Yay! I hope you can put that coffee grinder to good use! You said yours was back in Australia so I figured you could use a small one.

There was a coffee grinder?  I'm going to have to go through everything again.  Thank you for the French press btw!  How did you know I broke mine a week ago.

Ohhhh xeevee I love the Dalek mug!! Terminate!!!! Terminate!!! Haha.

Great boxes guys!!

I think you'll find that's exterminate!

Dur I knew that xP. I was typing on my phone as I was walking out of the longest day of school in my life. Sitting in a classroom for 10hrs does not do well on my brain lol

The orchid paper is really pretty, but I freaking LOVE the textured papers. They have a golden sheen to them that is not unlike some of my favorite nail polish colors.

As that was running through my head, I first opened this...

Haha! A mini cuticle stick & nail file, plus french manicure guides. I actually have been meaning to grab the latter for awhile & keep forgetting. I'll be using all of these for sure!

Then I closely inspected the teeniest, tiniest, cutest, little stickers I have ever laid my eyes upon.

Aww, I almost teared up. What a sweet sentiment.

I saved the heaviest & biggest for last. Two mugs wrapped together.

The print is beautiful and reminds me of a lady who was like a grandma to me. The shape is awesome as well.

All the things!

I feel like you know me so well, Mindy! Everything was perfect & I love my box. This is the best swap I've ever been in! I'll remember this greatness every time I use my mugs, and now I can stop using the ugly San Francisco mug. Thank you.

[M!ndy]

Awww *wipes away a single tear of joy* I was soooooo nervous about the vintage (stone!!) mugs being close enough to the print you mentioned in your Q&A post... I'm pretty sentimental so yeh, I had to do something with that
I'm so glad you like everything! I'm crazy about nail polish too and would have sent HEAPS, but I read elsewhere that I couldn't send any to the US so I had to go with the mini-mani kit instead because I thought it would be cute 

*flails* I'm so relieved everything made it to you in one piece too! Aside from the mugs, I wasn't sure how the bread and butterfly would travel.. It was my first time making anything like that AND mailing a sort of fragile creation - so yay!
I had so much fun shopping (and crafting) for you!

[Mkia]

Holy cow!!! Such a great box! I love all the little handmade things! And TIM TAMS!! soo jealous! I still haven't found them *stomps foot*

And the mugs are awesome!! Congrats Shockponie! And great job M!ndy!!

[archidraca]

Wonderful box, xeevee! My fave is the horsey mug but I know my hubby would just love the Dalek mug.

Edit:
And somehow I missed your box, shockponie! I have no idea how because it is too awesome! That bunny mug especially!

[xeevee]

What an amazing thoughful box you got, shockponie.  The wrapping was stunning, as were all those little hand made things.  And oh my god are those stickers adorable!  I want some!  Great job, M!ndy!  You out did yourself!

[Sunshine]

Oooh M!ndy what a great box!! I love your theme throughout, the stirrers are so cute, and all the adorable extras and delicious nomnoms.... mmmm... and the mugs are SO pretty!! Congrats shock!!

[wiccanpony1]

oh my that bread butterfly book mark is wonderful I NEED one such a great box  xx
