Ragdoll Cat Forums

I'm going to start this thread early, I know its not yet Christmas Day for all of you.

I would like to say a HUGE thanks to my Secret Santa!! : )
I recieved a gorgeous Ragdoll calendar, two beautiful christmas mice toys for Jake & Jaz and the Cat Fancy Magazine featuring Ragdolls (this was great as you don't see things like this in Australia! I am thinking of subscribing because the magazine was fantastic). I know who my SS is now but I won't say yet as it would make your guess easier lol.

So what did you get and if you haven't opened it or if it isn't signed off, who do you think your Secret Santa is?

I had no idea who my SS was but my SS was kind to me and wrote who she was on the card so I don't have to guess!

I will post photos later, when I have time

Merry Christmas and Thanks to all you Secret Santas! I hope you have enjoyed it

My Secret Santa sent something for me and for the cats.

There was a big box with individually wrapped presents.

First up was a bag as Whiskas cat treats.

The second packet revealed three mice: a white one, a grey one and a pink one. The cats prompt started playing with them. Given the fact that there were three mice and five cats, you can imagine that the poor mice was slapped around a bit.

Next I pulled out a tin of individually wrapped candies.

Lastly there was a Lily of the Valley candle in a gorgeous container.

I don't know if I mentioned it in the questionnaire, but Lily of the Valley is my absolute favorite flower.

Thank Secret Santa, thank you very very much.

This is so much fun. I knew that my gift was from Sephora since it was sent from there (I had a smart Secret Santa to hide her identity - wish I had been that smart!!). I knew if it was from Sephora, it was going to be something really good, so I've been anxious to dig into it!!! First of all, in the box was another Sephora box that looks so elegant - the box itself is like a gift even without the wonderful things in it. Inside was a gigantic jar of "Gingerbread man scented hot salt body scrub" and a big bottle of "Gingerbread man foaming bubble bath and shower gel" -- I'm going to feel so pampered!!!!! Additionally was a tube of pumpkin spice muffin lip shine (did I mention how good everything smells??), a little tube of lip gloss, and some samples of body lotion, shampoo, and a liquid line-eraser (can't wait to try that on my forehead furrows!)

Thank you so much to my wonderful Secret Santa, Kathy (KatLeen) - there was a card inside!!!! I am truly going to enjoy this gift and think of you every time I use it.

First a huge thank you to my secret Santa. This was amazing!!.I must have been a good girl this year.

Sorry with the pics got carried away

I was unusually tired so was going to bed without opening my present . But after seeing this post, I knew I had to run down and open my box, and oh how thrilled and excited I am. My secret santa has made my Christmas with her generosity and unusual, wonderful presents. Not to mention the beautiful shiny silver paper everything was beautifully wrapped in. For a smallish box, there were many packages (and I always love to open packages) including stunning hand knit catnip mice (made by a forum member), a beautifully embroidered bookmark (made by a forum member's father), a book, "How to live with a neurotic cat", a cat's meow cat sitter dvd, cool cat notecards, a Kool kool photo album for pets, meaty middle treats, and a most beautiful, cool and unusual necklace that I can not wait to wear (wait until you see the pictures of it!)!

Thank you my secret santa. I will wait to reveal your name until everyone has opened their presents, and will take pics to post tomorrow. But I wanted to tell you how thrilled I am and love, love every present you kindly and generously sent. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. And I see it is 12:05, officially Christmas, this part of the world. Merry Christmas to my special secret santa and friends.

I forgot to post a picture. I'll do that tomorrow.

To my wonderful Secret Santa whom I have no clue who it is totally but I have a idea but will wait to see.

I simply love my gift. Bet you all are wondering what it is aren't you?

I received a winter Scrapbook Gift tin with album. Here is what it includes.
(It has over 850 pieces)
1 Decorative tin
40 designer papers
10 Page protectors
3 rubber magnets(which I collect)
1 inspiration sheet
694 Stylish stickers
26 Epoxy Stickers
40 Glitter rub ons
60 chipboard Stickers
and 1 Album.

I almost think I died and went to scrapbook heaven. So to my SS. I thank you, James thanks you(gets me out of his hair for a bit), my fur babies are saying oh yeah now Momma will be taking even more pictures of us. HELP...

NOW I got to open 1 gift from James tonight or I would not sleep. He gave me a new Olypmus E 600 D-SLR digital camera with 2 lenses.(hope it was ok to post that with this one.

Back to my SS. All I can say is how loved I felt. You have blessed me beyond words. Thank You seems so small to say for something as special as this. Pictures were taken with the new camera and so tomorrow some time I will post them.
God Bless

Hee, hee, ho, ho, ho. Great fun here today opening presents, not least the large cardboard box that had arrived mysteriously from Australia. It was one of the first to be opened as could no longer contain excitement, and inside there were 2 beautiful crackers for my 2 beautiful Raggies (they haven't opened them yet....) and a gorgeous key-ring for me with a grand piano on it! Wonderful! Thank you so much for your lovely gifts. And, guessing, well it's from Oz so maybe Meghan or maybe Cloe???? Thank you and have a lovely Christmas down under!

Oh wow, this sounds like everyone had so much fun!! I was so sorry to have missed out when the idea was initially put forward but I have loved seeing and hearing of what everyone received.

Judy, I know who your secret santa is/was and now I feel included in at least a small way

Happy Christmas everyone
