the card on the top of the gifts and it said that it was from someone other than my SS since my gift apparently went to the gnomes.
To whoever sent this AMAZING SS gift (and I'm working on figuring you out) thank you from the bottom of my heart!! The gifts were wonderful, Madden and I are both very very spoiled!!
Here's what we got:
A cute stocking with "Kitty" on the front that was packed full of cat toys and an awesome safety collar. Madden was in hog heaven!! He carries around the peppermint stick toy like a baby!
A pair of super cool fuzzy blue socks!
A two year planner with a super cute puppy on the front (I REALLY needed this!! lol)
A hanging snowman that says "Its Snowtime" on the front! I want to hang him up now!!
A Super Kakuro Puzzle book, which is really cool.
Two bottles of Bath and Body Works lotion--a full sized bottle of Pear Blossom and a travel size bottle of Freshwater Cucumber. They both smell SO good!
A Yankee Candle "Swirl" Candle scented Cucumber, Cantelope, and Honeydew Melon which I've been burning since it got here--it makes me drool!!!
A Bar of Green & Blacks Organic Milk chocolate
An adorable set of three notepads.
An elephant dry erase board with matching magnets and notepad. The elephants are just too cute and the message board matches my kitchen perfectly!!
A little silver kitty ornament of the word "Meow". (Which Madden also thinks is a toy!)
A really cool stuffed elephant with magnets in his feet--this cracks me up because he looks like he's skiing down the front of the fridge! lol
A really beautiful ceramic white and blue elephant--so unique I love it!
And my favorite one of all -- a VERY heavy brass like elephant figurine that is just amazing! I fell in love with him the moment I unwrapped it! Just gorgeous!
I couldn't thank you enough, Madden and I were incredibly spoiled!
It was very generous of you to send us a gift, completely unnecessary but very much appreciated.
I know it's been a little while but i just had to update! When i tried to upload the pictures i took to post them at Christmas time, Colin's old camera had some pretty bad problems so we wound up having to put it in the shop to get it fixed. Between the wedding and moving into our new house things have been insane so we just recently got the old camera back. (haha after we bought a new one for the honeymoon!Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR

what do the customs doo?Originally Posted by pushylady
Oh that's the fun of it! Be warned about Australian customs though...

Great gifts, Nikki!
Hold it for a few months and in some cases remove some things that are not approved to send, but TCS takes that into account, so going to certain areas you know you need to send way ahead of time and you can read what not to send.
ooh that cool
ahh grrr!Originally Posted by fwan
Note to all members!
Please note that the postal fares have increased tremendously so plan carefully if you really want to send your package overseas this year.
Happy planning for xmas 2008!
