    A few more usefull items received, but only because I chose/paid for them myself:

    24 GB Three mobile data sim that lasts for 24 months (and costs £28) for use in a mifi.

    Neewer USB battery charger for Oly BLN-1 so I can re-charge my OLY OMD and PEN F batts from my 2000mAh power bank on the go, rather than waiting until I get back to mains charging.

    And a USB A Male to 12V Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Female Converter

      I got a bottle of mulled wine and a candle.
      The candle was almost burnt out before the mulled wine came up to the right temerature.

      Other than that nothing, I just send a couple of calendars to relatives in odd corners of the world, and one sent me back $50 so not a bad trade.
