OMG! What could this be???

Hi guys - do you remember I told you about my dd winning a Beano iDVD from CITV last week or the week before? We gave it to her classmate's mum to give him for Christmas? You do? Well I contacted CITV to thank them for the prize (which I do with all prizes I get) and told them that she had given it away to her classmate who is autistic.

I just got this email back from them:
Dear Annie,

Thanks for letting us know that Heidi received her prize and was so generous as
to pass it on to her classmate.

We were so impressed by her kindness that we have decided to send Heidi an early
Christmas present! This should be delivered by courier in the next few days.

We hope she likes it!

With warmest wishes,

    Thanks guys. I have no idea what it could be, but the dvd just came through the post. This is coming by courier, so I don't know if that means it's something big.

    I won't say anything to her just yet, I'll see what turns up first:D
    I'll be sure to post what it is when it comes too.
