@Doctor-S thank you so much for the great gift. I finally got home and opened it. I appreciated the card and the story behind the shirts. This has been fun!

You're very welcome!! I remembered you asking about cat toy colors because you posited that cats' eyes see certain colors more strongly, and that you thought your cat responded best to blue toys :cat:

The other portion should be coming soon...sorry it is not nicely wrapped :( Meant to put it all together in a nice package...then finals ate me santa

My 'best cat dad ever' mug is still sitting proudly out on the table, and I received a

'to do:
(X) survive med school
( ) conquer the freaking world'

t-shirt that I think might become either my exam-prepping or exam-taking outfit of choice! I feel spoiled :)

also found out I passed my last final so hooray I really am actually one-eighth of a doctor!

Aw, thanks so much coop! I love them both and they really brightened up the pre- and post-finals haze. They're perfect!

btw, tried to get a pic that showed both items and my cat. here's what my cat said to that plan:

On the next try she duplicated the facial expression of that cat on the mug, after which I gave up and stopped torturing her.

My Secret Santa knows I love animals; and that I wished for a gift that would benefit animals in need of compassion, care and kindness.

So, Santa surprised me with a beautiful painted tiger tote that was created by a tiger (as a form of enrichment for the tiger, using canvas and non-toxic blue paint). The tiger is homed in an accredited sanctuary dedicated to the conservation and protection of exotic cats.
@PippyPony thank you very much for this awesome gift - love, love, love it! :biglove:

Omg I’m really jealous of this. That’s super cool Pip and I might want to know where I can buy one

Thank you @specaslew !! I love all of it! I hope you realize how exciting an ocean-scented bath bomb is to a California native that has been landlocked in the Midwest for the 6.5 of the last 7.5 years. :biglove:

Can confirm that the bath bomb smelled fantastic. And I hacked it in two, so I get to enjoy it twice!
 
I got my gift today! There was no sdn name, so I don't know who it's from, but I love it! I'll post pictures later. :D

This isn't the only thing I got, but it is the BEST:

*poof*

The pet odor eliminating candle is awesome. It will be very useful in my house :p

Thank you Santa! Millie and Tali say thank you, too!

Sleeping off her treats and my camera clicks woke her up. How dare I? :p

Secret Santa things arrived! Both much needed gifts! Santa isn't going to believe that with all the baking I do, I don't actually own an apron (thus I end up making a huge mess of myself!). Pictures later since I'm at work

Totally just posted the same pictures twice.... oops :smack:
 
Thank you whoever my Secret Santa was (I didn't see a name). I just got back into town with internet access. I got a really awesome calendar for women in science and a great exotic vet med book. Thank you! :)

@britzen THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I love it! I got my ochem grade back the same day your package arrived so it worked out so well. :)

Will post photos later, but I got 2 shot glasses with ochem jokes on them and then a sampling of different tequilas. All of which I hadn't tried before! (Except for the Cuervo)
 
Oh man, all of these posts made me realize I never mentioned that I got my secret santa gift and I loved it! I've already used it several times and of course, having a bunch of kitties on it fits my future as a cat hoarder dedicated owner of multiple cats very nicely :D

I'm pretty sure it's from @StartingoverVet - thank you! I'll try to get pictures on here eventually but I can't ever figure out how to post phone photos directly onto SDN so some mystery emailing to myself may be necessary :p

And it's quite possible it would've come up in a 'friend of friend' recommendation on FB.

Also! I got my gifts, thank you so much @nyanko !! Chai is using the purple treat-toy in her bigger crate to entertain herself and not howl at me, and the beagle-mug is freaking awesome. I love mugs. I shall post pictures at some point because I am also technologically challenged, but also sleep challenged.

Hooray! Good timing! Sorry it was late, it would have cost a small fortune to get it internationally shipped and arrived in time for Christmas.


And a big thank you to @Rozzieray for the delicious chocolates, adorable mug, and the FANTASTIC mermaid tail shaped blanket :heckyeah:. Perfect to keep me warm during a bomb cyclone and two cold snaps! (pics maybe someday if I'm not lazy - Christmas travel and family time is exhausting, y'all :laugh:)

I'm glad you liked them!
 
PSSST.

We do want to hear from anyone who didn't get a gift, btw. Slacked a little at the very end with tracking things but pretty sure everything was sent.

I also made you some beer jelly.....but it kinda failed and was not fit to be sent. :laugh:

It wasn’t your fault. I had already left AZ by the time your gift got there and then I had to wait for my dad to send it to me in Oregon. No worries at all! Plus I love them!
