MLPTP EVENT 2019 Secret Santa Swap brag thread!

[Gingerbread]

Post all your fantastic goodies here :santasmile:

 

[Gingerbread]

On the first day of Christmas my Secret Santa gave to me.....
A plushie Posey as mint as can be!

So, my Secret Santa was being clever about shipping and had one of my items sent directly to me. I was going to just leave it under the tree until the rest of my package arrived but she gave me the all clear to open it so I ripped into it like a 3 year old, I mean, gracefully unpackaged my parcel

Isn't she a beaut! So soft and fluffy



I guess since it's so early in the swap I will wait to reveal my partner until a couple more people start getting packages. She is most awesome though

 

[Tak]

Wow, she's so pretty! Congratulations!

 

[Skybreeze]

She’s so beautiful! I think what I love most about her, is there doesn’t look like there’s any imperfections on her eyes, which is hard to come by on the softies. Congrats on part one of your swap!

ps. I love your tree skirt and Linus.

Ho Ho Ho everypony! Guess what appeared at my house last night under the last full moon of the year?!? An absolutely delightful surprise from @Tak !!!

This box was packed!!! Holy cows did I ever get spoiled!

An absolute Meow-ntain of goodies!

Look at all those ponies! OMG I was not expecting such a heard, I love them all so much!! And the blind bags and sugar free yummies too! ( I think I have one piece of the toffee left this morning). I really love the crocheted goodies too! Cat tail and Pikachu for scale because neither would move.

These are the awesome blind bag kitties and ponies I got! The Rarity is so soft and fuzzy, I love her!

My Build A Bear son, Ambien, decided the crocheted goodies were for him to enjoy. I hope you don't mind, he has been a very good boy!

Thank you sooooo much, @Tak and Eevee too, you both absolutely spoiled me and I feel so loved! I hope you both have a very merry holiday! You are the best, sweetest elves ever!!

We're so glad you liked it! I really need to ask, now, though. What is a porg? I asked everywhere we went and couldn't find someone who knew what they were. My web search brought up star wars and a bird-ish creature. I've only seen episodes 4-6. The original 3. Do I need to see this new star wars? lol

 

[Smashed and on Fire]

When they recorded on an island in one of the Star Wars films, the one where Luke is hiding, there were puffins everywhere. Too may to cut out of the film so the transformed them all to Porgs to make the place seem more otherworldly. Nice problem to have. They are very cute birds and there is lots of merchandise of them. Hope. This helps.

Puffin to Porg: How Nature Inspired Star Wars

The porgs seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi weren't originally in the script. But the puffin population on Skellig Michael changed everything.

Thank you so much for that excellent explanation, @Smashed and on Fire ! Porgs are wonderful space puffins!

So my box couldn't have come at a better time. Have to get my car to the mechanic tomorrow; & most of my Christmas cheer has faded away. But thanks to @Uftaki , I got a little bit of it back! Thank you so much, you have no idea how much I needed this tonight! So without further ado; the awesomeness that came to me from over the border. (please excuse the flash; my kitchen is super dark, but it's the best room in the house for photos)

Look at that! Stuffed full of Christmassy goodness. I loved those pinecones right away; they are so me!

A Christmas duckie! My newest obsession is my ducks, so this definitely made me smile.

And everything all unwrapped. Those chocolates are already gone. And if I wasn't already enjoying an adult beverage that coco would be broken into too. The ponies are all perfect! And I'm gonna have to get a bigger tree next year to put all my new ornaments on. @Uftaki , thank you so much. You went above & beyond for this swap; & put me back in the Christmas spirit. :xmashug:

 

[Cactusflower]

Great boxes! I’m so excited to receive mine that I can’t wait.

 

[Tak]

Ditto!

 

[Uftaki]

@tsukikakushi Awww.... I am so glad that my package arrived at just the time you needed it! :3

(lol) Glad you liked the chocolates! XD And I'm also very happy that you loved everything else! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

[Tak]

Ack! How did this thread get so low! I'm a bumping it higher!

 

[icecreamgirl]

First up I received this gorgeous Disney card, a super cute fluffy purse and some yummy sweet treats

Next up - a cute rabbit tree ornament, some sweet Christmas bunting and more candy - yum!

Last but definitely not least the ponies!! Aren’t they gorgeous

Thanks so much for a fantastic box!
Merry Christmas

 

[Tak]

Congratulations! Great box!

 

[kittensquid]

So glad you liked everything @icecreamgirl !! I have the same bunting in my house and just had to share the cuteness with someone lol.

 

[Tak]

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Thank you so much @icecreamgirl ! I woke up to a wonderful pony box this morning! Squee! I love it! (Picture heavy!)
Here's the box

Then all the contents.

The ponies! (Epic!) Nice and spicy is gorgeous! Photo finish says "we go!" (On to the next picture )

So much Harry potter goodness! (Eevee has claimed it)

Delicious chocolate ornaments and a better picture of Harry potter ornaments

Last but not least some hot chocolate and the most adorable marshmallows ever!

Thank you! We love it all! :xmashug:

 

[icecreamgirl]

I’m so glad it arrived safely @Tak and that you are happy with everything, I hoped Eevee would like the Harry Potter bits Have a great Christmas

So, my box came!! It’s been a couple days so my edibles are gone now (I took them to work and shared - kinda wish I didn’t).

I want to send a warm hug to my PFF @Cactusflower for curating a fantastic swap box for me. You know me so well.

I obviously got too excited while opening my box I forgot to take a photo of it all nicely wrapped in adorable G4 paper. I also forgot to photograph everything. So, I only have pictures of my ponies.

BUT my box came complete with some Golden Oreos, Wine Gums and white chocolate Twix!! They were all very yummy and kept me going at work.

I am floored by the generosity of my dear friend. Not only did she find some G1’s that have been on my want list for a long time, but she found them in beautiful condition.
First Moonstone:

then this beautifully flocked Heartthrob:

And Shovels:


Then when I thought the box was over there was still 4 packages waiting for me:

(While I knew about the EQG’s, where in the hay did you find the rainbow ponies because now I need to stalk stores in Ontario for them!!) Thanks again Cactusflower!! You did great once again. :xmashug:
