I got my first gift (which believe it or not, there is another coming!!) which was for my 1 year old baby girl.

I got baby einstein Neptune dvd, like so:

Awesome job, cannot believe there is more!

I am gonna guess my SS is vshah, cause of the return label on the amazon box...so thanks so much! will update with a proper picture once I have it together.

my pleasure...hope she enjoys it! and don't worry, the next one is for you


i got a kick-ass NERD HERD t-shirt from my SS who i'm guessing is chickadee if they did it in 3s again this year. I'll post a pic of it tomorrow...thanks a ton!

Got my gift yesterday!

Seriously sweet combo of items:

- A box of Mrs. Fields White Chunk Macadamia cookies (my favorite variety of cookie... I'm trying hard not to eat them all at once, lol)

- A San Diego Chargers Mr. Potato Head! Haha, I didn't even know these existed Fun item, definitely keeping it next to my raving rabbid and Chrono Trigger figurines. After I play with it a while, of course.

- A book: "The Year of Living Biblically". I've heard of this book, but never got around to reading it. Fascinating; I'll get started reading this today after I get some sleep.

Thank you so much, Secret Santa! Looks like you took the time to find the perfect choice of gifts - I'm sure I'll enjoy them for a long time (except for the delicious cookies, of course :biggrin: ).

Got home late last night so I opened my present this morning. Got The Art of War in a classy hardcover! Boy, my friends are going to hate me when I finish reading this

Thanks Secrent Santa!

Pics will come later.

The bookshelf that will be its eventual home. Ugh, I'm going to have to clean up.

Ahh!! Present came in the mail today! Couldn't wait to open it...

- A nice friggin hat
- A beanie that I need because it's freaking freezing out every day
- A fan guard for my case fan
- USB LED lights that I can annoy my coworkers with (was going to get a xmas tree, but was overwhelmingly voted down by my pod-mates... so this'll be nice revenge )
- A Pittsburgh Penguins coffee mug!! Right now I'm using this old Dave and Busters one that blows.
- Starbucks gift card - for use at the Starbucks downstairs in my office building
- And it all came inside this AWESOME X-Fi bag with some pens clipped on inside as well.

Secret Santa, you rock so hard it's not even funny. Thank you!!

Hm...

I should be going to my parents' house sometime this week (being Christmas on Saturday and all). For all I know, the stuff for me has already arrived...

Edit:
My SS got me this:

Thanks!

 

[slugg]

Just got mine today... reserved - will post pics and executive summary either tonight or tomorrow! You'll see why

 

[Anubis]

I opened mine today because we opened all our xmass stuff today because we are going on vacation over the holiday. I got Sons of Anarchy season 1 on Blu Ray

 

[vshah]

we should do this twice a year

 

[slugg]

we should do this twice a year

Christmas in July?

 

[Sphexi]

Got mine yesterday, box from Amazon, haven't opened it yet. Gonna wait til later in the week.

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

My SS spent way too much on me. Thank you so much but you shouldn't have :$ Led flashlight, Swiss Army knife and a Timbuk2 seat bag. I wish I could have spent more on mine but after I bought my house I've had to control my budget even tighter.

 

[Tristicus]

Yeah after seeing my gifts from my SS I felt like I needed to spend a little bit more...so I did!

 

[rudeguy]

Christmas in July?

I vote hookers in July

and

Thank you SS! I love the gifts, especially the t-shirt!!!

 

[Azndude51]

I got my gift yesterday, the Fedex man caught me just as I was leaving, good timing. SS, you are awesome, thank you so much for the great gifts!

Here's what I got, I did not ask for any of these specific items, but my SS did a good job picking them out:

• Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 for XB360: Great game, I don't already own it but now I do. It'll keep my busy over the holidays.
• Star Trek TOS glasses (set of 4): These are especially awesome because I have the set of 4 Star Trek (2009) glasses from the Burger King promotion. These TOS glasses will go with them perfectly.
  
• Star Wars coasters (set of 4): These will go great with the glasses, but some may think it's sacrilegious to pair Star Trek and Star Wars, I'm fine with it though.
• Metal Star Wars Empire Strikes Back poster: This thing is sweet, it's going up on my wall now. Good choice since ESB is the best Star Wars film.
• USB fragrance oil burner (lavender scent): I didn't even know they made these, but it smells pretty good. I like it because it was totally unexpected.

Thanks SS!

I'm going to assume my Secret Santa is a he. If not, my apologies. Easier to write this.

My secret santa is awesome. He got me the perfect gift. I recently moved into a new apartment and my walls are bare. I've been looking for some art but have had no idea what I want, so my descriptions to him were vague when I was asked. He sent me three beautiful photographs taken by him and I couldn't have asked for anything better! Even sent me a half page single-spaced note describing what they were, what the thought process was, and how I could get them framed.

Absolutely Epic. Can't wait to get them framed and hang them up on my brick wall. Thanks SS!

*Reserved* Got my gift from my SS a couple of days ago. I know that whatever he/she got me came from Thinkgeek so it's hard to resist opening it but I shall wait until Christmas.

EDIT: Sorry I took so long in posting the pic, been a little bit hectic during xmas and the past couple of days. Thanks for the gifts though SS, you rock! The cast star was a bit on the easy side but that's fine. The cast quartet is going to take a good long bit to figure out. Then I can make it another puzzle in remembering how to put them back together . The Rukik's slide is fun as well. So I would have to say my SS nailed it, thanks again
