My DPF Secret Santa box arrived as we were finishing lunch, so we quickly shoveled the bags of doll parts aside and the unwrapping began! :) The box was big and when the postman left it in the foyer, we were expecting a delivery of cat food! Well . . . this was way more exciting! (To the humans, anyway . . . not sure Oliver and Henry really think this is as good as a tin of fish food . . . )
Everything was wrapped in very nice gold paper!

Some fun stickers and a note (on the back of a colour-your-own Small World card) saying that my Secret Santa was - surprise - coblj003! He said how fun it had been playing Tina's game together and getting to know someone with similar interests and even identical twins! :) Also said that I had probably guessed that he was my Secret Santa. Well, I certainly did not guess! -grin- Of course, now that I have opened the packages . . . I can see how he might have thought I would have guessed, but I wouldn't have even if the prep time had gone another month! This was so amazingly exciting!
First off was a really cool set of ornaments for Sis and Me . . . matching Mickey and Minnie! And the boxes were taped together to be a twin present! We LOVE them!
Then came a fabulous sketch book and mini drawing set . . . Sis quickly spotted the the pages are perfed and wonders if Jim is giving the hint that he wants some artwork Zaps to start going out. ;)
Next, was a really cool rectangular box . . . tear off the paper and it was a box of face masks! So thoughtful! We thought this was an amazingly thoughtful and fun present for the time we are living in!

But, WAIT! . . . Something wasn't quite right when I opened it! OK . . . so I practically squealed!
It is the FUNKO Kevin!!!!!!! (Really wish there was a bouncy Kevin emoticon here!) I can't believe it! So, that was the meaning of your comment on my Kevin Funko Wanted thread! This means both you and Ksnuggles have totally steered me in the wrong direction! Very sly of you! This was so amazing! He is sitting here on my desk right now watching me type this! Can't say thanks enough!
So, I sat there, and told the others that I'd have been happy if the box had just had these presents! But . . . since there were other packages to open . . . I'd reserve my final opinion . . .
So, a little flat package was chosen next. Pins! And so amazing! Some for me and some for Sis! So thoughtful! Wait . . . Pins! And amazing pins! And an amazing hip lanyard! (That is something I can't wait to wear next time we get to go trading!) All of a sudden . . . another thing that Jim probably thought was an obvious clue . . . the Kevin pins from Haunted's game! I can't beleive how much nicer the Kevin with the eggs pin looks than in pictures! It has glitter in the background! And the Kevin egg . . . Oh, boy! And to top that (I'd have been over the moon with just the Kevin pins, believe me!) there was a Hawkeye pin (Amazing and I've never seen this one before!) for my Robin Hood/Archery collection, and an Amazing PRince Adam pin for Sis . . . and a Small World Hawaiian boy pin for Sis that is totally tops! Also, it is signed! We've never seen a signed pin before, so this is a double exciting thing!

To add to the pins, the next package was a Frozen II lanyard with two pins and pack with four pins! These are amazing! I've not seen these before, and you can be sure they are going to go right up on our new Frozen board (which we hope to work on this week, as Dad hung it up for us now!)! All cool pins . . . but there is the little fire salamander! Eeekkkk! So adorable! I was really wishing for a Frozen II Salamader pin. <3
Another package (!) and another fabulous "twin" present . . . the coolest Art prints of Elsa and Anna! These are amazingly beautiful and cool! So fabulous! Sis and I are in raptures!
Then a really, really cool reusable travel cup that has the cutest Baby Yoda on it! Protect. Attack. Take Naps. (Bouncy Baby Yoda)
Last package (certainly not least, and certainly not "last" in a bad sense!) was a large box and turned out to be a -gasp- Funko of the Frozen II Water Horse! Amazingly beautiful! I got the Funko Elsa at Disney Springs in January, and she is going to be perfect standing right in front of the Water Horse!
Here is a picture of every last wonderful thing! Click the thumbnails underneath the large picture to see other photos!

Thanks ever so very much to coblj003 for really sending us a box full of massive sunshine! Really can't tell you how many happiness points your box brought to us here! This is one of the best surprise boxes we've ever received! And that Kevin Funko and pins! That is so funny! And I never had an inkling! :LOL:
Now that I've probably overwhelmed all the readers with the overuse of exclamation points . . . go look a the photos again! -grin-
Thanks for a fabulous Christmas-In-July!
