Secret Santa 2009!

[Sundae]

And here are the goodies.
Note the instructions. I think they apply to me as well as the container!

[Juniper]

OK, here's what I got.

Let's see: a pretty little bag, set of 2 santa soaps, a shower puff, emery board, pumice stone, lilac scented oil, and a little glass bottle thingy which I guess is for the oil, right?

I put a few drops of the oil in the water mister that I use while ironing (I like this better than using steam in the iron) so that while sewing the quilt I'm working on right now (on which all my goodies are sitting in the photo), my office/sewing room smells delightful!

Thanks! I dunno who sent it . . . have to do some sleuthing. Someone from Canada!

Great! thanks.

poor Jaydaan is now the only recipient who knows she's on Secret Santa's Nice List who hasn't got her pressie yet -and it was mailed in plenty of time! maybe it was so nice customs felt the need to investigate futher.....

but that's not all we're waiting for.... there are a few surprises still in the pipeline

[Tulip]

Yay!! More presents!

Richlevy and SundaeGirl: Thanks, you guys. I tried to choose something nice, didn't quite aim for creativity. :p And I will check those sites you mentioned, Rich.

[Jaydaan]

BAH one of those gifts is missing over half!!!! There is an entire separate part missing. Handmade lotions, bath salts, etc..... as well as a scented candle. How does HALF a parcel go missing in the same parcel????

[Juniper]

Let me post a photo of the envelope and maybe we can figure out why.

[Juniper]

I'm guessing Jaydaan didn't use brown tape.




Look at it from the inside. Sliced right along the top.



What a shame. It's OK, darlin'. I know you meant all the best!

Must be one of those Homeland Security things. ::shrug::

[Jaydaan]

No I did not use brown tape... I used clear tape to secure the gluey stuff. On the right had side, actually.. I can still see my tape.

Well here's hoping the person who DOES get that section of it loves lilac scented candles, lavender body lotion, lemon drop lotion, energy bath salts and a bag that is goes in for travel.

I will send another out to you.. AFTER I find out why it was opened. No point in sending you the same item, if its going to get stopped at customs. Funny thing is: I get all my adult toys/lotions for my business from the States with no issues. huh.

[Tulip]

Awww.....I hope there was a legit reason and not someone from the post office stealing it.

[Juniper]

Might have been the bath salts. Postal workers are so suspicious of powdery-type substances, I think, especially if it's not officially factory sealed.

Sounds absolutely scrumptious though! Please don't feel as though you have to re-send, but if you do, it will be appreciated very much.

[ZenGum]

WTF?
In my reality, if it was officially taken there WOULD have been paperwork, saying what was taken, who took it, why, in triplicate with the supervisor's stamp. I can only presume theft, therefore.
Dunno about the USA, though ... any ideas?

[xoxoxoBruce]

That would probably be the case here also.

[Trilby]

i hope jaydaan gets her present soon!!! fingers crossed for you!

[Jaydaan]

Still, its frustrating that the good side of the gift is missing... the rest was just fluff.
At least you got it in time for Christmas!

One would think they would be knocking on my door, if it was customs. Hubby thinks the bag tore, and the heavy part fell out. The package is from my Esthetic business, and handmade. It does have my phone number including area code on it ( for re-ordering purposes) If anyone calls, they have instructions to have it mailed to Junpier instead of being returned to sender.
You might get it yet, Juni!

[Jaydaan]

Oh and the Santas are floating candles, not soaps.
