I didnt get any original stuff altho I did get a couple of really nicely packaged MMs. One had a wine bottle in the middle of a sectioned plastic tray filled with small meringues and candies and the other was a vase filled with food.
My mum got a breakfast tray with milk, croissants etc an she really appreciated it as she had just returned from abroad and didnt have anything for breakfast!

It is just a term used after something is over when you look and see how it went. My sense of humor is a bit wacked today after overdosing on junk food and underdosing on sleep.
But it is in the dictionary:
Postmortem: Informal. An analysis or review of a finished event.

I noticed at my causins house, the daughter received a hot-dog, bun, pickle, relish and a coke!

(We personally don't eat from anyone that sends us food out of a package ie: no baked goods etc)

a glass fishbowl, with colored 'rocks' that are actually chocolate, three jelly fish on toothpicks attached to styrofoam, two plastic sea creatures, and a piece of greenery too.

this actually came second to mine-but them I'm a meshugena when it comes to purim-with a theme that includes costumes (for the whole family), with matching shalach manos and a poem to tie it all together.

2 more interesting ones: "have a grape purim" with grapes, grape juice, and grape nosh.

"have a corny purim" with popcorn,, corn chips and candy corn in a popcorn bag.

our school had a theme. the 7 days of creation and 7 years since the school started. cant remeber what was in it but things like a bottle of water, ladybird chocolates, sun and moon chocolates, tuna fish, seeds, kidddish cup. very cute idea.

also my freind made us a really cute plate of cakes homemade really proffessional.

cutting board, cheese knife, fancy chunk of cheese and bottle of wine.

"Drunken Donuts"

Sunflower theme: real flower pot with chocolate cake ontop representing dirt. Under cake (inside pot): sunflower seeds, mini bottle of water and bag of gummy worms. Picture of their baby dressed up as sunflower sticking out of the top of MM.

I got one that had a tag in a shape of a sombrero (don't know how to spell it) that read, " Happy Purim Amigos". Inside was a big bad of corn chips, jar of salsa, jar of olives, a big bottle of Corona beer and maracas (mexican musical instrument)
