So I actually received my gift last Friday, a little late posting.

This was my favorite exchange this time around. I really looked forward to learning something about a city somewhere far away, and I wasn't disappointed!

My santa sent me a box packed with cultural gifts from Bristol, UK!

Everything was inside a Gromit box, (Wallace and Gromit, the UK's biggest entertainment export after the Mighty Boosh, was animated or claymated right in Bristol) containing a sweet collectible Gromit statue (heavy and awesome and resting on my desk!).

I also received a magnet and handwritten card both designed by a local artist (I nearly threw the letter away because it was cleverly disguised as just an address card on the outside of the package. :))

Lastly, I received a music CD from an artist from Bristol called Portishead.

Excellent exchange; thank you very much! I think Bristol must be an exciting place to live.
