Yes, it's coming to me.

I called my neighbor to let her know but she's busy w/ term paper so will
receive the bad news when she calls back later.

The starter set will get the free gift wrap, so that would have to be undone
carefully. Then, there's the matter of the tea - I don't do Yunnan or Irish
Breakfast so the labels wouldn't match the contents. A 4 oz tin of Irish
Breakfast is included in my Pot of Gold set, so that'll work if it isn't
stale. I ordered it for the tin since the price is the same as the teapot
w/o the tea.

Another option is to change the order (it went in late Fri. so, there's a
chance that it hasn't been filled) to only the teapot + different samples
from Adagio (a high risk at this point) or from Upton.

Other ideas?
