Hello all! I hope it is okay that I am taking the liberty of creating a thread to post what we got from our Secret Santas! I got my Secret Santa gift yesterday from the amazing Lisa (Disalan), I can't believe how on top of things she was and how awesome my gift was! I just couldn't wait to open it so it was an awesome early, mini Christmas!!! She got me several things from CBV, a pack of cookie melts in one of my favorite scents, Country Coffee Cake! Soo yummy, such a perfect "Sunday Morning" scent to me! Also a lip balm in Cinnamon Rolls, yum! I never would have thought to put a bakery scent on my lips but it is so yummy! And so smooth and moisturizing, I am addicted to it! I can't stop putting it on my lips and then smelling my lips haha Aaand a bath bomb in Sweet Snow! Can't wait to take a bath with this! And 4 scent shots, Apple Raspberry Crumble, Twisted Peppermint, Christmas in Who-Ville, and Pink Chiffon I love them! I mixed Sweet Snow and Pink Sugar together way back in the day and called in Pink Snowflakes but Christmas in Who-ville is the best name! And I just adore Pink Chiffon! She also did the cutest things, she made the bath bomb look like a scoop of ice cream in little ice cream bowls and she put a bath pouf on a ceramic cup and made it look like a cupcake! SO creative and adorable! And I got yummy candy and an adorable Winnie the Pooh calendar! As well as cat toys that my cats love! She also got me two different kinds of K-Cups, I tried one this morning and it was delicious! Finally, she made the most adorable handmade ornaments of kitty faces and gingerbread men! Lisa, I can't thank you enough! This gift was so thoughtful and creative and it really cheered me up and helped get me in the christmas spirit! Thank you so so so much, you are so sweet! Merry Christmas!!

Mandy if you have any more trouble let me know. Thanks Kayla for starting the thread! I was gonna start one soon but didn't know if anyone had received theirs early or not. Lisa you did an amazing job on picking out gifts! Those ideas of using the bath bomb as ice cream and the pouf as a cupcake are so adorable! I love the personal touch you put into it! I can tell a lot of thought and heart went into your package. You are so sweet. Now I've definitely gotta get my butt in gear and get out and finish my Secret Santa gift.

I am so glad the box made it to you safely I had a lot of fun putting it together for you. Buttercream is the flavor of lip balm I got for myself and I have been addicted to using mine as well. I hope you like the candle sleeve, I got one for myself as well and my cylinder candle fits in it perfectly. This was a lot of fun and I can't wait to see who everyone's Secret Santa is. Merry Christmas to you all! Please someone send us some cool weather, it was in the mid 60's today and we were wearing short sleeves!

Thank you again!!

Love reading about all the wonderful goodies being received from Secret Santa's! I got mine today from the sweetheart Denise Bricco and I love it! She gifted me a rock glass candle in Lemon Cheesecake Strudel (which I have been wanting to try both the scent and the jar style-- such a pretty glass and the scent is soooo good, another favorite lemon scent!), a snowflake soap in Bound to You (my daughter has this in spray and I love it!), a whipped soap in Breathe of Ireland (yay, I love this stuff for shaving and was running low!), two scent shots (White Christmas - a fav holiday scent of mine, Oatmeal Lemon Cookies -- another great lemon bakery scent), a cute little bag of chocolate candy (Yum!), and a cute card. Thanks so much Denise! Love you! Attachments:

Thanks so much Denise! Love you! Denise is a great Secret Santa! The rock glass candle is so classy and elegant. The snowflake soap is pretty! The whipped soap sounds like it is bathing luxury, what a treat! I absolutely LOVE White Christmas and I' have seriously contemplated ordering it in bath and body. Lucky girl!

It is obvious she really took time picking the perfect gifts for you Jenn was so considerate! I will let you know about the bath and body products. So far I like the lip balm. I think I might have to order one in peppermint patty because I love that minty smell and feel on my lips, but the blue raspberry shushie one is really nice. It glides on like butter. I'm sure your daughters will be really pleased.
