Holy shit you guys! Dig Ophelia is INSANE in the gift giving department!! Thank you so much lady!
i came home to a huge box, filled with all kinds of other little boxes, plus a mountain of tissue paper and about 500 sparkly balls.
I now have three different awesome smelling soaps, body butter, a gorgeous little jewelry box, and a really cool necklace that is just my style. Plus a nifty little clock. A. The boxes had cute notes saying Wear Me, Eat Me, Lather Me, etc. and my favorite, There's Always Time to GBCN on the clock. I gathered up all the little balls and they filled a whole box, I will have to find a crafty use for them once I clean up all this glitter.
Oh oh yeah, and some delicious candy-- what is this? Nomnomnomnom!
Thank you so so so much!!
I am so glad you like everything! I searched for that necklace and really hoped it wasn't 'too much'.
I had so much fun, I had to really reign myself in. You were very fun to shop for and I am so, so happy that you don't hate me for all of the glitter, esp. those balls. lol
The necklace is really perfect. And I was laughing so hard at all those balls.
I had the very best elfster alleinesein thank you so much! The bunny slippers are so adorable. I'm trying to resist eating the joe joe's for supper. I love all things lemon and can't wait to try out the soap. The measuring spoons are cute! Hank and Harley love their new toy, so sweet of you to include them. Thank you again!
Glad that you like them I wanted to keep the bunny slippers for myself because they were so cute.
I got toffee from Kalona (yum!), a new scarf, Bliss hand cream and a book. And an added bonus of a new box and a bow for the cats to play with. Still wishing that I had put a case of Millstream Root Beer on my list b/c that is one of the few Iowa things that I can't get out here....maybe next year!
Glad you got everything!
The book - I don't think I explained it very well in the card, but my BFF has been pushing me to read that book ever since I split with my XH. Apparently it helped her a lot when she had a breakup and started dating again. I read through some of your recent posts to see if I could find something to get you to add on to the stuff on your wishlist, and saw you were finding dating frustrating so I thought maybe it would be helpful to you too. I hope it's not stupid, lol I'd be happy to send you rootbeer sometime if you'd like, too!
Once I read the book I'll probably post about it on the SO board. I read non-stop so I love getting books.

You can order the root beer online! I know this b/c my mom loves it! At the bottom f the page it tells you how to order the sodas.
jenny1980 - OMG! You *spoiled* me! I love every single thing!!! Thank you!!!!!! (extra exclamation points totally warranted)
Everything came wrapped up in this super cute pink box and wrapping paper. This little gold seal was on everything. It's a little bird.
The contents of the box, also all wrapped up and pretty! \
Sweet Christmas (or other seasonally appropriate holiday celebration card.
The contents - Pretty Christmas Card with a sweet message inside Starbucks Hot Cocoa - I have been on a hot chocolate kick lately. I can't have coffee after about 3 pm, so this has been my warm drink of choice, and I have been meaning to try the Starbucks mixes. Blinc mascara - amazing stuff. If you guys haven't tried this, you should. It creates little tubes that just slide off with water. So much better for me because my eyes get irritated with just about any brand of eye makeup remover, so while I do wear it anyway, it's a (literal) pain to take off at the end of the day. Stila lip gloss - love it. Another product I've veneer tried before. I didn't realize it smelled good. Awesome! I'm wearing it now. Scarf - this is a really pretty purple with a silver strip going around it. Super cute and my favorite color. This went on as soon as I saw it. It's the perfect weight - not too heavy that I can't wear it inside but it's warm, too. I love it! fantastic hand cream. Which is amazing because a) I just recently used L'Occitane for the first time and am in love with it and b) I was just complaining at work today that my hands are so dry (despite moisturizing with the crappy stuff I have) that they are cracking.
Seriously, Jenny, you spoiled me and I so needed a treat today! It was the last day of school before break and both the students and I were done! This was a great pick-me-up. Merry Christmas to you, too! I'm going to make some hot chocolate, now
p.s. - because of this particular post, I learned to to right-click on a Mac so that I could get my pics off of Shutterfly. So, thanks for that as well!

Oh my goodness, cjeanette is awesome! Love, love, love all of my gifts! (Not sure why the pics are fuzzy, they looked fine on my pc.) I got a Burt's Bees sampler, the Half Full glass I've been wanting for forever, and a fun holiday favor kit- it came with lip gloss, a hair tie, a barrette, a necklace, a bookmark, and a noise maker. <)
<---------- best gift ever!
DH dropped the glass when I showed it to him. Luckily it didn't break. I almost had to kill him.
I got a beautiful map of the world where I can mark my travels, and some goodies from Montana.... a pretty ornament, a postcard, and some yummy chocolate that the BF and I already broke into. Thanks so much!

Thank you to my SS! I don't know who you are still because I didn't see a card or any reveal in the package? I actually got it last night so saved it and opened it with my presents this morning. Opi polish, salted caramel hot chocolate, burts bees goodies, a Starbucks mug from Florida and some glitzy nail files! Thank you so much!

gravytrain225 You are an awesome secret Santa!! I got your box all mixed up with the Christmas stuff, but I've opened it now
I got SIX bars of Ghirardelli Twilight Delight 72% dark chocolate. Yum! I'm a total dark chocolate fiend. I'm taking a few bars to the office to stash in my desk and keeping a few at home just for me.
And I got this wonderful thing I had on my wishlist: an Aquis microfiber hair turban. Here's the back story - several years ago my grandmother randomly got me one for Christmas and it works like a dream but things eventually wear out when you use them multiple times a week. Whenever I tried to find another one - either I couldn't find anything similar or it was another brand that didn't work as well. Anyway with growing my hair out to donate it - I have to keep heat styling and blow drying to a minimum and this cuts my drying time by more than half. I'm so thankful to finally have another one that isn't giving out at the seems.

Thank you awkwardpenguin!! I love the gifts! I love collecting ornaments from different places around the US, so the Chicago ornament will fit in quite nicely. The penguin chocolate is yummy as well. I can't wait to use the food coloring pens.
