Secret Santa….. From across the pond

Afternoon everyone….

Ok no this package has some mileage on it. It traveled roughly 3,700 miles to get to me. While today is reserved for #sublimesunday, today I’m going to make the exception.

Where’s it from????

The Netherlands

You see our great community spans the globe. That community is the #silvergoldstackers of Hive.

Every year we do a secret Santa and whomever wishes to participate can. I have taken three spots for the secret Santa. Which means that I also receive three in return.

This is the very first year that I have received a package from across the pond. I have sent several, but this is my first being received.

So let’s get down to it…..

This is the card

I took a wild guess at what this translated to, and I think I’m correct. It says Happy New Year.

This is a tin of stoopwafel cookies. Sorry that it’s only of the tin. The cookies didn’t make it long enough to take a picture.

If you don’t know what these cookies are you need to find them. I’ve had them many times, I grew up win a Danish friend who’s aunt made them from scratch. These were the best ones I’ve had since then. Thank you GR…..🤩

Now for the part you’ve been waiting for….

The silver….

But not just any silver will do….

This is Perth Mint Proof silver…..

I bought one of those from @goldrooster it's really sexy!

These proof coins are beautiful. I have some of the proof Lunar coins from the Perth Mint and they are exceptional as well.

Cookies and silver - what a great surprise from across the world.

You have a great community going, makes me want to start stackin'!

Happy New Year!

No doubt. Honestly that would be a great idea. If you want to and need any help just ask.

Well actually I have ONE mint silver dollar that I bought in 1986, the year my first son was born, lol.
