:D

It's that time of year again, when gift giving is commonplace. Christmas is around the corner, in just under two weeks.

A number of months ago I was alerted to this post from Boing Boing. They're ice molds, they look awesome, the polar bear especially, being one of my favourite animals.

The problem with purchasing a set however was that ordering them from Japan was not easy, it was hard to translate the site and go through the order process, even after multiple attempts. Thankfully they started allowing easier, international orders a few months later. So I decided to pick up a couple of sets and send one of them to the friend who originally linked them to me.

This called for some more stenciling (simpler than last time), custom labelling on the box as well as wrapping paper, all with a :D theme. I added two stamps that resemble the penguin and the polar bear from the ice mold set as well, and added a post mark too.

It was a lot of fun putting this together, here are some photos of everything I mentioned above:
