Box arrived!! I love how you used my user name on here.

I have chosen 3 items, not out of greed, more I was forced. I chose one, the pumpkin pie. But my teenager, I mean 2 year old, screamed in delight at the wind chime and will not out the nessie toy down. I told her to choose one and she said both.......And I am not giving up the pumpkin pie. So thank you all who contributed. I'll get my contributions in and send it off early next week.

I have long suspected I'm a toddler in grown-up skin, and this just confirms it. I  really really really wanted that wind chime, but I already had several things I needed, and I got my sparkly play-doh on top of that (a freebie, I know, but still...).  That Nessie is so cute, but he wasn't in the box when I had it.  If he had been, he wouldn't have remained in the box after I had it!  :P

Twice I've chosen Scotland themed items. Chose the shot glass last time around. I opened the box while hubby was at the gym, he is mad cause he would have chosen something else, and he is trying to convince me to put the wind chime back and choose his item. Is that even legal in this game?? Can I change once I took photos?? I won't give it away, but if you live in Dorset you've caused a rift between what the hubby wants and what the baby wants

You can do whatever you want!  :)

The box could probably stand for you taking all four items.  I'm not sure what it weighs now, or how bulky it is (now that the poop emoji bowl, the body wash, and the pumpkin filling are taken out, but who-knows-what put in), but you could probably take one more thing in the interest of lightening the shipping weight.  ;)  Or if you feel bad about it, just add another thing in to make up for your husband's choice.  I like when family are included in the game.  :)

Well, what he wants is the bulkiest Item. I'll more than likely take it out and add 4 items to it. There aren't any really heavy stuff left.

I look forward to seeing what it is!  And I'm glad this game is fun for whole families.  I don't know why it's so awesome, but when jimbocz first proposed it, I was immediately excited by it.  It's made everybody here so much more real, too.  Yay!  :)

You didn't put your real name in the message so I had no choice!

I also seriously considered the wind chimes :).

And the bulky things from Dorset you're considering... I put them in! They almost didn't fit, so I think if you wanted to take 4 things, the box would survive. It's not like there isn't enough great stuff!

I'm so happy that the wind chimes are finally getting some love!  ;)

When I first joined UKY we used to do a Secret Santa. It stopped because the person who used to run it doesn't post anymore. Maybe the pass-the-parcel group could revive it?
