mckayleesmom wrote: I figured I should put this up now..since some will be getting their gifts shortly....So...Tell us what you got and thank your secret santa person here.....

TANNER'S MOM replied: I got it I got it I got it..

And it came at the perfect time. I went home from work early cause I was sick. I called the doctor and they couldn't get me in..so I almost went to the ER.. But I came on home. And when I checked the mail the note was in there..and the post office was still open!

I got good stuff. My SS was Nichole. My girl! She did good. I got a picture frame that is perfect for my house.. and unbroken Nichole..And some Mistletoe..Tanner already kissed me! And some Apple Brown Betty Mix.

Oh and tons of Candy! I told Tanner.. this is killing me Tanner.. He said oh Momma.. you can have some..It's just a little Bite of Christmas from your friend..so I had 3! Ooppss I am sorry but Nichole said I need to jump start system so I did

Thank you very much Nichole. Your present came on a perfect day.. And it was very thoughtful! You are one in a million girl~

mckayleesmom replied: That is soo cute

Boys r us replied: YAY!!! I was hoping it would come unbroken!! I'm glad that you liked it! Unfortunately I didn't have time to get you to send me a picture to put in it b/c I couldn't figure out what to get you! But anyways, I saw the frame one night when we were eating dinner at the cracker barrel and it had Mel written all over it
BTW Mel, 3 Musketeers candy bars have 1/3 less fat!!! Haaa..

and the misteltoe..I figured that it would give you an excuse to make Randy kiss you all of the time though...after this weekend, ti sounds like he's doing pretty well without my help!!!

Love ya!!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: How sweet, Nichole!! Merry Christmas Mel!!

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Oh I love that frame! You were right Nichole that does have Mel all over it! Lol! how sweet!

jacobsmama replied: aww cool I'm so excited to see and hear what everyone got!!

CantWait replied: That's just so perfect for you. You did great Nichole

Boys r us replied: I got my present today!!!!!


Thanks Brianne!! I love it! I got a pewter pciture frame that is shaped like a tree(family tree) and the little picture frames dangle down from the branches, so cute!
I also got two tealight holders and a pack of Yankee Candle tealights in Macintosh & Peach Scent, heavenly if you ask me!!!

Thank you so much Brianne!!! You did a great job picking out gifts for me!

Here's a pic:

CantWait replied: What a great gift.

coasterqueen replied: Great gifts everyone!

mummy2girls replied: wow you guys did great! I hope mine likes thiers as i wasnt able to spend that much this year:(

mckayleesmom replied:

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Those are great gifts!! Can't wait to see what everyone else gets!!

dolfinrse replied: I was so excited to get home from work today and find my present. I opened it and a BIG Thank You and to Alyssa'sMommy. I got a big container of Vanilla Shower Gel and a shower brush from Bath and Body Works. Vanilla is my absolutely favorite scent. Thank you so much!

holley79 replied: Sounds like everyone is really enjoying what they have gotten. I hope that my SS likes hers. I still haven't opened mine. I guess I will when I get home since everyone else has.

MM'sMama replied: I got mine

Thank you so much Tiffany! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE mine! It was all so perfact! Thank you so much!!!

Heres some pictures..they didn't turn out so well, I tried shutting my blinds to no avail




last one


oops forgot to take out siggy like always lol

mummy2girls replied: Thank you Jeanie! I recieved my gift today! That is so sweet of you! I love it... and for those who have no idea what i got.... gift certificates to a movie theatre. and quitye a few... Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!

mammag replied: I'm so glad you liked it. I wanted to make sure it got to you in time and it looked like a great deal because it said you'd get all these other certificates with the movie certificates. I had no idea what the places were for but was hoping you would be able to use those too. I thought it would be something you and Jenna could do together or if you want a night out with someone you could do that too. I was worried that you would think it was impersonal...

Insanemomof3 replied: WOOHOO! I opened mine, Sarah thank you sooooo much! I got some bath and shower gel (Mango), a slow cooker cookbook and some holiday scrapbooking stuff! I just love it!

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Glad you liked it!! When I grabbed the bath & body products I thought one was the shower gel and the other was lotion. It wasn't until I was wrapping them that I noticed both were shower gel's.

Insanemomof3 replied:
That is fine with me, one is in my bathtub and the other in the shower!!!! I love it!

holley79 replied: Ok I finally did it. LOL. I needed something to do tonight before I went to our birthing class.

My SS was Kelly. I got some great scrap book pages and the little page inserts (?). I'm still learning what they all are. I am so excited. I was planning what I was going to use each page for.



THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A&A'smommy replied:
Your SO sweet I'm glad you enjoyed it I was hoping you would like it!!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
Glad you liked it, Holley. I have been waiting for you to open it. You stinker, made me wait nearly a whole week.

holley79 replied:
Sorry Kelly. LOL. I really can't wait for her to get here now so I can use the pages and the stickers.

Mommy2BAK replied: THANK YOU SO MUCH MM'S MOM!!!

I recieved your package yesterday but I put the presents under my tree because I have nothing else wrapped under my tree yet. But I will get pics when I open it!

