It was fun and exciting waiting for 7.30am each morning to open our next gift. We both managed to put some unusual goodies into the mix. What can I say, but, I thoroughly enjoyed the concept and the element of surprise. I must admit that I was guilty of feeling the packages, gently of course, to see if I could guess and I didn't score 100% by any means.
