Aha! This is obviously the continuation of my previous post... 
Happy to report the package was delivered safely and no need for it to be returned back to sender... 
And check out what was inside the package! Those are gifts for my sons - really nice gifts too! 
Each one of them received a nice watch as a gift. It's kinda one-for-all-occasion or lump-sum birthday/graduation/Christmas gifts from my sister to my sons... 
We did not know what was inside the package before we opened it. Yet the first response I received on my previous discussion seemed to predict what it was going to be... @Beatburn response was a reference to Star Wars - and I couldn't stop smiling when the first thing I noticed came out of the package had Star Wars all over the box... 
Oh, Star Wars fans would have fun reading the thread under his response too...

Yay! You made this post sooner than later. Those look like wonderful gifts! How does your boys like them? One of them is more of a star wars fan? Thoughtful gift to get the collab version of the watch!

My brain hurts now from posting so closely between one and another... I may have to rest it up for the rest of the month...
They LOVE them! There are two with the Star Wars theme and two with the leather straps... My sister knows how to keep things fair and square between my four boys...

@infatuatedbby Are you saying it's like exercising? It hurts in the beginning as our body adjusts to it... But the more we do it, the less painful it will be, right?
Had? What happened to it? I hate to think anything would happen to these watches that my sons just received...

What a fabulous and generous gift for each son! Yes, great idea to get them a yearly present when it's as nice as that- Nixon watches are really sought after here too!

@MarymargII Frankly, I have never even heard of the brand before this... Unlike my sister, I'm not very up-to-date with what's in fashion...

@sishy7 Well then she did pretty well with the perfect Star Wars gifts (yay, cousin!). After seeing Rogue One, I did ask Hubby if he thought it would be confusing for someone who didn't see Star Wars (since this was a stand alone film) - and he said yes, it would be confusing. Even though I saw it all, I had to "think" where this piece of Star Wars history fit into the rest of Star Wars . . . it was more apparent for me towards the end. I enjoyed it - hope your sons did too!

Yeah, they did... And they didn't even want to start any discussion with me what the movie was all about after they saw it... They knew I'd be completely lost!
My sister has no idea what Star Wars is - she's worse than me...
I think she had her son helping her which one to choose from for his cousins.

@moffittjc Total coincidence... He was the first to respond as soon as I posted that discussion... I had no idea why his response referred to Star Wars other than that he's a fan... There's nothing on the post that would clue him in - I had no idea at the time what was inside the package...

@sishy7 So that really was a total coincidence, or was there some kind of clue given?

Nice watches. Do people even wear them anymore? I know with me having a phone with the time on it I don't wear one.

Yes, they are... My sister kinda left it up to them to choose which one is for whom... They are equally nice but there are two with the Star Wars theme and two with the leather straps... Luckily my sons are always very good in deciding among each other with things like this... So there were no drama and everyone was just happy with what they got...
