The MINI Adventure Field Kit
Many thanks to MINI USA and Herb Chambers MINI … pretty sure that this kit that arrived in the mail this week is intended for new MINI owners - but no complaints at all if I get chosen to receive one 
The kit (really a welcome kit) includes some items I’ve seen before, and some new ones - like the logo’ed MINI journal:
If you can find it (!), there’s even a Top Secret envelope - which contains the same as the 2006 Awesomeness Of Small campaign:
(of course, I doubt these decoders are much use now, since the adverts presumably don’t still run!)
The kit includes a rolled up Window Poetry tube (you can see it top left above) - which I didn’t want to unwrap! The description sounds like cling messages - so has anyone unwrapped theirs and taken pictures?

Almost 1 month since we took the Clubman home and no “welcome kits” in the mail yet.

Took a couple months for mine to arrive. I think they send them out in waves. I hope we get to do something with the decoder.

there are supposedly magazine ads from mini that you need the decoder to read a secret message. sadly, as a consequence of buying my mini used, i didn’t get any welcome kits.
the only little “gift” that the previous owner left for me was the highway bingo. and a charging wire sticking out of the dash that goes to i-have-no-clue-what-device.
