I have just opened my SS gift. Couldn't wait for DH to get up. Wrapped in 2 enjo tea towels and an enjo wash bag (I love the enjo tea towels they are such a generous size) is a wonderful bottle of French red. Also 2 sets of really pretty cake cups and toppers. Plus the Women's Weekly Squares and slices cookbook. I've already decided what I will make first and that is the apple cinnamon custard squares. Thankyou to my very generous SS.  :-* I love everything you have given me.  :D

Opened my SS gift while the family are still sleeping ;D
You tricked me SS :D The brand name on the box had nothing to do with the contents :D
A very clever and thoughtful SS has selected some very cool things to go in the motorhome (or kitchen). A julienne peeler, mini spatula/tongs, a garlic crusher, a very pretty bag that can carry up to 20kgs, a packet of Tasmanian pepper berries and a beautiful card. Thank you SS. I love all the things you have chosen for me :-*

I have been spoilt!

A beautiful lunch bag (which hopefully is too pretty for DH to steal for his lunch). A box of cupcake cases, a sweet fairy to go on my tree, choccies, and a bookmark and brooch (an elephant, funnily enough in colours that match my fabric covered notebook that lives in my bag).
What a clever and generous Santa - thank you!!!

Wonderful presents everyone, some very thoughtful gifts.

i can't get a photo up but i received a very beautiful Kath Kidston apron which I'll be wearing this afternoon while cooking Christmas dinner. Thank you to my SS.

Finally got a photo to post. I love the apron. Thank you again.

After waiting patiently for weeks and weeks without opening my SS gift it was the first one I grabbed for this morning.  The gifts are beautiful, SS, thank you so very much (especially the personally signed one!) I am thrilled with both of them and feel very lucky to have had you as my SS ... but as I can't photograph them until early in January you will all have to wait until then to see them and I am not going to say any more until then.

I've opened my SS pressie.  Thank you so much!  Until yesterday I didn't have a stove or fridge and today I have both, installed, working and I have .........the most perfect apron to wear when in my kitchen.  I'm absolutely thrilled.  It's as if you have seen my new kitchen because it matches perfectly or was it because you remembered when we voted on the forum for which apron we liked ?   😝 I think my secret Santa is very sneaky

Merry christmas to my SS and thank you so much ☺️
 


PS - it matches my moon boot 😜
