what?

cborgman said:

i have yet to hear that the person i gifted got theirs

i have yet to get mine

oh yeah, and what has to be so fresh? are you sending a turd?

Cuddles said:

well, it's like a turd to me, but...

my person requested (among other things) something that represents where i live. since i am a new yorker, i am sending (among other things) bagels. people love our bagels. i'm not sure why, i hate bagels, but people rave about nyc bagels.
and something from enteman's, whose baked goods i do love. entemanns is not common outside of this area, i think.

kewl

It's hard to get good bagels outside of the NY area.

johnart said:

i don't get bagels.

but hopefully my reciepiant does. they are a big ol' ny representation though

I also used to love a pretzel from a cart right outside the Lincoln tunnel.

i love a good bagel.

I also LOVE Entenmann's chocolate covered donuts & lemon pies.
Used to get them in Florida.
Just did a search and found out that they used to make Entenmann's products here in the UK in the Sara Lee plant but it closed in 2003.

Oh Thank you Peb319!!! She gave me a hand painted ornament (in a beautiful purple velvet box) that she had, which I think is a wonderful and thoughtful idea, and a little boyd's bear angel cat ornament that is oh so cute. plus a lil stocking full of yummy candy and some coconut lime shower gel and lotion with those awesome fuzzy socks! Oh and ofcourse a blade of grass from florida!
Thanx so much! I love it all! I will post pics but don't have my camera with me today.
I wish I could have sent a blade of grass too...but, alas our grass is covered in snow already

So far I have received 2 out of the 3 packages my SS has sent...my SS knew exactly what I would love.

straight from the yard...
the overgrown yard!!

is it still green??

your welcome
you really like it??!!
i've never done a secret santa where i didn't know a thing about the person..
i've done it at work..where it's a bit easier to lurk and find out things.
i kinda liked the way the lime coconut smelled and when i saw the fuzzy socks i thought it would make for happy christmas toes..

peb319 said:

yep the grass is still green! I'm gonna keep it where I can see it so it will remind me of warm weather to come!
yes, I really like the whole gift, very thoughtful indeed! I've done the p.org ss before and it is hard when you really don't know the person at all but you did a great job! I love the smell! and I will have happy christmas toes for sure! thanx so much!

so many success stories

i hope my SS gets their gift soon.

Shorty said:

First initial A and the NH thing.

And I will be waiting for Xmas to open it. I rarely get anything for Xmas anymore so I am going to relish opening my gift.

i just opened my front door, and there was a priority mail box sitting on my door-step, i'm so i have no clue who it's from, it just says senders address "santa" on the box, with a florida address. i haven't opened it yet, but i am going to now! thank you who ever you are!!!

ok, i just opened my box and there is some cookies, some really yummy looking cookies! and a handmade x-mas card, and 2 wrapped gift boxes. i still don't know who it is??? and i haven't opened the gifts yet.

i hope my secret santa doesn't mind that i opened my gifts already, i'm such a kid, and i simply couldn't wait until christmas day! i love all my gifts, thanks so much!!!


yummy cookies

what a cute card!

inside of card...

i can't wait to read this book!!! i've been wanting it, thanks!!!

and the best gift of all, a blade of grass!!! i love it! hahaha!
