SANTA CAME!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A stocking came filled to the brim with cool stuff!!! Thomas loves his Pajamoose onsie! I LOVE the rubber duckies (my bathroom has a rubber duckie theme!!) Some super cool ornaments including a moose and a crab and SNICKERS!!!! A whale and a Mountie Keychain. And a headlamp (will come in great for night caching!!!) and a leatherman! AND THEN THE COINS!!!!!!!!!!! A Frozen Buns geocoin, a Sunshine gang Geotag in siver and a Sunshine Gang Geotag in gold, an unknown soldier coin, and a Cherry of a Cache coin as well as two Frozen Buns Pathtags!!!! They are all so great!!!!!!!!!!!!! A BIG thank you to my (not so) Secret Santa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!

 

So glad to see you got them, sorry for the delay had to wait on the jamoose, From looking at your gallery I could see you liked travelers, so tried to get coins, animails and tags with holes so they would be ready for missions email me a pic of the pj's if they fir, if they don't pass them along to a newer cacher

 

They're still just a little bit to big for him, so he has plenty of room to grow into them!

 

 

 

 

Thank you for thinking of him! And thanks again for all the great stuff!! I think I'm going to send one of these coins out with the mission to make its way to you! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!!!

WOW

 

as this was my first Secret Geocoin Santa i was just waiting for mine like a small kid waits his gifts. Today I came home and find something from USA and opened that with my daughter.

 

It is a superb selection of geocoins, each one really beautifull. I will post pictures later.

Frozen Buns . which is quite interesting since we are getting here the coldest weather from several years from now.

Java Junking Cache . It is so brilliant that was my daughter who reads the tracking number on it

Merry Cristhmas Cachers - an ornament geocoin that is allready at my Cristhmas tree

Mackey Made iT - it is much more beautifull in the hand than in the screen and lovely.

 

and the cherry on the top, the one for my daughter

 

Moun10girl - absolutly fantastic and beautifull coin

 

Thank you Fox & Hund very much for this wonderfull secret package. I really apreciate the geocoins and your kind letter.

 

Have a Merry Christmas and great and Happy Holidays.

Paulo, Luisa e Rita

Hey, I got one of these a couple of days ago! I didn't know Karma made these, I thought Santa made these!

 

Well, whoever made these adorable little bears, my heartfelt thanks to you for your kindness and generosity. It is just too cute!

[+OverTheEdge]

I want to thank my Secret Santa(s). I have received both missions - but will wait until Christmas to open them (if I can wait that long...)

 

I will report back. Again, THANK YOU so much for the tempting packages!

I sent my package out to the recipient by the closing date Karma requested. Sadly, Furbrat, it's not to you, but I wanted to let whoever else is out there waiting, that there are 2 packages on their way from Sweden, since I know that Solan's is on the way, too, and not yet received by its recipient, either!

Thanks for the reply Naomi. I figure its just delayed, and moving slow in the snail mail . I know some of the packages went out after we sent them from reading the posts. Hopefully it will come soon like my daughters baby which is due any day.

Don't forget to enter our Baby cointest.

I got mine! Yippee! Mine made a long trip!

 

Here is a picture of it before I ripped all the little packages open:

 

Inside was a cool Geocaching pin, and 5 coins!

I got:

A Fluttershy Kiss in Red

A Fluttershy Geotag

A Snozberry GeoJellie

A Polarbeary GeoJellie

And a Bitten By Whitebear Coin

 

Thanks so much Allie! This really made my day. And I love the personlized little mitten ornaments. I'm hanging them on my tree near my little bear I got yesterday!

[+OshnDoc]

Our Kids Mission arrived a few days ago while I was out of town and my children were very patient to wait until I was home to open their package. And a package it was !!!!!!!

 

After carefully opening the package and removing the top layer of packing material, they discovered a BIG red stocking with "Team OshnDoc Kidz" written in golden letters on it and three individual packages plus a card. ----- Well the next few moments are a little blured from all the paper and wrappings flying through the air. But when the dust settled, each of them had three coins and a hole bunch of other things removed from the stocking and the packages, including three stuffed animals, some caching items, three travel companions and and and and. Too much to list all in here.

 

Well, to make this story a bit short ---> have look at their faces and you know how much they liked their Secret Santa package.

 

 

 

 

Thank you (not so) Secret Santa for all these great gifts. I hope everything on your end will be fine soon as well. And Thank You Karma for bringing this much joy to this community.

[+earthrooster]

My package would have called my name and got louder every day until I couldn't take it anymore. So I saved myself from hearing that annoying voice

Great pics all!

 

Feh, please! I couldn't even wait until I got home! I had someone open it for me and tell me what's inside! Now I can't wait to get home (Friday! yay me!) and see the goods *live* and in living color!

