Yes, they were and I got them.  lol.
I got a box from Amazon, with the book "Cravings" which has for short stories by authors I really enjoy. Yes, I do already own it, but my copy is buried in my storage unit 800 miles away. So, this is a welcome copy.  I like re-reading books now and then. Its like replaying a favorite movie. Thanks! Oh, as a btw, I have a wishlist on amazon if you decide you need ideas on something I don't already have.
In my other package, I got:
2 skeins of Fun Fur in Fiji (multi shaded purple, etc). These will be cool. I have made a few things with this in it. You can't do much with it by itself, but you use it with another strand or two of regular yarn and you can make something delightfully 'furry.'
Chop sticks & a fish plate from China.  Fun stuff for the kitchen.
A neat ribbon bookmark that has an angel on one end and a heart on the other.
A dragon that is a zipper pull. Sweet! Contemplating sticking that on my wallet/clutch.
There is also a very cute, handmade book bag (even has a little cloth card wallet that matches). Very cute, and I have tons of books to use it with. I cannot seem to stay away from the bookstore. Hm. Of course, honeybuns doesn't do anything to discourage that... actually he encourages it. I can't seem to walk out of the book shops with less than 3 books. Couple weeks ago I went away with 7 or 8. lol.
Thank you very much! I love them and will have an enjoyable time with it all. Happy September to you also. Big giant hugs!

Actually I just got it yesterday (28th). I think it was at my apartment office for a couple of days as I did not check my mail all weekend. I got a root canal on Thursday and have been suffering horribly since then. Today was the first day I'm feeling almost human again.
So yesterday was a particularly bad day (sorry to be graphic, but I threw up all over myself at work and had to go home early). So coming home to my swap buddies package was a VERY welcome surprise.
This was an amazing box! I received Bath & Body Works items including: a pumpkin shaped bottle of foaming hand soap, a really neat haunted house wallflowers/nightlight, a manicure set (much needed), a big bath pouf, four small bars of homemade goat milk soap (I love homemade soap!) a very pretty nail file and a nice card too. I hope I didn't forget anything. Thank you, Thank you buddy!
