Tristan told me your package has just arrived! Though i won't get to open in for two more days. He said it had a 'quarantine, open immediately' sticker on it, and then a 'quarantine passed' sticker lol. Now someone else has unwrapped and seen my presents before me!!!
Hopefully i will tell you guys on Sunday or Monday when i get back home from his place what i got and take some pictures
Ok i just got to Tristans and opened my package. I got:
lavender/mint milk bath powder
an icky slinker toy
two pipe cleaner spiders
a wooden bookmark with a kitty cut out
black kitty springs
honeysuckle felt bow ties
BUT......i got a letter saying that THREE objects with unknown filling got detained and i didn't get them. I have to pay $42.50 if i want them gamma treated and sent to me or don't reply to them and they will destroy it a month from the letter.
After over 3 months I was excited, but i'm really p.od.
But thanks you very much Pushylady for your gifts.
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 pretty
i 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.
I'm glad you finally got most of your SS gifts...and it sounds like what you did get was great. It's such a bummer that they stopped the others, though.
Those Canadian customs guys can be so weird. A few years ago I had them stop two boxes of papers I had shipped up there for a meeting because they were "unknown contents". THey were, literally, full of paper copies. What could possibly be unknown about that?
Of course, we didn't find out where they were or why the boxes were stopped until weeks after the meeting was over, so they were no good to me then.
I came home a couple of days ago to finally find a box on my front porch!!
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.
