Quite unexpectedly, I received this iPad wallet from VS in the post today.

It's actually really good quality, from Shinola: http://www.shinola.com/shop/leather/env ... FOR%20iPAD

... and useful too!

Thanks, VS!

Very nice. Good to see VS recognising and rewarding its high value customers. My iPad case came curtesy of Amazon and cost £14.99. Enjoy your gift

Brilliant, well done VS for the recognition.

Very, very nice

As the letter opens with Happy Holidays I assume these festive gifts that pop up every now and again are aimed solely at their USA based AU members.

If not, then I've been missed out again Was it something I said?

I know, right!? It's always very pleasant to get any gift, but I was genuinely surprised by the quality!

I think it is a US-based thing, yes. I notice it was mailed from Connecticut. Keep in mind the gift is also promotional in a sense: Shinola is a Detroit-based company, and the letter reminds me that VS begin their DTW route in 2015 (which I fully plan on using, as I have a bunch of work coming up in Ann Arbor)

My dad had an army phrase about not knowing something from Shinola...now, what was it

Nice present though...

I haven't heard (i.e. thought about) that phrase in ages. It just rolls off the tongue, that one!

And they STILL make the, ahem, brown shoe polish, to which I think that phrase relates: http://www.shinola.com/shop/black-shoe-polish.html

Well done you and good to see VS are also doing this in the US......interestingly your letter and gift are from SRB as I would guess Craig isn't too well know in the US despite being American!

That said....I received a gift about a week ago which was well received. It was of the drinking variety and not something found onboard which was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. It arrived by courier and was packaged really well and had a lovely note inside.

One of several gifts this year so I must have been very lucky Loyalty secured for another year- well done VS

Happy Christmas everyone wherever you are in the World!

Oh, very nice! Good for you and good for VS! I know it's a relatively small thing for the airline, but it really does make me want to stick with VS, even when things go awry.

Happy Christmas/Holidays/Festivities, depending on where everyone is in the world!

And you too Nylon

I got a card from VS this morning containing a Gold balloon and 2000 air miles for my upcoming birthday (big 40 Jan 06th)

Absolutely does

Just received mine this morning. I rather like it and it will be replacing my current iPad cover.

Nice! I assume yours is red too, Fabflygirl?
