Hello.
Please ignore mess - I am cleaning and decluttering
for when my PC gets here,
so I've been trying to get all the crap out from there.
So, I'm back in North Carolina
and I came home to a lot of stuff from my PO box so I thought
that I would open that here 'cause people like these videos so why not?
We'll go ahead and start off with some letters
because they're the smaller things.
I did actually get this letter
not too long before I left for Toronto.
I'm not gonna read, like, everything from the letters
because privacy but I just want to at least say thank you.
So, I got this Christmas card from Anna Morgan.
She is actually a pledge on my Patreon, so thank you very much for that, Anna.
I very much appreciate it.
This is another one from another patron of mine, Mark.
It's a cute little Christmas card. Look at that.
And there's some stuff inside.
What's in here?
It says "To Rikki" because who else would you be sending something to?
Winter wishes. Aww...
There's a little present inside. What is this?
It's like I'm having Christmas all over again.
Oh! How cute.
It's a kitty bookmark.
I don't know what you call them.
Is it magnet? Is it a magnet?
Ooh, I think it's actually a magnet.
But I could use it as a bookmark if I wanted but it's just a little kitten.
That's so cute. Thank you.
OK, so, this next one, I went ahead and opened it yesterday.
I didn't read it but I just opened it
because there wasn't a return address or even a name, so I got slightly worried.
So, I just wanted to open it.
Oh, I know who this is from. (Laughs)
Katie, hi!
Katie is a pledge
and she went to my YouNow streams very often.
So, now I know who you are, OK.
(Laughs) This is nice.
This is just a response to the other letter that I sent.
If you are a 25-plus patron on my Patreon, then you get letters.
We're basically pen pals.
And, for the longest time, people were not replying back
so I felt kind of sad but Katie's replying back.
That's awesome. Thank you, Katie.
We'll go with Taylor.
I recognise Taylor.
She is someone that likes
pretty much everything on my Facebook page, which is good.
Don't stop. (Laughs)
I don't mind at all.
Ooh, it's a Christmas card with a pug and a Maine Coon cat.
Aww...
This cat looks like one of my old cats.
Hope you have an amazing Christmas and a happy New Year.
Thank you, Taylor. This is adorable.
So, I have this next one from Chris.
Chris, did you take a picture of your house and then, like...?
Oh, you have a bunch of Christmas decorations.
ChrisGageTV.
So, if you want to go check him out.
Now I have packages. My favourite.
So, I got a couple of packages that came from Amazon
and brands and stuff like that.
It's a mixture of, like, gifts from viewers
which thank you so much and just brands.
So, I'm very intrigued by this.
Ai-Media sent me a package.
If you don't know who Ai-Media, aka Access Innovations is,
they are a closed captioning company and they have a Facebook page.
I make videos for them on their Facebook page.
So, they sent me a package and I had no idea I was getting sent a package.
Nobody told me.
The customs declaration says a notebook and a fidget spinner.
Oh, it's wrapped so nicely!
Look at this.
It's wrapped all nicely in, like, an envelope and it has a bow.
Oh, my god.
Ai-Media has their own fidget spinner.
Look at that. That's kinda cool.
And now for the most exciting part.
I'm sorry, Ai-Media.
It's not that I don't appreciate the fidget spinner,
it's just I love notebooks. (Laughs)
I have way too many notebooks.
In fact, I bought two.
And now here I am with another one.
And it's... Ooh!
It's their own branded notebook.
That's awesome and it's just black.
It has a red whatchamacallit
and it says Ai-Media.
I'm going to figure out what to use this for.
I think I need to use up my other 20 notebooks that I have, but thank you!
I have a package from Singapore from Ziming.
They are a...
They follow my YouTube channel
and they reply a lot on Instagram and I kinda know what this is.
On the customs, it says one Pokemon set of stationery.
Oh, look at that!
Ooh, there's a letter.
"Hope this package reaches you safely." It did.
