Got my SS gift a day after Christmas and was relieved to see it made it from Australia to the North GA mountains here in the USA.

Opening the package (shipping $42 wow thanks!) I found 4 wrapped presents.

The first one was two excellent neck scarves, one being extra long and so soft. There were no labels so I'll assume they are Australian wool in origin. The other was a nicer dressy one in a dark herringbone that works perfect with a few jackets I own.

The second one had some really spiffy AU holiday cards, about a dozen, with scenes of Australian animals and on really nice stationery paper stock. It also had a small souvenir Australia branded Altoids box, that was personally marked as a 'stash box'. Good on ya, mate!

Third package was food! All kinds of Australian brands of sweets and stuff including Vegemite! I know that product from the Men At Work Song, it's a sandwich spread! (actually put on this music while I opened the gifts for ambience.)

4th package was marked 'open last' and it contained a beautiful gold display plate with all kinds of Australian vibe and mojo.

SS, this was the best and most thought out gift I have received in a very very long time. I asked for things from your area, and you delivered in a most generous and thoughtful way. I told you I was in a position to buy myself anything I wanted, so 'be creative'. And man, did you come through.

Every time I see these things, I am reminded to continue to have hope, for this shows that there are many good people out there, giving and loving with no promise of return reward. Doing good things for the sake of doing good.

Bless you, bless your life and everyone you hold dear. Now I need to go find out where that onion smell is coming from sniff.

tl;dr Secret Santa from Australia did not disappoint; came through like the GGG he is.