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied:
I am so happy that you liked it. I tried to get things that i thought you could use in a scrap book and it really did not seem like a lot of stuff but i had no idea that stuff costed so much. I am soooooooo glad you liked it.

amymom replied: woo hoo! I received a gift today. The card says... from your Secret Santa so I don't know who to thank. ... but Thank You.

It is very nicely packaged and tied with a big red bow. It is a big red mug with snowflakes on it. A can of hot Chocolate, chocolate covered marshmallows (how decadent is that!!!) and some Peppermint sippers candy. It came from Harry and David. Thanks so much Secret Santa!

I am off to finish my paperwork so I can put my pjs on and make some hot chocolate and snuggle in to bed!!!!

akbutterfly83 replied: I got a butterfly necklace and earings set, and a butterfly stationary set.... I love it....

mommy_loves_chase replied: you guys got some nice stuff i hope everyone is enjoying their gifts

CantWait replied:
I seen someone else get a set of those at a birthday party, and thought they were so cute. I didn't know if they would match your decor or not, it's so hard, but glad you liked

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
I thought it would be perfect since y'all are so cold up there. AND, I wanted you to have something new to wear after the baby.

Jamison'smama replied: Chloe&Tysmommy,

Thanks for the fun Chrismas stuff---towels, decoration, & stickers. I have the cute sled hanging from a lamp in my living room--very sweet. I can NEVER have enough dish towels so those will be loved dearly! I will try to get pictures posted but I have been quite slow at that lately.

amymom replied:
Oh My goodness! It got there fast! I was so late in mailing it. You are welcome, I am so glad you like it. I didn't want it to be all about school, so the candles and christmas decor are for you, but then there are still things for school. I know you love being able to do that.

I really am glad you and the kids like it.

TANNER'S MOM replied:

jdkjd replied:
Please! That was exactly what I wanted, creativity not required-I'm pretty easy...

kayla's mama replied: My ss was Kristie (Mom2Tripp). I got a real nice basket for my bathroom, which matches perfectly. Candles for the bathroom and a linen scented candle. A calendar and some candy. Thank you!!!

Hi Jen!!!!!!! You don't know how happy that made me seeing that you finally got your gift. That just made my day.

Sweetie you are more than welcome. If you ever need anymore let me know. I actually live 15 minutes from Pensacola Beach on a non- traffic day. They aren't as nice as they use to be since all the hurricanes but they are still there. I am so glad that you liked your gift. I loved those candles so much I went back and bought me a set.

jacobsmama replied: Sorry that pic didn't work hopefully this does....

Jamison'smama replied: I'm getting a little concerned--my person should have had their stuff for a few days now.........????

AshleyRose replied: I GOT MY GIFT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH DENISE (TRINITY 1376) !!!!!!!!

It came last night! I got a beautiful bath set scented honey almond (mmmm its smells so nice!!), and a awesome smelling candle and candle holder for it, a cute card, and some great candy that I have been munching on!

Thank you so much, Denise... Merry Christmas !!!

ETA: forgot the pic

AshleyRose replied: I called the post office about my package to my secret santa and he said it could take another week with customs and all !!!! With the price we paid for shipping it should have been guaranteed but apparently it isn't... weird... I am going to call back Monday because this is ridiculous... especially since I sent mine out on the 2nd !!!!!! Either way, I hope it gets to you soon, Secret Santa!!!!

Insanemomof3 replied:
I am glad you like it!!! I am sorry I didn't get it wrapped, I just wanted to get it sent off so that it would get to you soon.

AshleyRose replied:
Oh no worries!! It was practically wrapped in all that bubble wrapping... I couldn't see what the gift was either.. it was hard to tell what was under it since the wrap made it blurry . So it took me awhile to get the bubble off since it was wrapped so tightly... so it was practically the same thing as wrapping paper.. just more fun since it was bubble wrap .

Thanks so much

jacobsmama replied: Very cool.....It is so neat to see what everyone is getting...I wish my SS would post as well because she also should have gotten hers by now too...

moxee24 replied:
I GOT IT TODAY!!!!! AND I LOVE IT!!!! I got a Calgon Bathset (scented Tropical Island) and bath oil beads (scented Wild Orchids) and a detoxifing bath soak (and they all smell so yummy). It will feel so good to have something that smells SO good to use after I have the baby! Can't use it just yet 'cuz i am TOO PG to get in and out of the bathtub right now The card was very pretty. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Yippee!! I got mine today. Thanks to CJ'smom. You did such a terrific job. I have been planning a scrapbook with photos of Logan with Santa each year on every page. But I hadn't bought any of the things I needed yet.
I got a red scrapbook, a Christmas scrapbook kit, stencils, and stickers. I am so excited, I can't wait for my next week off. Here's a pic.

b&bsmom replied: jacobsmama..so glad you liked it. I am glad to see it got there. Glad it was a good time for it, I must have known that self consicely and that is why it got sent so late ..lol. I will post as soon as I get my ss gift. So nice to see what everyone is been getting and gives good ideas for next year.

KingMom replied: I got mine gift Saturday from Celestrina, and oddly enough, she got my gift Friday

AshleyRose replied:

A great tubby is exactly what you need when you get home from having that sweet baby!! I hope you enjoy it all !!!

I was worried it would be really late with customs and all.. the man I spoke to made it seem like it... I am just so glad it came before xmas .
