Me too! My daughter loves it too. My whole family still talks about some of the gifts. One year I got a bag of yummy candies from Poland. The candies were all individually wrapped and had flavours lie strawberry, blackberry, etc. But one of the flavours was simply named 5. It's become a family joke now.
I use the little ceramic containers from (I think) Flying Cow for our salt and pepper by the stove for cooking every day and think of FT.
I get compliments every time I wear my Notorious RBG t-shirt.
And that is just a couple over the ~10 years that I've been participating (please apologies to anyone that I did not mention!) Only 1 bad Santa in all that time.
So thankful to Wharvey, HeadElf, and the whole FT Community for such fun!
