MSS Day4: Something Electrifying and Controversial!

My Secret Santa today isn't secret at all. :) Oh well, she keeps on denying it but I know for sure, she's the one.

When I opened my gift, I didn't say anything aside from 'Thank you!' then she was like 'May resibo po yan - 7 days warranty!'

We all teased her and reminded her of the 'Secret Santa' award on our Christmas party.  After realizing that she's losing the bid for the award, she explained (on a very defensive manner) that she was just telling me that the item (gift that I have received) has a warranty period of 7 days like every other item of its kind.  Good excuse.  But she went on to say where she bought it!

There, gotcha!

Okay, enough about the giver, let's talk about the gift.
Can somebody please tell me how did this became ELECTRIFYING and CONTROVERSIAL?

It's a doughnut-shaped (at least the upper portion) mini desk fan.  It's really cute and I'm sure, it's way too expensive than the agreed amount of gifts.

So, even though I can't think of ways to explain how did this gift fell into the category/theme, I'm still thankful.  And I really wouldn't care about the theme!

Thank you so much, [RESSIE]!

MSS Day 3: What's Sweet 'n Sour But Cannot Be Eaten?

The third edition of our 2013 kris kringle requires the gift to be: Sweet and Sour but CANNOT be eaten! Looking for such a gift needs great imagination.  And imagination, indeed!

Here's what I got.
Taadaaa!

For those who want to know what that is, well, it's a stuffed mango-shaped toy.  Since it's a 'mango', it can be sweet/sour (depending on the type of mango) and of course, I won't be able to eat this - because it's a toy!

Talk about being creative, imaginative, exceptional!

I got the coolest gift ever!
Whoever that Secret Santa is, thank you so much!

My Secret Santa Day 2

Look!

This is what I got from my Secret Santa for October 15, 2013.  By the way, we exchanged gifts just today, October 17, since we were not able to find a common time yesterday and October 15 was declared as a holiday (I was not in the office*wink*)!

The theme for this gift giving is : Round and Small.

Whoever that Secret Santa is

THANK YOU!

My Secret Santa

Christmas is definitely in the air.  I am so excited about it and so are my girls!
In fact, very excited that we started the Kris Kringle earlier.  By earlier I mean, this September. :)

To keep the fun and excitement, we will only do it for six days - Sept. 30, Oct. 15, Oct. 30, Nov. 15, Nov. 30 and the ultimate gift would be given on our Christmas party.

Oh, here's the twist: aside from the themed gift, a different Secret Santa will be assigned to each of us on each of the six days.

Are we going to implement the 'No Repeat' rule?
Hmmm.  We haven't talked about that.
We'll see. :)

Anyway, here's what I got from my September 30 Secret Santa

The theme:  LONG AND SOFT.
It's really long. I just folded it to fit in the frame :).  What you see is only 1/4 of the actual length.

Whoever that Secret Santa is,

THANK YOU!
