I'm clearly not supposed to do SS. Last year I had a comical delivery fiasco to Farmville's work place. This year my gift for the kiddo exchange is totally lost. Like, the USPS has no idea where it is. Ummmmm, what?
Obviously, I will resend but now it won't be cutely wrapped as I'm going to ship directly from Amazon. I'm just annoyed that I tried to be super prompt (mailed November 25th!) and now I'm a gift-giver slacker.
And, yes, I've been in contact via Elfster with my recipient (who now knows who I am but whatevs), I'm just venting.
So, my post above is all SS gloom and doom but then I got my present from @itsbubs and I remembered how fun this is! I love it all so, so much!
She got me the apron I've been eyeing forever, a chocolate frog (HP fans will know how great this is! I got the Madam Pince wizarding card in it!), Jelly Bellies (my fave!), and the cutest owl ornament ever - he's reading a book (I already added him to our tree!).
Seriously, @itsbubs it is all so thoughtful and fits me to a tee. You made my week! Thank you.
DD got her lovely gifts from redheadk today! She's already played with the bank and will soon be read the other books before bed. Thanks!!
I have all the parts for my giftee's and will be sending this week!
Glad you guys are enjoying! DD still really loves playing with her bank and I don't see it recommended on here a lot so I was crossing my fingers that you guys didn't have it.
THANK YOU so much to my MMMoms SS thejen626. I love my chevron (zig zag, WHATEVER) scarf. I wear tons of coral and brown so it will be a perfect fit for my wardrobe. I've been wanting to try both ballet slippers and wicked, too. Can't wait to have a little mani/pedi time this evening .

Yay, you're welcome! (But this was for MM, not MM Moms)
I just wanted to say thank you so much to karinothing for the awesome packages that arrived today I haven't had a chance to take a picture, but I love, love the bag of peanut m&m's. I have been known to eat a whole bag (medium sized) if left alone, lol, so the 42oz should last a while - maybe?! The bracelet is adorable, I will be wearing it tomorrow! Thanks again!
The mmm gift I sent said it was delivered on monday but I haven't seen the person post yet...
I would page them on Elfster & have them check. I think Catbus received her SS gift & thought it was something else.
Yep, mine came from Amazon the same day as another box from Amazon, and thinking they were both things I ordered for H, I tossed them in our office closet to open when he wasn't around. My SS had to PM me to check. :-(
On that note, the package I sent (also via Amazon) was delivered last Friday, and I haven't seen any update from my recipient, either,

I saw the owl reading the book and thought it definitely was the perfect ornament for you! I bought myself a chocolate frog too and got the Snape card... I'm so sorry for all your SS drama you're dealing with but yay!-I'm glad my gift was able to lift your gloom and doom spirits!
A big thank you to my SS jenn248 for my very sweet surprise. Your gift will definitely satisfy this sweet tooth. I can't wait to break into the chocolate especially the salted caramel bars! Thank you!!

ha ha. I am glad you like it! I just thought it was hilarious that I could buy a 40oz of M&Ms I am glad you love the bracelet.
Thank you rikki for the awesome gift. The apron is perfect and I wore the socks last night when my H insisted on a fan when it is sub 30 out! It was a great pick me up at the end of a long day!
Caramini usurped one of the cannolis (my mom is Italian and I grew up in New England...love!) and then was asking all kinds of questions about your LO on the card.
Caramini: "Who is this?" Me: "That's E." Caramini: "What is E?" Me: He's a little boy." Caramini: "He is really, really cute! I like his jays." (Pjs)
I got my favorite hand cream, a superfun necklace, all sorts of chocolates, and.... @applesauce!!!
Haha. I was like, "oh, look, apple sauce. Maybe that's for the baby? That's really sweet." And then I opened the card and saw that applesauce was my SS. Well played
Thank you so much!!
ETA: I just saw your post about my delayed response It was a combo of mixing it up with my own amazon boxes the first day, and then having no more room on my camera for a pic yesterday. (lame excuses). Sorry if I seemed ungrateful...

I showed DH and he was amazed at how big the bag was, and then asked when he thought I'd be finish it. I told him 2-3 days, and he looked at me and laughed, then said, "Probably sooner." He knows me so well

I got all sorts of yummy Hawaiian goodies! I have to say, my girls were VERY excited about the passion fruit pancake mix! And, I may or may not have eaten the entire container of chocolate macadamia nuts already...

Woot woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you like everything! It was fun buying all of it!
My secret santa gave me some great stuff! A $5 gift card to starbucks, white chocolate sauce, which I used this morning in my coffee, a facial scrub from birch box, and some baby lips (I love that stuff).
Thanks to my secret santa, but I don't know who you are because I did not see a note with the name. (I could have completely missed it over my excitement)
The pajamas are adorable, we read the book last night, and he loves the colors of the stacking toy. He was throwing it around in the package last night right after we opened your box.

Glad you liked it all... ps I had to buy the white chocolate sauce for myself too!
