Saturday Night Live star Cecily Strong took to social media to gosh over the care package she received from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer after portraying the governor in a sketch a week ago.

"Got a giant and gorgeous Michigan care package sent to New York courtesy of that super cool woman from Michigan," Strong wrote on Instagram this weekend. "Thank you @gewhitmer !!! Honestly, this blew me away!"

The package included an array of Michigan beers from Bell's Brewery, plus a few other Michigan items. In the sketch, Strong drank a Labatt Blue, which Whitmer previously said she would have switched out for a Michigan beer.

Check out the care package below.
