We're in - Bajanne, and Lilbajanne

Last year, we some problems, but it worked out well!  My present arrived on my birthday (January 23) and my daughter's just before her birthday (February 18)!! 

Surprise us, but please include something from your neck of the woods.  I collect souvenir key chains (the cheap glassy kind) so please include one in my gift.

Oh, and a T-shirt would be fine (for me not Lilbajanne) - XL
