\"MomeThat Lucky Girl<\/a> is a fan of Alice in Wonderland<\/I>, so for her birthday her boyfriend made her a “Wonderland Expedition Kit<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

In 1867 a biology professor was sent to investigate a mysterious fire at the Liddell household. This kit is full of samples and documentation from the final known trip down the rabbit hole.<\/p>\n

Included in the kit:
\n-Card Guard specimen, mounted
\n-fetal Mome Rath
\n-caterpillar, preserved
\n-rose painted red
\n-raven’s feather (like a writing desk?)
\n-pocket watch
\n-key
\n-looking glass
\n-Cheshire Cat teeth
\n-Cheshire Cat fur samples
\n-framed photo of Lewis Carroll
\n-various photos of Wonderland inhabitants
\n-Eat Me and Drink Me bottles
\n-vial of water from Pool of Tears
\n-bottled mushroom bits, one from each side
\n-map of nonsense occurrences in England, leading to rabbit hole
\n-map of Wonderland
\n-typed copy of “You Are Old, Father William”
\n-typed letter from Professor Lake, detailing his journey to England
\n-half-burned print of the courtroom scene (removed from the scorched remains of the Liddell house)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s some true devotion right there.<\/p>\n

The entire kit is simply wonderful; I love all the thoughtful little details.<\/p>\n
