So I picked up my mail today only to be absolutely spoiled by some pretty awesome gifts! I just finished eating one (yep I ate the Jack Links steak bar, which was admittedly far saltier than I would prefer, but was still yummy and a very different texture than most beef jerky or other such snacks I'm familiar with!).

Really my gifter went above and beyond by handmaking me the Little Miss Brainy art (which immediately went on my wall!). And then provided me much New Zealand deliciousness.

I'm probably the most excited about the wakame as I ADORE seaweed and using it to season stuff (well other than rice, which I'm sure I'll season with this inevitably) is a neat idea that I hadn't even thought of doing.

I'm not sure how to make the chip dip to be honest, mostly as I'm not familiar with this nestle reduced cream product (which from a quick Google search looks to be a NZ product that I doubt I'll find easily here in Canada), but the rest of the food products do look yummy and I could of course just make the onion soup, I imagine? A good incentive to make some of these foods, perhaps? :)

The bracelet is too big which is unfortunate as it's really pretty! But I might just alter it to fit my wrist or gift it to a friend who has larger wrists... we shall see. I do love the beads! I really should get back to my beading hobby someday in any case and this might give me the opportunity!

The shirt is awesome! It's not my size either but that's fine, I think that the man I'm dating will enjoy it and I'll enjoy seeing it on him too! I love the kiwi on it!

The mint case is pretty but it came a little cracked. I like how it was included as it includes a bit of geography of the area which is nice!

Finally the tea went straight to my tea cupboard. I plan on having some (which smells great) as soon as I buy some more milk so as to follow the drinking directions on the package!

Thanks again for such a diverse glimpse of New Zealand culture when gifting me my Little Miss gift! I never expected any of this and it was awesome!
