Luckily everyone has been understanding that I have told about SS, the hubby even came with me gift shopping. Now I am just nervous about my SS liking her gift, the 2 year old wrapping job I did  & I feel bad  I didn't make anything homemade.
I decided to learn how to knit and use a knitting loom 2 weeks ago. I have now had 2 knitting lessons, and I think the lovely woman teaching me has Stockholm Syndrome. The only people getting handcrafted by me things are people who HAVE NO CHOICE but to wear what I knit for them.

I'm not making anything homemade. It's just not my forte, I'm not crafty at all. And I have zero time for that with working like a mad women lately. I didn't even do crafty stuff for my wedding last year, it's not my thing.

So in advance, I'm sorry Secret Santee but your not getting any homemade items from this girl. But I think you'll appreciate that because my attempt would be awful. Lol
I didn't make anything either. I have a toddler and it's the last week of classes--there's only so much I have left to give. But I did spend time shopping! And Santee stalking! And I picked up a couple of local items so hopefully it will still feel festive and unique :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I will appreciate ANYTHING I get :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Afghanyland boxes. Not pictured is a leatherman multitool and mini ratcheting socket set. Most of it is just tools and stuff they asked for. I tried to throw in a few fun surprises for them. I'd really like to send them more but while hubby makes good money I really can't afford to send more than 5 boxes.
That's an awesome package! I love that you included bacon!

I may need to set up a trade to get one of those squids!  Sounds super cute.

 
I posted pics of the 4ft one I made in the craftster thread. That one is already half size from the inspiration thread. I was going to make a mini one like 6-8 inches.

I soooo want to find some awesome local something but ummmm the only thing the state of Colorado is known for having an abundance of is a very inappropriate thing to be sending as a Secret Santa gift. Unless that certain something is a thing they are into...either way it's still not appropriate to be sending someone. Lol.

Lol. Well appropriateness is subjective, I suppose hahaha =p Doesn't Colorado have some mountain hippies that make things? I've had people tell me I belong with some hippy group in Colorado =p

I agree... Coors Beer is never an appropriate thing to send.

lol yeah I suppose you're right. I just sometimes forget that I live in a place that's so saturated in that type of culture and that it's not like this everywhere else. Idk, it's just become so normal to see here that I have to remind myself that it's not so normal in many places. Either way, I'm in NO way shape or form sending THAT to my santee! Lol.

I would say send snow, but I guess it would turn into water!

Seriously! Please take this wretched snow! It's 4 degrees out there according to my husband.
I was upset it was 34 this morning lol. Won't be living where you are.

 
Ahhh so far behind on this thread. Three things. 

@Tiffany27la Seriously drooling over here reading about your cooking. I want to come visit you in LA just so I can stuff my face with amazing food! 

@tweakabell MINI STUFFED SQUID! That is amazing. I'd pretty much die of happiness if that was in my box. I love sea creatures

@meaganola Agreed. This thread needs to continue far past Christmas so we can chit chat about random things!

Bahhhhh tell me about it! It's -6 currently and I'm dying. My body isn't used to this. It rarely gets this cold here unless you live in the mountains. I thought moving from Chicago 5 years ago would rid me of the bitter bitter cold. I was wrong!

Ooof. That is horrible. We had our first 'real' snow last night..probably like 3-4 inches. But it's all melted already! 

Thank god. Wasn't ready to bust out the snow blower quite yet. 

 
For the record, I didn't put anything handmade or crafty in my box either. I just ran out of time...work is completely insane and all I want to do when I'm not there is sleep!

Now that I'm all done shopping, I'm stalking my gift recipient less. I've moved on to stalking the rest of you to try to figure out who has me

I know it's supposed to be a 'secret' santa, but I'm too impatient and curious to not try to figure it out!
