Thank you to everybody who tried to guess mediums for the last three years’ holiday ornaments from my story.
The medium for 2015 proved to be the easiest to recognize. It was a spoon. Though I threw you a curve: there were two metal spoons and a wooden one.

2014th medium was harder but two people recognized old wooden clothes pins.

And 2013 proved to be the hardest: only one reader – Lisa Plum – has recognized sand dollars.

Now to the giveaway results. Since it was a Christmas draw and there were more prizes than contenders, everybody gets their wishes granted – one way or the other.
pats133 gets Jo Malone’s Peony & Blush Suede
Since two commenters requested Serge Lutens’ Chergui, I’ve solicited Rusty’s help to choose to whose home the mini-bottle will go. Five minutes and two scratches later (I wasn’t fast enough to move my fingers away from his claws), we had a winner:
Lindaloo
But have I mentioned it was a Christmas draw? Lisa Plum gets a 5 ml decant from my bottle of Chergui.
All the winners: please send me your shipping addresses.
Images: all my own but a sand dollar’s one (can’t find credits).
Undina's Looking Glass 
Dear Ms Undina – WOW – thank you so much :-) – i have just noticed that i am one of your lucky winners. I have been in a foul mood because of car troubles yesterday and today, so reading this has turned my frown upside down. :-) Now, perhaps i am being stupid, but i cant see an email address for you so that i can send my postal details, I don’t want to post them in a comment. Can you advise please.
