Yay, it got there! Thank goodness it was a glass that broke and not the bottle. You'll just have to come back to pick up the matching glass. t hint

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

Ok, I am a very bad giftee. I got my box days ago, but didn't open it because of...life stuff. Anyway, I just opened it!
It's from London! There is a wonderful book on London Architecture, 2 different bags of tea - Chai and Soho spice!, some super dark chocolate-Green & Black!, lavender incence and a lovely burner and a huge amethyst pendant!!!
I love everything! thank you Secret Santa!

Wow, SA's gift looks wonderful and perfect..
I sent my gift yesterday. Unfortunately 1, I didn't have enough on me to make it travel super fast, so it'll be there in a week's time. Unfortunately 2, it seems like the post decided to get a little bit... enthusiastic with packing my package, so it (the nice package I had in advance) got torn and I had to mail it all in a usual, big, fluffy white envelope.
Nevertheless, it's on its way, and I can't wait for it to get there.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
quester ~ you did get it in time for Christmas! I'm so glad - I was worried it wouldn't make it across the Atlantic in one piece. There's another part on the way, but it went the slower route :D
I'm so glad you like it. It was so much fun shopping for it!

quester ROCKS! like woah.
First off, everything was wrapped individually, so I had many things to open. YAY!
Second, everything in PINK TISSUE! Awesome.
Third, the stuff: adorable card with a removable reindeer magnet, beautiful magnetic bookmarker/line markers, MONKEY magnetic bookmarks (c'mon MONKEYS!), a cute kitten calendar, pink red and while bookmark pens all with love quotes on them, and 3 packs of blue wrap Trident gum (my favorite). BREATH.
no no, that is not all. Then, there is this awesome local handmade stuff from IA. A warm/cold rice pack, a GORGEOUS handblown glass pink poppy ornament (which may need to stay out year-round in my room), a soy wax Christmas Past candle that smells of pine and wood fire and spices, hot chocolate and chai mix, strawberry rhubarb jam, AND a carved wood ornament that says it all "Joy".
THANK YOU! Really great gift AND you made my Christmas morning, you have no idea!

Oh, msbelle I'm so glad you liked it! I was putting it together the night you were having so much trouble and I hoped it would cheer you up.
I'm glad the monkeys made it into the package. I had a panic when I couldn't account for them!
Seska, it got here days ago! I'm so sorry I didn't post that it had arrived!
