    I used to mock my kids for watching unboxing videos and now every day I’m like ‘I wonder what came in the Hip box’. 
    Thanks for sharing man. 
    Quite welcome :)

    Day 7) Zippo Lighter. I now have to go through by my HIP stash as I think I own this. If so this will be my first double. As I do have 10 or so Zippos I’ll give this a 👍 only because if I do own it already I’ll gift my double.

    how odd. i was just looking at my zippos last night (Headstones, Ed x 2), and wondered to myself "I wonder if the Hip ever put out a zippo". 

    if you'd consider selling, I'd be your man.

    Hugh, just checked and I do not have one.  At least not where my HIP stuff is generally kept. If I do come across another one I will definitely reach out to you.

    cool. i know those gifts don't sound like much when compared to the price, but they all seem like very rare/limited items; i don't think anything so far has been or is currently for sale. all purchased separately on the secondary market, it would probably take a long time and money. hopefully there's a couple "bigger ticket" items in there for you, but if not, it's not terrible.

    You’re right Hugh.  I am hoping for something cooler these last few days but thankful for whatever it may be 👍

    I'm sorry, but unless the crate itself is worth $400, this is not adding up.

    I agree Gibson. We’ll see what the last few days bring but overall it’s like a PJ mystery box and keep your fingers crossed hahahaha.  As for the crates PJ charged a 100 dollars for the LP crate and what 50-75 for the smaller one so these crates should be about 150 - 175 total? hahahaha.

    I’m guessing your crate will improve as you get closer to Christmas. Gotta have a nice autographed piece in there. I’m waiting patiently to hear the rest. Good luck

    Day 10) The best smelling vanilla candle I’ve ever smelled.  In a small glass container with a cool Hip logo. That said only 2 days to go :(

    When you buy a chocolate advent calendar it's all regular candy until the 25th, then you get the big one.  Hopefully you get something epic on the last day.

    I like your thinking 😀
    Again not complaining as The HIp has given me more than a crate could accomplish but a Wow gift would be nice hahahahahaha.

    I assume all crates had the same items. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with item 12.

    got my gord downie hat today. man, that was a lot of money for a hat that won't fit. oh well. I wish i had noticed the fine print that she could have sized it to my actual needs. damn. who knows if I ever would have worn it anyway. Guess I'll just get one of those display mannequin heads for the bar.

    Hugh, reach out to Karyn at Lilliput - she seems more than helpful.  I’m still waiting on mine 🤞

    good idea. i just emailed her asking if there's any way to adjust it to make it bigger without ruining it (i have my doubts). but we'll see what she says.
