My Secret Santa hit it out of the park and definitely made me test my ability to not open my presents right away. I got the boxes last week and was told that the card would explain the thinking behind them and to wait to open until I got it. I succeeded although there were more than a few times when I was just really close to cutting it open to peek.

I got a really nice stainless steel Cuisinart 14" stir-fry pan which I will definitely be using a lot of. they also got me a steamer basket, something which I have been really needing for a while now since I started trying to make my own dumplings. One of the recipe books I have been wanting was in there "101 Asian Dishes You Need to Cook Before You Die". A stainless steel wok turner to use with the wok will come in handy.

For my dogs, they gave them a virtually indestructible dog ball that they will have fun playing with outside and inside. It was one of the Santa's late dog Soco's all-time favorite toys.

Lastly was a nice card that I enjoyed reading and that explained their choices for the gifts. I am extremely happy and already making a shopping list to make a few recipes this next week
