Perhaps there is still some hope for some of us to get their gifts yet after all.

Oh my word, they weren't kidding about it being liquor filled. That stuff is strong! We don't have these here - liquor is just flavoured syrup with a tiny bit of booze...

 

[Veho]

Finally!

Candy and a small little house figure. (Are these traditional in Croatia?)

Little housies like that one are souvenirs here (also, I collect little housies), and this one looks almost exactly like my grandparents' house in Dalmatia (give or take a few windows). It's an old stone house in a style typical of Croatian/Mediterranean coast towns.

The candies are the candies of my youth, it's what I grew up eating (yes, including the liquor ones ). The green ones are some herbal mixture, the brown ones are coffee flavored. I'm sorry they got crushed

Thank you! They arrived at a perfect time, I was actually craving some sweets!

I hope the bento box is getting good use?

Ohwell.

Spoiler

[DinohScene]

Awesome!
Ahah no probs ;]

See? The gifts sent to other countries have got there, but a package sent inside the USA hasn't seen the light of day. I'm almost worried Devin gave us typoed addresses by mistake.

 

[431unknown]

I don't know if I'd buy that... I guess it's possible. Anyway I'm just going to list what I had sent for my gift. It was 2 M&M characters in Xmas outfits filled with candy and some marshmallow Xmas candies made buy a local candy company. Actually the M&M candy maybe local too they have a plant less than 10 miles from my house.

 

[exangel]

I sent some snacks (to a European recipient): Beef Jerky, Rice Crispies Treats, and a Mexican tamarind-pulp candy dispenser -- and a 4gb mini flash drive with a selection of music on it.

Under the circumstances of the holiday season. (Although I specifically told everyone to ship early.) Those people who shipped internationally will be have a extended time frame for their gifts to arrive. astrangeone's gift arrived later than expected, but it was shipped internationally. Hence the new time frame for international shipping. Those who shipped within the United State however do not have an excuse. Prepare to die, or uh. Get a severe talking to, and extremely bad feedback in the trading forum.

P.S. Those who haven't been responding to my PMs will be dealt with as well.

Oooh, this got me interested ^^ How strong are they? (alcohol percentage is usually written on the packaging)

Just 4%, but they tasted pretty strong. (I wasn't drunk, it's just unexpected in a candy!) Also, they are pretty tasty....the next time I'm at an international market, I'd grab these over anything else!

I'll trade you for some Trutles or True North almond pecan crunch

We could establish a trans-Atlantic candy trade

That's quite much indeed sounds tasty
I had some duc d'O chocolates this christmas, they're 5.8% but doesn't taste that strong... no cherries in them though.
Try them out if you haven't yet :3

 

[BenRK]

I sit and wait, the one left out.

 

[BenRK]

Been about a month. Got nothing. Great first impression of this secret santa shit.

 

[431unknown]

Hey I didn't get anything in return either not that it really matters at this point. Pretty much after January 2nd came a went I didn't expect to get anything at all.
