HO HO HO! It is time to sign up for 2014 FT Secret Santa!
Well after waiting two hours staring at a box I got today. I couldn't wait any longer.
A MASSIVE thanks to my Santa from Connecticut who sent me the most wonderful of gifts. We have been corresponding via email the last 2 weeks as the box went mia thanks to aus post. I hope you will email me and let me know who you are.
The gifts are simply all wonderful. Mr Jinxy was jealous that I had 7 presents to unwrap and a lovely card. I can honestly say I love them all
Holiday Barbie love love love
Soap from Connecticut which is awesome
The funniest weirdest lip balm name I've ever seen
Cat socks
Sequined tweezers
Lavender candle
And a nice bag satchel (wash bag perhaps? But looks homemade or designer and very nice even for an iPad)
Hopefully this pic works

Sooooooo I know Secret Santa means before you don't tell who you got (aka in a group of friends or my old office like I've done before) but after the gift is received there can be the reveal I hope...because I put a note signed with my FT handle in mine lol.

I have to do some stalking and guessing for my assignments, but that's part of the fun. Last year I believe I was the first to send a gift (at least my recipient was first to post about it) but I will keep things a bit more suspenseful this year.
I don't think my gift recipients found out my identity last year (or maybe they did but weren't obvious about it, or I was just oblivious; I digress). I am going to try and leave some cryptic hints this time around.

Thanks to an Awesome Secret Santa!
I received a surprise gift today from a Secret Santa with the initials AA - an Xpress Spa gift card (you know- the neck/chair massage places in many airports). This is something I have been unsuccessfully hinting to my family about for years.
Thank you, Secret Santa - what an AWESOME surprise gift! Tucking this into the travel briefcase right now.

I've obviously been a very good girl
Another present landed to me via email this morning from Ireland.
Many many thanks to AH for the $40 Cosmetics gift card....will certainly be put to good use (have emailed you back also)

For international shippers I'd like to warn about customs.
If you get a $50 gift and send it to me directly from Amazon, I will have to pay 20-30 dollars of customs fees.
If you get a $50 gift sent to your home, put into new box, add a christmas card and send it as private person, I will get the package delivered directly to me without fees, and will be very happy
I'm going to investigate the customs rules for all countries I am sending to so that I don't surprise my giftee badly. And extra bonus of having no invoices in the package is also nice.

Santa reminder. REMEMBER, you need to Private Message me details on what you SHIP and RECEIVE... posting in this thread is not sufficient.... I keep very detailed records.... and do not want to have to search this thread and try to guess on gifts.
PLEASE help Santa.....
