Thank you my Secret Santa 😍😍 Hope that Midoriya’s unstoppable spirit and Felix felicis will give me the luck to get into vet school. In the mean time I’ll keep warm with the scarf

😊

 

[Karabiner13]

Very thoughtful gifts @Karabiner13 ...thanks so much.
The dog treats are great for Zephyr as he has food allergies so they are perfect.
The banana cat toy has already been approved by BonBon.....he gangsta catted and knocked it on ground after some good sniffing.
Mrs SOV claimed the cocoa.
And I guess I must be Evil Darth Vader? Can’t argue
Not sure about the spoon yet.

Glad you liked them.
Have you heated up the mug yet?

 

[sheltermed]

No pics yet, but I received my gifts from @twelvetigers today! A tortilla blanket to wrap myself, Gail, and Pizza (my new cat!) up like a burrito and an awesome world of warcraft mug! Can't wait to snuggle my pets with a hot chocolate 😍 Thank you so much, TT!!!

 

[twelvetigers]

Does it legit look like a tortilla? I was really hoping the pictures were accurate. And if I didn’t want the prime shipping part, I’d have repackaged it in aluminum foil to have chipotle vibes. But alas.

Yes, it's a circle! Not just a square with tortilla pattern.

 

[twelvetigers]

They had different, like... different tortillas. One was more corn, and some others had different amounts of toastiness... it was almost overwhelming. I tried to pick the best one. 🤣

 

[StartingoverVet]

Glad you liked them.

Lol. Thanks for the hint. I probably would not have noticed otherwise.. that was pretty amusing,

 

[KCgophervet]

update: used the wax seal kit last night, pretty sure I did worse as I went on but they look pretty sweet! Thanks again @TheGirlWithTheFernTattoo

 

[Skimble]

So I’m not sure if I should be thanking someone here or in the lounge, but I got a beautiful box of assorted teas today! They smell really good and I’m looking forward to trying each flavor!

 

[sheltermed]

@twelvetigers

ETA: she looks so freaking miserable lol, cant stop laughing. that's just her face though, i promise

 

[twelvetigers]

Awww poor Gail. 😍

Your Santa has told us that it was your lounge Santa!

 

[PhiloslothicalStudent]

Thank you so much @Dinashadow Nemo loved his present! He could barely wait for me to take it out of the packaging! I loved the leggings as well! It was such a nice surprise to come home to after my hectic ER shift today! Now I'm gonna have to take away the toys so I can sleep, because he won't stop playing with them!


with them!

Yay I'm glad he likes it! And surprise, there should be one more thing coming. It was just sent out a little slower than everything else! 🙂

Hubz brought my packages with him so I could open them at last! Thanks so much Santa! Hubz rolled his eyes but I fully believe you can never have too many fuzzy blankets, especially with CHRISTMAS KITTIES!

I totally forgot to put my SDN username! Lol I was your secret santa! I'm glad you like everything!!!

Thank you!! The gray kitties look like one of mine and the orange ones look like my mom's, they are best friends so it's kind of perfect. And this is definitely a time where I need the zen of coloring and I didn't bring any of my coloring books home with me. So overall great choices.

 

[Karabiner13]

Thank you to @Elkhart for some awesome gifts. Chocolate and a picture of Sadie for me. A blanket for Sadie so she doesn't steal my fleece blanket, and some dog toys Caspian loves (and Sadie too). I love them all!

You're welcome! I apologize about the relatively poor quality of the art print; I'll have to use a different company next time. I do hope that I got Sadie's facial markings correct, at least. I think I did, based on photos of her on FB.

I'm happy to see that the pups seem to be enjoying their toys, as well. 🙂

 

[genny]

Thanks @StartingoverVet ! Love the cookie cutters - will definitely be using them next week to make some treats for the staff working the day after Christmas.

Thank you @JaynaAli the wrapping paper was not lost on me so I’m happy your pup contributed to it too

you can see one of my parents’ cats already wants the treats. This is the space child who was also demanding cuddles

I will be using this and it’s lovely

Ahhh the Irene wallet turned out so good!!!

