Great gifts everyone! laureen, who was your ss?
My friend and I went shopping the other day and bought some TimTams at Target. I had packed some food to take home with her and after she left I noticed she took the rest of the TimTams too!Originally Posted by katachtig
We must find a way to correct this. I finally found a place here and the entire box was gone in a day
Excellent! Who is it from???
Nice haul, Laureen!
Excellent haul!Originally Posted by calico2222
A breathtaking print of a tree in Maine that I really need to get a frame for soon; a very warm scarf in green and red that I really need this winter; vanilla lip balm (also needed!) and lobster breath mints...(hmmm...?) A beautiful kitchen towel and I didn't realize it had 2 cat ornaments wrapped in it (one broke...sorry, I was so excited...but super-glue fixes everything). A cat note pad with 2 bookmarks. One was hand made in Istanbul, so that is going to stay in the packaging, but the other will be worn to death in the next few months, I'm sure. Plus a TON of candy and a Yorkie Candy bar that says "it's NOT for girls"...I fought DH off though and hid it.Not to mention all the dog and cat treats and cat toys. 2 catnip mouses that I am saving until after the dogs go to bed.
OHHHH!! I almost forgot! I also got a pack of "cat butt gum". I took a pic but it didn't turn out. But, it's for when you want "attitude"...that could be dangerous!!

I haven't opened my present yet, I'm almost thinking that I would like to wait until Christmas to open it this year. I don't know though, the dark side is compelling!
Awesome! Wow, I love (what I can see of) the tree picture!Originally Posted by calico2222

Wonder who lives near enough to Maine to post from there and confuse you?
Everyone is getting fantastic gifts! Wow, some people have been totally spoiled, it's amazing.
Karen - are you ever going to invite your friend back after such a major transgression?
I guess I'll have to check if our Target has TimTams. They do have quite a few international chocolates (YUM), and if so, I'll have to get one for me and one for my SS.

Yeah, I would've reported it to the authorities. (The SPCC)Originally Posted by pushylady

WooHoo! When I was leaving to go to the gym Thursday evening, I got a late package delivery, and it was from an unknown address in the USA. By the time I came home from the gym, kitties were quite insistent that I open it, and since I was not 100% certain it was from SS, I had to open it to be sure
And it was! Ill let the pics tell the story, but the short of it is, it took me about 3 hours to become fully darksided! mmmm yay! Here we go...
Please open Meowmy!
Something in here for me?
What about me?
Found it!
This is the one!
rowr!
fun for all!
The complete Haul
Best part-new cat bed deluxe version
Everything was really enjoyed. There was 2 boxes of Jujubes (my absolute fave!! but I was already eating one...the other might also be eaten by now
) My Secret Santa was Catfriend, who did an excellent job even throwing in a free pen! What a cheer up for the weekend

It all looks so wonderful. Your SS did a wonderful job.
No kidding! You can give your cats a new cat bed, but more often than not, they want the box that it came in.
The kitties are definitely on the Dark Side.
It is now official. The second "C" in SPCC also stands for catnip.
I got my package today!!!!
Pictures to come soon?
Well, it's hard to ignore insistent cats!Originally Posted by Februa

I think the nicest gift sitting in that box is that gorgeous black cat!
Of course, I would say that, being the black cat person that I am!
I haven't heard a thing from my SS.
Y'll are getting some nice gifts!

Ok, first get your dramamine out...I have not idea why the pics are so funky...these were taken by both me and DH so I don't think it was operator error...but, who knows.
Anyway, since it's hard to see in the pics, I got:

Thank you so much SS!!! Now, to figure out who you are. I have a few clues so let me go investigate........

Thank you so very much, SS!!! I've already busted into the chocolate, put on some wonderful vanilla sugar fragrance, and have my Santa Claws socks to wear tomorrow to work
Going to be trying to find out who my SS now
Have a cookie, Tara!
Looks like the kitties made out good!
What were the kitty names (hints)?

Honestly you guys, things have been pretty bad lately on a personal level for a while now (rather not go into detail if that's alright) that I think this year's Christmas is going to be pretty tight. So, I think I'm going to wait until Christmas to open my present so I have something really nice to look foward to! I know my wonderful Secret Santa put so much love and kindness into my gift- it gives me something to look foward to be excited about right now! I'm already looking foward to opening it up at Christmas!!!Originally Posted by AlleyGirl
Open it!!!!!!
That's my plan at the moment! Hopefully I can resist the temptation to open it early!Originally Posted by pushylady
