@misoangry I totally panicked when I drew you lol! What does one buy for MISO? So I went safe with the selfie stick but decided if I bought a few of my favorite books for misotiny you couldn't hate-or at least you'd be gracious about it on here. Make Way for Ducklings is so very Boston, and I love being able to go to the Public Gardens and riding the Swan Boats and seeing the bronze ducklings they have there in honor of the book.
My SIL bought Dick and Jane and Vampires when I was pregnant with Ellie-she meant it as a gag gift not knowing how much we'd all love it. Ellie still loves "reading" it and I always crack up reading it. I thought you guys might get a kick out of it! ❤️

Panicked?! Awwww. (heart)
I can't wait to show misotiny the bronze ducklings in Boston one day! Of course, that means we will meet you and your family there, too!
Thanks again. I really love everything! You nailed it!

My SS was bcv513. She got me two Lush bath bombs in adorable snowman packaging, 2 OPI nail polishes, a lip gloss (which I LOVE), and chocolate, most of which I ate before I took the picture. Thank you so much, bcv! I love it all!
@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.
Merry Christmas!
I have been so excited for you to get your gift STD!
cats has been texting me pics of all of your cool gifts!
Seriously cats this was the best gift. I wore the scarf today! I got like 100 compliments! Thank You for everything & Thanks for helping out chille!
I got an awesome package today from farmvillelover (heart) Thank you so much- I love it all! And I'm so happy for the reason it was sent 'late'- I'm so thrilled for you!
Skinnytaste cookbook from my wish list, I love skinnytaste some fun nail colors and Burt's bees lip balm and some treats! I'm very intrigued by the tamarind candy. Thank you so much farmvillelover

So glad you like it! I realized after I sent it that I forgot to include a card. I'm glad you figured out who it was from!
@sloanpeterson I am your SS. You should be getting (or have gotten) two packages.
AND LET ME SAY, I am sorry you didn't get yours sooner. I had it all ready to go on Friday, with a bottle of La Prima pinot but then they told me in shipping I can't send it and nobody will ship it for me because it's booze and apparently this is fucking communist Russia or something so I had to find something else. Hence the two packages instead of one.
How awesome you are :-)
Guess what.. my SS got fucked up too. I ordered something on etsy and had it personalized for my SS and then apparently the friggen seller tried to reach me via email and it went in the spam folder. So they cancelled the order bc they didn't have my SS last name.
BTW I got the calendar today thank you :-) I love it.
My gift from tators was delivered last night. I got an awesome travel mug with a little thingy that covers the sipping hole (this is the most technical description I have ever made) so that the liquid inside doesn't slosh all over everything- genius! I love Frenchies and Van Gogh, so this is perfect. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for my SS, copperboom! It came a couple of days ago but things have been kind of crazy here and I meant to pm you that it arrived because I knew it'd take the weekend to post a pic. Thank you for my nativity scene ornament, and how did you know my hands are already so sore and chapped, and I was in desperate need of a lovely smelling hand cream? You must be a wizard. And I completely forgot about the Lindt truffles until just this minute ... burp. Thank you again!
mp I got your package. Thank you so so much. I just spent all morning looking for anti slip slipper socks to wear in the new house and you sent me the perfect ones. And the fresh set is so cool. I've been wanting to try their lip stuff for the longest time and I'm so excited to try them out. Also, dude, you are like a knitting whiz. That's the cutest hat and it's our baby's first!! Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts. The street mutts card is going on our mantle.

Yay! I knew you got it earlier this week, I was so anxious to see you post it!!
So sorry about the late post. Thank you so much once again
Well, 2-day shipping turned into 6-day shipping, but it was worth the wait! WOT?* did a fantastic job! She wrapped it up so cute and drew little trees on the outer paper. The rest of the packaging was so carefully done and very thoughtful. She sent a special doggie egg nog for Bella and Seattle chocolates for me and H, plus gum from the Pike's Place market, lavender hand sanitizer (my favorite scent!), a copy of Pitch Perfect, and lemon cuticle cream from Lush. I love everything! Thank you so much!
Calendar Godiva choc and a fish ornament from Minnesota!!!!!tge ornament is my new face Trying to post a pic! Ps laughed my ass off at the card Nugget!!!!!
I finally got a chance to upload the pics I took. Thank you nicbreeful! You spoiled me. I love the iggie earrings, the super fun Christmas hair accessories, jingle socks, lip gloss, greyhound silhouette card and the caramels. There was so much packed in there. The jingle socks will look amazing with my elf slippers from Target, lol.
I got my gift from kayl84 this morning. This lovely WA state necklace! Thank you so much, kayl!
I hope it's close enough to the one the other vendor who I'm now reporting for my money back. You never got the card I sent you huh? I even had my nurse send it from NYC, but had my return address in a red envelope.
I was gonna tag people, but didn't know where to start
I'm not the one who dropped the ball this year. So how about the person who couldn't get out to get a gift to send until late that I read in one thread? I sense tomorrow will be interesting in here though.

A simple, "You are welcome, I hope you enjoy it" would do.

Well, since I'm the one you are no doubt referring to from the other thread: I was in regular contact with my recipient, it was sent on Monday morning instead of Friday because I was making a special trip to a shopping center that I don't generally go to so I could get something she wanted, was sent priority so it should have been received by Thursday, I was open about it being sent late when she said she posted she received it and the tracking number was wrong, I double-checked the tracking number and sent her the correct one, she was fine with the Monday mailing (particularly once she figured out who her SS was), it got there today and she posted her SS gift, I don't think there's going to be a lot of drama there.
underwaterrhymes you're an awesome SS. First off I got dark chocolate truffles, but my family Decided since I can't eat, they'd eat them for me & replace them when I could eat. She got my kitty a new food mat that is full of words (which she loves), these 9 absolutely adorable cupcake magnets that are made out of bottle caps, these great cat socks --that I did wear home from hospital like I said I would UWR, then these really nice looking and heavy cat-related measuring spoons, and holiday mini-cupcake liners which I think I'll try to make these half cheesecake/half Ghirardelli dark choc. box mix. Last year my sis did it and dyed the cheesecake half red or green.
Again, UWR you're awesome I almost had to wait till I got home until I whined like I was 4 "what if I'm here for xmassss." It was more guilt-tripish. I will add pics of them later tonight or tomorrow.
WOT?* —I apologize I couldn't remember the whole story and could find the thread. I wasn't referring to you or anyone specific. Actually maybe with tracking #'s this year will be a good one for all involved.

Apology accepted. Glad you're feeling better and at home in time for Christmas.
My apologies to my SS (whoever you are? )as I'm a bit delayed in posting this, but I LOVE my goodies!!!
This really couldn't have been more perfect - I'm originally from Michigan (although a different area), and I was telling my H just a couple of weeks ago how I was kind of sad we hadn't been for a visit in the last couple of years. I was super excited when this arrived because even if I can't go visit for a little bit, I can still have goodies from there
Everything I've had so far has been super delish, so thank you again!!! This is really awesome and a great SS gift!

Sorry I didn't wrap anything. I really suck at it. I hunted all over for the sour straws you said you liked, but couldn't find them. Hoping these are good! And I know you're into the Tudors, but wasn't sure what you had read. But since you mentioned you liked coloring books, I thought that might be fun.
