Mine came today! My Secret Santa was Boots!
She sent a fun press for homemade pastries. Right up my alley, and I'm even going to try some fun pocket sandwiches with it. Plus a nice selection of Kahlua coffees, YUM! I'll be making one tonight with a shot or two for an after dinner drink with the hubby.
I have to add my youngest LOVED the Charlie Brown card. She been playing the iPad ap for 2 weeks straight, and was so tickled I got a card with the characters.
THANKS BOOTS! Merry Christmas!

IAPT- So glad you like it! I thought the pop tart press would be a fun thing for you to do with your daughters. I love coffee and who doesn't like Kalua & coffee together? Tell your daughter that Charlie Brown Christmas is my favorite Christmas show and album. She has great taste.
My SS was RelRel!
I received an awesome SS gift! RelRel sent me not only a bag of localy roasted coffee, it smells incredible! I'm saving it for CHristmas morning. My house is going to smell wondeful! She also gave me a mug with vintage posters of Portland on it. I just love vintage posters and it's exactly the sort of thing that I would have picked out for myself. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you like the coffee, Boots! It's seriously the best coffee that I've ever, ever had. I'm actually getting another bag of that coffee for the work white elephant that I'm going to tomorrow.
You also got me a great Christmas present! I got to explore my new city while looking for items! And while looking for a post office that was open non-standard work hours (i.e., after 5pm or on the weekends). I had a blast checking out all the little stores and shops, it made me even more excited to be in a new city.

That's my favorite part of any trip to a new place. Just taking off and wandering around. It's like being an explorer.
Mine came last week but I couldn't post until now because I was out of town. My secret santa was itsapinkthing!!!
She did such an amazing job making/picking out things for me. First up, a personalized, leopard print hand pinted wine glass!!! I've already used it. I LOVE IT!!!!
Also, she gave me some gorgeous little earrings in one of my favorite colors. Plus, a beautiful ornament (already hanging on my tree), some candy canes, and....some Lindor truffles. YUM.
Thank you so much for the gifts. I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday!
Sorry I'm super late in posting this, but my Secret Santa was our lovely KaffeeKlatsch (Leanna). She sent me the most lovely chocolates (seriously, to die for!) from her home country of Germany. She also sent me a little journal as well as an pin honoring autism. Leanna, the pin is up on my bulletin board at work and the chocolates are already all gone. The journal is stashed in my every-day bag and it's sure to get used as I am always jotting things down.
Thanks for the lovely thoughts and gifts!

Relrel-so glad you liked it! Aren't those chocolates heavenly? They're the only ones I'll actually risk getting a migraine for! And I'm thrilled that they now sell them at Target and Walgreens. (For most of my life they refused to import them)
My Secret Santa was Pollyjean23 and boy did she do a great job! She sent me the loveliest box full of my favourite thing...Coffee! Two different micro-brews and a coffee mug, plus starbucks themed notepads and an awesome lollipop for my son! Thank you so much!
