Gifts mailed with delivery promised before Christmas. Santa DM'ed with the details. I'm good for another year!
Have received one very tempting, bulging box from "Snapdora". Am saving it to open on the 25th. Merry Christmas to all! |
Will the generous Santa who sends the bonsai trees please post further care instructions?
I received one last year, and it's still alive! :D It spent the summer outside as instructed, and now it's back in the living room, keeping my orchid company. (If we can't find time to get the Christmas tree up, maybe I'll just add a few lights to it.;)) The tree has grown quite a bit, although it lost a fair amount of soil due to pounding rains over the summer. Now there's a number of soft, green shoots going off in various directions. How the heck do I prune a bonsai tree? Just clip it back to the size it was when it arrived? If the soil gets depleted, should I do anything about it? There are a number of FT's now with these small works of living art, and care instructions from an expert are needed to keep them alive and looking good! |

bergamini and kipper guessed right that they had the same Santa! I always ship early, but this year I did the whole going on vacation during Thanksgiving thing, so I definitely sent everything out early!
I do as much stalking as I can without being too creepy, and you posted on last year's thread commenting on someone else's Lush gift that you enjoyed Lush products and you seemed to enjoy your Aesop gift last year as well (that wasn't me though). I should have sent you Yuengling instead ;) I'm from Dear Old State, so exactly the middle of nowhere-hope you've been able to imbibe in the gifts and kept some of them away from the husband :p Also, we weren't matched up during the regular season for fantasy football, but since we're facing off in the playoffs this week, I'm hoping to gift you a big fat L as well :D Hope you've had the change to enjoy the gifts! Love it all. Thank you so much!!! :-) |
Gifts have been sent! Messages are being sent. Thank goodness for online shopping as I've been really ill the past few weeks and dealing with a lot of madness in my personal life.
But! This was like a little light of fun in the darkness. Hopefully mine arrive soon at Le Boyfriend's in Sweden where I'm spending Christmas. Now to write the stack of Christmas cards that I'm dreadfully late on. |
So glad that you liked them! And yes she is :)

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)

secret santa
I sent my gift out Thursday by priority mail. The woman at the post office was kind enough to repack the items into a priority mail box which a chunk of change in mailing. It arrives at its destination Monday. I was a little late in mailing it out, but I was waiting for some ordered items to arrive. I love this Secret Santa program, it's a blast!
