I enjoyed myself by late #SecretSantaNZ opening, opting WFH (who actually wants to WFW on a Friday these days anyways), and now the 25min timer starts.
This & Mon/Tues are gonna be the slowest days of the year.
I can’t believe I missed #SecretSantaNZ this year completely. Like completely oblivious until right now. Dammit
Bonus side benefit from joining/watching #SecretSantaNZ: many new people to follow!
Nothing like knowing who joins in sending random thoughtful gifts to strangers to find your tribe. (Who knew there were so many crafty, book loving, politics geeks in AoNZ anyway?!)
Three opened Xmas presents in a pile - first, three metal crochet hooks in 4, 6, and 8mm; a block of whittakers dark ghana chocolate; a paint by numbers with an image of a kea in flight showing off its slightly iridescent blue and green wing feathers
Ty #secretsantanz! Especially since I actually broke one of my plastic crochet hooks recently... oops
Awkward image i know but the neighbour's cat came to hide from the rain on my lap
Omg Santa! Thank you. I will not open until the 17th, as you stated. It smells good! I am so curious.
Thank you!!
#secretsantanz
For those playing along, there’s someone on FB selling these 👀😂 #SecretSantaNZ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment
So happy we're back at #SecretSantaNZ - my summer highlight on the web! The legit stalking! ❤️
So hey, if you were to need like the nichest earrings for your new favourite online stalkee, please hit me up!
Perhaps it is #SecretSantaNZ!
Thanks. I'm trying to be gentle with myself. Popping my head back up and I'll see how it goes. Also hoping for #SecretSantaNZ soon ?
Cheers #secretsantanz I have found a lovely home for the painted rock. I can now see it from the lounge. Much appreciated
A photograph of a red wax seal, with an impression of an ink well and a quill inside a circle in it. Unfortunately the wax seal itself is not a neat circle, and the wax is not a nice red colour, with some soot smears in it. It sits across the seal line of an envelope (not perfectly centred either).
Back on the hellsite, I was a big fan of #NZSecretSanta (later brought back to life as #SecretSantaNZ by the wonderful @foxylustygrover.bsky.social ) - and one of the final gifts I got before shutdown was a wax seal kit.

Dearest #secretsantanz, thank you so much for your kind generosity! That was such a thoughtful collection of gifts, and I'm wearing both shrug and socks as I type! Your daughter is a genius, I love the colours, and it's the perfect size, too. ❤️ That absolutely made my... season! Surprisingly warm!
Can’t thank my #secretsantanz enough. Ugly crying for their generosity and kindness ❤️❤️❤️
I'm very slow on the #secretsantanz this year! Get your shit together and do the cool thing, human. You haz skills, use them for the force of good.
#SecretSantaNZ peeps, I have been remiss in promoting a friend who creates lovely unique resin art (based in Tāmaki, but has a stockist in Ōtepoti): www.pacifictonesnz.com
So #SecretSantaNZ I really like coffee, I watch SVU and I like helping people. I would be happy if a donation was made to the current fundraiser on my pin post but I do like coffee and anything related. I'm a sucker for chocolate if that's any help too.

Didn't "we" all do the year that New Zealand Post pulled out of #SecretSantaNZ, and before @foxylustygrover.bsky.social and the rest of the @secretsanta.nz team stepped in?

Sadly clearing out everything on the other place before it gets even more feral & encountering names of much-loved tweeps now gone, hashtags of hilarity like #DuvetKnowItsChristmas & all of the #SecretSantaNZ shenanigans 🥺😢😭💔💜
Really want a #SecretSantaNZ to brighten things up around here.
