    Glad you're happy! I tried to put together a box full of fun stuff (including the not-so-black-bootyish Bambic) that was either wanted or just excellent. And I'm so glad the glass arrived intact. Enjoy!

    Hopefully I'll get some booty next week.

    Sorry for breaking the rules Jay, :wink: it was just so much easier to send that box instead of bubble wrapping all the bottles!
    Hope you enjoy them all. I'm pretty sure the Warmer winter is from '09, saw you had a pretty favorable review, thought you might like another older one.

    FedEx tracking has been pretty jacked the las 24. I had a box land 2pm yesterday and got a delivery noti at 7am this morning. It may not be Tuesday - or it may.

    I think there have been a few other boxes that were delivered that haven't been posted yet. Please post them.

    Also, I believe I heard from everyone, and it sounds like all boxes should be in the mail within the next day or two, so it looks like this will wrap up fairly timely.
