SDMB Christmas Exchange 2012

I got my package yesterday and couldn’t wait to open it til Christmas sooo…

OMG SO MANY KANSAS ITEMS!

I got some great Kansas themed pamphlets, a shotglass, a historic newspaper (that I have yet to read, but I think people died), some yummy chocolate sunflower seeds and two pens that I can add to my collection.

There was third pen in there as well, a really small one that seemed to be made of a cool, almost ivory type covering…I could be wrong about this but I’m assuming that it’s a historic pen? Cuz if that’s the case that’s my first historic pen and I LOVE it!!

Thank you thank you!

Presents procured, wrapped, and ready for carrier pickup. Expected delivery on Wednesday. :slight_smile:

Glad it made it there!

Surly Chick, my son and I finished off the last bit of your gift…we thoroughly enjoyed popping all the bubble wrap that was wrapped around the mug you sent. Thanks again!

Ah, yes, that reminds me - my giftee got some bubble wrap therapy as well, both the little AND the big bubbles. (Didn’t know which kind you prefer. :smiley: )

Package Received! Will not open until Christmas. Thanks Santa!

And…Anaamika! That’s right, I got my gift today. I had a lot of errands, so I brought it inside and left it until just now, and it was perfect - I really needed a pick me up after today. I have exactly zero patience, so I opened mine and…

it is the NEATEST THING…

An OCTOPUS bracelet. I LOVE octopi. They are incredibly intelligent. I think it is just the cutest thing…so cute in fact that I had to post some pictures:

On my wrist (don’t mind my messy desk)

So thank you very much, Purplehorseshoe! Thank you also for the gum, “happy gum for your crappy life” and spicy cinnamon gum.

Please let me know if the lists above need to be updated. It is not the 17th, so if you haven’t shipped your gift, please ship it as soon as possible.

I’ve also been asked to inform **Septima **that your gift is on the way and should be there any day now.

Now I am off to pop some of my bubble wrap. Pop. Pop. POP!

Couldn’t access your photos, 'Mika. :frowning:

Just returned from the P.O. Santa sent his gift priority mail, and the guy at the P.O. said the package should arrive by Christmas.

Should be public now!

You’re welcome! :slight_smile: Glad you liked it - I’ve never met you, but when I saw it, for some reason it jumped out at me as being for you. Holy crap, that got to you fast! voiceover “The U.S. Postal Service. Saving procrastinators’ asses since 1775.”

I got mine and it’s from Italy cuz it has stickers that say fra-gee-lee on it! I don’t think it’s a tiny leg lamp, though.

Package received! I got a handmade wire-wrap ring with an orange bead, but I don’t know who it’s from. I may have to paint my nails to match it! Thank you, Santa!

Still telling me I don’t have access to the page.

Hurrah! I got my package today from Sir T-Cups! I behaved myself and didn’t open it yet though :slight_smile: I am saving it for Christmas, but thank you very much ahead of time!

: inquisitive look :

Just sent mine today. Ended up ordering it from amazon because I haven’t had time to get to the post office so now I have an extra to give to someone else! Two-day shipping so it will hopefully arrive before Christmas.

That worked, thanks! What a cool bracelet!

Ok tardy Santa just got the package to the post office now, but it is expected to arrive Christmas Eve!

Mine just went in the mail today, and I fear it will not make it to my Santee by Christmas :frowning: , but I hope a late arrival will simply prolong the merriment.

I checked the tracking and my giftee’s package was delivered yesterday. Quicker than I expected. :wink:

I see a post from my giftee that they are waiting till Christmas to open. Glad they got it ok.
