Hmm, looks suspiciously like a camera bag.

It is a camera bag! And with a bunch of other presents on the inside! I'll open these on Christmas!

I did read the card though. Thank you so much, financialhippie!

My first giftee already received their gifts, and has posted here. As for my second giftee, I'm still shopping!

Hope everything works out to your liking! I thought the camera bag was pretty cool myself, and the other items will be used as well, I'm sure :D

Attention recently signed up Santees.

The office of HeadElf at Santa's Workshop is here to provide assistance to anyone that needs additional questions asked of their Santee. This office will keep your confidence. I'm happy to forward your question.

Please send me a PM if your Santee should provide additional information.

Now if you'll excuse me, I hear some of the elves yelling in the workshop. :D They've still discussing the election :eek:

One last thing, from the Believe it or Not File...

HeadElf heads off to LAS this Sunday to take a look/see at all the new toys for 2017. I kid you not. I'm still upset that this meeting takes place in December. ;) :p I'd prefer to go there in March. :D

Please send PM's prior to Sunday, or expect a delayed response. I know Santa won't fire me since I think he's fond of me. :o:D

This is a very thoughtful gift and will be enjoyed for many days to come! Thank you so much!

Received a package card notification yesterday from the local post. It said the package was from the USA :)

Picked it up today and indeed it was from the USA via Germany :D

Santa really listened to my wishes :) REESES in many forms :) I allways buy some over holidays as I love the variations but they rarely make it back to europe with me :D

The brownies suprisingly as well are on my favorite list :) had some with voffee just now :)

I will open the rest on christmas!


Thanks santa :)

Thank you to my Secret Santa, from Finland! I received the package yesterday, with a number of wrapped items, and a couple fun unwrapped items, with a beautiful Christmas card, and a $25 CX Gift Shop Voucher! I'm waiting until Christmas to open the wrapped items, so will share another photo after Christmas.

Personal Santa Request. I no longer personally participate in Secret Santa but was hoping some of you might have info/contacts to help out Santa!

As some of you know, we will be in NYC for Christmas.

I would love to surprise hubby with tickets to some shows he just told me last night (won't mention the comments I made to him about late notice.

I normally just do TKTS and take my chances but want to plan this time as there are some specific shows the hubby would love to see. I doubt these will be on TKTS.

Any suggestions on best websites for the following shows?

Hamilton (anyone ever win lottery?). :-)
The Front Page
Othello (he has crush on Daniel Craig!)
Kinky Boots
The Present
Dead Poets Society

Packages ordered and direct shipped for my second santa. First has already posted here and they seemed pleased with their gifts!

I'm off to warmer weather via a floating buffet (ie, we're cruising lol) and will see you all again on the 20th.

PS
These gifts are amazing! Will someone please PM me and tell me where they keep finding the airplane bottle opener?

Also, it must be a small world- because I have a set of the London Underground mugs (no, I wasn't your secret santa, I promise!!) as well. Brings back fond memories of London. I also have a pair of socks with the same design. I know, odd. :D

Everyone have a great time!

To whomever is my Santa- use the backup address! We're flying out tonight and sailing out tomorrow. We left the cat in charge. *sigh* hopefully my house is still standing with all the wild kitty parties she throws :D :D :D

I Won the Hamilton lottery three weeks ago, it was fantastic :)
But it's nearly impossible to win, so I wouldn't rely on that. Definitely check out Dead Poets, might be worth splurging on the full-price tix.
I'd also recommend entering The Humans lottery every day you're here, it's a fantastic play and me and my friends have a bizarre propensity to win that lottery every other week. I would assume they have a smaller pool and give away more tickets.

Glad the package made it safely. Hope you enjoy the Reese's, Little Debbie Brownies, and the other goodies once you open then. You do have to share the goodies with your kids!
