I just got my gift!! Thank you so much!!! I cant wait to read them! starting with the volt sisters first, cant believe I love horror and have never heard of this book!! And Im super excited to read Holly, finished the Outsiders a few months ago!! Im honestly amazed that you happened to pick a Stephen King book neither me or my boyfriend (avid King fans) have!! Super cool. Making some tea to curl up and start on the books amazing and very thoughtful gift thank you!!!

You are extremely welcome. I have been a stephen king fan my entire life. Love his work. Volt sisters seems like an amazing read. FYI, Santa left a few more in his bag...........

Hello @Kellie in CA, or should I say “Santa”! I’m at work right now but I just couldn’t wait to post a thank you. I received packages 1,2,4, and 5! I was waiting to post the big thank you until I got package #3 but I can’t wait anymore!

You have absolutely hit the nail on the head with your thoughtful and generous gifts, I truly couldn't have asked for any more! I recently moved and lost my orange glasses and “Julian’s Thing”. Ever since then I’ve been lazy to get new ones so this is PERFECT! Me and my pups are so appreciative of the treats and toys you sent, too. They absolutely love the candy cane toy and it’s all they ever play with as of late! The candy and treats have all been exceptional as well! Above all, the INKBIRD leak detector is one of the most important gifts to me. I am constantly obsessively checking for leaks behind my stand because I’m terrified of some sort of problem. I know I probably have nothing to worry about but you never truly know.. I can’t tell you how many times I have “checked the tank” before I go to sleep just to look for a leak. Now, I don’t have to check hardly at all because I know I’m covered. I’m extremely grateful for the peace of mind you’ve brought me. Your gifts have been excellent and I seriously cannot thank you enough. You are awesome! THANK YOU so much for your thoughtful and generous gifts!!

I’m so glad you like everything! Secret Santa is so much fun! Like I said on Elfster, if package #3 never shows up, I can easily replace it for you!

Is your dog a Shiba Inu? My husband had one when I met him. She was his favorite dog ever.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to my Secret Santa!!

It was BEYOND SUPER EXCITING to open a box and find a HUGE wrapped gift inside!! For a hot minute, I thought I would leave it under the tree so I have something to open on Christmas when the family opens gifts... but the box felt like it might be EXACTLY what I asked for and NEED for my FOWLR... and since the fish tanks have taken the brunt of this incredible year, I decided to tear into the wrapping and open the box!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! These save time and countless tiny critter lives! They CAN be reused even after I open all the pleats to check for starfish and large pods. It was hugely generous of my Secret Santa to get me so many socks aka @Reef Diaper refills. Look how happy my fish look now that Reef Diapers are back starting to filter their water:

Screenshot 60 gallon FOWLR just getting back to using Reef Diapers underneath in sump (look at the happy smiles on those cutie fish & shrimp faces - THANK YOU Secret Santa):

I don't really need anything or expect anything and participated for the fun. I did not post a wish list and barely answered the questions. My Santa shopped perfectly and I couldn't be happier! I don't think I mentioned reading glasses or aging eyes, but the crossword puzzle book is PERFECT. Spiral bound, large print and easy to sit in bed and work (with a pen of course). The Razzles are a blast from the past that I would never think of buying, but have not had on !35 years, So FUN! And the little iPhone filters is exactly what I have been too lazy to order on my own. I don't take photos of the aquarium because I am too lazy to get out the SLR and then do the RAW corrections. This is PERFECT and now I can easily take photos of my tank.

Thank you Santa

Just in... another box arrived. I would show the Reese's Christmas shapes assortment bag, but I may have already plowed through a good portion of them. I have a Reese's problem... but we will not talk further about it.

 

[Ghostweim]

Thank you again secret Santa! I received another package of some great smelling soap and lip balm. My wife was excited too as she claimed the lip balm. She loves them.

Glad you all liked the gifts! I have been making soap and lip balm for years (and sell it in a local hospital gift shop). Merry Christmas!

30 odd years ago I read hardback unabridged "The Stand" over a week of evenings in an empty beach house in (then abandoned during winter) North Myrtle Beach area. No furniture, no curtains, no heat, termites eating the rafters (audibly) while waiting for our new lease to get signed. There may have been happy hours involved and a late November tropical storm. It was a very unsettling read that has left a lifelong impression.

Needful things creeped me out, and I think 4 past midnight may be one of my favorites.

The Stand is really good! One of my favorites by him for sure!

It's been a while since we watched this, thank you for the thoughtful gift! I saw two tracking numbers so I'm keeping an eye out for the other box.

 

[12humuhumu21]

Thank you Ladyhawk124 aka Nicole Martin! I love the gifts! They came early. The socks are my favorite along with the candy that is one of my favorite candies. I don’t know how you knew but thank you. I am out of syringes so they will come in handy along with the scraper. You’re the best!

My Secret Santa struck again. I’m not sure if this is everything but this is more than plenty. Nicole Martin has gone above and beyond. Thank you!

 

[Ladyhawk124]

@Reefer_kano I'm loving the mug and enjoying an evening coffee. The species is Brachipalma hamorii. A great tarantula, I even have one in my collectio. Thanks again for making this experience fun!! Your awesome!

[nezw0001]

Thank you Kristin! The frag holders will work great in my quarantine tank I am setting up this week. Merry Christmas. also can't wait to try the little chocolates after supper.

 

[HiBRiD109]

Thank you, Secret Santa! I got a kick out of the mini Ryobi cabinet. It will be perfect for keys, cords, and other small pieces. George, our St Bernard, is very appreciative of his new toy and treats. The trace element will be very helpful as I restart my tank. I look forward in trying the black tea. The family also appreciates the Reese's. Once again thank you so very much.

 

[Reefer_kano]

I also received russel stovers caramels, but those did not last long...ROFL...so yummy!
In the tummy before the picture ..my bad! Lol

I truly have a exotic pet addiction. This is only the tip of my crazy. And I can't forget the goats and chickens. Lol

I already received some awesome gifts and am very happy! But today I got an email from elfster saying my package was being delivered today. I thought there was a mistake so I called my wife and she said yes a package arrived. I had her open it and asked what it was. She started to tell me then stopped and said sorry your just going to have to wait until you get home.

Got me right in the heart. Absolutely beautiful. Someone went out of their way for me and thank you so much!

Oh, and the red towel, ya I lost that one to my wife's Christmas collection LOL
