The unknown looks like a clutch spline tool with a bolt stuffed in its bum. Maybe the previous owner broke the finger ring?

Fancy blue dress shirt 2 sets of used brake pads (I think that might be a theme this year) What I'm guessing are ceramic pipe clamps from IKEA regular hose clamps 2 1/8" hole saw magnetic bowl for nuts and bolts A large murder weapon small carburetor The postal service must love us!
Thank you secret Satan!
K-Bar knife? Nice score! 
Loving these hauls, this game is the best. I won't see mine till after Christmas now, I'm heading off to see family. I'll keep an eye on the fun here though.
So I'm about half an hour off walking out the front door when a man arrives with a suspect looking parcel.
I got loot! I could help but open and inspect my goodies before leaving.
I got the following.
A set of metric combination spanners
A 25ft tape measure
A set of sunglasses in an American airlines case
A map of north Carolina
2 bottle openers, 1 made from a piece Of old chain sprocket
A cool bike cut out
Some chain link art
A pair of tiny s biners
A Raleigh pin/badge
2 hotwheels cars (a BMW 2002 and a Porsche 934 turbo rsr)
$1.25 usd (a dollar and a quarter)
A pair of tie down straps
A pen from a medical company
A folding fan or Frisbee from Harris teeter
And stickers, oh so many stickers. mostly bike and grm related.
Thank you so much secret Santa! You rock. Awesome!
(I take no responsibility and apologise profusely for the potatoesque images above, my phone is almost stuffed. I'll replace them when I get back home)
Glad you got your stuff before your trip daeman! 
Am I the only one E36 M3ting bricks because I think my package arrived but it hasn't been posted? I was sort of worried when I sent it that it might rip open in transit, now I wish I'd packed it better for peace of mind.

Nope, you aren't the only one.
In reply to EvanB:
Well, receiving parties may be traveling or something, so the packages may be safe and sound but waiting on their owner.
That's what I figured.

Nope not alone. 
Thanks east cost ;).
Meanwhile im kickinf myself, I've left the tracking number for what I sent at home. Last place I saw it was new York, so it should be arriving in the next 2 or 3 days.
Now that I have a moment to type in peace, I will add some background for some of the items I sent.
A set of metric combination spanners, 25ft tape measure, ratchet straps - I'm not sure if you have Harbor Freight down under, but that is the finest chinese made spanner set you can buy for $6.
A set of sunglasses in an American airlines case - I got these for free but I have plenty of sunglasses. There's another set of lenses tucked in the pocket of the case.
A map of north Carolina - just in case you go walkabout over here.
2 bottle openers, 1 made from a piece Of old chain sprocket - I made that one about 10 years ago. I still have the rest of that chainring hanging in the garage.
A cool bike cut out - I got this for free from a small CNC company at the Interbike show back in '96.
Some chain link art - I made these, I think the star would make a great Christmas ornamen. The keychain just kind of happened by accident, but feels good in the hand. Too heavy for car keys in my opinion.
A pair of tiny s biners - these are very damn handy.
A Raleigh pin/badge - That's where I call home
$1.25 usd (a dollar and a quarter) - not sure if you collect coins or not. The Susan B Anthony dollar and Bicentennial quarter. Not necessarily worth any more than $1.25, but not often seen in regular circulation any more.
A pen from a medical company - this is the heaviest and best writing free pen I have ever had. I liked it so much I bought a few off ebay.
A folding fan or Frisbee from Harris teeter - works best as a fan, takes practice to get it back in the little bag though.
And stickers, oh so many stickers - bike stickers mostly 10-20 years old, from the great stash hidden away in the file cabinet.
Enjoy!
I received a notification of an attempt to deliver a package when I got home. I hope to pick it up tomorrow.

Wow, the Kimball Midwest super gift basket!

In reply to 1kris06:
I think your unknown black object (giggle) is a 7-pin to 4-pin trailer wiring adaptater for plugging in a trailer with the flat four connector into a truck with the round rv-style plug.
Sorry for the delay in posting pictures! I received my box o' goodness at least a week ago.
On to the pics:
As my wrenching knowledge is quite limited, most of these items are a mystery to me. Nevertheless, this has been great fun!
In reply to dyintorace:
Psst... the Dreamcast has a game in it!
I'll tell you what the other stuff is if you want, or we can let GRM try to ID it.
Whoa. A dreamcast.
What! Re gift dreamcast to mees!?
In reply to DuctTape&Bondo:
Glad you can put it to use. I figured I would throw in the piston since that was a theme last year and I also nailed the metal putty theme this year!
This is looking like lots of fun! I could really get on board shipping out obscure parts / items from here! Watching this with great interest, maybe I can join in one day.
I got lots of cool Aussie stuffs!
I picked up a suspicious looking lumpy bag from the post office this morning, and could hardly wait to check out it's contents. In no particular order, I got:
A NSW License Plate - (this is so cool, and I almost sent you an NC license plate, but I was worried about the package getting held up in customs if they could not easily xray it.)
Holden Commodore badge set
Australian made Stanley 12mm chisel and vintage box cutter
Aussie made Sidchrome 17mm combo spanner/12pt box end wrench and 18/19mm combo spanner
A very unusual and unbranded articulating 12pt 3/8 & 7/16 combo socket wrench - (I am thinking this is possibly a motorcycle specific wrench, it looks like it is designed to fit onto a pair of pegs to keep it in place while traveling)
Aussie made Lockwood brass padlock with key, plus bonus assorted random keys
Another vintage box cutter
Burly parts washer gloves
NGK spark plug - looks to be motorcycle and possibly small equipment spec
Nissan points kit
1 sleeve of heat-shrink wire wrap
Assorted candy bars
Vegemite - (I am excited to try this with my breakfast toast tomorrow)
A weighted Räzo billet shift knob
Key chain from Able Hire
Bosch bottle and can opener - (very handy this is going right in my camping pack)
Set of earplugs
Sydney lapel pin (great minds think alike)
Two beer cozies
1000 Hour welding hood lens replacement - also made in Australia
Street Machine mag (244 page monster issue - awesome)
K&N and FBI 94.5FM stickers
Assorted cool business cards
and last but not least, a very cool Bundaberg bottle cap that is shaped a lot like a goat skull with horns, and looks like it is designed so that it makes this shape when you pull the tab to open it.
Unpacking my treasures was so much fun! Very, very cool stuff. Thank you daeman! Cheers!
In reply to EastCoastMojo:
That's some really cool stuff right there!
Nice haul! Are those rubber gloves for handling the Vegemite?
