The monetary value of the gift is not the point
The thought, the time, the effort it took is the point
I'm sure your SS will appreciate it.

exactly.

Ha ha ha, what a great way to put it..... and so very true.

I might package it up in a few shipments so that it arrives staggered over a few days. It's nice to received packages! Especially around Christmas.
It is indeed so nice to recieve packages/cards/etc. around the holidays
You are so right.

Why not give details without the pictures ;-)
You need sleep more than we need pictures.

I'm in the same situation. I worked almost 70 hours in 5 1/2 days this week!

However, here are pictures:

A mysterious box

A clue. Maybe misdirection?

A box of waffles? The cats say not.

Hmmm. A card on the top.

Some writing, and maybe another clue or two.

A full box, with something to interest 3 of the cats on top. (Punkin thinks all treats are yuck.)

A fishy full of toys that interest Sterling.

A couple of cute toys.

A mysterious, heavy gift. Cats show no interest.

Some more wrapped gifts.

The cats play while I unwrap.

What was in the mysterious heavy gift.

One of the wrapped gifts. Dottie will love it.

The other wrapped gift. Should be great on cool mornings.

Jeeves trying out the fleece throw. Blends right in!

And one final item on which to jot down good ideas for next year!


A pretty good haul, the cats say, and there are hints there may be more...

It only gets worse as we get closer to Christmas. This next week, I have back-to-back trips to Lafayette, LA, and Hattiesburg, MS. No home time in between.

Mike, I didn't realize you were working so much! Sorry to harrass you! I just got caught up in the excitement - and I'm not even participating in SS this year!


Great pictures - and great gifts!
The kitties sure do approve - and that's what counts, right?

That rose is so cool...even if it's a complete giveaway who it came from.

It is! It seems like every time I log in there are more cool presents in this thread. I think at least half the fun is seeing what other people are getting.

Mike, you got a great haul there! The kitties sure seem happy. Jeeves has the most lovely coat, by the way.

Wishing I were anywhere but here
On my birthday I received a package from my secret santa. I just now had time to post a picture! I was totally surprised and my dad and all my friends thought it was totally amazing for someone to do that for me on my birthday!
I can't even remember what I did last year on my birthday or if I even did anything at all because it was the first year without my mom.

Even with all the crap I went through - the friends I have lost and my dad being sick - this year my birthday was awesome and that much more special because of someone who thought of me and made sure I got the package that day. If I didn't say it enough already - you are an awesome SS!!! Anyone who takes the time to make things for me is very thoughtful and caring. THANK YOU!! I had a rough week at work with a coworker being mean to me so that really made my day!




I got 5 candles (Spiced Pumpkin, Almond cookie -one of my new favorites!, Autum Wreath, French Vanilla, and Good Morning)

I got a bag full of chocolate, a shower gel and lotion, Ghirardelli chocolate, and a chap stick shimmer (thanks - my lips get chapped all the time!)

The shower gel, lotion, chocolate, chap stick all came in this cute cat tin!!

My SS also made some awesome homemade cookies!!!
I think I ate half of them already!!


I was thinking that this was my christmas gift, but this was my birthday gift! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so thoughtful! I am not used to such kindness and often give so much to others that it takes me my surprise when I have someone as awesome as you! I feel so blessed to have you as my SS!!!
Thank you!
