WooHooo!!!! My Gift has arrived! The boyfriend has not allowed me to open yet, but Ive mostly convinced him that its well known Im darksided!!! Bwa hahaha...but maybe I will wait.....Thank you Santa Claws in TN!
ok, got my pics uploaded!
Thank you Kelli Jo! I don't know what kind of 'nip that is, but my kitties were going bonkers for it, and the treats really came in handy cause then they had the munchies
the spread- notice Pandora already has her nose on the green package- it was a cute pet bowl filled with catnip satchets!
getting a little closer
lots of treats!
in the kitties' tummies!
two cute ornaments- the pic didn't come out so good, but one is an angel holding a kitty and the second is a snowman bell with my name on it!
a very cool pet health care kit-
gorgeous Laurel Burch socks
chocolate
the Lindt bar is already half way gone
and a huge crazy cat lady mug!!
I also got a cute pocket calendar, some kitty nail files (for me, not the cats
), kitty tissues in a green velvet tissue holder (maybe I'll finally be able to find them in my purse when I need them!!) and the kitties got these rubber ring toys- right now they're too stoned from the nip to play tho
Thank you again Kelli Jo!

i got a package from my SS!
Now I've just got to get my act together and take some
I've got to tell you, Secret Santa, that this couldn't have happened at a better time. For some reason, I've been kind of depressed today, so when hubby opened the front door to go get the mail and your package was sitting on the porch, it was a real mood lifter.
Now, I've just got to convince deal ole hubby that it's ok to open before the big day. I've been sharing all along how people open as they receive (mostly), but he has it in his mind that I need to wait. Some people! Whatever, I'm going to open the main box in the morning and just take it from there.

I am still waiting for those pics
I got home at the end of a very long, frustrating day and found a package sitting by my front door. The return address is from my TCS SS in Michigan. Thank you, Secret Santa!
The box is loaded with presents, which the kitties helped me pull out. I did get some pictures, although I suspect one or two of the toys went missing before I could catch them.
I figure the Ghirardelli chocolate is fair game since it wasn't wrapped in Christmas paper.
There are so many presents wrapped individually, I'll be able to open one or two a day and still have lots to open on Christmas Day. That way I get to be both a darksider and lightsider.
I seriously need to get some sleep before I do anything else. I'll upload the pictures from my camera tomorrow and try to get them posted here.
BTW, I know who my SS is. Or at least I know who her kitty is. A quick TCS search will tell me who the kitty meowmy is.
Here you go. Your wait is over.Originally Posted by cheylink

When I opened the box, I found this adorable card inside:
And here's the nice note inside the card:
Here are the cats checking out the presents:
And here are Tiny and Tre with the presents under the tree:
Of course the box the presents came in got a lot of attention, too:
First up were 4 small presents, one for each of my cats:
They were cute little furry mice. They had rattles inside, which the cats really seemed to like. Thufir went nuts over them and didn't pay attention to which mouse was for which cat. The grey mouse was missing its tail after about 10 seconds.
More in the next post.
Part 2:
The next 2 presents were a cute squirrel and a frog that were filled with catnip packets:
Here's Thufir checking out the squirrel:
Thufir playing with the frog while Tre watches:
Tiny really got down with the frog once she got it away from Thufir:
The other presents for the cats were catnip bubbles and a tub of catnip:
Tre enjoying a little bit of the 'nip:
For me, there was a bag of Lindor truffles and a tasty gingerbread man:
Many thanks to my SS, cheylink. The kitties had a blast playing with their gifts, and of course with the box and the wrapping paper.
The truffles are already gone and the poor gingerbread man is not doing so well as he's lost a lot of body parts.

Awwww, what GREAT gifts guys! I love seeing all of the wonderful, thoughtful things that people are getting!
I hadn't checked this thread in awhile, but went through all the other pages last night and this morning. Wonderful gifts, everyone!!
I keep checking here for pictures and I was in luck! Great gifts! The expression on Tre's face is priceless.
Brilliant gifts and great photos. I love the idea of the cat health care set - never seen anything like that over here.
What is a cat health care set?

this:
Well, you were right! There was both chocolate AND a llama to be freed, along with many other wonderful things. And you should know, since YOU were my Secret Santa
Here are the pix:
First, the box, with Darko lurking
The opened box, with Stinkpot investigating
Now Callie and Darko have been drawn into the action
And look! There's a llama in there! Isn't he just the cutest thing?
Darko says "don't worry Mom, I'll kill it!"
While he was busy with the llama, Callie was busy with more investigating of packages. Look at them all!!!
And look at the wrapping paper. Isn't that just the cutest stuff? Here's a close-up. It's "twisted whiskers".
OK, here the loot (hope I'm not forgetting anything): 4 dark chocolate candy bars, a bag of Andes mints, a bag of Milano cookies, a cat frame, a 365 day calendar with brain games (much needed for this old, cracked brain!), nail polish and accessories, a keychain, santa socks, handmade bracelet and earrings, a cuddly blanky (for me, but I'm sure I'll be sharing, since blankies are kitty magnets around here), a Catnip Kiss, some kitty treats that I need to bake and cut out with a fish cookie cutter (very cool), more cat treats with a mouse on a string in the same box (I still need to investigate that one further), the catnip filled llama which MUST also be handmade, and finally, homemade sugar cookies, each one having an inital on them that spelled out my Secret Santa, Sillyitaliangrl! ('course, the cookies weren't in order, so first I had to figure out just what they spelled!! Remember, old, cracked brain here
Here's a close up of just the cookies. They were vacuum packed in a food-saver thing. How very clever. Didn't even need a box.
THANK YOU, Danielle!!
How very clever! ANd I love the llama!
Hmmm, I'll bet I know who it is! I'll tell for cookies, bahahahaha!Originally Posted by GoldyCat

I figure the Ghirardelli chocolate is fair game since it wasn't wrapped in Christmas paper.And there is a cute ceramic heart-shaped box stuffed with homemade candy.Well, it's only half-full now.How did you know I love unique little boxes? I'm pretty sure I didn't put that on my SS list.
There are so many presents wrapped individually, I'll be able to open one or two a day and still have lots to open on Christmas Day. That way I get to be both a darksider and lightsider.

I know. But what does it have in it?
