An Early Christmas

This year Hubby and I are off to NZ to spend Christmas with my family.  Due to work commitments I have not spent Christmas with my family for 8 or 9 years, a long time between drinks so to speak, so you can imagine how excited I am. 
This will also be the first time in a year or so that my mum, dad brothers and I are all together as someone has always been away working or living overseas.
So since we are away for Christmas we had an early Christmas with Hubby's parents, brother and soon to be sister in law (SIL).    We went out for lunch at a restaurant and took along our gifts to exchange.  And let me tell you both hubby and I were very perplexed about what it was that my BIL and SIL were giving me.  Hubby was told to bring an eskie and some chiller bricks and was told not to ask questions just do it.

So my three wrapped pressies arrived at the table in an insulated picnic pack and I was very curious to see what it was that would need to be kept cold.  All sorts of things were running through my head, food that needed to be kept cold, some kind of plant that needed to keep out of the heat of the car an animal like goldfish or a hermit crab...  Yep by now my mind had wandered off the road and into the obscure because clearly you do not gift wrap pets.

Now the challenge, and even if you do not know me personally you are just as likely to guess correctly as some one who does... Can you guess what my gift was?

I will post the answer with photo tomorrow
