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'm glad you liked everything! I went stalking your posts after we were paired up.
My SS was kirra, and she got me sleep mask (that my husband has been teasing me about looking like a fly, but is way better at blocking out light than the dollar store job I've been using, so I don't care!):
and an unauthorized CAH humanity expansion pack:
Thanks Kirra! I'm looking forward to breaking out the funny expansion pack at our next game night and I'm already enjoying the sleep mask.
sparkythelawyer Your SS wants to know if you've received your package yet!! Tracking says it was delivered on monday!!
Let me check my rental office again. I know that I was there the other day and I did not see it, but they are not always the greatest at knowing where they have put stuff. I'll let you know tomorrow!

I will edit to add photos later but noodle is my favorite ML SS ever (of course this is the first time I've done ML but that doesn't mean anything since she did a great job and I laughed a lot.)
The anatomically correct corkscrew I put on my elfster wishlist as a joke because it made me giggle like a 12 year old boy? Yeah...she got it and the rest of the family -- corkscrew, can opener and bottle stop, all penile-ly enhanced. My daughter and son-in-law were here when I found the box and opened it and we could not stop laughing; they want them to give to HIS mom, but they're mine and I get to keep them.
Metallic sharpies to add to my collection. The kids at school and in Scouts LOVE my Sharpie collection and always fight over the neons and the metallics. They need constant babysitting or they'll disappear.
Kitty socks that I will get plenty of use out of. Candy Cane chapstick (No, Kidlet, you may NOT keep the candy cane chapstick!) A gingerbread man ornament from the Shake Shack, which is totally adorable and her favorite NY landmark (especially since I love Gingers and even help head up Gingerbread Night at the school so totally appropriate. So, if and when I hit NY, I should be looking for Shake Shack and not Five Guys, huh noodle?)
A book, The Alienist, which I am definitely looking forward to reading when I find some down-time after Christmas.
Thank you so much Noodle. I love it all.
ETA:
Plus a pack of three gold, silver and copper metallic Sharpies that I forgot to include in the picture, darn it.

Can I get a link to these? They would be perfect for my sister in law's birthday next month!

I'm pretty perturbed. I just checked the tracking number for my package and it says it was delivered to my door yesterday morning at 850 am. I didn't get it and I wanT to call bs on that since I was home and I'm pretty sure they ring the doorbell when they leave packages.
Sorry whoever my SS is. The post office bamboozled us or some stranger stole it and is enjoying.. something good.

I have had the post office mark packages as 'delivered' like 2 days before I actually got them. Which is insanely annoying but there may still be hope for your package.

We have had a crazy schedule around here but I am finally able to sit and post that my gifts from PeonyParty were absolutely fantastic! She sent me some really cute picture frames, a Lush bath bomb and bath bar, a canning cookbook, dissolvable canning labels, and a tin full of Russian tea cakes (one of my favorites!) that were so delicious! Of course I immediately told DS1 that, sorry kid, you're allergic to almonds, these cookies could kill you, so they're all for meeeee! I also had never experienced a bath bomb - woah, totally awesome! So relaxing during this crazy time of year.
Thank you again, PeonyParty! This is my first SS and it was awesome. Merry Christmas, everyone!

noooo! That's me I'm on my way to hershey park with my kids for the night and I left the receipt at home, I'll double check and make sure I had the correct address when I get home, but I copied and pasted it from elfster. It was insured so I'll file a claim and replace it, but obviously it'll be a little while longer now. I'm so sorry! ( and so bummed!)
sequins sent me the CUTEST elephant ornament! Even more fitting since our nursery theme is elephants! Thank you! I'll PIP when I get home tonight.
Yay!! I'm so glad you got it safe. I was so worried because it's porcelain. You said you are having an elephant theme and that you love christmas, so this seemed perfect. I'm glad you liked it!!

Again, I am so glad you liked everything and glad the cookies came out ok. You deserve a little relaxation from those boys sometimes!! Happy Holidays!!
usuallylurking was my SS. She sent me 2 Lush bath bombs (my favorite!), a bowl from Anthropologie that I've wanted forever, and a bowlful of Ghiradelli chocolates.

Thank you so much! I love it. ❤️❤️
Yay, I'm so glad it arrived! You're welcome, it was a lot of fun to shop for you
I have the most generous SS in the world. I can't post pics from my phone, but she gave me a Harry Potter necklace, a scarf ( with hidden hedwig) cocoa ( I assume to recover from tgec a gorgeous Petronus ornament that made me cry & pens with polka dots & chevron & a vintage mickey wall calander & notepad.
I am wicked spoiled. I love every single thing. The only thing is I can't read her name!! SS reveal yourself! I need to shower you on as many platforms as possible for being an awesome SS!!!

jenny1980littleduck - I was totally eyeballing that chocolate for my SS but I wavered and chickened out. Sorry giftee. No chili chocolate for you today...or whenever your darn present gets there. At least you now know something you DIDN'T get. And your kitty is adorable.

@savestheday I'm so thankful that it finally got to you! I had sent it as Priority Two Day, but it took six (!) days total. Needless to say, I was a little nervous.
It was so hard to send the HP stuff! I loved it all too! chilerellanos helped with the Disney idea. I searched high and low for a Merida ornament, but came up short. The patronus was my favorite though! Also, I just realized that I don't think I washed the fabric before I sewed the scarf, so you might have some stray strings after your first wash.
