Okay, truth be told, I was writing off my gift this year as a no show, what with my not being retrieved until the last day, and the tracking number showing up as invalid.

Boy was I wrong! Came home from work today feeling a bit lousy (probably the flu that everyone's passing around), only to find this package with customs info from Sweden.

Inside was a small black box and inside that was a wonderful letter explaining all of the gifts, and that they were from actually from Johannesburg South Africa! Neat!

First up was a small magnet from Cape Town. My fridge is literally covered in magnets, so this will make a perfect addition!

Next was wonderful handmade ceramic mug/art piece from Papercake Trading. Love it! And inside was this cute little wire & bead rhino sculpture. I love making/crafting things, so both of these gifts are right up my alley!

Next was a "District 9" t-shirt, with the iconic "Don't feed the prawns" sign from the movie. I'll definitely be strutting around work wearing this soon!

Lastly was a small pack of Studded Peppermint flavored condoms called "Klopdisselboom", which as my santa explains is a euphemism for success. But Klop also means throb, and disselboom means the main shaft of an ox-wagon. A better name for a condom does not exist!

Thanks Santa(and wife!) These are all perfect gifts and you've restored my faith in the SS gift exchange. I'll definitely be participating again next year!
