I'm currently on vacation for the week but my roommate just told me I got a FedEx package delivered today. Can't wait to head back and see what I got...hopefully it's my first Secret Santa gift!

Second package has arrived! It came from the beautiful Switzerland. I got:
- A really nice alpine bottle
- Very tasty swiss mountain tea
- An amazing swiss bag
Will post pictures of both presents as soon as I can.
Thanks a lot Swiss Circle!

Also wanted to add that I am one unhappy Santa today too 
Posting gifts this year was at an all time record of over $230 in postage for 6 parcels. One alone was $67 which weighed under 1kg and was small!!!! (Cheapest postage)
I urge any Aussies or New Zealand FT's join up for future years to ease the burden for all of us having to always ship overseas so many gifts. Yes it's my choice of course to have 6 Santas but it's on my wish list! Ho Ho Ho

Just received my first secret santa package from a neighbor also in NJ!
After contacting a mutual friend with the clues provided from my SS, I think I was able to put a name to my SS. Beth?? 
Anyway inside was a great makeup kit from sephora (and a sephora ornament), some yummy godiva truffles, a trendy neck pillow, a $10 starbucks card, and a cute photo frame
Loved opening all the gifts (couldn't resist)… I will post pics soon! Thanks!

What a wonderful Secret Santa!
I had listed some of my favorite things and SJLandsverk checked them off and put them in a Fed Ex pkg. 3M Tear By Hand Tape (hard to find and not cheap) and TokyoMilk 02 Lotion (same traits) AND, not to be boring, he introduced me to a yummy confection I had not tried before, Magic Morsels, dif flavored little boutiquey brownies, taking a clue to what I might like from my love of See's. He sent me a whole box!
And he did something I always love when SSs do it ... he enclosed a Christmas card
He signed his ft handle and I have no problem taking the time to post and thank him for such a perfect gift 


Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Many thanks to Bravado04 for his gift to me of an assortment of electronics including a mini speaker, earbuds, and a mobile charger. Cheers!

Made it to my parents' for Thanksgiving, and opened the box that has been waiting for me here.
I figured out who this Santa was, and have sent Santa a PM thanking them, but figured it's only proper to share my gifts here too.
The card I received says, "contained in this box are a few of my favorite items." The box included a wild game cookbook that "actually contains real recipes that are not from the late 1800's," a pair of pull-apart shears that are designed to cut through bones and stems, treats for the kibblers, great socks (I LOVE socks, and am on a moratorium from buying socks), dog slobber hand sanitizer, and a pink, Realtree APC camo hostess apron!
The card also mentioned Mauser, and indicated that my Santa not only made a contribution to a friend's Monster Holiday Drive, but shared it as well (which I love!).
The wild game cookbook will definitely come in handy, as on Monday, I have to pick up Mr. Kipper's deer from archery season! The dogs would not leave me alone while I was opening their treats, and I soon understood why!
The socks are great--Mr. Kipper laughed and said that the "sock whore" on the foot of them describes me perfectly! I love the apron, and will be wearing that while I prepare Thanksgiving dinner.
The shears will definitely be put to good use too!
Thank you so much, Santa!!!!!
