Gift Exchange: Gifts Received Thread

JPhillips · 12-07-2005, 04:12 PM

I think I have the first gift received.

I am now the proud owner of a long sleeve Cincinnati Bengals t-shirt!

Thanks to whomever. I'll wear it this Sunday whe nwe stomp the Browns.

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 12-08-2005, 06:27 PM

I think I have the second. There's a business on the return address that I don't recognize. Strange coincidence that it's a business close to where my parents live in California.

Whomever my Secret FOFC Santa is, he/she/Suicane must have been reading about my struggles with the size of my ass. I received an iPod armband case off my Amazon wishlist. I will use and abuse this puppy at the gym every day.

Thank you so much!

RPI-Fan · 12-10-2005, 09:58 AM

--bump-- so people don't miss it!

timmae · 12-10-2005, 02:36 PM

I have nightmares. Seriously.

I really need to chill out.

Barkeep49 · 12-10-2005, 11:11 PM

So I saw, without meaning to look, who my gift was from based on the return address. I appreciate the humorous book Mr. Secret Santa.

Airhog · 12-11-2005, 10:56 AM

I have to say thanks to my secret santa. I have a pretty good Idea of who it was from. All I can say is WOW! I really appreciate it

And what is it?

Airhog · 12-11-2005, 11:00 AM

50$ super certificate

TroyF · 12-11-2005, 11:43 AM

I received mine. A $25 gift certificate to Rock Bottom. Love the gift. Going to be a very nice meal with a Fat Tire coming up very soon.

Noop · 12-11-2005, 11:46 AM

MacroGuru · 12-11-2005, 11:01 PM

bump to keep on the front page

DaddyTorgo · 12-11-2005, 11:10 PM

WOOT! A Pats flask! Now I can drink in style! Although I gotta think the odds are prolly 50/50 between whether it will be full of liquor or coffee at any given point! It's definately shiny and pretty though!

Thanks Mr. Secret Santa

(and damnit i need to get mine shipped tomorrow!)

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 12-12-2005, 04:53 PM

TWO presents!! It was a happy Monday! My not-secret-anymore santa sent me this book off my wishlist. I've been wanting to read it since Cam interviewed Babbin back in April. I'm going to start it this evening.

Thank you so much!!

Barkeep49 · 12-12-2005, 05:22 PM

Well a further thanks is due to my secret santa as not one but TWO more amazon packages arrived today. I will be enjoying the Fact or Crap daily calendar as well as yet another humorous teaching book.

Thanks!

JPhillips · 12-12-2005, 06:55 PM

Farrah: Hope used was okay. I wanted to get you something besides the Ipod cover and I couldn't afford the book at full price. It wanted to get the Diamond book, but I couldn't find it cheap. Happy reading and I'm sure we can set some time up later to argue about it.

Merry Christmas!

Hey! Can't you keep a secret?

JPhillips · 12-12-2005, 08:31 PM

Well she said that she knew! I bet my name was on a receipt.

If this book is used, I need to know where you shop.

It's in great shape. The spine made that crackling sound new books make when I opened it. It's perfect, thank you so much.

As far as arguing about it - not sure I'm going to agree with everything Babbin has to say, but I do so love to argue

Oh man, don't tease me. I want a Fat Tire sooo bad. They need to export that stuff out of Colorado. I'm stuck drinking a New Knoxville Pale Ale!

Airhog · 12-13-2005, 07:58 PM

Just wanted to let my secret santa know, that I picked out my gift certificates. I went with a 25$ one Barnes and Noble, and a 25$ one to dominos pizza. My favorite chain store, but I rarely can afford to eat out anymore. Thanks!

oliegirl · 12-14-2005, 04:01 PM

My gift arrived today - a very cool battery operated mini manicure kit I can carry in my purse...it would have come in very handy today because I broke a nail! I even has different attachments for buffing and filing

Thank you Santa Claus!!!!

Eaglesfan27 · 12-14-2005, 06:49 PM

My gift arrived today - a very nice Philadelphia Eagles tie

Despite their down season, I can't wait to wear it to work and field all of the questions from those who don't know my primary sports allegiance (which is only a minority of my co-workers.)

I'm not sure who sent it. Thanks Secret Santa.

Wow, that's a nice gift. Something you could never buy for yourself, but you can definitely use it!

Suuuuuuuuuure it's a manicure kit. Is that what they're calling it these days?

MrBug708 · 12-14-2005, 08:28 PM

I saw battery operated and thought hte exact same thing

Joe · 12-14-2005, 08:30 PM

its not surprising based on who sent it

j/k

JeeberD · 12-14-2005, 10:55 PM

I still ain't got nothin...

RPI-Fan · 12-15-2005, 06:07 AM

Woot! 4th Season Curb Your Enthusiasm... I look forward to it very much.

Thanks, to whoever sent it! (Hard to guess since it was on a list that I gave out

).

Well, the filing heads might make it a little painful...

And I don't think it's from Jeeber, I have the name of the person, though I don't know who he is on here, but he is from IL...as far as I know Jeeber is in TX.

st.cronin · 12-15-2005, 12:07 PM

I thought there was a 30 dollar limit? Seems some people have gone over...

JeeberD · 12-15-2005, 03:16 PM

Oooh, ooh! The FedEx man just dropped off a package for me! I'm trying to resist looking at the mailing lable too closely and I'll open it in a moment!

JeeberD · 12-15-2005, 03:20 PM

Dola-

And Santa got me a very nice Adidas UTEP hooded sweatshirt. This will come in very handy since the little lady has pretty much decided that my old UTEP sweatshirt is now hers and I'm not allowed to wear it anymore.

Thank you Santa!

Anything else?

My fingers are crossed something is at my house when I get there....

MizzouRah · 12-16-2005, 02:59 PM

I keep looking for mine as well.

DaddyTorgo · 12-16-2005, 03:02 PM

bites tongue as to who this is for but his was on the way as of the 13th. and worth the wait hopefully

Karlifornia · 12-17-2005, 02:27 AM

Man, I'm kind of beginning to wish I had gotten in on this. From what's been given so far, it sounds like I may have gotten something I would possibly like. There's always next year

Passacaglia · 12-19-2005, 05:29 PM

Got in last night after being out of town for a week, and found my gift waiting for me. The gift-giver had asked for my shirt size (through GWB) so I was expecting a shirt of some kind, but instead it was a U of M blanket. Very crafty, gift-giver!

Flasch186 · 12-19-2005, 06:35 PM

coal....but I ordered a pizza tonight so it'll help fill the void.

st.cronin · 12-19-2005, 09:22 PM

Surprise!!!!

Underneath my doormat (who knows for how long) I find a copy of Shot and a Goal - The Tradition of Badger Hockey! An excellent present! Thanks!

Someone told me that the Brian Elliott centerfold wasn't available yet.

MacroGuru · 12-19-2005, 11:23 PM

Still anxiously awaiting....Mailman will get a beat down from the wife tomorrow as she is sick of me calling to find out if the mail has arrived....
