Damn, gonna have to wait another 5 months (hopefully) for #MWSecretSantaAoNZ to resume pre/post-gifting sleuthing & joy checking.
#SecretSantaAoNZ
Yippeeeee, my giftee seems to have really liked their gifts! I'd wanted to take on a big project like the one I did for #mwsecretsantaaonz, but time was not my friend. So instead, I had to gather a selection of goodies (incl one small handmade gift) so I'm thrilled they're happy ❤️❤️❤️ #secretsantaaonz
I cheated - I looked at your #MWSecretSantaAoNZ hints!
And you, Cattangle 5% Battery @earfull.bsky.social are far too modest
The generosity, charity, thoughtfulness & talent of your gifts midwinter made my eyes leak 🥲🙏😻

Oooh this is cool! Just to say that I'm so glad I got you for #mwsecretsantaaonz - I still haven't made anything cooler than your wētāpunga. Really pleased with my giftee for #secretsantaaonz - hope you are too?
FWIW, regarding #SecretSantaAoNZ -- other than the fact that I get to open my gift on time this round (YAY!) -- my hints from #MWSecretSantaAoNZ are still relevant, and I do still need an earring display thing. Also wouldn't mind fluffy pj pants (size medium). (Only need one gift though!)
I hadn’t check the #MWSecretSantaAoNZ feed for over a month. There are quite a few posts of people using their gifts. So fun! @foxylustygrover.bsky.social @witchnwords.bsky.social @orthanc.nz @eloquentsonia.bsky.social @ninjakitty.bsky.social

I'm struggling a lot around foods and what I can and can't have with being forced to be more Gluten and Dairy Free (Bless the lactase pills).
The hell my body is going through when I get it wrong is just ruining me at the moment.

Update for my Santa: I bought this book with the Unity Books gift voucher. Thank you again! 😀

The world is falling apart....but I realised tomorrow is the 23rd any my giftee may finally unwrap my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ gift 🤞🤞🤞🤞tomorrow.
Had a wonderful roast dinner, apple pie dessert, & movie catch-up with @bereccanz.bsky.social last night. She regaled me with tales of #MWSecretSantaAoNZ and I am sooo bummed I wasn’t involved. In that, my Bluesky app undownloaded. And I forgot about it. Adored participating in ye ole Twitter NZSS.
Whoa, Santa! The self-warming eye mask! 😀 What a marvel of engineering. Talk about an experience!

Hey my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ
Just letting you know that I sent you a blessing and I sipped my lovely tea, served on my lovely tray.
The savoury snacks are consumed but the sweeter ones I'm saving for after my surgery on the 7th

Cookies have been tested and were excellent #MWSecretSantaAoNZ coffee was also had and much appreciated

I’ll definitely try to remember that #MWsecretSantaAoNZ site.
Some really fun stuff there!
Also, for some warm fuzzy stuff look at #MWsecretSantaAoNZ and you’ll see 100s of people receiving small gifts from others on Aotearoa BlueSky.
It’s wonderful

Thank you again for my lovely earrings! I received many compliments on them today.
Time to don the toasty #MWSecretSantaAoNZ beauties 💕
It's a 4 storytime day!
And 6°C this morning, so my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ arm warmers came in very useful!
#Librarianfashion
Burgundy knitted arm warmers with a paisley cardigan in burgundy and orange.
#MWSecretSantaAoNZ it's 6°C outside, so it's a perfect time to break out my arm warmers.
Bonus, they match today's outfit!

Using your gift everyday. Thanks Santa. Love the colours.

Back in the Big House after the recess for Fieldays. The cute-as Lego mini-me gifted to me by my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ Secret Santa is cheering me up and helping me to keep on slogging away. 😁

And the wētāpunga you've likely already seen thanks to #mwsecretsantaaonz!

Completed 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of "Aristodog"
Completed! Thanks again to my #mwsecretsantaaonz. I'll now take a walk to my local SPCA Op Shop to give them this one and spend $6 for another. Jigsaw puzzles are the gifts that keep on giving all year for op shops.
