Secret Santa

[gansky1]

Yay! It looks beautiful in your arms, Jeff! Hope you and everyone else on AW.org had a great Christmas!

My SS was parunner58 (Mike) and he sent me a wonderful commemorative ornament, postcard and information about the Peace Candle in his hometown, Easton, PA. It's very interesting and a wonderful tradition in a season of peace and love. Thanks again, Mike!

Got mine but have been out of town!

Got my gift before Christmas and opened it just before leaving for western NY for the holidays and I must give a big thanks to my secret santa who did an outstanding job. I received a vintage glass coffee carafe/warmer and an egg poacher both in original packaging. Even my partner was excited!!

I am not sure who my secret santa is but am sure appreciative of the wonderful gifts.

Thank you and happy New Year!

Thanks Mrs. Clause! The gift had been delivered the Thursday before Christmas - from Texas. The Ariel soap will be a blast to use in the 1-18, and the automobile books were outa sight! I've always wanted the 50's book, and the 70's adds were a hit with the family as well! I'll have to give that coffee a try one of these mornings - it is tough to creep into work at 6:30 these days -

Much appreciated,

Ben

Funny you should appear, Ben

Ben was wonderful:

1974 Spring-Summer Sears catalogue. I cannot believe what we wore back then. I was 14, so I remember, however, darn it.

1956 January Better Homes and Gardens.

1957 January Ladies' Home Journal.

Maytag repair manual, including Halo of Heat, 08 series washers, and the direct drive dishwashers.

annnnnnd

a Cobalt Fiesta creamer and sugar!

Ben is "teh awesome!"

Mine came in on Christmas Eve! I'm back in Iowa at my mom's house, but it's fun to have something to look forward to when I get home to Seattle.

My haul!

Well! My secret Santa certainly went all out:

A Hello Kitty keychain welcoming me to Hawaii;
A calendar of Hawaiian sunrises and sunsets;
A bottle of "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific!" *
Owners manuals for TWO Kirby vacs and a Hoover Constellation (in an envelope marked "More Appliance Dreams";
And the best part...
A box of hand decorated Christmas tree balls with vintage appliance brand names and logos on them! And one with my name! I particularly like the "Sunbeam Swoop"!

Thank you, Secret Santa! All those pretty pictures of Hawaii. Hmmm. I might have to go visit some day...

Look what I got!

Yes, I know it's late, but sometimes things take a bit longer to get to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Besides, it is still Christmas until January 6 (twelve days and all)

Here are the packages-What's inside?

The reveal!

My secret santa was Irishwashguy/Ritchie who must have spent waaay too much money, but got me some thing I will really enjoy!
I got a set of stainless steel measuring cups and spoons that I really need-How did he know? There is also a box of Godiva chocolates (I ate one immediately!), a cute hot pink hippopotumus clip/teabag wringer, some fun detergent and fabsoft, and a Maytag ad that I have never seen. My favorite thing is the computer mouse which is a small replica of a Miele vacuum cleaner-that's the most clever thing ever!
Thanks again Ritchie!
