I am seriously floored right now... this is one of the most generous, well thought out, and creative gifts ever! I feel like I just got a hug from a Russian.

FIRST: Tons of Russian candies and treats. The little candies are seriously delicious, and though I haven't tried all of them yet- the one with the little bears on it is my favorite so far.

Second: Pine jam and Buckwheat Honey! I have never heard of pine jam in my life, and it looks a little bit intimidating with the little pinecones floating in a purplish goo... but it came with the sweetest most inviting note attached to it so I had to try it- WHOA MAMA this stuff is FANTASTIC and WEIRD. I have been known to have strange tastes and this stuff really hits my sweet spot. I will do my best to describe: a bit of india pale ale, a bit of birchwater, a bit of boysenberry syrup, and a bit of strawberry jelly. This would be fantastic on pancakes, but I plan to savor it as prescribed. I can't wait to try the buckwheat honey on my toast tomorrow morning, I love honey!

Third: Ostrich jerky and Deer meat. I will need to look up how to eat this dear meat, but it smells out of this world. The ostrich jerky is pretty fantastic. It tastes like the darkest dark meat chicken ever. And no- we do not have ostriches in NYC ;)

Fourth: A dragon pin and a little handmade dragon pal! I am honored to have one of your little creature creations in my collection. I will cherish it forever.

10/10- coolest gift I have ever gotten. /u/redpersik really crushed this one. I feel like a got a real piece of culture and a real taste of her individuality. THANK YOU!
