Here is my secret Santa gifts from @mdbe !! We got a variety pack of Paris Limited Edition Nespresso pods (can’t wait to try all these!!), a Sphero mini (looks like fun for the whole family!), and Warrior small batch vanilla flavored vodka from Spokane (another winner!)! Love everything!! Thanks so much for the thoughtfulness you put into this!

I'm glad you like all of them. Been traveling for the last week, so excited to fly back tomorrow and open any and all packages that may have arrived.

I had no idea what a "Busy Box" was but apparently Junior does and played with it for an hour straight right out of the box!
A big THANK YOU to Mr. Jamesteroh who promptly sent weeks ago but I wanted to wait until the Christmas spirit was in full swing. Thanks again, a perfect gift.

I caved. Will have to share pictures later but I got some tasty Baklawa, an egg topper (and soft-boiled egg and soldiers is still one of my favourite breakfasts), and some packing cubes (which will come in handy for my trip home for the holidays)

I have just received a gift box from Amazon.ca that will be opened on Christmas day. Thank you Elizabeth Harris! I've also received a package at my US address that's from Crabtree & Evelyn that will also be opened during Christmas...
Thanks to all my SS and I will post pictures after Christmas.

I got a $25 Princess Awesome (https://princess-awesome.com/) gift card from Matt Blum.
Today I also got an email from them offering a deep sale, so I jumped and bought by daughter a new dress. She is going to be so excited. The pic is from the website to show which dress I ordered.
Thank you Matt

If you are the Santa who sent me the Jane Goodall book and Kavu backpack (which I used in Williamsburg this past weekend!) please let Wharvey know. He has no record of it and I want to be sure that you aren't labeled a bad santa. We love it

I have just picked up my third Secret Santa present and I’m delighted
It came from Dogmatick, and it contained a box of baklava - yummy! -, a bottle of Chivas Regal 18 years, and some Lush goodies (your assistant is amazing, Dogmatick!), together with a lovely letter explaining the thinking behind each item. I love all of the items and I’m fascinated by the air sack thing used to protect them, hehehehehehe...
I’m having trouble uploading a picture, so I’ll post this and then come back and try again.
