So today I received a package at work. As we have a very high security level, the package was flagged because it had a sender address from the US but was mailed from Germany. Took me a while to explain that those of us who are frequent travelers often mail stuff from a different location than our home address :).

I will open the present this evening when I get home.

Glad it made it! (If it was the one I sent...)

Just got a visit from corporate security... the gift box my SS sent set off the security xray alarm indicating a nefarious object was in the box. So I had to open two of the carefully wrapped presents for training reasons. Turns out the bluetooth speaker set off the alarm. :)

Anyways, thank you my SS for all the many presents. It looks like you definitely went over the minimum limit! I will take it home today and leave the unwrapping to my two boys ;)

Glad it made it! (Assuming it's the one I sent!). Enjoy!

The contents of the SS parcel I got yesterday.

Wonderful gifts, no card or sign of my SS though. So thank you much, dear SS! ^

Hmmm - there should have been a letter in the box - unless corporate security got ahold of that also...

I'll PM with the overall intent...

Hey, noticed a photo of a certain coffee in your photo stream- Death Wish- DH gave that to me earlier this year from a business trip. Did you enjoy it?

We did! It was strong as you'd expect and the bag lasted quite a while for us. Enjoy!

Easier said than done. I had to hide them and use the "out of sight, out of mind" principle. ;)

All these pictures are getting me excited! Waiting for one more thing for my Santee to come in the mail, and then I'll wrap everything up and send it along :D

Just arrived back to Blighty to find lots of lovely pressies from Santa, very generous and the boys love theirs and the book has been read to them a dozen times today at least !

The 3d wooden Puzzle's inventor has a special place in hell waiting for him/her.... but so satisfying when you get it right.

And the cufflinks are staring back at me from the ends of my arms :)

Santa has been most generous :)

Yes, that's the one! Thanks a lot!

PS: Mine did have a card and corporate security was not allowed to touch it as it was a personal correspondence.

Gifts 2 & 3
 
I received 3 packages from Amazon today.

Thank you, Nicholas for the 3 books from my Amazon wishlist.

Thank you, Jamie Paul, for the eau de toilette and the Qantas t-shirt. Well, I'm assuming they were both from you.

Received my first gift today. Beautiful globe ornament. Perfect ornament for someone who loves to travel:)

Oops! I was trying to give it anonymously but I forgot that since I have my own subscription it would do that. I'm so glad you will enjoy.
Be on the lookout for a couple other items.

Just received my second secret santa gift! It's a book about the Chicago Blackhawks that my son is going to absolutely LOVE!! Can't take a photo since I'm hiding it until Christmas, but thank you!
