A giant head of The Grand Tour co-host, James May, made its way to one lucky competition winner in Elstead on Friday.
Amazon launched a competition for people to tweet about their gardens with the hashtag #GiveMeHeads, with winners then picked at random.
Laura Norgate, from Elstead, was the first person in the county to receive the giant head and said she was over the moon with her latest garden decor.
She said: "I never thought I'd hear the sentence 'I'm receiving James May's giant head' but nevertheless I'm looking forward to it.
"I've been out tidying the garden up to get ready. It's great isn't it."
Ms Norgate has loved hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May since their days on BBC show Top Gear and whenever they are on the screen.
It even allowed her son Bradley to be silent for an hour.
She said: "He must have been about three at the time and really wanted to watch because he just loves cars, so I said he can but he must be quiet. He was silent.
"I think they're great, three guys who work well with each other and their humour is brilliant."
As Ms Norgate prepared her garden for the new arrival, she decided to get creative when washing her driveway too by making out the logo of the Amazon Prime Video show.
"I was cleaning the garden and decided to draw the logo with the power washer as I was cleaning the drive," she said.
"I was quite happy how it came out."

Amazon decided to run the competition as a thank you following the success of The Grand Tour.
The three competition winners are allowed to have the heads for two weeks but can have it for longer if they wish.
Competition winners also received Amazon Echo, Grand Tour souvenirs including a shirt and Amazon Fire TV stick.
The statue heads have previously been spotted around the world including in Amsterdam, Seattle and Sydney.
