top row: 2012 Touring Van, Rockerz Red Carpet (which matches the ‘mystery item’ advertised as the Road Trip prize – not sure if it will be give along with the van or how it will work yet), May Birthstone Gem Lamp, and Kinz Air Hand Washing Station. bottom row: Mother’s Day Buttercups Plant, Mother’s Day Potted Tiger Lily, and Mother’s Day Floral Bouquet. Since the other “Kinz Air” items are eStore, the Hand Washing Station may be a prize of some sort.

Next are items that are NON-SENDABLE! These are most likely eStore items. This is the “Cruise Ship” Wallpaper and Flooring…
