I received a gold box with a tin of these cookies in them for Christmas! :P<BR/><BR/>BTW...the Neiman Marcus stores in North America DO NOT accept Mastercard or Visa. Bergdorf Goodman, and the Neiman Marcus here in Hawaii, DO.

I did go to Neiman once (to buy Yoku Moku cookies as gifts) but they don't take Visa or MC so I had to leave since I don't carry Amex nor a Neiman card. What store in America doesn't take Visa or MC?
