Secret Santa

Secret Santa Gifts

So you know how if you work at an office or go to school you get to do fun and festive things around the holidays like parties and gift exchanges? Well, working at home by yourself as a blogger could be rather lonely.

So, Stefanie of Brooklyn Limestone decided to invite a few bloggers to do a Secret Santa with her this year — and I am participating because I thought it would be a lot of fun! I haven’t done a Secret Santa for years!

For our Secret Santa, the gifts can be store bought or handmade, and there was no dollar limit. We are just having fun with this! And for added fun, we are going to let you all see some of the gifts via our blogs and maybe you can help us guess who our Secret Santas are, OK? Plus I bet you’ll get a few great gift ideas along the way too.

Here is how it works, we are each going to get and send two gifts in the mail!

I received my first gift in the mail this weekend and I think it is such a cute gift idea!

A mason jar full of super cute decorative tapes, ribbons and gift tags? LOVE THEM! YES! Now I’m ready to wrap!

Genius, and adorable. Any idea who might have sent it?
