I came home from work to find a package on the front porch. Having ordered a bunch of stuff recently for a tractor I am trying to rebuild I didn't think much of it until I opened the box.
Thank you Jerrod from VA for the gifts, I do like them! I did a double take when I saw the 200 Kuna bill. Having never seen Croatian money before my first though was HOLY **** someone sent me 200 Euro. Then I looked it up and laughed. I do have family in Zagreb so when I finally get a chance to visit him I will be prepared!
Thanks!

Christmas came early for me as my Secret Santa gifts arrived.
It started with a note on a tag


I received some awesome gifts:

Cat poetry magnets
A Mets beer pilsner glass (Santa must know me since I don't think I mentioned in my description I'm a Mets Fan.)
A Grumpy Cat Holiday toy!
That's Tigger who is upset she has to wait until Dec 24 to open her Santa Paws gifts
Secret Santa you know me very well. MANY MEOWY THANKS!!!
Also got these great Cat Dad socks. I did not know where they came from but Santa Wharvey told me it's part of the Secret Santa gift feast.

UPDATE: I Figured out how to post pictures so here they are! A few Shiner Red Ruby Ales helped!
I'm touched. I would have waited to open if they were wrapped.
Secret Santa... if you are in NYC sometime drop me a line and let's meet!

I downloaded the photos to an album in My Flyertalk. I don't know if you can see the photos but I'm not tech savy.

Parcel from Japan received this morning. Made the decision to go ahead and open the gifts (it is Sinterklaas today in the Netherlands).
A big thank you to my Santa, we all had fun unwrapping the gifts and are very happy with what we found!

One of the gifts is closely related to something I sent out to one of my recipients, but a style I didn't try yet so very happy to receive it.
Thanks again!

Received a few presents over the week after returning from holiday travels as well as a card, believe they're from two separate santas.
Package 1: Direct package with USPS label
Package 2: Uncommon Goods package, believe this one is for yours truly
Package 3: Photojojo package for the wife
Package 4: Amazon package for the family
We'll see how long I can hold off on opening

Came home today to find a nicely wrapped package in the parcel locker-apparently it had been sitting there for about a week and I wasn't notified by the complex's manager, and only found it because a personal package that arrived today was placed right next to it-whoops!

I opened the package (after I destroyed the wrapping) to find a great assortment of gifts: Exploding Kittens (a card game-no kittens will be harmed in its playing), Coup (another card game), Maggi (a ramen brand popular in southeast asia), Bertie Bott's every flavor beans, a lake toba keychain, and some cards and a pin from some games. What's that depicted on the pin?

Thanks so much madguy2!
ETA: ate the jelly beans, and I'd have to say half of them were either booger, rotten egg, or vomit...

The character is from Fire Emblem: awakening. It was a random shot in the dark

The other two characters are Spy from team fortress 2 and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts
Haha, I guess the every flavor beans are more prank-ish than enjoyable.

I also received another wonderful box from Amazon with another selection of Tea Forte' teas and a guidebook about Iceland. There was no gift receipt note in that box-I am not sure if it is also from CKidder331 or from an anonymous Secret Santa. It is a wonderful gift-thank you!
