Were to begin...

My gifts arrived in a seemingly unsuspecting package. The first thing I noticed was the customs label was from Hawaii, USA and immediately started to lose my shit.

I opened the package and to my amazement there was a Sony iPod dock. My first thought was "I thought these were made in Japan?" My bad this was just packaging.

In the box and inside was a plethora of Hawaiian goodies.

Including (in no particular order):

A Hawaiian shirt, which is completely awesome and fits a treat.

A super cool hand crafted bamboo lamp, that has turtles on it.

A nightlight, made from a shell and has a beautiful Hawaiian sunset image carved into it.

Hawaiian jellies, a mixture of fruit jellies/jams, really excited to try these, not sure what to have them with/on, will have to research this.

No home is complete without a ukulele bottle opener.

A pineapple and cilantro (or coriander if you prefer) scented candle, probably the nicest thing I've ever smelled.

A coconut candy bowl, complete with roasted macadamia nuts, which were delicious.

Finally, a bag of candy, made from dried plum skin, I cannot wait to devour these.

This exchange has been fantastic, both giving and receiving.

To my Hometown Exchange gifter, whoever you are - Mahalo nui loa.

I can't begin to convey my gratitude for the wonderful gifts you sent me. They really are great. I am overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness.
