Sphynxmas 2018 Lair Gift Exchange

W

Did we ever come to a consensus on whether we are going to wait until Christmas, or open our packages when they arrive?

I think we decided that you can do either way depending on what works best for you (Christmas being so busy and all) as long as you post photos

 

[Silke]

I'd love to see all the pressies as they come in.

 

[KenzieNPenelope]

Everyone check your mail tomorrow,, my special someone will be receiving their package then!

 

[NinaGato]

I have determined all sleighs will be in the air by tomorrow. Thanks to all who have participated this year. I cant wait to see all the openings.

 

[KenzieNPenelope]

My package came and we are sooo excited!!!! I think I might wait a little to open everything?? Or should I now!!!!

Nash is like open it now!

 

[Arke]

All the kitties look so excited about their presents! I hope the one I sent is okay, I've never really sent a package before and it was pretty stuffed...

This is so fun! I'm so glad I got to be a part of it!

I could have just kept buying things! I was like oh I still have room in my box hahaha so I know what you mean. Can't wait to hear if my secret santa likes it!

 

[Silke]

So just as I was about to head out -- "La Poste" arrived, handing me a big wrapped present.

I brought it inside, and all the sleepyheads suddenly appeared.

Jez helped to unwrap.

She had to make sure she knows who it's from, so a close inspection of the card.

Livvy also checked.

Jez thinks this is cool.

Jez: "DIBS!"

Livvy: "Iz mine."

Once I'd spread out all the lovingly wrapped and labelled packages, Livvy decided Jez can keep the box. She keeps the presents.

More in Part 2

Part 2

Pixie also wanted to see, and Livvy -- who normally runs from Pixie -- actually swatted her!!

There was lots and lots and lots!

Pixie wants to keep it all.

Jez also wants to keep it all!

All the goodies

I tried to get a pic of the lovely dragon pen holder, but there was a Jezzie butt always in the way!

There were toys, nibbles, smelly things, horsey treats, a soft blankie, a diary and a wonderful little dragon!

Thank you, Secret Santa (And Chevy and Caber!), from Silke, Pixie, Jez, Livvy, Oz and Stormy!!

How fun to follow the excitement through the pictures! Great gifts too.

 

[KenzieNPenelope]

When mine arrived last night, I decided to wait. But seeing all of this makes me want to just go ahead and open it!!!! Maybe after work today. I’ll be posting if I do!!!!

 

[Silke]

That squeaky mouse toy.... oh my God....
I don't think Jez has stopped playing with it yet. All I hear is "Squeak" BLAM "Squeak" BLAM.
She's pulled it off the door twice so far lol.

 

[KenzieNPenelope]

I came home and decided to open my package and I’m just so overwhelmed! Thank you soooo much @susi794 for all of the amazing, thoughtful gifts!!!! You’re an angel!

When Penelope realized the first gift we opened was her favorite brand of treats, she decided to stick around for more!!! Lol

And just when she thought it couldn’t get any better.... 3 DIFFERENT FLAVORS!!!!!!

After opening the dragonfly toy, that’s all Nash could focus on.. it has been 30 mins now and he’s still at it!!!!!

An overview of all of the gifts, with Nash still fighting that darn dragonfly!!!!

The first thing Nash took to!!!

How did you know I needed this HAHAHA!!! Love!!!!!!!!


There are so many great, thoughtful goodies in here; I couldn’t thank you enough @susi794. Merry Christmas to you and your family

I got another package from Amazon today....I think its from my Secret Santa? It has nothing in it but the the gift. No cards or messages, so I added it to the other package. Maybe I won’t wat to give it to them after all. Will decide tomorrow I guess...

All sleighs are en route or already landed. Thanks to @admin for hosting such a great site so we can do events like this.
I know that the gift exchange is very meaningful to the members. It is so fun to see all the cats getting their gifts.

Thank you! It was our first year and Holiday with the Lair- the best!

 

[Catzzzmeow]

@NinaGato thank you for coordinating the gift exchange...it looks like another successful year of fun and timely gifts!!!

 

[Teri Lawrence]

Will decide tomorrow I guess

THAT'S FROM YOUR SECRET SANTA... I'm sure of it. That one's specifically for you! Package 3 is on its way! Should be there by Friday, the sleigh is running a little behind schedule.

 

[Teri Lawrence]

What a blessing to receive such thoughtful gifts! My kitties are playing hard with ALL their new toys and snacking like champs over here! I'm loving my beautiful candle and the kids have devoured the Sour Patch Candy Canes! Thank you so much! We are so thankful for everything! This has been great!
