SS: I has presents!

It actually came yesterday, but apparently the mailman forgot that I'm hard at work at 8:30 in the morning and unavailable to accept packages.  So I'm going to have to break up with him.

But, LOOK, I saw Santa at the post office when I went to pick it up!

Disclaimer: Please forgive the huge mess in the background of all my pictures.  This place is in complete and total disarray right now and it's making me crazy. They were also taken on my phone, so they suck all around

Dr. Caesar Las Vegas was very interested in my presents.  He loves all cardboard boxes, plus the last one that arrived was carrying beef jerky so he thought he might hit the jackpot again.  As it turns out, he's not very good at opening boxes.  I think the lack of opposable thumbs might have something to do with it.

image 

I got a tiger!  Christin killed, stuffed, and mounted it herself.  She told me so.  And she'd never lie.

image 

Caesar was trying to make friends, but the tiger isn't much for conversation.  Or cuddling.  So he lost interest.

image 

I came thisclose to ordering this book the other night for my Kindle!  I'm glad I decided to wait.  Christin has ESPN.

image 

I cackled when I opened this, even before I got to the note, which then made me cackle even harder.  Also, I've never seen this movie, so I'm pretty excited about it.

image 

Even the wrapping paper is entertaining!

image 

And that's not all, folks.  Seriously.  Awesomesauce.  I LOVE these, and they'll go with everything so I'm so freaking excited.  My phone camera doesn't do them justice, but they're super awesome

image 

image 

I also love these a whole lot.  I had these same bowls stolen from me in our family gift exchange last year and I was real sad about it.  Christin saved Christmas!  Sorry the picture is so dark.  Maybe my subconscious was afraid they'd get stolen again so I didn't want to showcase them in their full glory

THANKS CHRISTIN!!!  Seriously, I'm so thrilled with all of my stuff

  • Dear SS,

    I'm sorry your gifts from me aren't going to be nearly as awesome as what Shamwow got from Christin.  

    Sincerely,
    Cali

     

    You got a great haul!  I want everything you got -- the bowls, the earrings, the book!  And I hope you like Seven even though Morgan Freeman should have been a better actor.

  • The gifts are great, but the post-it notes really put it over the top.  Nice elfster work, Christin!

  • Those earrings are gorgeous. Great haul altogether!

    Do you have a desk area to display your mounted tiger? It might be just the thing to keep those kids in line. 

    Mushroom joy? :snerk:

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • Excellent gifts!
    Those earrings are awesome!
  • Yay!  I'm so so happy you like it!  I've been on pins and needles for you to get it.  I didn't realize how much I'd gotten until I got it together to ship.  Apparently when I'm out shopping I find a lot of things delightful and decide to buy them for my SS. 

    Sorry for sending an old-timey paper book, but it's David Sedaris.  One of those authors where I kind of want the hard copy.  

    I hope I didn't ruin the movie 7 for you.  It's delightful.

     And spotting Santa at the post office 2 weeks before Christmas is pretty foffing amazing.

  • Awesome presents.  The post-its and wrapping paper are magical as well!

  • I'd be happy to make a pair of those earrings as Christmas presents for any of our regs who want them. I have all the supplies already and they're fairly easy.

    great gifts.

  • Aw, those are fantastic gifts! You guys are sending me into gift givers anxiety.

    If you're offering them up...I'd love a pair of earrings. I feel funny just being all, "Hey, give me some earrings" though.

  • All of these SS posts are filling me with holiday cheer.

  • Excellent gifts!  I love that tiger.  Why do I want that tiger so badly????

  • Great gifts!  Christin is a very good gift giver. 

    I'm just throwing it out there that if you don't get your SS gift until the end of the week, chances are I'm your lame SS giver.  Sorry:(

    Me three. It feels squicky.

  • They're easy to make. I'd love to share some pretty dangly with my internet friends. Just email me or facebook me your addresses ladies. Note to any random lurkers...I'm not making you earrings. Sorry. Also, those glass beads come in both a smoky gray or a clear. Let me know in your message what you prefer. : )

  • I'm wearing my earrings today! And I meant to bring my book, but I forgot. I could have used some laughs to make up for the fact that I've been peed on not once but twice, had my hair pulled, had my glasses ripped from my face, and been spit on. All before 1:00. I'm sure this belongs in the other thread but I don't have the patience to wait for this all to load up on my phone again!

    However, I just took my first restroom break of the day and caught a glimpse of my jewels and it made me smile. So thanks Christin!!!
  • I am a lurker and want earrings... but my ears aren't pierced. Ugh I might need to order something from you in the future because I love those!
  • Those gifts are full of lol and aw.

    You should all know that I have a pair of authentic dangly Christin earrings. They look a lot like those ones, but a little different, and light pink. I love them so.
