Unfortunately, I wasn’t at home when the courier first tried to deliver my gift package, but I got it yesterday, and I was shocked by how big it was!
I asked for something local to whoever was sending it, and @kaustav did not disappoint. He sent not one or two, but seven different items with a small write-up to go with it. Art, crafts, decor, music and food were all covered!
Thank you for your very thoughtful and plentiful gifts. I don’t have much musical talent, but I still get excited when I learn of new musical instruments, I had heard of but never seen or used an Ektara before. I will check out someone playing it. The Gur Sandesh was amazing, both of us loved it!
I am quite fond of clay cups as well. I have some, but they are quite different from these ones.
I loved each and every thing you have sent. Thanks for the gifts, I will be enjoying them for a long time.
@kshitij For a moment I thought I had put in the wrong address, when the courier said - no such consignee found. I guess they just meant no one was home at the moment.
Anyways, I am really glad you got the gifts and also liked them.
I had to be really careful when picking out the items to make sure they were specifically from Bengal and were not easily available in other states. Thankfully my sister who lives in Gujarat helped me choose based on what was not available there.
It’s an “artisinal” dark chocolate containing pepper, lime and orange. Quite an unique flavour for a chocolate. I loved it and of course polished it off quite quickly.
There was no hint at all as to who sent it to me, so I have nothing to go on here for my guess.
Thanks a lot to my secret santa, may you please reveal your identity now.
The calendar contains beautiful shots of wildlife from frogs to elephants and everything in between.
The identitiy of my secret santa was revealed this time by the customs paperwork attached with the package and it is Arunmozhi.
@tecoholic Thank you so much for all the gifts. I really love it and because of this I will end up having a physical calendar in my room after a long time.
@kaustav I am happy you liked it. Because of international shipping, I couldn’t send any local food. But, I thought the yearly calendar from Melbourne Zoo would be a good local item. IIRC all those animals are in different zoos around Melbourne and the photos are submitted by the visitors.
