Bonita was the best Secret Santa ever. She sent me Butter cuticle oil (which is awesome because it's one of my favorite brands and I always need cuticle oil), a wonderful Christmas tree candle, an Ulta gift card which I am super excited to use, and my favorite gift of all, a bag of adorable gingerbread men for the huskies. I was way too excited to take a picture, but I love all of it, just absolutely perfect for me.
I want to hear nothing bad about Secret Santa. Ever. This was the best.
Curtains sent me an awesome lip gloss set by Lorac. Makeup, beyond concealer, is something I just don't buy, so this was a much needed and appreciated gift.
I am so glad you liked it. I saw that you liked gloss and wanted to spoil you with nice ones. Happy holidays!!
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'm very excited to play the non-online version! My family is kinda prudish but H's family is going to be A LOT of fun to play with over the holidays!! This is one of the times where I'm very glad I married into his family! I'm not like mine at all!
H was jealous too, I had it on the counter and he was all " where did you get that!!!!!??" I said it was mine and he was never to touch it unless I said so.
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.
ETA: Also, I sent part of my SS gift already but the part I really wanted to send I can't because it's wine and apparently I can't send fucking wine anywhere because we live in Nazi Germany or Communist fucking China or some shit, so I am getting a second option and sending the second part out tonight.
SORRY IN ADVANCE, PERSON WHO I'M NOT NAMING YET.
I mean, yeah, techinically, you're not supposed to. But that's only if you let the shipper know what's in the box.
True story: Took a box of wine to FedEx in Napa Valley. They asked what it was and I told them wine. The guy looked at me and said they can't ship wine unless I'm a distributor. I looked him straight in the eye and told him, my mistake, it ISN'T wine, it's olive oil. Guy took it and shipped it. Yes, I risked jail time for wine.
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.
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!!
That is crazy!!! I am so glad you liked it! The ornaments and cutting board were handmade by a local artist, Carole Holder I haven't gotten mine yet cereal K but not to worry the Bermuda mail system is SLOOWW!
I will be away from home from Dec 26th so I might not get it until the New Year
Sorry it's not there yet! I have the customs number from USPS if we need to track it.
I'm so glad you liked yours, amberlyrose. You are fun to buy for.
I was the grateful recipient of SKP82, who went above and beyond for the Lorac Skinny Palette in Navy, which I've been having a blast playing around with for the holidays. And her favorite blending brush, which I am loving too. Thank you so much, skp.

Thank you Nonny. The scarf is very pretty and I had to take it out of my K's hands. I love the fact that you must have seen me mention peppermint schnapps and hot chocolate (and awesome taste). Thank you very much. That is very thoughtful. We are putting the Christmas music on right now. Which will be great, because my DS has been home the last two days with a cold so he can dance and be cheered up. Thank you again. I will be making the hot chocolate tonight.
I got an amazing package from Sephora with a set of holiday bath gels and matching lip gloss (Hart and my goddaughter already claimed two of the lip glosses, lol), a lip balm, hand cream and face cleansers!

Thank you thank you!!!! It was worth the wait
Yeah!! I'm so glad it arrived! I love the Philosiphy sets. My kids love all the different scents, and the gloss the the only 'lipstick' I let DD go nuts with. I had fun shopping for it

Yay! I am so, so glad you liked them both! Sigma is my favorite line of brushes.
