Happiness delivered -- YES, please!

This surprise package showed up at our house on Thursday -- if I have my day right. Pardon me if my head is mixing up dates. As if the holiday season isn't sprinkled with enough insanity, ours was doubly crazy with Dan's health. So, he got this package from my friend Jill, who just might be the most thoughtful person on the planet. And I love that about her, despite my inability to reciprocate her thoughtfulness, she still does all these wonderfully nice things for us! 

What an unexpected surprise from Henry & David -- never heard of these guys before -- but yum, yum. Take a peek at what was inside this gorgeous box! 


I love fancy, gorgeous, intentional packaging. This is the outside of the box. How beautiful! And if this bright red doesn't brighten your spirits and get you in the mood for the holidays, check your pulse! Happiness delivered? Well, let's see....


Pears -- that's how this company got its start. What a great idea to share the story right on the packaging. More beautiful designs, festive colors. This package has it going on! And the pears tasted great!


Havarti cheese -- never heard of it, but it too was wonderful. Yummy!! Soft, mild and melted in my mouth. I think I need some more....STAT! 


Salami -- very peppery. Different, unique and delivered just like everything else! 


Happiness delivered? Well, yes indeed. I think it just was. Thank you very much Jill Morino and Henry & David. Never heard of the latter, but as soon as I find someone to pay it forward to, they'll be getting Henry & David. 


We haven't tried the pepper and onion relish, but it turns out my sister HAS heard of Henry & David. She had already told me about this relish she was bringing to Christmas -- a pineapple jalapeno or something. OMG. I couldn't keep the Fritos out of that stuff. Really. Really. Amazing. 


Another adorable detail on the packaging. The marketing department needs a big kudos here. I knew this was something special when we opened it up!


This is how big the box was -- nearly the width of our dining room table. (Jill spares no expense!) That's Dan reading his Kindle on the other end of the table. Did I mention it also contained mouth-watering chocolates and chocolate-covered popcorn, plus the most simple looking cookies that were deceptively delicious. Happiness delivered. Yes. Yes. Thank you very much!

You're welcome!! I thought you could use some goodies after the rough week you all had. I couldn't deliver a home cooked meal in person so this was the second best thing!!
