Oooh that sounds like a great gift!

I bet your person was really pleased with it all.

I RECIEVED MY GIFT TODAY!! YAY!

My Secret Santa was Calgal

Thanks so much for the wonderful gifts, I know I'm going to get great use out of the dog stuff.

I recieved an adorable card addressed to Harley and Abby, a really neat 'car seat organiser' to put in the car and store toys/treats and other things in (it hangs off the back of one of the front seats), and a doggie travel food bowl. I also got a big packet of Reese's Peanut Butter Pieces and a packet of Reese's Peanut Butter Bites! Ahh, I really had to tempt myself not to open the packets and eat any before I took the photos!

Mmm they look so tempting! We don't have those in Australia (only the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which are hard to come across). I know what I'm having for desert tonight!

Thanks again, Calgal!

That stuff looks awesome Swiftwind - luck you getting a late Christmas pressie!

***Cassiepeia*** · 01-17-2007, 03:36 AM

That's wonderful Swiftwind!!! I'm so happy, and Calgal will be too, that it finally arrived!

We thought for sure it would be lost in the post. What a relief.

Cass.

***Swiftwind*** · 01-17-2007, 03:38 AM

Oh yeah, it was such a surprise to see the package sitting there near my front door when I got home tonight!

I actually nearly missed it because it was tucked out of sight on our porch, behind a plant, but something just told me to look there.

I really can't wait to use all the travelling gear - I just need to plan a road trip!

The little Reece's Bites were soooo melted when I took them out of the packaging (no wonder, being in there for so long!) and I put it in the fridge and now it's frozen into a block of delicious peanut butter and chocolate! Mmmm! The Reece's Pieces are surprisingly fine, though.

Cass, Donna (Calgal) had sent her package on the 6th of November.. it did take quite a while to get here, but it was worth the wait! Quarantine had opened the package and inspected it, as I thought they would (I'm not sure if it's a requirement for them to do so, or only if they find something 'suspicious looking' when they xray the package).

Awesome gifts!

And yes, Calgal will be so happy they finally arrived! I think she was starting to worry that something had happened to them.

And what's to plan? Get in the car and go!! HAHA I'd be finding an excuse just to go somewhere to use the travel gear, just up and go.

***Swiftwind*** · 01-17-2007, 03:50 AM

Well, there's an annoying thing called work!

I might plan to go somewhere over the long weekend (next weekend), if I can persuade my mum! It's definitely more incentive for me to get my driver's license.

***Cassiepeia*** · 01-17-2007, 04:00 AM

Customs opened the package that Justin (Maziedog) sent me too, I think it's just standard practice now. Don't you just LOVE the Reece's??

I want to open a shop down here that sells nothing but Reese's products.

Cass.

***Swiftwind*** · 01-17-2007, 04:05 AM

Oh yeah, Reece's chocolates are SOOOO yummy!!

They should make chocolate biscuits with reece's bites in them. Mmm that would be good!

Cass, if you did open that shop I'd be there all the time!

calgal · 01-17-2007, 10:10 AM

I just got your pm and flew right over here to read your post. YES, what a major relief!!!WEW! I sent you another package yesterday of three collars and two more bags of reece's peices. This time I paid the $20.00 to have it flown over, so you will get that in 4 to 7 days....well maybe 2 to 5 now since I mailed it yesterday. I'm sorry you had to wait so long to get your Christmas gift though. I felt so bad for you being left out of the loop like that. I was really starting to thing the gift was "gift-napped".

D.Schäferhund · 01-17-2007, 10:14 AM

Wow better late than never!!!
that is such a pretty gift!!!
And that card....
awwww....

***Swiftwind*** · 01-18-2007, 11:01 PM

Yeah, the card is really cute, and it has a funny poem inside of it! When I get home I'll tell you what it says.
