The Secret Is Out... Secret Santa That Is

Remember this post a few weeks ago about T.J. Maxx and the Secret Santa Swap? I sure remember. I remember having so much fun shopping for a gift for my swap partner who I knew nothing about!

Well, I got a gift too! Kimberly from She Scribes sent me a package and I was blown away when I opened it up. She sent 3 things individually wrapped, so I had gifts to open before Christmas! Yay! {What? You didn't really think I would wait until Christmas to open them, did you?} You can see 2 of those gift pictured below, but unfortunately the other gift got eaten. I say unfortunately because it wasn't by me! My Lil Man just couldn't get enough of those delicious chocolate truffles!

Anyway, the other 2 gifts were a candle from Yankee Candle {one of my favorite candle companies} and a set of photo albums. Now these aren't just any ole photo album. The front of one of them has a saying on it. It's one of my absolute favorite sayings/quotes and I was so amazed when I opened up that gift and saw that saying. That gift was totally made for me, and I want to thank Kimberly from the bottom of my heart! She did a fantastic job picking out a Secret Santa Gift for me!

"Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away"

I also want to send a huge thank you to T.J. Maxx and Rocket XL for putting together this Santa Swap! It was a ton of fun and it's always a blast to work with them!

I was given gift cards to go shopping with for myself and my swap partner. Opinions expressed are my own or my families and are not influenced by any form of compensation. Take it or leave it. Click here to view my full acknowledgment policy.

Great package... love the photo album - that is one of MY favorite sayings also. You are right, Kimberly did a fantastic job.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. I appreciate it a lot. You were so kind to do this.

I'm glad you liked what I got you. I wish it could have been more. I live outside NYC and $$$ doesn't go as far here as it might in other places. I spent about an hour and a half in the store trying to find something. Nothing really jumped out at me until I found the photo albums. I love that saying too!

Please enjoy them.

Happy (belated) Holidays and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!
