Hello Pam,
I did enjoy seeing your gifts each day. And can see why it would be fun. But, I too was disappointed to see mostly just swag and non quilt related items. Although, the idea of the box is really neat and fun. I talked it over with DH and we came up with the idea of buying 2 items a month with one having 3. Set a money limit per each item and will wrap it as I buy it. And, that will be my DH's gift to me next Christmas (2019). That way the box would be more tailored to me. And, if I'm lucky, I will forget some of what is in the box by next year. Or at least I will have some things I can't wait to receive next Christmas. So, the box inspired me to try it, just in a different way.
Thanks for sharing the surprises and the info.
