Secret Santa 2011

I think it’d be pretty cool to unexpectedly get something fom old stomping ground!

I am!

Trying to think of something guilt inducing to say. I’m Jewish, this should be easy…
Aha: (said in a Yiddish accent)

I don’t have a present yet, and you deprive me the pleasure of watching you?

:smiley:

add to the end:

YOU WANT I SHOULD PLOTZ??

What the hell are you apologizing for?** I. Like. It.** It reminds me of my origins, and it fit the preferences I posted: fun, funky, and related to the area you’re from.

Humm, well since the original sign up my Santa has posted nothing. So either the gift has not arrived yet, or it arrived and was promptly thrown out/regifted (although I did select items directly off the wish list) or my Santa has been abducted by aliens.

In other news, I also have received nothing so I guess it’s even at least.

I’ll start following up on the AWOL Santas/Santees early next week. Rest assured that no one goes orphaned when I’m running the Secret Santa.

Nothing here yet.

God I can’t believe Xmas is Sunday. I know people say this every year, but SERIOUSLY how did the year go so fast?

Yay - my parcel has arrived! Some lovely fluffy socks and a very sweet doggie card! Thanks Santa!

My gift came!!!

Angry Birds (socks) and Happy Birds (stationary)! Two of my favorite things! Love it!

Thank you Hockey Monkey!

I got home to a “sorry we missed ya” note from USPS. Sender was listed as “Japan.” So … stopping by the P.O. today! Thank you, “Japan!”:smiley: It made it in time!

Oh, go on - open yours!

Whee! My secret santa package has arrived!! I have not opened it just yet, though. We’ll see if I can hold out until Sunday, I guess. LOL Thank you thank you thank you!! :slight_smile:

Merry Christmas!!!

Oooooh, good! That box has been sitting on the dining room–

ahh screw it, can’t wait anymore.

OMG OMG OMG!!!
Lucky Charms (Tokyo black market street value: $35)!! I’ve got cold milk at the ready!
Not one but TWO jars of ecstasy bread and butter slabs!! Poof! Disappeared right into the fridge! (hrm, would they chill faster in the freezer? Naw, can’t risk impacting deliciousness)
Bread and butter meth lab starter kit mixes (who knew they even existed?) so I can make my own!!
Tasty candy canes (not one broken! no tinkling!)
Tasty twix/peanut butter cups that jumped into my gaping maw practically unwrapped!
And the partridge in the pear tree, Lindt DARK CHOCO with effing SEA SALT flavor? My two favorite flavors went and created a love child!

OMG OMG OMG OMG! Just send my gift to you back to J-land. It’s not worthy!!!

Who woulda guessed Santa is actually a nice married lady in her 30s from Texas? Thank you Santa! :smiley:

Yay! My Secret Santa gifty showed up in the “Nick” of time :smiley:

I quickly overwrapped it & did NOT look to see who had sent it, so I’ll have yet another surprise on Christmas morn :slight_smile:

Thanks so much in advance …

Still waiting for my package, but at least I know it’s on the way.

It was harder than I thought to put together something for a stranger, so I went for useful. Thank you for liking your gift.

Whew! So glad it made it before you left. I ordered the socks the day we got out giftee names and they didn’t come till Monday! I liked those because they look like normal socks till you take your shoes off. I wouldn’t be able to resist kicking at things and making explody noises all day if I had them on. I’m glad you liked the stationary too! I didn’t purposefully set out to do a bird theme, it just kinda happened. Have a great vacation!

Woohoo! Got my package yesterday and ripped it open posthaste! hocow sent be adorable pink socks with magenta snowflakes, a beautiful coffee mug (looks very Japanese), and some delicious-looking chocolatey treats. Thank you!

Woo-hoo! Just got home to a package on the doorstep. Being a paragon of maturity, I ripped it open straight away and found several personalized bookmarks, a very nice card, and LUSH BATH PRODUCTS. I’m going to be smelling very fancy tomorrow, thanks to twickster!

I love it, thank you so much! Oh, and my husband, the ebay seller, thanks you for the bag of packing peanuts.

Very nice! I just discovered Lush. I never went in the store because the stench coming from it made me gag. Come to find out, the smell is only revolting in the mall! I love the smell of the grass bath soap but I was responsible and sent it to my sister instead of keeping it for myself.

OMG Shirley Ujest, THANK YOU! I finally tore open my boxes:
A plush turtle-shaped pillow. Which the Rottweiler thought was a dog toy so I hid it on my bed - he’s now shredding the box.
Really yummy lemon cream lotion.
I LOVE the glass turtle! It may go in one of my outdoor planters come summer.
And the sock monkey is supposed to be for the dogs but he’s so cute I have him sitting on the shelf over the computer monitor.

Thank you so much, these are all lovely!
Merry Christmas!
