liveintheville is a rock star!!  Thank you so much!! 

I got these adorable glass owl ornaments that I adore!  I really needed ornaments this year too.  All of ours are trapped in the attic at our house which is condemned so I seriously teared up having something nice to put on the tree. 


She also got me the Family Dinner Box of Questions which I really wanted.  Ds' counselor at school thought something like that will help with his worries (anxiety). 


You are so sweet!  Thank you so much!!!

And to my Elfster -- it says you should be getting your gifts today.

hski2349 sent me the nicest box of goodies!  2 kinds of Tazo tea, texting gloves I have secretly wanted, sleep balm and some pretty festive nail polish!

I know it is not OPI that was on your wish list, but it looked similar, so I hope it works for you.  Glad you like everything.

aspentosh thank you, thank you!!!

I love it all and can't wait to feel pampered with my aloe socks and spiffy hair mask tomorrow! my hair stylist asked me this week if I was deep conditioning my hair yet and I told her I was hoping to get a hair mask for Christmas.   I also already tried the lip balm (l'oreal color riche) on and it's beautiful. I've never tried that color (rose elixir) before, and I think it's my new favorite lip color for every day wear -- thank you again!

[aspentosh]

I'm so glad you like it tacom! I really wanted to throw in some candy or treats but wasn't sure what was ok/not ok... SO I figured I'd go the pampering route. <3

I'm so used to passing little goodies on to FI (who totally doesn't mind), but it is nice to receive a gift I can use on my own! thank you again and happy holidays!

I love this thread! Mailing my package tomorrow.

@stjess80 and Alissa - thank you both so much for the teas, honey, and apple butter! So perfect for our current frozen tundra conditions!

I can't wait to try them. Tea with honey and lemon is my favorite, so I'm very excited to try the lemon cream honey...mmmm.

The Apple honey butter will be perfect for my usual morning English muffin and a nice tasty change from PB or regular butter. Thank you again!

I am looking forward to getting home from my business trip tonight as my gift should be waiting for me. Not sure if I'm more excited about the gift or seeing H and the fur babies.

It's a pretty cool necklace and a green bay Packers glass!! Thank you! The glass was used immediately. I didn't even wash it first

You're welcome! You have another gift on the way as well. Should have been with the necklace, but may have shipped separate.

I'm a bad elf/secret Santa. I just got home from the one post office which is open late in the city, but the package is in the mail.

No you're not! I got it last night but I haven't had a chance to photograph it. I got a beautiful scarf, neck lace and ornament that represents the state of Arizona

Thanks so much!!!!!!

I got a little carried away but I'm glad you like it!

ETA: I'm really glad the vodka and jelly made it unbroken. That would have been a disaster!

Yay!!! I'm so glad you like it. I wasn't sure what color to get, but I worked as best I could from your elfster clue. I'm actually surprised it got there as fast as it did.

I've finally taken a pic of my SS gift!

From jjwritersgirl (I can't tag on my phone)

An owl candle, salt and pepper shakers, oven mitt, and stickers. And cat note cards (these crack me up!)

Owls & cats...my two faves! Love it all! Thank you!!

It came early! I think tracking told me tomorrow. Alissa picked out the creamed honey, she thought it went best with tea. I think I wrote it in the card, but I found a new store in my quest for local goodies. I'm definitely going to check it out in the future.

I'm glad you like everything!

Purple is my favorite so you did great!

Thank you mrsfarmer.  Items to enjoy my 2 favorite beverages - tea & wine.   The item on the right is a wine chiller will come in handy on the hot summer days, and jasmine green tee from Teavana.

Finally getting a chance to post pictures and SQUEEEEEEEEE over the amazing goodies that arrived today from the awesome miss rikki.



I have a bunch of pedicure goodies--massage ball, scrubber, lotion and the softest socks ever--plus THE chevron scarf (that I wore out to lunch today!), a super cute ruffled apron (love!!) and a chocolate bear. Okay, five chocolate bears but only one was uneaten by photo time.

Lucy asked me, "Who is that very cute baby and why is he wearing Ella's Christmas pajamas?" (Our girls have the same pair as E LOL).

Thank you SO MUCH lady! I love all of it.

So glad you got it and like it! I wanted to get you the purple scarf, but it was on back order. Lu cracks me up!

[audette]

It's cool seeing all the gifts! It looks like mine might be at home by the time I make it back there. The tracking info shows it being handed over to the military mailing facility on Dec. 6. (My SS awesomely sent my gift super-early, so that the poor package could deal with the vagaries of APO shipping... elfster let me know when it was shipped.)

*crosses fingers* Can't wait to see what it is!

[alleinesein]

Mine will go out on monday. My mom was supposed to send them today using her work shipping rate and she is home sick. My elf should have it by wednesday at the latest with 1-2 day shipping. I am off to Disneyland this weekend so maybe I will grab a few little things to toss into the box to make up for it.
