Just seeing more than 1 item in the box was enough to make me say "They gave me WAY too much"...

Just wait. I went a little overboard, but I was in the giving mood (plus I had accumulated lots of stuff that I hadn't used and probably never would....so it was a great excuse to unload it onto someone else. heh).

I feel inadequate, but I gave as much as I could with my limited budget this month. Holidays and heading home is always really expensive... I can't wait to see what I got. And when my recipient posts pictures...
 
UGH blackberry internet outages FTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sweetest. hat. EVER. 😀 and i needed a nice new hat for golf so it worked out good. these balls will end up in a pond or field, you should have just went with some dirty old top flites 😀 😉

Merry Christmas everyone...

I only have 3 really crappy pics to post (girlfriend is fail with her Blackberry camera 😀 ) but they are too big to post

My SS get major karma for his research. When I opened the package, there was a wrapped item. On it was a note that said, open first, then read note.

The contents of the package:

The note:

Again, major props SS for your research. I promptly watched the movie (which I hadn't seen in AGES), and told 50 or so people it seems about how cool of a gift I got.
 
Just received a card from my SS as well as the present a while back -

Thanks SS 🙂

Love the presents 😀
 
My SS went way overboard, and by way overboard I mean that his/her gifts came in three decent sized boxes. I managed to hold my curiosity at bay and didn't open them until today. I have to say thank you very much SS. Pictures will be coming later today or tomorrow, I accidentally left my digicam at my parents last night but I'm going by today of course.

Edit As promised here are the pictures of what my SS sent to me
