Wow-I will be on the lookout-the wine will be an excellent stress reliever! You are very generous and kind!
You are welcome - enjoy! Good wine is essential after long days at work 
Ridge Zin was one of the first "very nice" wines to which I was introduced many many years ago while still in college.
There is another package en route containing a different type of stress reliever aka indulgence...

My secret Santa was rather efficient and shipped his gift of 2 handmade sake (or sauce) cups rather early on the 7th! The missed delivery slip showing I had an overseas package from Japan threw me a bit for a loop, til I recalled secret Santa... thanks CPH-Flyer for the thoughtful gift!
He literally tried to pick a gift quoted on my write up and though it wasn't available, this was a very worthy replacement. And with such a nice message that came with it, wish I'd thought of that one myself.
Pics up in a bit once I get a proper wifi conn. Hopefully my gift is on the way to its recipient as we speak.

Nicely done CPH Flyer. I thought I'd recognised the style of the cups, I've frequented that same Isetan myself on previous trips. Great selection of things there, I usually end up with quite a few unplanned knick knacks!

I came home from Shanghai and found an Amazon box in front of my door. I said to myself....hmmmmm, I thought I received all of the items I ordered before I left, but nevertheless I picked it up and brought it in. I didn't open it until two days later and then I spent a good minute trying to decipher the first sentence of the gift note of what I thought was code 
about an LCD monitor and walaaaa after I read the second sentence it was then revealed it was my Secrete Santa FlyerTalk gift from Mr./Mrs. Anonymous.
thank you so much for my Amazon gift card.

I ended picking up a couple of items for myself as well. Isetan can be dangerous for your credit card

And to echo a comment I made in an earlier post, one of the things I am enjoying the most is discovering new sources/brands that I had not heard of before, but are favorites of my Secret Santas.

Another big Thank You to Mr. DPlus. This is so clever - designed to securely hold your cords, etc. while traveling. Very cute themed fabric and really well designed. Thank you, this will come in so handy!

Gift received from Secret Santa
Thank you to my Secret Santa, from Finland! I received the package yesterday, with a number of wrapped items, and a couple fun unwrapped items, with a beautiful Christmas card, and a $25 CX Gift Shop Voucher! I'm waiting until Christmas to open the wrapped items, so will share another photo after Christmas.

Thank you to MissyDarlin and Charles Squires! My daughter mixed up the tags so not sure who gave what but we loved the:
- Duplo legos: my daughter actually is home sick from daycare today so they are getting use!
- Bath bombs - I've already soaked twice. Mmm, wonderful
- Bath salts - love the scents
- Essential oils - totally taking your idea Missy and mixing to make a sugar scrub!
- Mandala coasters - already in use since my old coasters were falling apart
- Blank note cards - perfect for holiday thank you gifts
- Dalek earrings - I've already worn them and my daughter said "Daleks Mommy!" I'm raising a Dr Who fan
- I can't believe I forgot to list the cool socks - art socks. I'm wearing the George Washington ones today and feeling powerful
Thanks!!!!
