Also made the cut! Last year I was unable to participate due to an intercontinental relocation, and this year I kept it on my agenda but forgot to message wharvey until recently. Very happy to participate again :)

HeadElf53 is all caught up.

You'll receive a response when I hear back from your giftee (hopefully sooner rather than later).

Just got my assignments - super stoked as one is a "pay it back" Santa (they've been my Santa in the past) and the other gave great hints!! This should be loads of fun! :D

Today I received a pair of Enacfire E18 wireless headphones! Thank you Santa! Also, for those of you who own true wireless headphones, how do you keep from losing them-they look like something I may lose if I'm not paying attention...

2 assignments received
2 giftees shopped for
2 packages shipped

Christmas shopping done before December 1st - I guess I'll have to turn-in my man card. :cool:

Thank you [MENTION=844206]mdbe[/MENTION] for the amazing goodies from Spokane! At first I thought the tiny sweater was for my 55pound dog, but then realized it was adorable festive winter wear for the wine bottle. Love it!

My gift is going out in the mail tomorrow!

@mdbe knocked it out of the park, was a typical hump day at work and i had received no package notices so wasnt expecting anything, round the corner to my door and BOOM, fed ex box chilling by the door...https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cd4fc33911.jpg

looking at the name and from, dont recognize it, then it clicks, secret santa time!!!

Packing peanuts are always fun, debated sending a giant box of them as a joke preliminary present one year, but decided against it (may still do it this year)

The huckleberry chocolate is fantastic, well was, its all gone. Best part about being an adult is dessert before supper. The sweater is currently covering up a bottle of gluhwein my wife got from Aldi's, said its a much better look for it. The soft brittle wont survive first contact tomorrow evening, so I'm sparing it tonight from the same fate as the chocolate. Very nervous about the wine, because if I like it, will be hard to get more of it... Coffee will be fun to tear into next week once I finish the current bag I'm on.

Thank you for an awesome surprise, and I hope you and yours have a merry Christmas and a happy holiday season as well.

Looks like one of my Santas is the same Santa as the two others above - as my gift is the same. No name attached and the box came from Atlanta, Georgia rather than Spokane though. Thanks Santa!

My pleasure. I'm glad y'all are enjoying the presents... I also had gift cards taped to the outside of the boxes... I'm guessing everyone missed them...

Haha she would not have tolerated a sweater since her favorite thing to do is lay around in snow so it's better this way. Cozy wine is better! Yes, found the card, thanks. And happy holidays!

My Santa #`1 did really good. So good in fact he made my wife furious. I get a call yesterday why I'm shopping for myself around the time of xmas and my birthday. Lo and behold, a package arrives with one of the exact gifts she has purchased me. Thank you Santa very much, especially for making her fret again to figure out what to get me...

Side note -- this Santa will be sending his gift tomorrow!

Here it is - the 3-1-1 container! Woop Woop!
I've been a terrible gift recipient; I'm just getting to posting the pictures :(

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...552ea664c6.jpg
Ok, this one was already posted - still wonderful!

Another psychic FTSanta! This hat is great and it fits like a hat should. Thank you Santa!




https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7f7e49127f.jpg
I've never had a pair of eye shades, but I'm going to give these a try!!! Thank you Santa!




https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ded08642ba.jpg
What I really enjoy about FT and the Secret Santa program is receiving something that I never ever would think of! Thank you Santa!


I still have one more photo to find and upload: I received a re-usable TSA 3-1-1 container - love it!!!!!!
