To the best secret santa from the worst present thank-er. only 4 months late. What's going on over there? What's in the box? What's in the box?

Apr 5, 2018 11:51 AM

I received the best Secret Santa present and at the same time started the process of moving country and so this write up got so delayed and @EllenVanThom I am so sorry for that! This gift was awesome. So, after a short 4 month wait, here it is....what's in the box? First things first, the electrical engineers LOVED that the box was ESD safe, now to dive in

First impressions, these multicolored peanut packers are so ridiculously fun and since I opened this in my office then went everywhere like a mini ball pit!

Teasing you in, first items found are..

Earing!! These are so sweet! Obviously Imgur Giraffes and then calculator and computer since I'm an engineer, so far so great!

I'm stretching the Christmas selfie acceptance to post this quarter-selfie - I hope that doesn't break the rules. But needed to show these on, so so cool. Wore them to Julebord that night.

Back into the peanut packer ball pit and discovered these next...floppy disk coasters!! Very much in need as I have cropped these images carefully to avoid the messy desk I'm opening the box on!

#arty window views in December

Next up the letter, but I did as the internet stranger says and waited until the end for this one

And then, we reached the chocolate. Oh my. So overwhelmingly ideal, some familiar faces but a whole load of new treats to try! Christmas body was a happy body.

Now back to that letter! Explanation of each present and what each chocolate is with personal recommendations :D some of the chocolate was from East Germany and some from West

I'll end on a picture of the technique for eating the Butter-Schoko-Spekulatius as guided in the letter. 1) Make hot chocolate 2) Dip it in until it falls in the hot chocolate 3) Take it out and eat with with a spoon. No more photos after, I was enjoying this too much. It was freaking delicious! This is why you follow random internet stranger instructions! Thank you so much @EllenVanThom for such a thoughtful and creative present. Sorry it's taken until April to say thank you.

Excuse me? East and west berlin? These chocolates either are really old or lenin came back with the wall

MAKG, I know it well. I'm part of the Kinder Egg Alliance (KEA), and we regularly go to war in the deep underground.

The law prohibiting them in the US was written about 30 years before the Kinder eggs were first made.

They are different. Half the egg is a plastic toy holder, the other half is chocolate. No way for dumb Americans to fuck this up!
