Christmas Clearance and Re-Gifting Mission


WRITE SHOP ROBERT

Recommended Posts

Received my re-gift mission package today and was blown away by it. :) Inside the package were 3 beautiful geocoins, a really nice pathtag, a huge box of liquor filled chocolates :anibad: , a life saver book, candy canes (one of which was a really nice ornament, and 2 card games. Also, there was a nice Christmas card with a note inside.

The coins were all so nice and right down my alley. I dont know the names of them, but the larger one had windows around the outer edge, providing a neat view of things when looking through the windows. There was a FuzzyBear3 jelly belly coin - so pretty, and a snowball SPLAT. :)

 

It was a perfect gift – the kids helped out in the unwrapping of the presents and it was like a 2nd Christmas for us all. I don’t know how you did it, Fuzziebear3, but you know my family very well…Thank you so much!

 

And Thank you very much Write Shop Robert – this was my first mission and I had a lot of fun!

Glad it arrived and you liked it. The coin is a Journey geocoin. Of course geoJellies are a group project. And the snowball, sadly, (my mistake when I ordered them) is non-trackable. But fun anyway.

 

Merry After-Christmas to all!

Received a nice package from Indiana Anthony (Tonyalynnm) yesterday!!! This was such a fun mission!

 

Here are all the nice goodies from the package:

A cute little JOY candleset, a very pretty ornament (the other one broke though), Lots of candy - a big bag of Smarties (I don't think I have ever had those), chocolate covered sunflower seeds in a christmas light, a 'Fiddlestix' with caramel and pecans, Santa clauses and candy canes. Also a 'Humbug', which made me laugh, as my husband is of that nature.

The coins were a Nordic Cacher Traveler coin that I had never seen before. A Touchdown coin (what team is yellow and black?). Also a cache cootie - I used to play that but I havent been on that site for a while.

 

All very fun, thanks for the great mission!! And thanks to WSR for organizing it too!

I am so sorry that the other ornament got broke, they where both so pretty ( and on sale ;) ) I thought I had wrapped it in enough bubble paper, I am glad you liked the mission though and Anthony will be so happy to hear you got it and enjoyed it. He has had such a good time with the missions and can't wait to come home from his dad's to see if he got anything.

Our second package arrived today and what a great one!!!! Unbelievable! But let´s tell the whole story:

 

Today at work my wife called me to let me know that a BIG package arrived for our son Lars. My son was very excited and happy and told me something like this: I got a LEGO “Buzz's Star Command Spaceship” with Buzz and with a bad guy and with a car and you can even open the cockpit and you can open the back and there is a special place to put the car inside and it has got 257 pieces and the car is carrying a big bottle and there was also a firetruck geocoin inside where the wheels can really turn (this is just a rough summary of the things he said). Summarized my son was very delighted. When I got home he was just fixing the last parts and still was very excited.

I took a picture of our happy son with the spaceship and he told me to take another one where you can see the ship with all doors open plus the little men plus the car plus the geocoin.

Dear Maine family and especially dear grandson of the Maine family: we are speechless about this big package and we (especially Lars) want to say a big THANK YOU! That was really a great surprise!

 

I also would like to thank Write Shop Robert for this great mission. What a fun it was to take part in it and to prepare surprise packages for other people. Thank you so much for this great idea!

So happy that your son liked it. My grandson who is 6 had fun in the toy section picking out just the right thing for him. My grandson has the fire truck coin and loves his so he had to send one to your son. All our missions have now been received. :D

My grandson received his mission today and he was very excited. He loves the hot wheels and is going to use the hand warmers this weekend when he goes ice fishing. Then he got a raccoon, a bear and a caching night geocoin. Thank you he loved it all.

a HUGE thank you to Skye of Groos Crew, as I cleared my mailbox this afternoon (Tuesday 25th).

What a thoughtful mission you put together for me.

One of the reasons I join these missions is that (for me in New Zealand) every mission is international.

I get to share a little of NZ with others, and I receive from others things not found here.

 

Today I received a wonderful, large hardcover notebook, with a quote on the front about carrying the beautiful things in life with us. So clever, as the cover was butterfly themed.

 

AND.... a neat shopping pad with magnet attached - Christmas themed with "no peeking" on it...

 

AND .... a neat Christmas (here's my co-ords, Santa) ornament geocoin in red.

 

I am so grateful for your caring and sharing.

Indiana Anthony's mission came in a few days ago, but I haven't had a chance to get by the PO till today. He was so excited to find a box of magic tricks and toys! He was so happy with the magic stuff I don't even know if he noticed the coins! He got a magic kit for his birthday last week ( happy 8th baby) and this was just so fitting. I know he got 2 coins one was a Super Mario coin that he loved the other I'm not sure about as it disappeared into his room fairly quickly with everything else. Thanks so much!! :laughing:

Thank you all for the updates so far. I've been checking off names and dates...Here's where we stand.

 

Six people have not reported sending their missions, and 11 people have not reported receiving theirs. I'll be doing a little more scouring of the reports to see if I can check off any more names, and then I will start contacting people who have not reported. If you have sent or received your Mission and have not let us know in the thread, please post a status report so that I can get you checked off on the list. Thank You.

 

Today is the last day that Missions should be sent, so if you haven't sent yours please try doing that today or get in touch with me and let me know if you will get it done soon. Please also contact me if there will be a problem getting your Mission sent.

Wow! I do not know how to express the look on Skye's face as she opened her package from Butterfly_Lady....I do believe she shed a tear. I know that I did a few, just from her excitement and the tremendous generosity that was shown to her for this mission!

 

Kiwi Finger Puppet - AKA Ivy

Kiwi Stuffed animal - AKA Maori (she looked up the meaning of Kia Ora - and named her after the language..lol)

Cross-stitch - which she is excited to learn how to do

2 grow in water items - she is driving me insane asking to "grow" them

3 ornaments for our tree next year

A bookmark - which is tucked away in her latest read already

A booklet on New Zealand - she is planning our vacation - hopefully that money tree in the yard will fruit really soon...lol.

Geocaching 10 year tattoos - I am hoping she will allow us to use these as swag, as I don't know how the school is going to react to them being all over her arms...lol.

Kiwiana Tea Towel - which she has decided is much better put to use as her placemat on the table

And all the coins....Kids are the future of geocaching, pig and sheep cache critters, travel gnome, heart traveler, candy cane, christmas star snow globe, butterfly TB, black/glow in the dark star, and the Feb 2010 oakcoins heart and pin set (which she gave to me the coin and her "boyfriend" the pin...because we have her heart....awwww).

 

Thank you so very much from both of us! You brightened her weekend, and put a smile on both of our faces to last awhile!

For some reason my packages from the Netherlands are very slow.

(One of my Christmas parcels arrived on the 28th of January :huh: )

I'm sorry about this delay.

 

I hope my package for this mission arrives before Christmas this year. :)

Well seriously, if it has not arrived in about ten days, I'll send another one from a different post office.
