I think if someone wants to spend more then that is their choice.

Absolutely. And everyone seems to put a lot of thought into their gifts, too. That's because we're all "sensitive cat-type people."

My package came but I wasn't home to accept it so it's going to be at the post office after 1pm tomorrow. I'm rushing right out after I get home tomorrow to go and pick it up. But I'm not opening it until Christmas!

Add my name to that list!! I had a notice from the post office yesterday so I went down today and picked up my package from Tracy aka MissMew!

I was Tracy's secret Santa a few years back and she and I do chat fairly regularly so it was a really fun surprise to get that package from her today!!

I took pics but my computer is doing updates since I hardly turn it on these days so it'll be just a bit before I get them on here. Beside that, it's buried behind the baby's things since DH is still working on the nursery.

I'll list everything with the pictures; but I want to say a very big THANK YOU to Tracy!!

Mooch and Noodles thank you too; as you will see in the pics and video I have to come!

Sorry, literally passed out last night after opening my package. Yesterday, was an exhausting day for my household. But, enough of that.....

Gail (GailC) was my SS and literally, she couldn't have sent me anything better. Loved the 'homemade' feel to the gift and everything will (or already) get used fast!

I had so much fun with this package....so did the furkids.

I'll do this post in two parts......too many pics. Me, take too many pics?

Gigi checking out the gifts...

Look at the card! It's Steve and Gigi!

Some serious treats for the kids!

The name of the bakery says everything.... Gigi couldn't wait for me to open the package!

This toy is literally the end all of cat toys.

Check out Gigi! I had to wrestle with her to get the toy back.


More toys!!

Keeping the eye on the prize

Part II in next post..........

 

[russian blue]

Part II - the wonderful gifts continue!

Steve enjoying some homemade toys by Gail. Steve was not feeling too well so he's not in many pics last night.

Gail continues with the wonderful handmade wreath for the tree....


These cookies were too good. I couldn't even get a pic before we broke the package open!

Some favourite recipes were also part of the package..check out the cat recipe cards....

Cat tissues! Where do you find this stuff. Classic!

A cat Christmas ornament.....very cool. Check out the high heels.

And a new keychain.....I so need one. You can't see from the pic but it says Cats Rule on the bottom.


There was also some chocolate and hot chocolate mix that was also included. Yum, yum!

THANK YOU Gail! You're absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed everything. Thanks so much for putting this package together for all of us!

You're very welcome!

I knew that the moment you saw the address on the box I was had

I hope you didn't mind that I didn't wrap the gifts. I orginally had them wrapped and then the box wouldn't close

 

[starryeyedtiger]

Gail, I love those cat tissues- too cute!! Where on earth did you find those?

My pets are horrible!!!! Both mine and my mom's have tried to get into my package!

Isabella especially is convienced it's for her....she lays on the tree skirt next to it and tries to kill any other pet that walks past the box

I have 5 darkside cats (my 3 and my mom's 2) and 3 darkside dogs (my german shepherd & daschound and my mom's beagle!) vs. 1 lightside me!!

This makes things tempting

I shall resist though!!

They keep trying to conviencing me that I need to open it

At one point they were ALL by the tree checking it out (it's the only present under the tree right now...I'm considering moving it into my closet for safety's sake if they don't loose their fascination!)
