It was my birthday in June. Three days ago, I received a birthday gift from my friend who knows me well. He had given me a heads up that it was on its way, but I can honestly say that I was expecting something else.
First of all the package arrived in a rather large box that advertised itself as carrying oyster crackers. My immediate thought was, as the man came up the stairs carrying said box, I hope it's not a box of oyster crackers. I'm sure that I could slog through a couple of packets, maybe even half the box, but I probably wouldn't enjoy it at all and would ponder my eating thought process whilst doing so.
So then I actually took the box from the mailman. It was pretty heavy. Oyster crackers are not this heavy, I thought.
I shuffled back into my apartment and put the box down on my desk, then went to open it. Inside was an awesome, small backpack. I mean, it's really great. Just the right size for gym clothes.
I opened the backpack up and found on top, a tee shirt. It wasn't just any tee-shirt, it smelled like man. Not a dirty, hobo smelling man; no, it smelled like a good man. This was very exciting for me.
After that whiff of pleasure, I then found a towel with a certain countries flag on it. I like the flag very much, and will think of said country while drying myself off after another celibate shower.
Anyway, then I thought, this towel and tee shirt can't make this backpack this heavy. Well, then I removed the towel and found the three kilos of rainbow sprinkles on the bottom half of the backpack.
Seriously.
Three kilos of rainbow sprinkles.
It was crazy. It was hilarious. I loved it. I know that I had mentioned to my male friend that I really loved rainbow sprinkles, but I had really said it in passing and had actually completely forgotten that I had ever mentioned it to him so I was totally surprised when I saw all those sprinkles.
I think I laughed for five minutes straight when I saw those sprinkles. I don't know how long it will take me to get through them all; a few months I am sure.
I moved the bag into my fridge, then finished unzipping the rest of the backpack. I found two DVD's in there as well as a few little knick-knacks.
I think it's so awesome that I got those sprinkles. It was very thoughtful and I have to say that it's one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. I think it's because it's so original and personal, those kidns of gifts always make the best impression.

Sounds like a great gift to me too. Not necessarily that I like sprinkles but if you do he really must've had you in mind.
