I'm sure you did try but you were still saying one thing and delivering another - that's what caused me to cancel. Had a typical package been shown then I would have either subscribed with my eyes wide open or not done so. I feel I was sold something which didn't quite exist despite your best efforts. Size - it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it :) The Goatse stickers were a mistake though. My girls use the net. They know know something even I would prefer they didn't just yet. Still... I cancelled but the second sub had gone in. I said that I could have a refund or a second package. Thor responded very quickly and it'll be a second package. If I like it and want to continue I'll blog it :) What I meant about the spanner was that I expected better from a company like Six Apart.

We worked hard to put together the best packages we could, and there's a chance that future packages will contain about this much stuff. We can only send you want other companies want to share, and future packages might be about this size. The thing that really baffles me is this: "why should I promote another company, especially when their spanner is bendy? I’ll try to open a bottle with it maybe. Why a spanner too?" The whole point of schwag is that it is promotional. The keychain is the Movable Type logo - if you want a real spanner you'll do much better at the hardware store. I hate to say this, but if you're looking for items without company logos on them you might never be happy with Valleyschwag. :) Wow, it sounds like you really aren’t happy with your package.
