JPlop's 2014 Secret Santa (remember to send your stuff out in a timely fashion! ^^ )

[TotallyUncool]

That looks like a great assortment!

I got my gift this morning. (He came at 7:00am!) And I know it came from here. Thanks TC!!! I got it before work so I haven't had time to open it. And the valve on the hot water heater went so lot of stress this morning.

[TotallyUncool]

A perhaps misshapen, badly wrapped package?

I hope your water heater turns out OK...

[forgetmenots]

Since I'll be leaving for my hometown tomorrow and I'm an adult that makes my own rules, I've opened my Secret Santa gift early! Muahahaha~~

The package that has been waiting very patiently under my tree for awhile now...

Spoiler: show

It jingles! :O
And inside...

Thank you, Santa!! Check out how regal Ayumi looks on that Tower Records-exclusive clear file!! And biggie photos to store inside, and nummy Miki-approved candies. (Wait, wrong Miki. ) Also some Japanese change (I always forget how laughably light the one yen coin is. I swear that thing would float on water) and adorable little washi ningyou bookmark.

A very big thank you to my not-so-secret secret-santa.

Yayyy. The fact that you know the actual name of bookmark's doll makes me feel like I did the right thing adding it in lol. I hope you enjoy the Chelseas lol Yay

I love present giving

[Jessi]

I didn't get mine yet, but is everyone who got theirs early opening it on Christmas?

I'm really excited to see what everyone got!!!

Cough totally uncool cough

[TotallyUncool]

I'm trying to figure out the exact moment for opening mine -- the sloths are on back order, so I'll have to do without them, but I'm preparing my teeth for opening ceremony.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

I haven't received mine yet... but I wonder who I got it from!

Since I'll be away for most of the day tomorrow, I opened my Super Secret Santa present tonight:

Before:


Opened:

(Note the genuine, actual, real, simulated toothmarks. )
This looks seriously awesome -- a laser-cut steel model of Himeji Castle, with stand!
(And a great card + candy cane.)

Close-up:

This is going to be a lot of fun (and a good challenge) to put together! And I've always loved the look of Japanese castles!
I've been thinking of getting a nice display case, and when I do, this is definitely going to go in it.

Thank you, Super-duper No-Longer-Secret Santa Jessi -- it's an absolutely wonderful gift!

Yay!!!!!!

I'm super excited that you like your gift!!!

You mentioned liking things that were creative or crafty and I thought this might be a good one, but I wasn't sure

Post a picture whenever you complete it of course no rush.

[TotallyUncool]

I will!
