    It was at my door today, actually! And all I have to say is you are freakin awesome! I love that you put in a few things from all your little corners of Europe!

    Clockwise from top... Card from "Secret" Santa, the aforementioned CD sleeves, a box of Belgian chocolates (yum), traditional Croation ornaments, Cini Minis cereal (aka tonight's dinner!), and a pair of custom made Yellow Moon slipmats - fave song from Lightning Bolt, btw!

    Well done & thank you so much! Hope you have a nice Christmas! :-bd

    Thank you :blush:

    I was a bit concerned that customs people might've eaten the chocolate and that this was the true reason why they held the package ;-)

    Slipmats were custom made in London UK. And Yellowmoon happens to be my favorite LB track - so it wasn't chosen accidentally (it was so cool to learn it's HesCalledDyer's fav LB song too!!).

    Christmas decorations are hand made and they came from Zagreb, Croatia. The only thing that was not made in the EU are the CD boxes which were made by some very cool L.A. people.

    So, I must admit I enjoyed this SS project a lot - it was so much fun to come up with the ideas and get stuff! Tonight we're having another SS exchange at the office and I'm sure it's not going to be as fun as this one! I am, however, still waiting for my SS gift to arrive - I can't wait to find out where it will be from and what it will be :-)

    My SS gift arrived yesterday and of course it's fabulous. Metta sent me a meal! She's from Italy and sent orecchiette and pesto and a recipe and other goodies like Italian Nutella (called Sorridi - means smile in Italian). What a super gift.

    Molte grazie, Metta, and Buon Natale!

    @staceyd1800‌ Oooh!! So happy it arrived and nothing is damaged (or is it?) And even more happier you like it! I thought you'd love some dutch things. And the tin with "chocolate" is no chocolate haha! It says 'Stroopkoeken' and in the tin are real dutch cookies, hope you'll like them, but I definitely love them! And I didn't know if you already had the Beatles vinyl, but I think you didn't had this Holland made vinyl... :wink: And the tin is antique, so a bit rusty on the inside, but it's typical dutch and there's a nurse on it. So when I saw it I just had to buy it for you. But it was my first time that I joined and am so glad you like the stuff and can't wait to do it again next year! For now; have a nice christmas and enjoy your cookies!! :blush:

    Yay!! Thank you, Thank you Thank you so very much Gillian B from Almelo in Netherlands. I couldn't find your board name on the package or the card, maybe I missed it. But I'm gunna guess GillyBoks is/was my SS.. So hopefully you're following these posts to confirm.
    image Looks like Customs unwrapped every gift and rewrapped them half assed, except for one gift, it was still all wrapped nice and neat.
    Thank you for including a Little Description card with each gift. That was awesome! image
    Only one casualty - one fry tray was broken, I'll add it to my coke collection cabinet... I LOVE all the stuff you sent and the Coke can will go perfect in my Collection. Please thank your son for the Dog toy, I'm sure my Max will have some fun with it. Perfect timing to get the package, I was doing some baking with my girlfriends that very night and the Apron came in very handy. My guests insisted that they wanted to have tea in the awesome mugs you sent. So, they had tea and the cookies you sent and we had a great evening. Thank you again. Merry Christmas
    Prettige Kerstdagen Everyone!!

    Thank you so much to my Secret Santa, Danee, for the wonderful gift! It's an artistic print with the lyrics to Elderly Woman. Thank you also for your thoughtful card. After reading it I thought, now I have a Pearl Jam friend in the midwest. You are the best! I'm sorry but I don't see your board name on the card, so please reveal yourself if you choose!

    @northerndragon - My sweet Secret Santa of the north was good to me. I love the picture going to hang it up in my office. I wanted to wait (Sorry) to open on Christmas Day, but was way too excited.

    Part 2 of my Secret Santa gift arrived today and Wow! Mahndog, you've outdone yourself. Seven - count 'em - seven discs, bootlegs and videos, including my Milwaukee show, and Benaroya Hall. I can hardly wait. Thanks so much, Mahndog. (Oh, plus a tiny stickman sticker :D )