 

With some things I have no issue with delayed gratification... but with Christmas presents? Well, if they make it under a tree or something, sure, but when they come in the mail like that???... Nahhh!! Why torture myself? Kudos to those who can wait!

I got an identical package from my "Not So Secret Santa" yesterday, except my Kiss was blue. Although the return address was local, I could tell the package traveled a long way. I was struggling to figure out how to post some pictures but MustangJoni did it first. Ditto for my package. My little mittens are hanging in my cubicle at work.

 

1. Participating - yes

2. Received Name - yes

Thanks to my Secret Santa for the great package and to Karma for putting this exchange together.

Santa Arrived

 

Santa arrived last Friday but this is the first chance I've had to post the results of his visit!

 

My Secret Santa package arrived postmarked from Washington DC...No Idea who that might be. I supposed I could scour the forums for someone with that address listed but I don't might it being an unknown.

 

Now the goodies:

A travel slug, which I will activate and send out soon.

A This Cache Got Leid Coin

A Cachers for Christ Narrow Gate Coin

And a Signal coin from June 2006.

 

Thank you very much Secret Santa.

A very Merry Christmas to you and your family.

 

Merry Christmas to every one else as well

Happy New Year to all.

 

A very cute and skinny bear also arrived this weekend, Thanks

So, I went to thePost Office this afternoon, expecting only to find items addressed to someone named 'Bill' . To my suprise, there was a package. To who you might ask?

 

My Cat Bismarck got a Secret Santa Package!!

 

So I rushed right home to show him what he got.

 

In the package was a pack of little mice, two packs of treats, and some herb (ok, to be PC here... it was cat nip)!

 

There was also some bubble wrap that he loved more than life... it might have been because it smelled of herb too .

 

Thank You, Thank You dear Secret Santa!! You made my little family very very happy!!

 

 

Bismarck is the brown, stripey guy, the little white lady in the foreground is his girlfriend, Monkey Jr.

[+joranda]

My secret santa was in my mailbox today! My son was as excitied as I was to open it. All I can say is thank you, I enjoyed it all. This was my first time doing this so next year I'm really looking forward to doing it again now that I really know what it is all about. Thanks again.

Merry Christmas!!

[+OverTheEdge]

UNCLE!!

 

OK, Ok, I'm weak... I have received both of my Secret Santa packages. I couldn't wait, so I opened one!!

 

Wow - what an AWESOME suprise! My Secret Santa REALLY did their homework. Not only did I get a colorful 07 Midwest Geobash coin, but there was a travel gnome, a "cache in trash out" geocoin, AND a Texas Mcdoodles coin (yep, my home state - where I was born)... I had never seen the Texas coin before - but it was AWESOME!... Not to mention the very nice perfumed soap.

 

Just when I thought this was awesome - I opened another package that was included, and laughed myself silly... there were THREE frig magnet LEGO figures!!! Someone did quite a bit of research on me (and there I was thinking that there wasn't much information about me on the internet!!!). What a great job! My heartfelt THANKS to my Secret Santa! You're awesome! You made my day! Sorry I couldn't wait until Christmas - but "what the heck!!"... Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was above and beyond! You're the best and made my day/week!! By-the-way, the Legos are now proudly displayed on my frig!!!

 

My geocoin collection is growing, and all of these coins are very valued in my collection. Thank you so much!

 

 

I wonder how long I can hold out before opening the other mission?? Thank you SO MUCH!

OverTheEdge!!

You guys are just too generous This round of "Secret Missions" I decided to put in the Junior Chelmo's for a couple each, and I can honestly say they thought all their Christmas' had come at once

 

 

In this mission they recieved an individual parcel each Inside each was a heap of individually wrapped small packages

 

 

Which they both promptly "Cracked" in to

 

 

As you can see there was a heap of other "Goodies" for them in addition to the handfull of coins each

 

 

And there are some items I couldn't lay my hands on when I took this photo! As you can see the coins recieved in this secret mission included 2 of Happy Holidays set, Not another micro, Cache-Aid Kit, Morpho Butterfly, Do unto others, Oak Xmas coin, HappyTrails Micros and a LoriDarlin v2 THANKYOU

 

In the other mission was another perfect selection of coins for the kids Inside the box was a velvet pouch each cointaining a selection of coins each, for Thomas a Neon Cacher car, Cachesaurus and a very very cool Geo Nerd (Clamm 31 ), for Brittany a "Watch Out for Me" Skunk coin, Good/Bad Karma and The Cutest ever Clamm Path Tag As well as a few other goodies (Camo Teddy, Duck and Lanyard, plus a Dorkfish patch)

 

 

On behalf of the kids, thanks for an awesome start to the Christmas Break and again showing how great everyone in this community is Thank you Mike & Lisa, and Lori All the best for the holidays to you and your families, from us here in Little ol' KiwiLand
