I did lots of research on what to send a friend in Sweden and so many forums said that you guys only had the original skittles and m&ms and to send varieties. I also looked to see what kinds of tea you all had. The Bigelow Salted Caramel is my absolute favorite and I didn't see that Bigelow is sold in Sweden (but I'm not a great researcher...so I am not totally sure), so I wanted you to be able to try it. I love to add a bit of milk to mine which brings out the flavor of the tea. Not sure if you guys drink milk with your tea over there People on forums also said to send vodka, haha. I chose to refrain from doing that.

Hahahaha. We have a lot of vodka; maybe it's a joke about keeping warm because it's so cold here? You are so sweet! Thank you for sharing how you came to choosing the gifts. I was wondering why M&Ms and skittles, but definitely in a good wondering way. Indeed, all those flavors are completely new to me and I can't wait to dig in! The tea is definitely not something I've seen here and I love caramel and I drink tea every day (and I do add milk with mine) so I'm going to try it tomorrow morning!

like, that surprised you and not pretzels?

Oh hey! I got my stuff today from the incredibly sweet and lovely [mention]Elohcin[/mention] !



the box in all its glory



pretty much every kind of m&ms in existence which is so awesome cos I love m&ms and loads of flavors I've never ever heard of or tired! caramel, almond, coffee and strawberry. We just have the regular chocolate and nut varieties so I have to keep myself from eating them all at once and probably going to chocolate heaven.



some skittles because I friggin' love skittles!



salted caramel black tea!!! I love tea, I love caramel. Never tried this. Cannot wait to try it.





this is where dunia gets emotional. She made a handmade cross stitch cute thing I can hang and she wrote Merry Christmas AND God Jul, which is the Swedish translation of Merry Christmas. Ok, who cut the onions in this room?



a hand drawn and written merry christmas card from Eloh which should be framed because it's frigging awesome she took the time do make it for me.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TASHA! I'm so glad I made a new friend of you last year and the thoughtfulness in your gifts really means a lot to me.

me! Probably expected since I'm in Sweden though.

so glad you liked everything. I had a little help from [mention]juliets[/mention]

it's midnight here, so I don't think you were my secret santa

me neither, but I took a risk basing it on my victim's favorite colors mostly tbh.

oh wow. That's awesome! Y'know, I was almost sure nutella was my secret santa...

btw I didn't get the memo these had to be mostly food stuff. I kinda suck at this

mmmmmm truffles and coffee. <3 <3

me too. If anyone thinks I am saving it for Christmas if I get it early, then hahahaaaa, you clearly don't know me.

I sent mine 5 days ago and just tracked to see where it's at and IT'S STILL IN ANOTHER CITY IN SWEDEN (STOCKHOLM) HOLY HELL WHAT IS THIS IF I WALKED TO STOCKHOLM IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FASTER!

Hey! No spoilers, Daisy!

I've already been gift shopping yesterday and today! I'm waiting on a couple things I ordered online too, then I'll send it out early cos I'm terrified of international shipments on the busiest shipping holiday of the year (usually takes 10-12 days though) so....if you get it early, save it for Christmas!

[mention]G-Man[/mention] , you're not picky at all.
