so, my gift is indeed here. it arrived in latvia on/shortly before christmas, and i missed the delivery on the first day after, and didnt check the mailbox with notification before it was the new year on the nose (our mail services mostly work 8-5 on weekdays only)

without further ado



drat, this box has been fortified to heck. im starting to suspect my secret santa is an army packaging engineer or something because everything, outside and inside, was duct taped strongly enough that latvian post could as well be airdropping this gift to me with a trebuchet (no google gently caress off i didnt mean to write Bucharest there :wtc:)

so, a minute or two later, i got in



a couple newspapers and booklets later



holy poo poo, that's nice. but then, as it took it out, the cushion on the bottom seemed to be awfully thick.



voilla!



handling the slim package made me suspect there's a certain kind of item packaged inside, and it was what i thought indeed, although i couldve never imagined the actual content



holy poo poo (also i cant read the line between "your winter holiday" and "piece of poo poo", im sorry, santa :eng99: it's "Is A", isn't it?) that owns

now, the other package

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThFqU7XrAlI

just kidding :D my thoughts at the time were mostly concerned with the country name i read on the package, and what could be the implications (and they were!!!!)

a brief duct tape battle later:



...is this what i think it is...



:perfect: oh my loving god, swedish coffee beans and a grinder. drat, its like youre actually a kgb agent and not santa and have heard all my moaning about the misery that latvian coffee is. in a year since moving back here from sweden, ive had decent coffee just once, and it was when i spotted, of all things, a lonely package of arvid norquist (off all things, even ica basic would be better :qq:), priced at 110 kr, in a shelf of a lovely backwater store (:psyduck:)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw96ec_uuQ4

considering my current coffee status of



im ready as gently caress for this gift

thanks a lot santa and sorry that i was so sloppy at receiving the gift from the mail. happy belated holidays to you!

A second package arrived some time ago but I hadn't recognized it as a yosmasgift until CrazyLittle poked me in the shoulder

It's the time of year when local businesses stuff your slot in the community mailbox with their gently caress-ugly calendars, so when i had to dislodge a giant cardboard rectangle from the box I thought for sure that's what it was

then I opened it and found it was a fancy mouse pad from amazon, and figured loafwife ordered it for some strange reason

nope, it was a yosmas miracle

action shot:



it looks like it's only good for scrolling up and down but i can click yospos and submit reply and that's enough

thanks for the accidental gifts :). i don't even live in that apartment anymore, i moved in the same building and the front desk recognized my name on the packages and intercepted them for me!

i got a package from flakeloaf yesterday as well, but i think im waiting on another one so i'll post them together. heres a sneak peek with a lol fact

here's the rest of the box!

maple whiskey


maple syrup


maple tea


coffee

selfie stick


mystery hard drive. ill have to set aside some time to see what it contains, perhaps old memes and posts


thanks flakeloaf! im drinking the beer now and it is good. i got my gf a waffle iron for christmas so it will be nice to use the syrup on them. ill have the coffee and maybe the whiskey for breakfast one of these days.

Yay, everything made it!

A friend turned us on to sortilege a few months ago, and I've been in a really mapley-mood ever since. Maybe sip that one so you don't gag and go running for the insulin.

Do report back on the coffee, I'd bought it for myself but the box needed more packing material and it was a convenient shape.

Chris Phillips, or more likely the guy he hired, makes a lot of really good beer. His pub is stupid expensive but a great place to get pinned.

The selfie stick, or "ego portrait perch" as it's called in French, literally was packing material.

Everyone loves DOS games, and I couldn't decide on which ones to put on the SD card, and then I saw the hard drive and something Quebecois happened :ohdear:

You have a very photogenic cat.

Holy poo poo! these presents are amazing, thank you so much!

I had some of the whisky last night and it was fantastic, never really drunk any Japanese whisky before so this was a real treat and I'm really looking forward to reading these books and eating these sweets too.
