Secret Santa?

[perkana]

it's ok, check your pm!

[perkana]

I hope by tomorrow we can laugh our asses off!

on an non-bitchy topic, Mescal your little one is beautiful! so sweet.

I have sent three postcards from Mexico to the US. Two of them took almost 50 days to arrive and the other took about 70 days......

Most likely it will eventually arrive, but you probably could have walked it to the destination faster.


Count your blessings though, I sent a postcard from Spain and it took 93 days to arrive in the US.

[Pure Method]

Yep, he will be 3 on February 7th.

It's his third Secret Santa :)

They do grow very fast ...

Really Happy you enjoyed the gifts! As for my secret santa, do not fret - I have not been home in Washington D.C. for nearly 3 weeks, but I'll be checking in later today!

Yup, next year I'm sending my package between Sept.- Oct. But seriously, this is just crazy.

[Larry B.]

Those are pretty thoughtful, really really cool.

As a side note, my Reddit secret santa gift arrived today and it's in a country nearby my ANR receiver's... so I'll keep my fingers crossed for this week.

[perkana]

Finally! I had to pick up my SS box at the post office because I was away when it arrived, but it was worth the wait! (And fortunately they still had it at the post office)


My presents came inside this Long Island tote bag with those cute poinsettias.


The loot


Back: Scentsy, a ceramic candle warmer with a holiday candle collection from my SS's hometown.
Snow in a can and magazines from the Hamptons and LI.


Front: Chocolate honey truffles and honey from Catskill Provisions. Plus, a bottle of LIV strawberry sorbetta liqueur.
Xmas card in Spanish (thought that was too damn sweet!), an almond sugar cookie and chocolate dipped strawberry from The Secret Garden.


Tshirt, P4P single and VHS show from Mr. Cheapo (my SS wanted to send me something Perky related)


Map of Long Island with the places for each gift (plus a letter in which my SS detailed every one of them)




My SS is Sue!! Thank you very much for the gifts. I loved them all


Since I had to go to the post office, I found out they were selling a series of stamps of my favorite Mexican wrestler.


So this is my Three Kings day present to me

Hope every one had great holidays! and looking forward to next year's Secret Santa xo

Most welcome, man! Glad you like everything!

[Sue]

FINALLY!!! Like it was said, I could have brought it there faster myself!
So glad you liked it and it got there intact, especially the LIV bottle.

Next time maybe we can draw names in September, I know that takes a little fun out of it but it takes the stress out too

Ok I feel better now, that missing package was a thorn in my side. Nice of your post office to hold onto it though.

[Sue]

Oh perkana, I wanted to mention that my first inclination was to get you tickets for Café Tacuba but I didn't know your schedule to choose a show and couldn't figure out the Mexican Ticketmaster site, way confusing!

Also searched high and low for 'Re' on vinyl or a Café Tacuba tour tshirt or memorabilia, no dice. Not anything good anyway.

I really loved doing this, it was fun and I love giving gifts
Cheers to a great 2015 and next year's SS

[Artemis]

People still to receive:


Chaos
Warped
Larry B
Nausearockpig


*Perhaps the senders can try to follow up on the status of their package.
I know that one of the gifts was sent right around Christmas, so of course it is late.
Larry's usually arrives around the middle of January or later.

That was very sweet of you! I'm just happy to get them after all the unnecesary drama (another reason I don't like big religious celebrations like the Virgin's, I thought nobody worked, but the post office)
I agree on doing this around Sept/Oct

[Mescal]

Yeah, mine was sent out around Christmas ... but I don't have any tracking number.

It'll arrive, be patient grashopper

[chaos]

Secret Santa has arrived!!!






These put a smile on my face: a pair of bear booties/slippers:




A cd by the Belgian band - The Sore Losers, Roslyn:



Chocolate squares for hot cocoa:




And a bottle of Duvel Tripel Hop beer:

Duvel Tripel Hop is brewed with three hop varieties and each year the third hop is changed to provide its own unique taste and aroma. This keeps the final flavor profile surprisingly exciting for any true beer lover.

Thanks Mescal! I love all of my gifts. You made excellent choices.

[Artemis]

Nice!
I was wondering why Mescal asked me for your shoe size.


Okay, so 3 people left to receive:

Warped
Nausea
Larry B

[perkana]

Can't believe Mescal's got before than mine. Lovely gifts by the way
