Love the sound of Apuski's cardholders - my sister would love something like that! Will track down!

ReineDeSaba · 22/12/2011 21:13

well I now know at least one element of my Xmas day outfit..I will be wearing my new scarf..just got to work out the rest Grin

MarshaBrady · 22/12/2011 21:14

Amber I am so pleased, like a 6 year old Grin.

I was a bit late as had to run to shops, took it with me but iphone isn't working yet. But glad I got back and opened it. Lovely!

These are all so lovely.

I am definitely wearing mine a lot and on Christmas Day.

It has a little star on it too.

Hi, I'm here too. Got some yummy angora blend knee high socks. Perfect under new boots! Thank you so much SS. DH a little intrigued!

AntPants1 · 22/12/2011 21:15

Am sitting with a big grin on my face. My DH thinks I am a loon......!

AmberNectarine · 22/12/2011 21:16

Loving reading all these posts (with DH asleep, head on my lap, bless), feel very festive all of a sudden!

OllieinOrange · 22/12/2011 21:17

Well done Amber for suggesting SS in the first place and to Red for organising! As Mirande would say', "such fun""!

OllieinOrange · 22/12/2011 21:18

Is anyone else desperately trying to match presents with senders?!

IceCreamCastles · 22/12/2011 21:20

Yes-thank you red for organising-brilliant job.

Thank you again my Ss- really love it and will now have to source suitably stylish pen to write in it with.

blossoming · 22/12/2011 21:22

Definitely thanks to amber for suggesting and red for organising. (wiggling cosy feet) Such well matched presents! I'm in awe!

AmberNectarine · 22/12/2011 21:22

I was just thinking I need a glam new pen too, icey

And yes, red, and mr red, thanks so much for organising!

blossoming · 22/12/2011 21:23

Did I mention my socks are grey, and stripey!

pickledsiblings · 22/12/2011 21:24

It really is something special this thread isn't it Smile. Sorry the newbies missed out but there's always next year.

MarshaBrady · 22/12/2011 21:25

Yes thanks so much Amber and Red and my SS. Great idea and organising. Smile

notyummy · 22/12/2011 21:26

Oooh yes- quite right. Big festive thanks to Red and Amber.

OllieinOrange · 22/12/2011 21:26

I am really in awe of other's gift buying ability. Who's still to open? NJC, Emo?

AmberNectarine · 22/12/2011 21:27

I was just thinking that pickled! After DS I really lost my way style wise (think ripped, baggy jeans and zip up goodies [shudder]) and I really credit this thread with keeping me on the straight and narrow this time. I have loved getting to know you all, and really hope to meet some of you in the new year!

ReineDeSaba · 22/12/2011 21:29

wonderful idea and brilliant organising..many thanks amber and red

pickled this thread is indeed just full of utter lovely ladies Smile

AmberNectarine · 22/12/2011 21:29

hoodies, obvs - there was nothing good about them!

pickledsiblings · 22/12/2011 21:30

I'm checking out now - off to watch 'The Girl who played with Fire'. Enjoy the rest of your evenings, thanks for a lovely half an hour.

ApuskiMcClusky · 22/12/2011 21:30

Yes, looking forward to hearing what the others have got!

Anyone else reading the list of presents and remembering the dilemma of what to get? I'm sitting here thinking "ooh, that's a good idea!".

blossoming · 22/12/2011 21:30

And carciofi

blossoming · 22/12/2011 21:31

Big sigh of relief that recipient seemed pleased!

OllieinOrange · 22/12/2011 21:34

Mint Velvet sale one (Bloss - were you looking for a sequin dress a while back - nice longe sleeved black one on there but only in a 12?)

They also have a pearl coloured version of the top I have - looks like they have made it a bit longer too which is good here

Portia4 · 22/12/2011 21:34

Thanks so much Amber, Red and of course Secret Santa!
DD1 has just been lurking over my shoulder and commented "great pressies from great people for great people!" Bless!
