Wow, yet another amazing PikaPackage.
I kinda had to do a ‘top 5’ as I’m too indecisive a person to just go for one. So…

ZukZuk’s bear hug print has such beautiful colours;
Susan Estelle Kwas’ wolf girl gocco cards just slay me;
The WonderThunder mini octopus plushes are the sort of thing I’d pretend I was buying for my niece but secretly keep for myself they’re that cute;
Multiple Personality’s ‘just be quiet’ print is one I’ve had in my etsy favourites list for too long to have not snapped its beauty up by now;
Sarah Gardner’s ‘Your Fan’ print is all the encouragement and comfort anybody could wish for.