Watching a few of your videos, it seems you like Pokemon very much.
This camera surrounded by all the Pikachus and Eevees
and a Growlithe did not give that away at all.
I wanted to send you this that I bought in Taiwan.
Ooh, I love Taiwan too.
OK, so, ooh!
This is a Pokemon phone ring so you can put it...
You know how you have the pop socket?
You have it in a ring form.
You know, like, that's so cool.
I really like that.
Ooh, it's a power bank for the phone.
They got chargers and then what the heck is this?
Is this a microphone? Dude.
Thank you so much.
These two things I'm very excited for,
especially this because I'm getting another phone soon from Apple.
So, I told myself I don't want to keep any more boxes
but I kinda want to keep this box.
And now we have...
Let's open some brand packages, I think.
So, I have a skincare package.
There is a girl that I fol...
A woman that I follow on Twitter named Nayeon.
And...Nayeon, Nayeon.
And I have been following her for quite some time.
She posts a lot about cruelty-free and vegan make-up and skincare.
And she's supported me every once in a while, you know,
by Ko-fi jar and all that stuff, so I've always been very appreciative of her.
And she just got a job being a PR for a skincare brand.
And she emailed me, asking if I wanted to try anything
and, well, skincare is expensive, so I said yes. (Laughs)
Yeah, so, Nayeon just asked me what I wanted to try and let's see.
So, this brand is called Klarif
and it was made by a man whose son had a skin condition
that was very hard to treat, I guess,
with what's on the market right now,
like, your mainstream products, so he made his own.
It doesn't say exactly what this is.
Oh, the black sugar face and body polish.
So, it's an exfoliator.
Oh, by the way, this video is not sponsored by any of these brands.
I just received these things for free and I wanted to do an unboxing.
The 2,000 years natural remedy hand and body cream.
This has coconut...cocoa butter, black cumin and rosemary.
I asked her what's good for dry skin
because my dry skin is terrible right now
'cause it's winter and I've been going to Canada and then here and oh, god.
And then I got one more thing, I think.
Let's open this before we do anything.
"Rikki, hope you love the samples.
Can't wait for your feedback.
Thank you for your support, Nayeon."
So, let's open this baggie.
Oh, there's a couple of things.
This is their...
This is a soap. Is this a soap?
Black magic premium Klarif original charcoal soap.
Lather into wet hair or between hands.
Oh, you can wash your hair with it? That's cool.
OK, this is the purifying pure hydrator.
You just spray this on your face and then it's supposed to help moisturise.
Oh, and this is the blood orange one.
This is the one I was most excited for because I love anything orange-scented.
And then this is the purifying facial cream, so another moisturiser.
I think this one I wanted more for my face
and then the 2,000 years one I wanted it for all over my body.
Thank you to Nayeon and Klarif.
I can't wait to try them.
I probably...
I don't know if I'm gonna do a whole video on it
because skincare is not really my thing here,
although I have talked about veganism a little bit so maybe.
But I will likely post something on Instagram.
If you want to follow me, @rikkipoynter,
and then there'll be an update on there if you're interested
or on Twitter or both.
So, if you've been following me long enough,
I had a guest on my channel for a really quick video
and she was offering free caption phones, Crystal,
and she emailed me a little while ago, a couple of weeks ago,
asking me if I wanted to support her new project called Smile and Nod.
And basically it's like a hat shop.
And I'm probably gonna do a whole separate video on it
but let's just open this.
OK, this is cool.
So, this says 50% of profits donated to Smile...
The Smile and Nod project is a movement
to create and promote awareness of hearing loss through a funding project
that assists in expanding the minds of communities
all over the country and perhaps one day the world.
There's two different colours.
There's this one and an olive one, I believe.
I think this might be a little too big for my head right now but...
Doesn't work too well when you have a bun.
But thank you, Crystal.
I will get a little more into detail about this in the future.
But, for now, let's move on to the next one.
So, the rest of my packages are from Amazon.
