I received a UPS package today filled with goodies from Secret Santa miko2a. Thank you! The wrapped packages are going under the tree, but the 2 bottles of wine from a local vineyard will be opened before then - can't wait to try them! Thank you!

I received an awesome gift from my SS in TX yesterday! He sent me a Amazon gift card (perfect for buying books to load on the Kindle my mom got me for my birthday), a pass for access to a United Club (perfect for my upcoming trip to Europe) and an adult gift to be used on my European vacation (he wrote a note saying that he's been on Contiki trips and knows how crazy they can get -- which makes me even more excited for my trip!).
Thanks, Secret Santa!

Yesterday I received a package from Linda containing Cards Against Humanity and the first expansion, a Calvin and Hobbes collection, and a thermos. Very exciting-can't wait to get some friends together for CAH and the thermos will be a very welcome addition to my office. I haven't seen a C&H book in years and it's definitely one of my childhood favorites 
I also believe that Lindamadguy2 is responsible for another gift, Cards Against Humanity's 8 Sensible Gifts of Hanukkah (CAH's annual holiday gag gifting). So far I've gotten 5 days of gifts-the first three were a pair of socks with menorahs lighted with 1, 2, or 3 candles (check it out), the fourth was $1 as part of a US securities fund (so far a ROI of .01% in 5 days! haha) and a "Jew Pack" (Jewish-themed set of 15 CAH cards), and the fifth was a membership to WBEZ (public radio station responsible for This American Life, Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me, etc) and a small memo book from WBEZ. Can't wait for what the last three days have in store for me
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!

Thanks, Erik.
I'm looking forward to trying that soda, although I might end up using it as a mixer with Vodka

Both of mine are sent out. I received one so far. I had some evil elves stealing boxes from my building. So if the other SS had sent theirs around beginning/middle of november, let Santa know and i can add to my report i filed at the police station.
Madguy2 i believe sent, a book Pilot Confidential, an external battery pack, and other stuff along with some cards in the mail. Many thanks madguy2. Im glad amazon reshipped the items. Bad karma will come to those who stole what you graciously sent.
One good thing has come out of it, all three packages that I know were delivered and stolen have been reshipped at no charge. I was very surprised that only 1 phone call to each place was all it took. Customer service ISNT dead.

My SS wrote a note saying he's been on some Contiki trips in the past and wishes he was still old enough to go on them because they're so much fun. So he included a box of condoms in his Secret Santa package. Regardless of if they'll get used or not, they earned quite a laugh from me when I saw them in the package!
For those that are interested, I've already started a trip report. Feel free to check it out: 7 countries in 13 days - am I crazy?!?

I hadn't read your post when another box arrived today! So now I know what I have put past recipients thru not saying anything, just teasing them with gift after gift after gift. Very exciting!
Love the latest, starting with that big ol bag of Dry Roasted Macadamias with Sea Salt And the amazon box was barely open before I cracked the can of Butter Candy Glazed Macadamias, OMG! Tossed the Kong Teddy Bear to hub to knife outta the pkg while I kept eating just one more nut, really just one more, ... til half the can was gone. But enough about me, the dog has CLAIMED that little bear, cutest thing ever by the way. He is taking a nap right now, but until then all we heard was the squeaker going off, he loves it! Thanks so much for making it fun and for ALL the wonderful presents!
See Sammy below with his new toy, did I mention he was actually a horse? Just Kidding!! He's our big guy, a Newf actually, but he just had a bath and shave with a Furby do, so he went from looking like a black bear to a miniature horse

I figured one of your other gifters might have sent you Cards Against Humanity so I went for something a little different and more obscure.

I've received two packages by USPS. One from New york and one from Seattle. I'll attempt to wait until christmas to open them. I just got back from a very long vacation and have a ton of work and mail piled up to keep me busy.
Also got a priority mail from Award HQ Arlington Heights, IL and an Amazon envelope.
