Some reminders of Deutschland. Home from home. And a Yellow Postcard to add to my collection.
A selection of some yummy chocolate, I can take or leave Milka itself, it's the things they put in it.... DAIM!
Lemon, Ginger and Cardamom tea
Kuhflecken Chocolate- Fresian Chocolate in other words, Kuhflecken translates literally to Cow Spots
Apple Tea- my absolute favourite thing from DE, and something I've found difficult to get in the UK, let alone at a decent price.
Rosehip and Hisbiscus Tea- a new one for me to try, but it smells lovely.
I guess, for me, this package is brilliant not because of where it came from or the value of it or even to a certain point what it contained. It's the thought behind it. I'd forgotten I'd even told T about my love of Apple Tea and my inabilities to get it, let alone expected him to remember whilst he was out in Germany. I know some people might be less than excited to receive a package of tea, chocolate and a postcard, but some serious thought went into this, and things like this are such a reminder... It's the little things.
Watch, Spain.
Mis padres were in slightly warmer climes, Spain. And this is a thank-you for business/dog/house sitting whilst they were gone. It comes from a favourite shop in Malaga airport that sells all sorts of jewellery and every coloured pashmina known to man.
The real beauty of this find? It's not a guys style. My everyday watch is a men's style, and I love it, I do, male or female, because I need something a little less delicate than most women's styles. But you don't get sparkles and leopard print on a men's watch..... Expect to see it in outfit post or ten soon.

Lovely watch! And I adore that he remembered and put effort into your present from Germany, that's one of the sweetest things I've heard in a while and it put a big smile on my face :)
Much Love

Thanks, I'm glad it made someone else smile too.
I LOVE that apple tea! My Aunt and Uncle always bring me some when they visit from Holland!
I love it, it was my absolute favourite and I used my very last supply of it last year. And it's a little taste of DE whenever I have it.
That chocolate looks so nice! Cute watch too. x

Beautiful watch. x hivennn
What great gifts, as someone that's just moved countries I can totally empathize with the delight of getting food parcels from the homeland. Although luckily a lot of English food is available in the USA I miss a lot of the chocolate!

Thanks.
Although it's not home, I think I left a piece of me in Germany! I used to love getting British goodies when I lived in France though, I understand in the States there's a certain Kitsch that's attached to British goods, bet they're mega expensive though!
Such lovely gifts! It's always nice to have little presents like this :)
