Look what I got!
 

Secret Santa gifts...

Show your gifts, and guess who sent it to you :santa:

Merry Christmas to me!!

An assortment of very lovely smelling candles, and a beatiful handmade metal box from Sumatra. As per my Secret Santa, "If you take it the road show and it's worth a pile of money, enjoy and post about it."

Also, "Why the horse shoe and spike? Well they're metal + the UPS guy on TV said, 'If it fits, it ships.' Use it for a paper weight?" (I had indicated I liked metal things. :)) Thank you very much busterb! I love all of it.

That's a cool box!

:D

:lol2:

My parcel has arrived! Hasn't been opened yet...verrrrry much doubt I'll have the self-control to wait for the day, so will likely be posting more here shortly:p

I got mine! I'm not waiting!

Wrapped!

Chocolate covered macadamia nuts, 2 boxes!
Macadamia cookies!

Thank you, Tulip? (Right? I'm pretty sure I'm right.)

Is that an optical illusion, or are you missing one of those chocolates?

She eated it! :)

I'm having a small technical difficulty with part of my gift that I hope to resolve Friday.
shipping delayed.

Are there weird shipping requirements on Swedish Penis Enlargers?

Airholes...

Is it a midget dominatrix!



Yeah, I ated it. Didn't wanna wait.

Finally celebrating the end of the semester and my associates degree! Drinking vodka!

Bravo, mtp! So the film turned out OK?

Vodka for everyone! :)

Sorry Shaw, I am re-gifting. I didn't think you'd find out.:p:

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

*Hugs MTP* Bloody well done kiddo! You make the Cellar proud.

I Got Mine!

I haven't deduced which dwellar you are (there are too many of you in the Philly area), but Thank You Secret Santa, I love it! Im not sure what to do with the top two accessories in the box yet, but I will definitely research it.

Turbo had to check it out too!

The wine didnt come with it, but the box was just begging for me to fill it and that bottle matches perfectly!!

Cool !!

Top one is to prevent drips.
Second is to instantly aerate your red wines.
Third is stopper.
Fourth is opener.

The candies replaced the wine I was not allowed to ship. The truffles are to die for.

DO NOT BITE - just let it melt in your mouth. A couple never made it ;)

Glad it arrived safely. Glad you enjoy it. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

oooohhhh very nice!!

Thanks for the info. The drip preventer will come in handy. The aerator probably wont get used...I'm too impatient :D. The other two I already knew. Since I'm hosting Christmas this year, the wine glass charms will definitely get used and the chocolate is perfect in lieu of wine.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

This was a lot of fun.

OMG. I just had one of the truffles.

HEAVEN!

Tasted just like the Frango Mint Meltaways we used to get at Marshall Fields.

Impatience is the reason why you will like it. Put it on the top of the bottle and pour as you would normally. There is no waiting, just instant aeration. :cool:

I know, I thought "That's real impatience. Too impatient for an aerator, probably too impatient for a glass."

OK OK...so I didn't know, I just drink the stuff, I don't know a heck of a lot about it....:o.

(This is why the cellar is so cool)

Well, that and being underground the temperature is usually a constant 55 degrees.

Ta Da Dum

I think I have my Secret Santa package.
Mum checked I wasn't waiting for a delivery, and made some HUGELY unsubtle hints that I'd received something, and unless I insisted, she's hold onto it until Christmas Day. I didn't insist, because I know I'm only getting money/ vouchers this year and it would be lovely to have something to open.

I had an extraordinary slew of prizes last year, but as circumstances (mine and other people's) have changed, I'm not expecting anything other than SS this year.

So if you're my Secret Santa, feel confident that whatever Mum is storing, it's your present. But do get in touch via Jaydaan if it's perishable!

Just got the best Christmas present ever. EVER! From Vernon, B.C.

pics to follow.

EVER.

British Columbia? Does it smell reeeeeeeaaaaaaallll good?

As I am the ONLY Canada Secret Santa participant... I seriously hope you love it footfootfoot! I fell in love with it when I found it.. so much so I bought hubby and father in law one too!!!
Way too cool for anyone who likes photography :)

lensbaby?

