SDMB Secret Santa Gift Exchange 2016

The final piece of mine is supposed to be delivered today. If that’s the case, it will be in the mail tomorrow (and I’ll post once it goes out).

The final part of my gift came, so my package is winging its way to my Santee. Please open it as soon as it shows up - don’t wait for Christmas.

Mine arrived today! Since I’ll be traveling on Christmas, I went ahead and opened it. Thanks, Santa!

I got an awesome coffee mug (big! That’s very important) and two flavors of coffee. A pair of reindeer socks, which will be perfect for Christmas socks. There was a bowl cozy, which I had never heard of, but find surprisingly delightful because if you knew how many times I’ve wished for something like it… and what I’m 99% sure is a coffee cup sleeve in the same fabric. Then, there is a small jar of spiced peach preserves. Perfect for Georgia!

Last, but not least, a cat toy. Velcro says thanks too!

Yay! I’m so glad it arrived. I’m also glad you like them.

Oops, I forgot to include the card…You’re welcome. :slight_smile:

The jam, bowl cozy and cup sleeve are homemade. Hope you enjoy it all.

The package to my giftee was delivered today! What did we do before package tracking? Wait and hope? Blech! I love package tracking!!!

Finally sent mine out today! I hope it makes it across the pond in time for Chrsitmas! :slight_smile:

Very cool, thanks! I need to remember to bring the cup sleeve to work, since that’s mostly where I’m likely to drink coffee that needs one!

Also, I’m still waiting for the last piece of mine to show up so I can send. Stupid UPS surepost. :stuck_out_tongue: I’ve got the box all ready to go but for that. Luckily, I’m not sending internationally, so it should make it on time.

And here’s a picture of the cats. I initially thought the second-smallest one was the final one, but then I realized that it opened to reveal an impossibly-tiny cat!

OMG! Those are adorable!

Mine got sent out yesterday. I’ll update the lists tonight when I am at the computer.

I received a package, but the Doper name wasn’t on the outside, so I don’t know who sent it. I will find out, I reckon, when I open it on Christmas day!

My package went in the mail today. It’s supposed to arrive Monday.

I shipped mine today - it’s scheduled to arrive Monday!

Shipped mine yesterday afternoon!

Fed ex picked up the package last night, heading for the place yellow roses grow.

Yay! I got a package! It’s from Emily G! Rip, tear

Squeee! Inside a lovely wooden box that she painted herself(red and green, (holiday appropriate) are chocolate Canadian coins. As I type there are actually two coins less than she sent, mmmmmmmm. And there’s a teeny, weeny, itsy bitsy cooky cutter…of a dachshund! My Nathan will either expect mini dog biscuits, or cookies. He’s not picky!

Today is my sixth anniversary with Nathan. I signed the papers at the shelter on 12/16, and took him home from the vet the next day, after having him neutered.

The box is lovely, with a little gold latch. I’ll be able to keep small keepsakes in it.

Thank you so much for being Santa, Emily G! I love it all.

Oh shoot, in addition to the chocolate coins there are some tasty, choclate mints as well. Let them out of the previous post.

So glad you like your presents, Baker. :smiley: :smiley:

Well, it’s been a rough week in my household and unfortunately, my package that was supposed to be mailed Monday is still on the dining room table. My giftee is overseas and may not receive by Christmas. I will see what the post office says tomorrow when it is actually posted. Apologies in advance. :frowning:
