    I got mine today. Audiodave, thank you soooo much! It was a seriously awesome gift and I love it! I was impressed with the pretty wrapping alone! It contained:
    -An awesome little snowman that I love to death! (yes, it survived the journey across the pond!) It was actually described as from a 'quaint little shop' which is how I picture things in Coventry and makes me love it even more!
    -Little wreath candles that I probably won't burn because they're so cute.
    -A jar of marmite and a book on different uses for it. This scares me and I haven't tried it yet. :)
    -Soap from Lush which made the whole package smell great!
    -A bag of reindeer poop chocolate. :p
    -A postcard desribing Coventry and a pretty cross pin to go with it.
    -A card with nice explanations of all my gifts.

    I'm overwhelmed. Thank you so much!! :)

    You're welcome nfanel. Glad you liked it. :)

    I received my present this weekend, but haven't posted because I don't like the new board :p

    It's from the man i sent to last year no less, Steve Dunne. Thanks Steve, it's an awesome gift and i'm really pleased it was from you :D

    I got:

    - A PJ piano tribute CD, strange as Steve got something not too dissimilar last year ;);P

    - Three, yes three, christmas CD's. Only had a chance to listen to one so far but it was awesome!

    - A huge bottle of some dinosaur bbq sauce that I will be trying when it's not so bloody cold.

    - A yankee candle

    - A Connecticut Huskies shot glass

    - Something else :p

    Thanks again Steve. :D

    Yes, Audiodave was my first secret santa and I was impressed. Very thoughtful gifts. :)

    I received mine today! I won't be opening it until Christmas but thought I'd let the sender know it arrived safe and sound. I'll post back and let him/her know how much I love it, because I'm sure I will. :) Posted this in the pit but thought I'd post it here too. :) If it transfers over at some point oh well...Not sure how that is working?

    I received my present from SOLAT 13 a couple of days ago, but had to have the 10c fix my user account . I guess something had to be done to my username or something to get me to be able to post agian. I havent been able to post for about 1 1/2 weeks now. Anyway TY Joe , i couldnt think of a more fitting end to the christmas AET secret santa then to have had you as mine. Isnt that ironic??? Anyway heres what I received BTW:

    A pint of rum stright from the Phillipines from Joe's venture out there a couple of months ago..

    A baggie full of Phillipine Mango Tamarind Candy ( SO DELICIOUS )

    A copy of the 2008 philadelphia phillies world series dvd

    Thank you so much Joe ( Solat 13 )

    Keep on rockin'

    I got mine!!!

    I also posted this on the pit, but wanted to post here in case my sender is not still over there!

    I am not going to open it until Christmas, but I will post then to say how much I love it, as I know I will. :)

    THANK YOU!!!
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    I opened my present this morning, and it is too cute! I would like my Secret Santa to know that my 8-year old son actually collects the jelly bean animals and was totally psyched to see the reindeer! We already have a cow, a pig, an elephant, and a bunny! They are hilarious!

    AND...we are big UGLY DOLL fans! I used to sell the large ones in my children's store, but have never seen the small ones! We are going to use him as a Christmas ornament next year. My son asked if we can name him "Eddie". There's way too much "Ed" talk around here, I suppose!

    Thank you also for the lovely card...hope the dog enjoyed whatever it was!

    Happy Christmas!!!

    Thank you kcherub!

    Just opened my present and love it all! I got a wonderful smelling Tyler candle with box matches. It's burning right now. Also, a beautiful journal (I keep one on my end table to write notes on, so perfect), Peach bud candy from Butterfields in North Carolina since 1924 (delicious), a save the ta-ta's car magnet and a charm ring in a beautiful card with a very nice message inside.
    Thanks again and hope to meet you in the coming year for sure!
    Merry Christmas and thanks again to HH for doing this every year. It's really something I look forward to and enjoy and I'm sure many would agree. :)

    Can I ask what the spending limit was for this SS thing? Or was it completely up to the sender?

Sweet deal :) I also got a book "So you wanna be a rock and roll star" which I'll be breaking into tonight. Thanks ThunderDan for not giving up on me hahaha It's totally appreciated ;)

    This is from the original thread AET Secret Santa in the pit:
    The gift you buy must value approximately:

    $20 /15euro /£10 and postage is on TOP of that (since I have not added inflation ) so you must consider the weight of your gift when you buy/make it.