Nah, I've got photoshop. this is more betterer than a lens baby.

Take a dang picture and post it already! I hear you have a camera or two laying around the place...

Just that my Secret Santa won't wonder, I have already received your package.....days ago. :p: Haven't had time to post up the pictures. Will do in a day or two. By the way, thank you! Nice stuffs. :D Oh yeah, I still haven't been able to guess who you are. :haha:

MTP: You're welcome. I hope you like them. Thought I'd give you a variety since I wasn't sure what kind you'd like. :p:

My gift arrived 3 mins ago. It was taken out of the box excitedly... to find a package with " do not open til Christmas" warning!!!! BAH... so, I will wait. SIGH.
:)

woooo hooooo!!!!!

Jaydaan--

Merry Christmas!

You may open your gift any time you wish, it's yours after all. I meant to convey that the gift itself is not gift wrapped. I suck at gift wrapping.

If you want to open it, that's great. When I see that you have, I will make several other posts in another thread. But ladies first.

:)

Ohhh permission... cool... I suck at waiting for anything.... hahhaha. Post away, It will be open before you hit post. :)

YOU MADE THIS???? WOW! Great job. Can I send the pictures to someone, to post? I am computer illiterate. :)

Nice! A joy to read.:D

Shit, now I'm excited. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Wish granted.

:)

ooohhh there we go! no worrying on how to post a picture :)

OK Finally mailed my package. Better late than pregnant, as they say.

I think mine has almost landed! I had one of those cards through the door today telling me there was a package at the postal depot because I wasn't here when they tried to deliver it.

To be continued...

me with one of my presents

Shirt? Joists? Light?

Dude, is that like a camera lens coffee mug? Cool!

your nose hairs are ready for their close up.

I'm loving it long time.

Only downside to that mug is that the lid has to come off, too bad it didn't have sip spots instead. Was loving the fact its stainless steel inside, no yucky taste issues! Everyone who has seen this close up wants one, so I am glad you love it. I tried to find Russian tea mix, but could not. I could not find instant tea in my small town either, as I did find a couple of recipes for your tea. :( So instead you got regular teas... lol

The wish bottle has a small Goddess symbol on it, that I had pressed from fimo :) and gives you just a touch of the witch I am :)

That Goddess symbol is so cool, I wondered where it came from. Our very progressive, if not downright crunchy home-school group just did a whole week on the Venus of Willendorf. All the kids sculpted their own out of lumps of plaster. It was very cool.

I have a few contacts in the Seattle area who might be able to hook me up with Market Spice Tea, thanks for the effort though. I haven't had it on over 20 years, I wonder if it was just a fad like the horseless carriage?

Snowed in today so no collecting my package, but the snow is looking so lovely.

I got Goodies !!!!!

Thanks Feetz , Good stuff

And WHO is the secret surprise pic of ????

Zippy: You got flies?????? Looking at the picture again, they look dead. At first, I thought they were alive!!! :3_eyes:

So, ummm......., Foot3 (assuming Zippy guessed right), what are the flies for? :p:

I've got comments for other gifts too (great gifts also) but I've gotta run. Just gotta ask about the flies, hehe.

Gotta post this up to thank my Secret Santa. :D Yes, I got this a while ago, opened it immediately, hehe, took pictures right away, but never made time to post up the pictures. :blush: I was surprised to see a big box and heavy too! Thank you Secret Santa, still haven't guessed who you are yet. I am waiting on others to post and guess their SS to start on the process of elimination. I love everything! My nephew was excited when I let him open them. He loved the lights and wanted to hang them on the Christmas tree. Since we didn't have one, I let him bring them to school to hang up on the one in his classroom. And now, I have to buy a bottle of cabernet so I can eat them chocolates. :D By the way, I don't know what those tiny booklets are. Looks like they were used as filler but I kept them to read. :p:

Tulip , These Kind of flys

they are used for Fly fishing

A Verry cool and Zen thing to be in a river fly fishing , just you the river and then Bam you get a hit !! ( a fish on the line )

I didnt Know SS Fly fished
