What should I do?

I won £100 to spend at Cafe Press through the 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty competition last year, chose my items by November I think it was, they turned up nice and lovely. Got an email from the lady who dealt with it last week asking me if she'd actually sent them as she couldn't remember, I told her yes, thank you very much. Today, they turned up again!
My question is, should I offer to send them back? Or since its their mistake am I allowed to just keep them? Not sure what the etiquette is here!

Mmmm - tempting this one. But one has to do the right thing. I'd ring or email the woman & tell her, hopefully the lovely woman will tell you to keep the prize0

I think if you're honest they'll probably let you keep them anyway as it will be hassle for you to return!0

I emailed the lady and she said there was a mix up somewhere and to just keep them or give them to family and friends, which was very kind
