Secret Santa Squee (and auxiliary squee)

[hamsterwoman]

I have a rather long post mostly written up, with the weekend and an eventful couple of days, but that's going to have to wait (probably until Thursday, because I'm in Oregon tomorrow), but one thing I could not delay was a squee post:

First, the other day we came home to a box of ender839's amazing cookies -- a true holiday tradition! (The chocolate

OOOOH HOORAY IT MADE IT! i was tracking and tracking but i didn't expect it to happen todaaaaaaaaaaay. yess! i'm so glad, i was so happy to get you and i went on so many gift hunts :DDDDD

(stupid bulgarian post, though, refused another set of bookmarks and a dragon notebook, because apparently you can't mail magnets O.o. what's even wrong with magnets?)

HAPPY HAPPY HOLIDAYS I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED.

p.s. the transparent soap is lavender plus... something. oats? oats i think. i wanted to end you some real dry lavender too, but i read somewhere that us post doesn't let plant bits in, so decided not to risk it.

I found a nice way to cheat postal system and its restrictions in a way that doesn't make me lose sleep and hairs -- choose to send the questionable item in a separate package, cheapest rate! :D and declare it as something innocuous on the form. this way i even managed to get jam sent to Anechka.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS LOVE!

It happened, and quite quickly for an international package! :DDD I absolutely love it, and all the care and though you've put into it, and I hope the gift-hunting process was as fun for you as the results are for me! <333

Magnets, huh... That is so bizarre! I can see not being to ship, like, industrial strength magnets that could mess up mail scanners or whatever, but bookmarks? (I'll just have to come collect them in person! ;D <-- we are actually seriously hoping for Bulgaria/Varna as part of the Europe trip next summer, so I'm only semi-joking about that! We haven't started thinking about dates or anything solid like that, and I will definitely consult you when we do start planning in earnest, so as not to show up when you're traveling, and, like, try to find an AirBnB a reasonable distance away. But hopefully we will get to meet and I'll be able to thank you in person! :DDD
