An Asian Themed Present

This long box caught my attention when I was halfway through the basket; and so I pulled it out and opened it, and I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail heartthumper had put into wrapping everything. There's a chinese recipe book, two teabags, a calendar, post-it notes (that match the calendar) and a fern bamboo tea candle; along with a BC bookmark and postcard! I love it all. And the tea candle smells so delicate and beautiful that I'm hesitant in lighting it until the right time comes along.

And seeing all of this was wrapped up individually in tissue paper and packed so carefully, I thought to put this gift as lucky last on the thank you list for the international gift-givers.

A Gift With A Difference!

Just like Loey's present, judygreeneyes, didn't give me a book; instead sending me something totally different. My parcel was bulging and felt fragile; however on opening it, I smelt coconut and peppermint... yum! I pulled out two candles which had a purple ribbon around them - one was French Market and the other Diva (both smelt so good, I could almost eat them!), and then there were the peppermints from San Diego, California. Loey tried one of the peppermints and said they were really strong; but good!

Thank you so much for them, they are wonderful and are currently sitting near my stereo and television awaiting use (which will be soon; as I get really curious about the smell of scented candles when I receive them). I'll let you know how it all goes when I do light them. Thank you again!
