5th Annual Thrift Thread Gift Exchange Unveiling

tasted a little bit, exactly what you would expect!

Protip: Mix some of the bourbon syrup with greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, and some pecans. It's magical.

Also, scoop some vanilla ice cream into a bowl, stick it back in the freezer till it's rock hard. Heat up some maple syrup and drizzle it over the ice cream. Also magical.

Protip Pt 2: Electric Boogaloo - Use the bourbon syrup as a sweetener in tea. (Sorry, Brits. I'm a bloody numpty and I know it.)

Tip 3. Mix with custard, enjoy on fruit cake.


Also, if you haven't got your Thriftmas box yet. Please keep a look out. Not sure the one I sent has arrived yet. Sorry about it.

Tip 4: Pour some on your head and it can also be used as a hat.

It took two carriers and three cross country trips, but the package from @Chotii showed up last night. Here it is in all its glory. There is a vintage Zegna cashmere/wool scarf that looks to be related to the release of an old Italian car from the 90s, kind of a cool piece of history! Any car guys knew what a Lancia Thema was without searching? There is also a pair of Allen Edmonds Fairfax in Black that are in great shape. They are similar to a pair I have already, but different enough to warrant some space. I also received a bottle of Bourbon Barrel aged Maple Syrup, very cool. Finally, a nip of Brown Sugar Bourbon from Washington. If I didn't get a free upgrade to first class on tonight's flight, I would be bringing this with me. Next flight. Merry Christmas all and a Happy New Year!

Glad to hear that it FINALLY got solved! Man, you guys were cursed! Great stuff that you received. I actually don't think the Zegna scarf is vintage, it's from the relaunch they did of the Lancia Thema from two or three years ago. Either way, great scarf!

Are you sure?


Hehe, I know you'd know it was from me. A humble gift. With a dash of fun.

Belated shout-out to my anonymous Santa in Cincinnati for a BB sweater, gray and brown BB gabs, and a bottle of Woodford! You didn't put your name on or in the box, so I'm not sure who you are, but thank you!

 

[Purplelabel]

Woodford is very nice, great choice.

You know who's a schmuck? Me, because it took so long for me to post unboxing photos.

But you know who's awesome? Frickin' @Thrift Vader, who I was lucky enough to get for my Secret Santa:

Thoughtful handwritten note (pic isn't uploading argh)

Awesome Edwin Jacket:

Assortment of wild handkerchiefs:

Super cozy scarves:

Honkin' huge PRL Belt:

Action figure (in Vader's words "a daily reminder that our group of friends is worldwide) which now has a place of honor on my office windowsill:

THANKS AGAIN VADER AND MERRY THRIFTSMAS!
