How to make a volunteer happy

One of my housemates has recently returned to Malawi from a trip to the UK, she brought back loads of goodies for me, and also

and this was not all of it
this should keep us going for a little while. It is not that you can't get cheese here, but the cheese we can afford to buy is of the plastic cheddar variety, a decent bit of cheese requires a mortgage being taken out, and as we are volunteers I fear the bank will think we are not a good risk.
Not only did the huge amount of cheese come back with her, but on hearing of my tragic tale of woe regarding rodent activity, to my utter amazement and delight, not one but two bags of giant chocolate buttons were in the Mary Poppins suitcase as well.
