I got my shot glass from Tennessee! It’s from Graceland and has the Elvis TCB logo on it. Many thanks! It will go into my collection. ---

Mine finally made it to the post office today, badly wrapped in the worst-looking box ever. ---

Guess what? There are! Crap! :smack: I “went home and repacked the box”, and off it went today towards the Great Lakes. ---

> [@Baker](#): > > **silenus** , I made soup with that mix you sent! Very, very tasty. Cool. Those mixes are really handy when you don’t want to make soup totally from scratch. I baptized your shot glasses with good Kentucky bourbon, and the wife and I toasted those who take part in these exchanges. ---

I didn’t even think to check if there might be a problem with including a little sample bottle of Australia’s only homegrown spirit. :smack: I hope it makes it through US Customs OK then? I’m all concerned it might get binned now. ---

Just discovered that I was much too honest on my declaration label to the US. It would seem that I can’t send alcohol, even as a gift into the US. ☹ Fingers crossed that no one is reading the labels in the moment it passes by… ---

Great idea! I bet tons of dopers would dig that. I can organize it in a few months (space these out a bit) or if you wanna take the reins on that, go for it! Sounds fun. ---

Mine arrived! I now have 2 very handsome gold rimmed shot glasses with “United Kingdom” printed on them with a very pretty rendition of the UK flag. I also received a sample of sloe gin from Bramley and Gage which I intend to use to make a sloe-gin-fizz later this week, as well as a very nice Montezuma’s chocolate bar; really nice rich dark cocao flavor! There was unfortunately no name on the package, so whoever you are from the UK –Thank you! ---

Got mine today! I think maybe it was from **minionkat**. If so, the package made it before the note. Here’s a [picture](https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/zyr9iR3kRWnMXtDHPJ0Qg8fu8_8sIFNBUvpygUtxP9w?feat=directlink) of the goodies I got. There’s a pretty maple leaf shot glass, a bottle of Crown Royal, a cool bottle opener, a keychain, and a Loonie. Thank you! ---

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see that the Crown Royal made it through. What a relief. Also glad you like the antler bottle opener. I couldn’t resist it. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/7th-annual-shot-glass-exchange/617535.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/7th-annual-shot-glass-exchange/617535.md?page=5)
