If my Santas have sent presents to me, please note that you are using a different address for me and because they are not being sent directly to me, for once, I can't rip them open as soon as they arrive! I know, this disappoints some, as you can't tease me about my lack of patience now, but using that address was the best option.

This is the hardest (and most fun) part. Getting them something creative, different, and useful that they will like. Hopefully, they won't think it is junk, and you have introduced them to a new product that they may not otherwise have tried.

I got these a few weeks ago.. I managed not to open and eat them but that battle is now lost. I am halfway through the Lindor but doing my best to keep the others until December! Many thanks for my Secret Santa!

all gifts wrapped and shipped today, went a little longer then planned but I had some difficulties deciding on some. I went quite exotic for some, put of my comfortzone for sure but I tried to find something fun unique and odd hopefully I succeeded

I try to find something fun and different, something useful sometimes but uniquely odd at the same time 😂 something they would not necesarily buy for themselves
Those are the gifts that I myself enjoy getting myself 🤷♀️😁

We received the first of our Secret Santa Gifts. Some great food goodies from N. Carolina. We were just in Asheville in August and don't remember seeing any of these items. Thanks Redhead. We have only opened a couple so far but great to try some things we have never seen or tried before.

Those are some of the best gifts. Thing you'd never have thought off yourself, yet something that is uniquely useful and nice. Difficult to hit as the giver, but the efforts that is put in is part of the joy of receiving it.

Indeed.
One year I got the baubax travel jacket that was awesome, I had thought about buying it but never did.
I have also received alot of nifty travel stuff over the years and when I find a useful travel tool or one that helps ease my travels I try to buy those too and send at christmas Time
