THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! Your package came yesterday but I just tossed it on the table. DH would NEVER understand a SS between internet "friends" so I didn't tell him I was doing it. He got the package from the mail and was like...what's that? I just told him it's Christmas...Don't ask questions. He left it alone, but I had to wait until he wasn't around to open it. LOL. I was home from work today, he took a nap, so I grabbed it and snuck upstairs to open. I love it!!! The nailpolish colors are great (and much appreciated...we go through a lot with two girls (well, three, two old enough) who love to paint nails! One of my favorite things to do with them.) I do love the hand cream. Not too heavy, which is my most picky thing. And the chocolate I haven't tried but I hid it in my work bag and its going to reside in my office so that I don't have to share.
Thanks so much! I'll post a pic later. Its on my phone which is upstairs right now. But I wanted to know it was received and greatly loves ASAP.

My loot! Please ignore all the clutter in the background
I think my elf raangoli has been spying on me or has secretly wiretapped one of my cell phones.
I got -A new Baggu with kitties on it. My old one (that I got in one of the previous exchanges) finally died while I was in India. The new one is going straight into my purse.
-New luggage tags from Flight 001. I have Keep Calm and Carry On, Keep Calm and Fly Away and Keep Calm and Travel Far. I almost bought these at Nordstrom last week but for some reason I put them back on the shelf.

Yay! I was worried about shipping the chocolates but I thought the flavors were really interesting. I was also worried about the hand cream, so I'm glad you like it. I'm glad you like everything!
alleinesein Yay! I am glad it came as expected! That was close with the luggage tags, I guess! Your Spidey senses must have told you they were on their way
operagirl was my Secret Santa!!! She sent me a goody basket full of goodies from NOLA and an awesome dessert cookbook full of desserts from NOLA. DH has already tagged what recipes we should try. HA!! Thank you so much!!! I love it. Have a wonderful holiday season.
It was fun to shop for you, abramos, because you seemed so excited about it. Happy you like the book and goodies, opera
I was excited. Getting goodies from other people's hometown makes me feel like I traveled but never left the house. When I get the dates confirmed on our NOLA trip, I will let you know!
I was so excited to try the chocolates I forgot the pic!
I LOVE that chocolate shop! I hope you do too. And I'm not a smelly soap person but I thought that soap smelled amazing...I almost got a bar for myself Enjoy!!!

I got such a wonderful gift from mrsfarmer and her family. She sent me a load of local goodies from Minnesota!! A cook book, wild rice soup mix, MN rice for the soup, an ornament, and some yummy candies. I'm not sure how much you stalked my posts, but it's crazy how spot on your gift was!! I love xmas (and the ornament), and love making homemade soup (made 2 pots this week). Thank you so much for such a thoughtful gift :-)

Guilty! I went through some of your threads/posts since your wishlist included local foods. I love to cook as well, so it was fun to shop for you!

Well I'm happy to have you stalking my posts at any time, you are a great detective :-) thanks so much for all the goodies!
I got the best box in the mail from KaraOrNot! I love potato chips of all kinds and she sent me 3 fancy flavors. There was also new straps for some flip flops I have, a fancy lanyard I can wear to work, and a cute reusable shopping bag. The flip flop straps and lanyard have been on my Christmas list that I give to my inlaws for the past two years and if left up to them I would never get them lol. Thank you for the great gift. I seriously love it all!
Oh my gosh, halfpint is a super sized Secret Santa! She sent me a fabulous coffee table book with french menus and photos of the table settings! I love it! Also coming are some ceramic birds to use as table decorations - both are from my wish list. Look how perfect the book is now, and I'll show you the birds when they arrive. Thank you so very much, halfpint!!!
Merci beaucoup!
Your whole list made me want to entertain, dahling.

That is my favorite soap! I stayed at a hotel that had it and I made my husband ask for extra bars from the cleaning person cart.
I'm so excited to share what I got today from mpc! I couldn't wait to open it; I might have squealed when I saw the box had arrived.
It's so perfect! I just finished reading a book and was looking for my next read; now I can curl up with some hot chocolate, cozy socks and read about the true story behind Highclere before season 5 starts.
As if that wasn't awesome enough, I totally geeked out over the coolest space shuttle ornament she sent. And I never thought I'd be exited to get a stapler but I was! I've been proven wrong! lol
Thank you WinterWine! I love all of my gifts, especially the socks! (I might have a problem, lol!) AND! A coupon for $10 off my next sock purchase. That is as good as gold in my book. lol.
This is what she gave me: long giraffe socks, peppermint bark ghiradelli chocolate, dark chocolate almond godiva chocolate, and "the nudes" eye shadow palette.

Yay! I am glad you like it. Now just watch, this will be the year your ILs get you the flip flop straps and lanyard, lol!
Thank you @spenjamins! I LOVE everything! The hound magnets made me smile. The brittle looks delicious and the smell of them made my dog go crazy - seriously her snout was in the box rifling through the tissue paper, as I was unpacking the box. The water bottle is perfect and I can't wait to try the new popcorn seasoning. Perfect Monday night surprise.
