For those who haven't done mendhi before, you apply this thick dark henna paste and leave it until it dries...then you scrape off the paste, and the dyes gradually darken over the next 24-ish hours. It lasts a few days to a week usually...maybe longer, depending on where the "tatoos" are. Hands and feet get and stay darker longer I guess.

What was the gift that you two are laughing at? Fruit?
Our hostess wanted pics of present opening...so we had to stage opening them again for her (hense the over-exaggerated "surprise"). The one is indeed fruit - handknit, stuffed baby fruit :)
