Thank you hamsterwoman!

[deeplyunhip]

Just got back from a small Christmas trip to see various members of Anders's family while staying at his mom's house. A ridiculous amount of food was eaten, a ridiculous amount of drinks were drunk, and lots of gifting went on. Though I came home to a very lovely surprise gift too - Anna aka hamsterwoman had messaged me because she "saw something" that made me think of me, but I guess her awesomeness and generosity overpowered her because an epic package ensued!




There were great smells to be found!


Plus a really nice card, guinea pig socks (that I am wearing right now because of course), guinea pig treats/toys for Pixel, and a cheese ornament I never knew I needed but I definitively do.


Endless chocolate also appeared.


And there was a cool Marauder's map scarf as well as dog toys for Fiddle - he really likes this one!




Thanks so much, Anna - this was a lovely surprise to see after a tough year and your friendship is forever appreciated. <333

Awwwww, how awesome! That cheese ornament...I need one!

How'd I miss this post? :/ (Actually, I think I know how -- the LJ app has been increasingly buggy and unreliable, and I should just stop counting on it entirely.)

But anyway, I'm very glad the package got to you! I was worried that it's around-Christmas arrival would mean it got stranded somewhere so yay for it waiting for you!

As you can probably guess, the cheese ornament and the guinea pig socks were the things that made me think of you that I couldn't resist inserting into your life :)

(BTW, I think I forgot to mention it in the card, but the mysterious cheese thing that's not an ornament is a 3D printed cheese block. The guy I got it from at the work craft fair couldn't explain what it was for/why he'd made it, but I was charmed by the existence of 3D printed cheese, and felt like you were the person who would most appreciate knowing about its existence also. It's probably too light for a paperweight, but hopefully you can find some use for it. Maybe play food for a future child if nothing more short term :P)

You are (belatedly) very welcome, and if it helped brighten a really tough year at the end, I'm very happy about that.
