Yay, glad you like it rikki! Did you also see the little chocolate bird from Burdick's? Its tiny so it might have got lost in the wrapping! Also, I can't believe you got it today - I just dropped it off at the post office yesterday afternoon!!
I got a giant box filled with goodies from bunch today! I love the tote bag, and as you can see, Corky is loving his awesome anchor (state logo of RI!!) polo shirt. There was also a yummy Carolina praline but my H ate it immediately before I could capture it on film.
Does anyone know if there is a way for me to sent a message to my SS? Not my giftee but my gifter? They sent me one, but when I hit reply it goes to an option to comment. Will everyone see that or just the person I'm replying to?
Eta: looking at the exchange, it looks like comments to anonymous questions do show up for everyone. Hmmmm
Responses to messages dont show up. Responses to questions do. I think you can also message your SS directly from the main page of the gift exchange.
We like Rikki, remember? Forcing my parents on her would probably mean friendship off. It would go one of two ways:
My mother: "LET ME TELL YOU HOW HORRIBLE A DAUGHTER SCM IS!" or My father: "You're a looker. Come down to only-bar-in-town with me and have a drink! You're married? I don't care, c'mon now, put your shoes on"
Dying. I promise I'd still be your friend and I'm sure I'd have fun with your dad. My own mother told everyone what a terrible daughter I am AT MY WEDDING!

OMG you made me choke! But rikki is a pro. Look at how she fielded that hooker on her doorstep!

I'm so glad you liked it! I threw in the praline and the Duck Dynasty wine koozie as a taste of the south
Thank you, LoveTrains! I am on my iPhone and my picture is too big to post, but she sent me The Book Thief and a portable speaker for my iPhone! I am going to go blast some Christmas music right now.
Mine is going out tomorrow. I'm a horrible wrapper, and it shows. Sorry to my recipient.
But a funny-my SS said she shipped it and it should be here Friday. Well, I just got a UPS tracking notification, and it gives the shipper name. It's coming from a site I frequent, and I was seriously concerned that I placed an order in my sleep. I logged into the account for that site, and then it dawned on me that it's my SS gift.

I'm back, here is my amazing gift from KaraOrNot. First how great it looked when I opened it- sorry the pictures are so big I need to learn to size them.
After everything was opened.
I got three things I asked for a great scarf, a new butter dish and a narrow spatula for brownies. She also asked what my favorite treats were and found me all these yummie things with marshmallows! All of this was great but when I opened the second card it was from the American Chestnut Society which I had written about in a post a few weeks back, she had a tree planted in my name. Honestly this has been a hard holiday season and this seriously made me cry. To top it all off she got gourmet dog treats for the dogs. They both loved them!
I had a cute card to put in with your gift. I forgot it at home, figured it wasn't the worst thing ever to have no card, but then just realized I also didn't put any identifying info on/in my gift. So, when my secret santa posts, I will out myself! Sorry, it's been a busy couple of weeks and I may or may not (but really may) be losing my mind. The package should arrive today according to the tracking #, and the gifts are wrapped in blue paper.
I am glad I didn't participate. I have little to no imagination when it comes to gifts, no craft skills, and I am a procrastinator. You all have set the bar very high and my SS would have been disappointed

Oh man. I'd like to apologize in advance to my secret santee, who should receive her gift tomorrow. I did my best but you may have gotten the short straw here. These are some amazing and thoughtful gifts!
So here is my funny story. This package showed up on Wednesday. I'm 99% sure it's not my secret Santa gift, but per the packing slip the price was right. And there was no indication as to who shipped it. Amazon won't tell me either. I tried to send a message to my elf about it, but I don't think she got it. I did, however, get a message from her that my gift would arrive on Monday.
So, on the 1% chance this was from my secret Santa, I'm going to post it here.

A few years ago Amazon had a big mix up in packages around the holidays. I ended up getting something that I had not ordered and it wasn't sent as a gift. The packing slip had the right product listed but the contents were incorrect. Lots of people had similar issues. I had to return the item to Amazon and then the re-shipped the correct item.
I'm surprised Amazon won't tell you who shipped it. For my wedding I got a gift with no name I contacted the shipper and they told me who sent it, of course it was a vendor through Etsy and not Amazon.

You are not alone. I am 99.9% sure I'll ship mine straight from Amazon.
I shipped mine straight from Amazon. I am also okay with receiving things directly from Amazon.
I also just realized I posted the picture above in the wrong thread, I meant to put it in the MMM thread. Oops.
