You sent him hokey pokey chocolates, too! Those are AWESOME!

A kiwi coin purse made out of cute kiwi opossum fur sound delightful.

Our opossums are ugly and scary here.

ATTN: TUFFY

I'm only putting this here to be sure that you see it. Covering all the bases. Check your PM, please.

Your coins are so much better than ours, we just get dead old people and buildings, or maybe a bird.

We don't have dead people on our coins anymore.

Enjoy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_leu
The newest 50 bani ones are a lie - those with the famous people. I've only ever seen 4, I think they were limited edition or something.

I just got home to a wonderful surprise! There was a little package on my doorstep and after a small battle with some duct tape, I got it open. I got my wish, my gift was from Tuffy and it is AWESOME!

Inside I found a wooden hand model, which is awesome, because I don't have one. A makeup bag type bag filled with gum and candy and a marble, Jane Austen bandaids, hairball bubble gum, vampire repelling garlic mints, a crazy rubbery bracelet, a bag of popcorn, a small day planner, a keychain, a miniature clock, a grape soda pin, a hilarious Veterans for Romney sticker, a popcorn car air freshener, lips lollipop, AND a gift card to Victoria's Secret, which I desperately need to utilize.

There was also a small plastic bag with something wrapped in tissue paper inside. I gasped allowed when I opened it up and found what was inside.

For those of you who don't know, I made a post about being in love with this bracelet in the girl's clubhouse thread. I couldn't be more pleased and surprised! And it fits and looks lovely on my wrist!

I don't know about you guys, but I think Tuffy won secret santa. Or did I win? Either way, this is by far the best and most thoughtful package I have ever received. I'm still amazed at how much he was able to shove into a tiny box.

I could just sit here and gush away about how awesome everything is, but I'll spare you all.

THANK YOU TUFFY! YOU RULE!

*bows*

But most importantly, do you like the tape measure?!?! That was the first thing I got because I figure you must need one with you at all times.

I Tetris-ed the hell out of that teeny tiny box and applied a metric fuckload of duct tape.

Then I had to open it and remove it all to retrieve the Really Awesome Hand-Made Soap which you could in no way appreciate.

Did I include a card? I hope I did because otherwise someone else got it.

Which would be... awkward.

Seriously though, I'm glad you liked it.

Dude that bracelet!

Tuffy wins and then Melody wins for getting what she wanted. And more.

Jesus Christ Tuffy, that is one hell of a package.

Oh that is so awesome. Tuffy, you're so sweet getting Mel that lovely bracelet. Is it just Tuffy to get his Secret Santa now? Is that it?

Wow, that is great.

First Thought: "That's what she said!"
Second: "Boy, if I had a nickle..."
Third: *guffaw*

I am unable yo see the pictures, but it sounds like tuff did a wonderful job.

What a wonderfully thoughtful parcel! <3

I have that little clock in purple on my desk.

Melody is easy to shop for.

And shop some more for.

I do enjoy a good shopping.

The hand model, though. Most people would have said "a wooden hand? Tuffy's so weird!" Not Melody.

Okay, I'm a bit tipsy now.

Anyway. The thing I was most proud of is the "grape soda pin". Can anyone guess why? Take a close look at it and think "Pixar".

SATAN!

No...

Sinterklaas!

No. Black Peter...

Get with the program.

I did like the tape measure, and I actually needed one like that. You did include a card. And that's funny that there was soap and you took it out.

I didnn'a wanna; you made me.

So did everyone get their gifts?

Three guesses.

Nope.
WHY THE HELL NOT

Tradition?

I spent extra money to make sure it would be there on time Fuck you UPS.

Well, the good thing is that you can get a refund on what you paid for shipping.

And buy beer with it.

wait really?

If you shipped UPS or FedEX* with a guarranteed delivery time/date, and it wasn't received by that time, then yes, really.

* Or USPS Express Mail.

There are a couple of people still who haven't gotten theirs, aren't there?

Yes, Pep, more than one. Which means possible combinations for senders and receivers, Tuffy!

Yay! Im finally getting to post pics of my Awesome package from Don!

Look at all those wonderful goodies!!

He sent me the famous hot wing sauce. I cant wait to try this. We love the wings in this house.

He said he didnt know much about picking out yarn and had help from his wife. Well Don, You did a great job. Purple is one of my favorite colors and I love the mingling of the other colors in here. I think this yarn is destined for a scarf around my neck.

(Yes, sorry, but some of my pics would no rotate and I got tired of trying to mess with them.) I cannot wait to read this. Im glad you picked up on my guilty pleasure in my likes. And I really am a big Jim Morrison fan, so that even makes this better.

Totally unexpected and happily surprised by this book. This is one of my all time favorite movies and you said you had taught it for the last five years, wonderful.

All of your book choices to me were truly on spot. This one, Ive heard time and again, is one of the best books out there on the craft. It is on my list of "Must Gets"

Even though, all of your gifts to me were my favorites, this one is my Favorite FAVORITE! Also, it even makes it more special that you and your little one colored it together for me and bought some hapiness to you two! This resides on my fridge now.


Down to the card, your package was great and full of all my favorite things. You brought a lot of hapiness to me for Christmas Don! Thanks so much!

That's a great package for you!

Nice work, Don.

Very nicely done. That is beautiful yarn.

I just laughed a little too hard at that card. I should go to bed.

Don, I love that you added that drawing. A personal touch is the best.

So far the gifts are all amazing this year! You guys are great!

I know, right? The card was perfect!

I'm glad you liked it Winnie. We had a lot of fun putting it together:

^ Don, I Love This! You've got a cutie pie on your hands there! Please tell him I said Thank you and that I have a special place on my refidgerator where it hangs. I may have to print this pic off and put it with my colored page.

I haven't been on the internet much this week and I haven't been by the mailbox until just now. I'll post pictures once I open the box but I'm happy Noah was my secret santa. Can't wait.

Ugh I went to post pics from my phone and I had some sort of spaz attack and I skipped through like 5 pages on the phone before I could save the attachments so I have to start over. Please wait. The gifts are very cool.

Can't wait to see your package! I'm sure it's a good one.

hehehehe

Where's Tuffy's gift?

Yeah, I am worried for Tuffy

It'll be there after the new year, according to the Post office. Don't worry, everyone, it is sent and on it's way.

There was a lot of strange shit I put in that box.

Yeah you'll have to let me know if I missed anything. I'm gonna try again in a sec.