 

[JaynaAli]

Glad it finally got there and you like everything, Bales!

Ahhh the Irene wallet turned out so good!!!

Thanks! I had fun making it. I ended up making a second one after messing up the first version when stitching it, so I definitely learned a lot in the process. Working on a couple more for Christmas gifts for family now.

It did but she’s a bit whiter now 😉 only because I gave her a trace clip

I’m glad to have been your test dummy 😍

 

[vetmedhead]

This was sent weeks ago but I didn't get home to open it until now! Thanks @johnnaboo !

(Cheese invited himself to the box as well)

 

[Animal Midwife]

@muttmanager Thank you for the gifts!

Nearly 100 pokemon stickers with various evolutions. May have to get a sticker book just to store them.

Ultimate Werewolf Deluxe set that comes with a cute poster. More reason for me to fall deeper into the addiction.

A paint-by-number set that cat theme and should give me some hours of relaxation while completing it.

I also enjoyed the cursive on the note inside.

 

[muttmanager]

@muttmanager Thank you for the gifts!

You’re welcome!!!!
Ooo I didn’t realize there was a poster.
I’m glad you like them

[Dinashadow]

Presents finally all arrived!

Comfy unicorn slipper socks which have been keeping my feet super toasty this past week

Spoiler: Socks

These awesome eeveelution pins which will be adorning my backpack soon

Spoiler: Pins

And my favorite is this awesome canvas organizer for all my crochet stuff. So now I can break the viscious cycle of buying stitch markers and yarn needles and then promptly losing them. Not to mention how much time I'll save not digging around at the bottom of my bag searching for the right sized hook

Spoiler: Canvas Organizer

And the best part is the design on the outside

Spoiler: Bonus Cats

Thank you @vetmedhead!!!!!!

You're welcome! I totally forgot to include a card, which I realized while standing in line at the post office. Congrats on your acceptance!!!

 

[marilee]

AHHHHH CONGRATS. WHERE TO?????

I got into North Carolina 😍 It was completely unexpected because I'm out of state and I heard there were 20 seats for 900 people 😱
Still waiting to hear back from my in state school (Davis) post interview but I'd be excited to go to NCSU given that COA is cheaper than Davis. I'm visiting for their welcome weekend to see how I like NCSU. It's going to be a very hard decision.

You're welcome! I totally forgot to include a card, which I realized while standing in line at the post office. Congrats on your acceptance!!!

Haha I totally did the same thing with my secret santa gifts. Thank you so so much!! The moose munch was absolutely delicious and I haven't tried the coffee yet but I think one of my roommates have a coffee grinder so I will tomorrow. You made my day

 

[KCgophervet]

Hi there! *Totally unsolicited meet and greet initiated* I'm a current Davis student and if you have questions let me know! For the record, if NC is cheaper overall, go there. I wish you well in all endeavors!

@Trilt also went to NCSU too

 

[twelvetigers]

I have a strong suspicion that the SS gift I got today is from someone in here. (I also signed up for Lounge SS.) But they didn’t put their username and I’m bad at remembering who people are...

Such cute handmade ornaments! Rigby’s ear was removed by postal system abuse, but I have already fixed it with superglue so no worries. Also a lovely necklace and two squeaky toys that will be quickly destroyed but enjoyed by Oliver. Bailey will probably just bark at Oliver. She’s weird.

Thank you so much, SS that only told me your real name! 😆

Hi! I'll see after Davis decisions are out but I'm super conflicted because I really like them both. Davis has better weather (and I really like the block curriculum) but NC is cheaper. I think overall the $$ won't be that much different cause I'll be in state in Davis. I don't know 🙁

Try Vin COA if you have questions regarding COL in Davis I can help. You'll do great anywhere! Good luck and congrats!

You're welcome! There was a fourth thing as well, but it shipped out lateish.

I've had these for a while now and haven't gotten around to posting them until now.

I may be a weirdo because the socks were the best part! Especially the white ones. Thanks Santa! This is literally the first present I've ever gotten from you 😆
