Wrapping Up Another Secret Santa Gift Exchange 🎁

Submitted to What's New

It’s no secret - our community loves a good gift exchange! Our third annual Secret Santa gift exchange took place over the holidays, and we think the reveals deserve a recap


️@SchreiberWI, received a gift from @Taradeliberto

"I received my package and when I opened it I was overwhelmed with emotion. As I took the creations out I was in awe of the thought that went into the special package. The Wisconsin creations had such a personalized touch. Then I pulled out this amazing ornament. It was a cute holiday scene that includes Minnie Mouse, to think that someone put so much time and thought into something actually had me tearing up. I am beyond thankful!!!

Tara's thoughtfulness is a gift I will always treasure. She has really made my holiday season quite magical. I love everything, especially the Minnie ornament!"

“I received my secret Santa gifts and they are adorable! I also got a garland full of candy canes, but my kids got to them before I could snap a photo. Thank you!


@Chunky Mermaid received a gift from @Vimarhonor

"I'm truly blown away by the handmade gifts I received from Karen!! She gets who I am and what I love ~ and I love everything that she sent me! I'm truly blessed that I now have an original Karen painting of a mermaid (I have a thing for mermaids).

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Karen, and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!!! Hugs from Dan, Brindle, and Myself"

We know that not everyone who sent out a special parcel received a gift, despite our best efforts to clearly communicate how it all works to members who signed up [and rest-assured we’re in contact with Santa for next year’s naughty list πŸ˜‰]. Thanks to all of the creators who took part in this activity and shared teasers of the gifts in progress and the treasures received πŸ’ Your efforts truly make our community the happiest place on the the internet!
