I also just got my Secret Santa present, from Amyth and it is awesome! I shall tell you all about it in a moment.
First though, I will share what came in a separate envelope, before the Box of Goodies, with a card saying "I have a button maker and I am not afraid to use it", which was this .
Now on to the box! SO MUCH AWESOME STUFF! An ring from Modcloth that had been on my wishlist. [link] , AND a 2012 Edward Gorey postcard calendar, AND cupcake lip balm, AND a bag for carrying groceries and stuff AND A book called The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories, which I love (well, I love all of it, but this is really cool) AND a woven Scarf, handmade in Thai Villages, AND a gorgeous little blank notebook that is a perfect size for my purse, AND Absinthe and Cthulhu mints AND these really cool things that I think are pencils, but I need a sharpener to be sure.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. I love it all. Well, maybe not the button, but that made me laugh and laugh and then plot who to send it to.
I also wanted to mention another A is for AWESOME part of the day today--I got some very delicious goodies from Anne as oart of the TJs exchange, which I made the mistake of opening at work, because now people are eying them because they are used to me putting out snacks, but they can't have them. Thank you so much, Anne.
I am so glad you liked it, Perkins! HOORAY!
Mwahaha, the button!

They are reusable chopsticks!
eta: (I have the same pair, and I used them today at lunch with smonster, amych and Calli. I think I read that you like sushi...)
eta eta: We were discussing the TJ's exchange today. I never got an email about it. I hope that's because there were more potential senders than sendees, and I wasn't needed, and not that I lost an email or something, and someone out there's losing out. IF THAT'S THE CASE, I will certainly rectify ASAP.

OOPS. That is even cooler! I would have guessed that, but I missed the fact that the covers could be used as part of the chopsticks.

Eek. It's actually because I somehow missed that you wanted to be in on it. Sorry about that.
Next year, I will make sure you are involved if we do it again.
Okay, cool! I just didn't want to have someone out there waiting for a TJ's package.
I would not be upset by a TJs package, and I know I never signed up. Rumor has it that FTW will be getting a TJs in the next year or so, but in the meantime any not super unhealthy snacks and/or ethnic foods would a fun thing to find on my doorstep. not that anyone should feel obligated.
I smell a plan in the making!
The internet has eaten my brain, because I first read "...FTW..." as For the Win. But I figured it out.
I can do that. Could you send me your address?
Most of the things that I love at TJ's that are shippable probably fall under some definition of unhealthy and/or ethnic, but I'll see what I can come up with. TJ's is full of goodness!
ethnic was a yes, I re-read what I wrote and it was pretty unclear. So mostly healthy OR, ethnic. Those would be good.
I will email you my address.
In related snacky news - I think I have before raved about the honey cinnamon almonds at Target (archer farms brand, I think), well not that good, but still very yums are the Planters Creme Brulee almonds and also the Pumpkin spice ones.
See how I can get unhealthy things if they are things mac will not eat. He will just forego all other foods for the unhealthy, so I have to watch it. Luckily he dislikes nuts (crazy).
