sassycat had me and I had her. She totally knocked it out of the park with her box full of goodies.
Lots of delicious chocolate (not all pictured here as I ate some before taking the picture), tea (note the Mountie tin!), scarves and Christmas socks, lip gloss and hand sanitizer, a homemade mix CD with some of my favourite songs, and even a book and shirt for babybananapancakes!

I'm not positive, but I think my SS was @bostonjen. I loved all of it, and barely got the picture before bf busted into the blueberries! The orange is history, and the blueberries are dwindling fast. Thanks!
It was me! how did you know?! I'm glad you liked it. I love those damn chocolate oranges!

Thank you! I love coffee so...sometimes I'm excited to go to bed at night just so I can get up and have a cup of coffee. Not even kidding. It was a perfect gift.
@jezebel was my Secret Santa! She was awesome with her gift selection! I got my favorite movie on DVD a pair of warm fuzzy socks a dark chocolate bar from Trader Joes, a magnet with an encouraging quote, and a package of dried ingredients that benefit underprivileged women. Everything was perfect!
It was me! how did you know?! I'm glad you liked it. I love those damn chocolate oranges!
Because the first package had a gift invoice with a name and phone number. I googled the area code and you were the logical answer. I seriously love you for all of it. I'm in my happy place between the chocolate and the coffee.
Lol. D'oh. I guess I blew my cover! If you're ever n the area, text me! Lol.
I got my package today!!!! I got an adorable mug, awesome hot cocoa mixes, delicious looking popcorn and the best dog but refrigerator magnets!! I love refrigerator magnets!!
My secret santa was isabel and she was awesome!! I got some delicious sugars to use when I bake. A cinnamon sugar, a chocolate sugar, and a chocolate peppermint sugar. Plus hot chocolate, lip balm, and treats for Lucy. And it's all from a local shop. I love it! Thank you so much
I'm glad you liked everything! I hope you enjoy baking with the sugars and make something fun.
I got the BEST MUG EVER (it says "The Cat Likes Me Best"), and unicorn socks which I have already worn, and some Lindt truffles that I had to hide from H after he shoved like, three in his fucking mouth at once.
I'm glad you liked it. That company makes some awesome "cat people" mugs. I have one of my own in a different style/quote.
I have no idea who my Secret Santa is, but I received a super soft giraffe print scarf (I love giraffes) and one of the America's Test Kitchen cookbooks (as recc'd on here). I've already made one of the recipes and it was great! The scarf is a longer length, which is a huge plus for me (because boobs). I will post pics when I'm on my desktop.
emjacobs was my SS! I got this lovely coffee dripper which is amazing, along with this 8bit light up wreath which is currently sitting at my office, so unfortunately I don't have a pic of that. I'll take one tomorrow. I do have an action shot of the coffee dripper, though! It is shaped like the bottom of a rocket, which is super cool.
She sent 3 pairs of earrings that she made, a someecards daily desk calendar that I had on my wish list, a cat pen, a toy for my kitty, an ornament for our tree (from her babymoon in Aruba) and a Vera Bradley Bag
I couldn't stop giggling at her including the bag.
Photo of the gift, complete with kitty who was very interested in his new toy.
Not only is littleduck a stellar organizer, she is a thoughtful Secret Santa! Thank you, littleduck!
I remember reading that you were worried about your SS being disappointed in not being surprised, but I love everything!
Thank you so much for all you did to organize and for your awesome gifts! Drakey loves the ears! (Okay...'loves' might be stretching it for how he feels, but I'm sure you can see the joy in his eyes!)
in my favorite color, white. And this: (please excuse my crappy drawer....I cleared out a drawer to put in all my new goodies so I can open it like a new gift in the morning when I get ready...and so I don't accidentally stash in one bag or another and forget because there's so much)
Its Burt's Bees haircare, lipcare, lotion and soap. Argan oil, Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, St. Tropez fragrance, Urban Decay make-up bag (filled with urban decay samples), and the most freaking adorable emergency kit. The silver thing. I took a picture just of it to show you. It also had a little sewing kit in it - but I stashed that all ready. Oops.) The bottle is at my desk at school or that'd be posted too. Here's the kit:
I adore it and EVERYTHING. Thank you so much for your generosity, elle. It was so much fun to open (and open). H even had fun watching me ooh and aah. Now to keep Cec out of it all. Thanks again. So lovely of you.
She got me two Christmas ornaments from her home country, personalized and dated (love!) and a lemon-themed cutting board with a drink recipe to go with my kitchen lemon collection. All awesome and super appreciated!!
My absolute favorite thing was the card from her 6YO. Totally made my day.
And this! Plus a slew of Godiva chocolates that, um, my entire family has helped me consume.
Thank you, thank you, it was great!
I had bornbaker. I know your package wasn't incredibly personal, but when I saw you had CAH on your list, I was like, "Must.get!" It's so much fun and I hope you get a chance to play it over the holidays!

I am really glad you liked it. I couldn't resist the mountie tin it was so appropriate i thought. This was a lot of fun and loved shopping for you. Merry Christmas!! Thanks to you as well my stuff rocked.
