Secret Santa 2002!

My gift will be hand-delivered tonight.

Can you believe that of all the people doing this, just by lucky dip, I get my own wife? Well, it’s shiny, so I know she’ll like it!

arachnidlove: Yes, and I responded. I am waiting to hear back from you-know-who.

Flashpoint: D’oh! You’d think I’d have noticed that you both had the same address… And I had no idea that you and Gravity were a couple. That’s a good revision to the OP for next year–to let me know if spouses, etc. are both participating.

ohhhhh, rats!
I missed a UPS delivery today. I wonder if it could be frm Santa?!?!?! :smiley:

I hope my giftee received her gift. I haven’t seen a post…
Please post everyone, so we can make sure you get your gifts…

Hands wifey nice little package with big shiny bow and ribbons.

Wifey with huge loving smile unwraps it, frantic with expectation…

Smile fades. Wifey smacks Flashpoint upside t’head with the box and stomps away through the piles of wrapping paper…

What was wifey given???

A mini-Maglight!!! :smiley:

well it IS shiny!

I got my gift, I got my gift :smiley:
I want to save it for Christmas!!!
I can’t do it. I have to open it.
It is wrapped so nice, it would be almost a shame to ruin it.

Thank you Santa! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
I received a lovely coffee mug, or as we say in NJ, “cawffee mug” :smiley: It’s from Louisiana and it’s kicked up a knotch

I am a BIG coffee drinker, so this gift will definetely be put to use. I also love collecting things from other states!
Thank you and Merry Christmas

waaaaaahhh i missed it :frowning:
i cant wait until next yeaarrr! can we have a valentine’s or somethingggg or is there something else similar to this before xmas? sorry i haven’t been around long enough to know

No, no, it’s NOT a mini maglight!

It’s a christmas ball, about 4" across. Gold colored, it’s got leaves and a honeybee, a dragonfly, a ladybug and a butterfly hand painted on it. It’s not shiny so much as glimmery. I love it!

PLUS, I got extra-bonus potholders!

Yay!

To all those who feel left out because they didn’t get to participate in this year’s Secret Santa, have I got a deal for you!
Just send me all those gifts you would have bought. This way, you get to participate and feel better, and I get the warm feeling of helping all of you join in on the festivities.
And lots of presents.:smiley:

It sounds beautiful Gravity!

Glad everyone is enjoying their prezzies. My box of prezzies will be sent out on Monday to my giftee… :slight_smile: Took a while for things to arrive, but she should get it by weeks end. I’m excited for her… I like her prezzies! :smiley:

Mine got here yesterday and I opened it right away this morning after work at 6am since I wasn’t here when it was dropped off otherwise I would of opened it right then!
Thank you thank you thank you WSLer. (yes, I had to peek at that too!)
I got an excuse magic 8 ball which will go right next to my sarcastic magic 8 ball that I got two years ago from my secret santa that year. That is if I can pry it away from my oldest daughter!
I guess it’s a good thing that I got my two oldest girls their own magic 8 balls this year for christmas so maybe they will leave mine be.:smiley:
And Holy Cow it’s Nunzilla!!!
I’m suprised hubby and I didn’t wake the heathens giggling over it. Had to wind it up right away!
I’m debating on whether or not to show Nunzilla to grandma or not since she is a devout catholic. I know I’m going to show mom since she went to catholic schools.

Oh, and I’m still working on my giftees stuff. Should be mailed out by the end of the week.

I got mine yesterday!
I was so happy. I’ve enver gotten anything in the mail before, giftwise.
I never would’ve known who it was from from the postal stamp, but she told me!
Now i will go read all her posts to see what shes like.
Its great!
beautiful earrings and 3 pairs of underwear that are just perfect!
Funny card too.
Thank you woman!

(mine will be sent out Monday)

I sent mine out today. So my person should be getting it in a couple of days. Hope they like it. crosses fingers

I got mine today. Could wait had to open it.

I got a great bubble blowing FROG. Its fantastic.
I also got an eyeball… how neat.

I got a card too. Secret Santa how did you know I liked Edward Gorey. Its wonderful, too.

Thank you…thank you… thank you.

Dan

Just…can’t…wait…any…longer.

Wow! A paint-by-numbers calendar!!This is just too cool for school. Many Thanks, Secret Santa!

I didn’t post a wish list because I wanted to be surprised and I am real easy to please. I never would have thought to ask for something like this, and I must let you know that it just blends in perfectly with my unique decor. Thanks again.

BTW I was suffering a mild identity crisis which has been cleared up.(Thanks TubaDiva!)

I finally got around to buying my gift today.
I’ll send it first thing Monday morning.
If I find the cash, I’ll send it Overnight, Guaranteed.
You should get it well before Xmas.
Hope you find it enjoyable.
I’ll also enclose the receipt so in the event you need to exchange it, you can.
It may not be to everyone’s taste.

I bought my gift yesterday, and I gotta wrap it and put it inna box and address it (hope I didn’t lose the addy) and stop by the P.O. tomorrow and mail it.

whew

I think it’s good, though.

Gift is all wrapped, boxed, and addressed. I’ll swing by the post office tomorrow on my way home, and it shall go out Priority mail. It doesn’t have all that far to go, but I want to make sure it goes promptly.

I got my gift, and I was determined to wait until Christmas to open it. I think I got it on Tuesday…[sub]I’d like to say Monday just to make it look like I have more willpower than I HAVE, but…I really do think it was Tuesday.[/sub] I lasted until Wednesday and then I ripped it open with all the energy I could muster after a long day’s work. And it took some doing, too…my SS taped it up REALLY well!

I got candles! Wonderful, natural scented candles just the way I like, with a beautiful candle holder too. She even sent matches! What a girl!

Erika, I LOVE CANDLES and these are GREAT! and I like the snowflake candle holder, too…makes my living room look all wintery.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :slight_smile:

In other news, I mailed mine Friday and my SS giftee should be getting it early next week. YAY!!! I’m EARLY this year!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Much Love,

Cheri

This is my first year involved with the Secretsanta, and I have enjoyed it very much. Just a quick question. After reading the thread, I see most people know who their secretsanta was. Was I supposed to sign the card with my username (I signed secretsanta). Now I feel like maybe I should fess up. Should I??

thanks, Trish (the confused) :slight_smile:

I got my package Saturday. I didn’t even attempt to wait until Christmas to open it. It’s coffee!!! Whoever you are, I love you! Ok, not really, but I really, really like it. I’m saving it for Christmas because my best friend loves hazlenut coffee and my boyfriend wants the swiss chocolate almond. My favorite is irish cream, so your choices were perfect.

I bought my gift on Saturday. I’m so glad I was forced to wait to shop for it because I think it’s really cool. I’m shipping it on Wednesday; he/she/it will have it by the 24th. I promise!