I do have a couple of Amazon wishlists.
I have a personal one.
I have one for books, which is also personal.
And then I have a YouTube/Twitch wishlist.
They all go together.
And I just have that for, you know, people like to look at Amazon wishlists
and people ask and they're like, "Do you have a wishlist?
"You know, in case I want to give you something or whatever."
But, you know, for the record, nobody's ever obligated to do anything.
You don't have to click on it.
You don't have to purchase anything.
It's just there.
I buy from it from my own pocket sometimes so just so you know.
So, let's start off with this package.
That sounded and felt breakable.
Actually I did look at...
I always look at my purchased section on the wishlist,
so I don't know which is in what.
Actually one of them I do because it's so thin
and I know what the packaging of the particular item looks like
but I'm not sure...
"Hi, Rikki, and enjoy your gift. From Shari."
Thank you, Shari.
So, these are the Tombow pens.
These are the mono-drying pens.
I use these to write letters with, write in my planner.
These are fantastic pens.
I have the third and the fifth point but I lost the first one,
the number one, the 01 point
at Canadian border control.
So, I don't know what happened to it.
So, thank you so much.
I love to have these. There are some of my favourite pens.
And then we have another one.
I'm going to assume these are all from Shari
because they were all bought at the same time.
So, oh!
Oh, what the heck is this?
OK, I had no idea about this.
Calm the F*ck Down - an Irreverent Adult Coloring Book.
What the hell?
What is this?
Who bought this?
"Hi, Rikki. Seems like something you'd appreciate.
Merry Christmas. Shari."
Oh, my god. It's so funny.
Oh, there's a colour test page.
That's pretty awesome.
"Calm the F*ck Down by Sasha O'Hara.
Also by Sasha - "Chill the F*ck Out",
"Happy Fucking Holidays,"
Cheaper than Therapy and Calm the F*ck Down.
This is so fucking cool, so thank you so much, Shari.
I had no idea that this was coming to my PO box.
So, that's awesome.
So, I'm guessing the other two things are in the next package
but this is perfect.
This is my first adult colouring book ever and this is a perfect...
This is so awesome.
And now the last one which I'm going to assume has two things in it
which is why this is so long.
So, here is a double pen case.
I needed a new pen case because I was using,
like, you know those mesh packing cubes?
I was using that as my pencil, my pen case and it was terrible.
I don't recommend it.
So, I got... I put this in my wishlist.
So, you're probably wondering why the hell
do you have pencils and stuff in your wishlist?
Well, I like to handwrite letters for, you know, to YouTubers with PO boxes,
especially when VidCon comes around and I like to ask them to caption.
I do both emails and handwritten letters
so it's just nice to have all my pens and stuff in one case
that's also pretty small and easily able to travel.
This is cool. Thank you so much.
I also write letters to, like, police stations and hospitals
about accessibility, so I print those off.
Like, I type those and print those off for professional.
So, I have a lot of envelopes and stamps in my wishlist and stuff, you know?
So...
There's also, you know, the Ko-fi tip jar
in case anybody's ever interested in helping out with stamps.
But, again, you don't need to.
And then this is what I was also extremely excited for.
The Sharpie Art Pen 12-pen thing with the case.
It has a case in it.
I saw these on Boho Berry's channel.
I've wanted them ever since but, as I stopped bullet journaling, I just...
I kept them on my list and stuff for one day but...
I'm betting these are to go with the colouring book
which I could use them for that too.
That's fantastic. I'm so excited.
So, that is everything.
Thank you so much to Ai-Media, Crystal, Nayeon, Klarif,
to Shari, to everyone who sent a letter.
To the viewers, thank you so much for all of your support
and the fact that you want to do this.
If you want to follow me on my social media, I have my usernames down here.
If you want to send a letter or anything,
I have my PO box address right up here.
Patreon and last video over there.
Ko-fi tip jar down there.
I upload every Monday and Thursday and I will see you later. Bye.
