I'm so thrilled, and so annoyed! I decided to send my mom C&C (v1 and 2 omnibus, and v3.1) and the Member's Handbook without any notice or explanation. I was hoping the handbook would set the scene of her being inducted into a secret society, and the paper being the member news. She just texted me (I blacked out her address in the pic, and the package was addressed to Greta Gallowtree, her online persona): "This arrived in the mail today, I know I did not order it, did you? It's addressed to Greta Gallowtree but I never use that name to order things. Peculiar." I wrote back, "Peculiar indeed... " She said "There was no mysterious white powder in it so I figure it's safe to handle." She noticed the address was from Niagra Falls (and immediately jumped to the package being of Canadian origin, she's too damn smart!) and "the Canadian cult town that was advertising for new residents" she refers to is this: cbiftrumpwins.com/#intro (she has mused that the town is secretly full of vampires trying to lure fresh victims... she's not crazy, just fun XD). But then this happened... Nooooo! Damn you (and bless you), Google! So I told her to UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES Google "Curios and Conundrums," or else she would get no more presents. She agreed, and when I called her, she was over the moon thrilled. She said the newspapers felt (and smelled) really authentic, like it was printed before soy ink (even though it's prob soy, but who knows). She did admit she found the Filigree Kickstarter that I backed and will be sending to her, but thankfully it was all redacted today. So I told her to read v1.1 and do the crossword before she looks at the other papers. The games begin!

You are off to a great start, it would seem! I do not envy you the task of curbing her curiosity until next year. Tell her to take good care of that Membership Handbook - if I recall right, in the future the Handbook will be embossed with the current logo instead of the more old-fashioned one seen there.
So what will be next? Gather a few friends and throw her into the back of a windowless carriage, drive her to a dimly lit undisclosed Location and demand she join the Company, now that she knows our secrets?
