Arghhhhh! I sent an email to my Secret Santa about the whereabouts of the gift I left on his front porch and he just messaged back that he's in Florida until the 7th! I'm going back to retrieve it in the morning!

Managed to retrieve it and will try to deliver in the New Year.

A baseball hat from a local golf course, ball marker, and a matching sharpie, a micro USB cable (which for having a thousand of them it seems, I never have one on the road) and a cable organiser. The cable organiser is something I badly needed. My backpack always seems to have cords flying out everywhere, and I can never seem to find what I need.
Try Boxed for the cheez balls

I received my gift but not opening until later. Funny how we got each other lol.

Well looks like only one secret santa gift made it by christmas this year 😃 The last mail delivery before christmas arrived today. International deliveries can be tricky. Perhaps by new years 😃

Merry christmas and happy holidays to all here on FT and the SS thread 😃 I look forward to seeing what everyone got, I was happy to read that my giftees received and liked their gifts 👍 allways a fun challenge, and experience.

This. I found mine on Boxed. It was actually my first order from Boxed, IIRC.

Can I ask people to please send me messages letting me know what you specifically ship and receive? I still have lots of holes in my spreadsheet and I am getting a bit concerned.

Received a fun Savannah-themed box from B00mer89 - Honey, tea, salts and seasonings along with fab cookbook. The personalized ornament is a nice touch - it is always hard to find anything with my name spelled correctly. I'm afraid I will lose the lip balms to my daughter as soon as she sees them...

Thanks so much for the goodies!

Thanks, Jen, my fellow Mass Flyertalk member for my box of goodies. Pictures will follow. I got a lovely bottle of red wine, a book all about the Boston molasses flood (which I knew about, but not any of the details), a lovely candle, a traveling massage roller (what a great idea! ) and a legal drinking glass. Love them all, and stopped my day to devour the book!

It's the only book about the molasses flood. It's called Dark Tide, appropriately. It's very thorough and well written.
