US Secret Santa 2021

iAuS0pc.png

 

It’s time yet again! Just reusing the thread from last year cause why not? I am pleased to host the BT Secret Santa for the seventh (I mean that sounds right? Maybe not?) year!

 

The rules are pretty much the same as the last few years!  

 

 

Rules:

1. US only

2. Must have a minimum of 600 posts on BT and be an active poster within the past two months! This is a community activity so participants should be an active part of said community.

3. You must make an account on elfsfer! That’s where the wishlists will be and the drawing will take place! Make sure your wishlists are updated with proper SHADE information and your address. 

4. The spending minimum is $50. Meaning you can buy one item that is $50 and have it count or multiple items to total up to $50! And as per usual, you can spend over on your elf if you so choose!

5. If there is even the slightest possible hint that you're going to buy something on your wishlist, do not put it on your wish list!

6. Include a gift receipt if the item your buying includes shade selection!

 

 

 

 Deadlines

Hi @IttyxBittyxMe,

 

I can't believe it is that time of year again! The holidays came even faster this year than they did last year 🙂

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

Hello to my buddy! I know you got your gift but I havent heard from you yet, I hope you got a chance to open it and love everything I got you! ❤️❤️

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

@sabrinas I was thinking there where a couple people that had not posted their gifts 🎁, I was worried someone was left out! Hopefully we can can see the great gifts you gave. Always love the unboxings 😊

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

My package came today!!! I was so happy! ❤️ My secret Santa you are incredible. She got me things that had been on my wishlist for 2 years! I'm truly blown away, thank you so much! Despite my tooth infection I quickly ate that yummy caramel.

Honey Almond perfume roller- I fell in love with this two years ago..or more...at a town a couple hours away from me and didn't have the money at the time to get it, and never picked it up since than haha. I'm so excited to have this, it smells so good.

Honey Sticks!! I love all things honey!

Thanks again secret santa! I have it narrowed down to three people lol.

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

@Samtian What an amazing package! That movie is so funny! Enjoy it and all your goodies 🙂

 

Best,

Rebecca 

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

That star wars wrapping paper is so original! The palette is so bright and fun, I'm excited to see how you use it in the pan challenge @Samtian!

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

@Samtian Ooh amazing gifts!! I’ve never heard of honey sticks until now. I’m very curious and will have to google it 😂

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

OMG!  @Samtian this is the perfect gift for you!  Your elf is soooo sweet! And I am in love with that Star Wars wrapping paper! ❤️

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

I loooovvveeee honey sticks! I haven’t had them in years. I just love eating them straight out of the tube. 

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

@IttyxBittyxMeSame here! I just ate one that I fell in love with. Wish I knew what kind it was, it is sooo good.

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

@Samtian Love the colors in that palette! Foot masks are the best!!

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

@imlostagainI agree! I had seen someone post the palette on a thread and fell in love! I was so happy to see it when I unwrapped it.

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

What a great assortment of gifts, @Samtian! Those honey sticks look like they'd be perfect for a cup of tea! I hope your poor tooth is feeling better soon. Dental issues can be the absolute worst!

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

@qusporkI'd imagine the honey is good with tea...I just eat it straight from the sticks haha! Thanks! Teeth infections happen a lot, but dentures sure are out of my price range.

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

@Samtian OoO Did some  chose not to reveal who your Santas were? I saw that on someone else's also! 

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

@GG84Yep! Happened to me last year to lol! I have it narrowed down to 2 though.

Re: US Secret Santa 2018

After taking a slight detour and doing a little disappearing trick, my package arrived today! When it got lost in the USPS system briefly, I had peeked at the origin so I already knew it was coming from @imlostagain!  What I didn't know was how cute she could wrap and decorate or how many amazing goodies she could tetris into one box ❤️ I love everything, TY SO MUCH! And thanks to @IttyxBittyxMe for continuing to host us.

I love crosswords and am down to less than a dozen on my current book, perfect timing! I have been lusting over a bkr bottle and loved this one when I saw it. I am SO EXCITED to have my first BKR- it is even cuter in person. The gratitude journal is so cute- I was wanting to start one in the new year and this will not only be functional but look great out as well.There were awesome lifestyle items packed in too!

Some of my favorites and a couple new things too. I dropped a JB lip balm on the floor at work yesterday without the cap on and it wasn't coming back from the hospital floor, so another one with perfect timing! I haven't tried most of the things in the egg mellow set which is exciting, but it also has my favorite body butter YAY! Very excited to try the colourpop too, I have used very little from the brand.BUT WAIT- Theres more!!! OMG! Some of my favorites and a couple new things too.

Thankfully I got my fiancé his own box of stroopwafels for christmas so I only have to keep these safe for a couple days. I love that they are wrapped two to a pack because once I open the big box I always feel pressured into eating them all instantly so they don't go bad, now I can pace myself! I never said anything about pacing myself on the orange, which is half gone already! OOPS ;)And can't forget the snacks.. The ones she sent couldn't have been picked better myself.
