I received my chocolate today!

"Dear Nominator, Thank you - and merci! - for participating in the first annual National Thank You Day contest by.....

As promised, enclosed are two boxes of merci Fines Assortment of European Chocolates...."

And, I also got a visa gift card from my Ex's parents (I don't like to use "ex-inlaws" b/c they are still my family as I've known them since HS) as an early Christmas gift to use on our trip in 2 weeks.

And with Tricia getting the Disney rewards out so fast, I had them yesterday...it is a great mail week!

Ooh, and I got my Vista Print Christmas cards too!

:cooldance: :cooldance:

I didn't get mine yet, but my BIL, who I nominated and who won one of the first prizes (not the grand prize) got his chocolates and book. I'm watching for my chocolates!

So, we had 2 winners come from SR? That is fantastic! Someone else on here(I forget who) nominated the person that won the grand prize.

Congrats to you and your BIL!

:confused: Why is it two boxes?
I think one box was to keep and one to give away(to your "Thank You" nominee).

I was only expecting a small box with maybe 4 pieces. These are way better! And the chocolate is really good too!

Darn it! No chocolate for me. I wonder if it is because we moved in the meantime?

Got mine today! Gave one to my neighbor because he is so good to me, took the other to my Dad's and we ate it while watching football. Mine came in a good size box, like a shirt box.

Picked mine up at the Post Office this morning (wouldn't fit in the mailbox). It was a nice little surprise. I read this thread when it started and just assumed that I had not won.

I got mine yesterday too. I had read the thread before I got it, but it was still a nice suprise! :sunshine:

We got ours today (I nominated DH so we each got one). From the "signature" on the card enclosed, it seems that Peggy Post of etiquette fame is part of this, so it only makes sense that they sent what they said they would. :)

They are in the CUTEST box, too.

I haven't had a piece, but DS is loving them! And what is best is that he can have them, b/c the company was kind enough to make the chocolates without high fructose corn syrup, or even normal corn syrup! So that's even nicer!

Merci, Merci-company. :)

I was truly surprised to get this candy b/c I never got credit for the offer! I'm glad to hear it's yummy. You can buy it at Aldi, which has a lot of really good German products.

Does our nominee also receive the candy?

I got two boxes today in my mailbox! I would be interested in knowing if our nominee gets one too!

I got 2 boxes also, but there was a little note in mine to give it to the person I nominated. It sure is yummy!!

Mine came in yesterday's mail. My nominee already got some as a winner, so we get to eat both boxes! DH is loving it, and he is usually not much of a candy eater.

Got mine yesterday too! Interestingly, these are the same kind of chocolates that DH brought back from a business trip to Denmark this Summer for me. They are yummy!

Yeah, I got mine yesterday also, and 10 minutes later my toothbrush from bzz. Happy day, the only downside to living in florida is that the chocolates were melted, nothing the frig didn't take care of.
