I sent my Colours gift to Australia and by some random matching my Colour gift came from Australia too!

I listed my favourite colour as “TARDIS Blue” and my Santa certainly lived up to that!

The box was well decorated in lots of blue hearts and Snoos – always a good sign I think :-) I opened to see it was stuffed full of gifts! It was beautifully wrap – in TARDIS blue too!

The note said I should open in the numbered order to “build up the excitement” so I duly followed orders!

Firstly there were Musk Sticks. I confess I have no idea what these are or what they might taste like (I’d guess strawberry?) – Always fun to see something completely different!

Next were Cherry (& coconut) Ripe which look yum – they are made by Cadburys but I’ve never see any of them in the UK before.

Thirdly was a box of vegemite cheese biscuits in the shape of Australia – as the box says “you can’t get more Aussie”. I’ve always thought vegemite would taste like marmite – I’ll find out soon.

Then there was a box of TIMTAMS! I’ve heard about these before and was very excited to see them!

Lastly there was the 5th and final present – it was big and squishy. As I carefully unwrapped it I noticed a window surrounded by blue… I was very excited by this!

Initially as unwrapping I thought it was a cushion and thought that was lovely and would fit very well on my sofa… then I saw a strap and that it was a BAG! Excitement levels increased - a girl can never have too many bags – especially one which is bigger on the inside!

This bag is a thing of beauty – there’s a TARDIS on the front and “It’s bigger on the inside” written on the back and lined with Doctor Who fabric.

And I believe it was handmade by my Santa - which is so impressive and I’m very appreciative of the effect you’ve put in! It must have taken so much time and it looks amazing! Will be well wore and loved!

Huge Big Thank you Miss-Omnibus for a very blue, geeky and Aussie gift box!

Tasting notes:

Musk Sticks: These taste like, well nothing really from the UK – closest guess is a Turkish delight. Very different and entertaining to taste!

Cherry Ripe: (saving for later)

Vegemite cheese biscuits: I’d say vegemite is like a mix of Bovril and Marmite – rather yummy! And I’m still amused that they are shaped like Australia

Tim Tams: Very chocolatey and yummy – rather like a chunky penguin
