That is a question that will forever remain unanswered (unless another "alien" finagles one of those gifts)...I invited my benefactor to keep what she wanted (e.g. the candy, the letter in her name) and she said it would be easier to just send the unadorned (but pretty nonetheless) box in a packing envelope. I did see the picture though.

Judging by packages I've ordered recently, I highly doubt all those beautiful bows and flowers would have made it intact. I didn't realize the box was so small and light! haha
The bookmark blows the necklace away as far as my tastes go. My "assonant" friend sent me a picture of the letter, so I have a version of it. She's a videographer so documented the whole unwrapping carefully.
We poor cousins of the Americans just have to be grateful that we're able to get the crumbs of the original masterpiece. ;) Definitely made my day! The jade mouse bears a pretty strong resemblance to a turtle (grin).
So how's Botswana? Did you do a reading there too?
The Botswana agates came from London.
