Umm, This is my first year doing this and It just boosts your spirits to know that someone with no reward to themselves, would put this kind of time and effort into wonderful, thoughtful presents like this?

I returned home today to a box big enough for my microwave. Puzzled and a little shocked, I slit it open and my 5 year old asked why a giant box covered in "spacemen" came for me and was so full of presents! At this point I saw the bounty and thoughtful card and ran for my ipad to reread the rules and suggested costs for the gift. I thought perhaps I had bought into the "idle rich" gift exchange. Relieved to see that I was correct to remember the $20 suggested cost. Immediately I added to the gift I was sending!

This gift had something for my whole family including Winston, my cat (cat treats)

Awesome books for both my girls, two bottles of wine, wine glasses, Bacon and potato chip chocolate bars, a Blade Runner Ornament (my favorite film), a Vintage JAWS tshirt (another top fave!) An expensive looking cruiser statue at least 16" long!

Unless this person owns a children's bookstore with a chocolate and wine section, along with nerdy gifts and motorcycle art, they went so far above expectations and costs! I think they wanted to make someone's day and they made all five of ours!

Thanks Secret Santa, you added such a smile to our faces. Next year I need to up my game!
