I was told in a message that I am difficult to shop for... which I know full well, having been doing it for about 24 years.

I was therefore very impressed, and so chuffed to receive this box filled with bits and bobs from my secret santa! I have never been to America but would love to, and owning things that were genuinely bought from real American shops makes me so excited!

I opened the box and was surprised to see it crammed with items, and as I dug deeper it seemed as though it all just kept coming.

I received:

A cuddly cow sporting a Texas tshirt Beyond Bizarre: Frightening facts and blood-curdling true tales book A Dallas skyline postcard Two single serve boxes of Lucky Charms A box of easy mac macaroni & cheese A box of wild blueberry & multigrain pancake & waffle mix Five different varieties of Pop Rocks A fun sized American Flag A bottle of Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce A bottle of grade A dark amber pure maple syrup A packet of Garbage Pail Kids sticker cards A pack of cinnamon flavoured Trident gum Issue #1 of Marvel Now Captain America Santa is coming to Texas picture book

I am so pleased with it all, what a wonderful start to my Christmas! And Alice the cat also enjoyed the festivities, especially meeting her new friend the cow... Thank you Reddit :)
