The Secret Santa pressie received thread!

Sprunkn7

Getting nervous, mine should have been there by now. :(. But my post office stinks. I have a PO Box and you would think I would get mail before others but not so. I get things like two to three days after every one I know. Makes no sense at all.

O M G !

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

Those are the two coolest presents! I don't know how to express just HOW cool they both are
(for everyone who doesn't have a clue whats going on - some kick-ass mini speakers which are currently drowing out the TV, and an intriguing truth/dare/shots game which means no-one I know will be able to look each other in the eye over Christmas - Yes that means you too Helen... again)

Thakn you sooooo much, they are both fantastic!

:eek: I'm not playin!

I haven't got mine but haven't sent mine either.
Some people have a little end of semester cramming i'm sure... or maybe that's just me?
Since i work at a post office i'm not to worried about getting it done.

What a great way to close out the work week! (I get my packages delivered to work because my mailman is an idiot and would just leave it on the stoop for anyone walking by to grab.)

Thank you so much Emmi!!!!!!!!!!!! I love my present!!!

the first thing i saw was all the candy! soooo good. people in my office are like vultures when anything sweet is around. i managed to save most of it by shoving the candy in my desk while i looked at everything else.

-there is a calendar with kittens and all the writing in Finnish.
-there are two christmas art cards that are gorgeous.
-there is a tiny knitted glove that will go on my tree (with a finnish pin to be attached to it)
-there is a refrigerator magnet with a ship on it (i love this thing. so pretty. good job)---i collect foreign magnets so this was awesome to receive
-there are 3 little scented christmas candles. cute.
-and probably the coolest....coasters made out of laminated postcards with neat little comments about the pictures hand written on the back of each. this was so clever. the added personal touch means so much.

the people at work who saw me opening this were so envious that i was able to sign up for this. "that is a cool idea"! i love this. it is my favorite part of the season.

two!! packages for me!!! the day after my bd!!!

last friday, at work ( i always get my packages delivered at work, for the same reason as mensane ) i opened them with a co-worker breathing down my neck, and while she was shouting “how exciting, how exciting”, i was pleasantly surprised to see what my ss send me…

heartshaped chocolate’s rolled out of the first package i opened, they where gone in like 2 seconds
i got a very beautiful artwork poster, really really like it!!!!
4 cd’s from the camden and dublin show which are my ss’s favourite show’s, a PJ sticker, and a very nice letter…..

Irish Al, my secret santa!!!! thanks dude, I really love the poster, have to get it framed, and than it will get a prominent spot in my new home!!!

Yay I got it

Thank you so much! Not only did Sprunkn7 give me some amazing gifts, but she also gave me a stocking with some toys and a portable water bowl for my dog Nikita. I also got
- a beautiful coffee table book called the Nature of Wisdom
- some picture frames with pictures taken by Sprunkn7 (amazing shots of NYC)
- a yankee balsam cedar candle
- some socks
- a canvas purse with a snowman motif
- and an audio boot of a very special concert

This is the first time I have participated in the AET Secret Santa. It has been an amazing experience. Thank you to Helen and Sian for organising the festivities and a special thank you to Sprunkn7, I am overwhelmed by your kindness and thoughtfullness.

Merry Christmas!

Got mine today, too! From Ireland, no less!!

- An awesome reusable shopping bag - used it today - and then my dogs wouldn't leave it alone!
- a hilarious magnet that I can't keep up at work
- a dream catching aparatus - says to hang it in my sleep area, so it's on my cubicle wall
- a Peruvian/Guatemalan worry doll (which is funny because we have a commercial on TV here about a couple needing bigger dolls because they worry so much about their "investmentitos" - and it always makes me laugh for some reason...so the worry doll will stay with me in my bag cuz it makes me smile!)

And crud - I can't remember the pit name of the person who sent it - but I was very impressed and amused, PO!! Thanks so much!!

This was so much fun!! Now, I better get my prezzie to my giftee going very soon!

I am sooo behind!!! I am sending mine out on Monday, making sure it will get there in time! I took my time finding all the little things, so I hope she likes it!

Nothing here on my end yet, but waiting is (almost) half the fun!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful December.

A thousand thanks for such an awesome gift...and maybe the PJ gods will allow us to meet in person so I can appropriately thank you.
