Let's use this thread to report actual delivery of the packets and comments about the kit contents.
Please no "nothing yet" posts , at least until we get to 31 Jan 2019, when that may mean there is an issue. UA just states you should get the kit in January.
In the past, UA has used mystatus.united.com to report shipment status of the kits.
Not confirmed yet, the link on mystatus.united.com for requesting luggage tags suggests there may be no physical Silver or Gold membership kits for 2019. Appears confirmed no Gold / Silver cards are requestable
Also new this year is the "welcome letter" on mystatus.united.com
Past years

Let's stay focus on "2019 Premier Kit discussion - contents, pictures, actual delivery, ..", there are plenty of other threads on actual elite benefits and/or the best choice of lounges

Mine says pending, still, though it makes sense since I didn't qualify for 1K until pretty much Dec 31. Hope that helps.

Got mine in London yesterday. Lovely presentation etc., but what a waste of money. I can't believe anyone does anything with the coasters (which must double their production and postage costs) than throw them away.

This year’s coasters will go into the same junk drawer as last year’s— I have no idea what to do with them. Do people really display them on their coffee tables?

No, they are not going on my coffee tables. But, when we invited some young people for dinner, we got them out and they seemed to like it. It helped them remember which glass was their own. No more throwing a full glass of red wine in the sink (disclaimer: those young people were 21 years old).

That's the most valuable thing in there! 
That said, I was looking for colleagues to give my expiring 2018 chits at a meeting earlier this month. I like having them, but I feel like the need/opportunity to use them is rare.

Last years coasters came in a tin with NYC on the cover. Is there no tin box anymore?
And yes, I do have my UA coasters out on my coffee table. But I also have a UA beverage cart from a 777 stocked as a bar cart too
