Secret Santa 2008- Gifts Received!

Escrime · Kate Spade

This is a repost because I put it in the wrong thread.

I just got my present from nunzi, and it is awesome. :) She got me some gloves that leave my fingers free to write while flying and some yummy rice krispy treats, as well as a cute bag I can use for my trip to Hawaii. Thanks so much, Nunzi! It was a treat to find the box on my porch!

I received my gift from escrime monday night! Which was perfect because I was going crazy studying for my finals and to see my dad come home with a package for me made me feel so much better!
She got me a 2009 planner, which is perfect! I have so much trouble finding one that has just enough space for me to write down my notes. She also got me an airplane survival kit! This was awesome! She put ear plugs, tissue, a sephora mirror, lipgloss, creme, gum, and many little treats! She also got me a tin water bottle so that I won't spend $$$ on airport water! And the best thing out of all were my favorite animal cookies! Which were great to keep me up while I studied :) She hit every little detail perfectly and I had so much fun opening everything up!

Thank you so much, Escrime! Happy Holidays to you!

My Secret Santa was HeatherLynn! I received my gift on Saturday (sorry it took me so long to post!!) I thought it was a book I ordered for my boss when my DH picked it up off the porch and he was like "who's Heather" and I snatched it out of his hands and ran to my room to rip into it!

The funny thing was that she used the same exact wrapping paper that I used for my SS gift which had a buch of cute christmas-y shoes all over it! She gave me a pink key chain with a nail kit inside for my purse which I needed so badly! She also gave me a gorgeous Smashbox bronzer/blush combo comact that I am already using to not look so pasty white in this weather. She also gave me these adorable post its and flagging post its that I love! I don't know how she knew I was an organized freak and that post its would excite me so much, but she did!!

Thanks Heather!! I love everything! Happy Holidays!

I want to give a HUGE thank you to Joy0302! Its all perfect!!

She gave me some scrubby shower gloves (My shower is my favorite part of the day), a super cute makeup bag, a gorgeous lavendar scented sachet shaped like a butterfly, a really pretty monogrammed hankercheif, the cutest set of sticky notes I have ever seen, a dark chocolate and coconut truffle bar (YUM!), and a really cute tin full of milkbones for my doggie.

I LOVE IT!!

You are so welcome!! I am so glad that you liked everything. I almost had to wrestle my pup to give your doggie those milkbones! LOL! It was a good lesson in sharing for him! I hope you have a great Christmas!

Ok so after the whole mix-up yesterday, I got my s.s. gift today. My s.s. was Luv2shop! Thank you so much, Sabrina - for everything. Your note had me in tears, you are so very thoughtful and I want you to know that I truly appreciate everything. It truly brightened my mood. I know you wanted me to wait until Mimi was asleep, but you know, that wasn't happenin', there was a present waiting to be ripped into! So here's what I got:

Philosophy Cinnamon buns, a pair of warm comfy socks (which I'm wearing), 3 cute emery boards, an OPI nail polish set (will paint tonight), a planner for my purse, a peppermint lip balm, an apple scented lip balm, a box of Jelly Belly christmas mix candies (those are gone now), toe seperators in the shape of xmas trees (so cute), a vanilla scented lotion, and an eye mask so that I can block out hubby, lol. Thank you sooo much. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

BTW, Mimi loved playing with the box:

Rosie I am so happy that you liked everything!! I was really worried that you wouldn't get the package after the whole FedEx thing, but I'm really glad it worked out! I was hoping the note wasn't too mushy. You are very welcome. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family as well!
P.S. That pic of Mimi is adorable!! Glad she enjoyed it too! :)

I got home Friday to find my secret santa present from ttara123!! She got me a cute pendant, several homemade soaps from etsy, a candle, and a fantastic silver clutch.

Thank you so much! It is all adorable and I can't wait to use everything!

Happy Holidays!!

*I will try to post a pic later tonight. =)

I got my Secret Santa gift... From LoMish!!! She got me a beautiful pendant - it's a silver chain with a pendant that has different shades of turquoise on it. I'm wearing it today. She also got my kitty some wonderful kitty grass...My cat is going to love that stuff.

Thanks so much LoMish! It was really nice to come home on Friday to have that package waiting for me. It totally made my day. And I loved the card.

As i walked up the stairs carrying two sleepingkids it was so nice tosee a box for me!!
My secret santa was rosie the riveter....she gave me a gold necklace with a bird and a heart charm....I love birds!!
Also there were apair of purple slipper socks....love them
Also, I just wanted to say that rosie I was thinking of you when we putup our tree when I saw the baby's first christmas ornament you gave me two years ago for ss.

Thanks

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

I came home today to my secret santa package from gingembre1! Thank you so much! I got really great stuff: Adorable Lambie slipper socks, a peppermint bath fizz, Co Bigelow tinted mentha lip shine, a book light (which you'd think I'd have considering all the reading I do!), awesome animal stationery, and my favorite...a huge bag of chocolate covered pretzels! Thank you so much gingembre1! It was a great surprise on a day when I was down in the dumps

gingembre1 · Kate Spade

Nunzi - I'm so glad you liked your presents!! I had a great time picking them out.

And I know I enjoy having my own little reading light when my SO wants to go to sleep and I want to do a little bedtime reading.

My secret santa was Leah Leanna! Thanks for being a wonderful secret santa two years running! :) I should not admit that when I opened my bag I screamed out the words CHEEZ DOODLE! LOL!

Leah Leanna sent me my favorite snack ever, Cheez Doodles. They are not available where I live, so I rarely get to splurge on them. She also sent me a beautiful pair of earrings that I LOVE! I already have an outfit that they will go perfect with!

Thank you so much! You are always so sweet and thoughtful! Everything has been so crazy lately and you really made my day! :) I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

LoMish · Kate Spade

gingembre1: I'm so glad you liked your gifts. I searched everywhere to find a necklace with blue stones and finally found one, so I'm glad you like it! And my kitty loves the grass stuff---I figured it would be a fun treat for yours too :)

Happy Holidays!!

rosie_the_riveter · Gucci

Rlutz, I'm so glad you like the necklace and the socks! I'm also happy that the post office came through and found/delivered your package before Christmas. I hope you and your family have a very happy holiday season!

Collette · Chanel

Dear my SS recipient, have you received your gift yet? You were supposed to get it by last Thursday and I'm getting nervous that it got lost in the mail!

Kelly · Hermes

I feel so bad, I dont' know who my SS is! She included a gorgeous photo and included a card and everything, but I don't know most of you by your real names so I'm not sure who it is

But! My amazing secret santa really spoiled me...she gave me a jewelry stand holder, which I've been thinking about getting because I recently set up a vanity for myself and my jewelry is always laying around it in a big mess! She also gave me a clear glass teacup with a strainer thing built in, so I don't have to smush my tea into a seperate infuser (I'm sure my boyfriend especially will love that since he makes me tea in the mornings and that's less work for him!). She also gave me pomegrante flavored green tea (I cannot wait to try that out!) and flowering tea leaves that I can watch unfold through the clear glass teacup - I've seen pictures of those and have been dying to try them! I loooove tea and drink it every day, so I'll put all of my presents to good use. She also gave me a huge chocolate bar of Hersheys with almonds - my favorite kind of candy bar!

Thank, you, SS!!! Wish I could thank you by name!
