I'm a loser and really forgot to give clues. I thought about it after everything shipped and I was like, "Ah, hell.." but I'm so glad you liked everything!

Thank you so much! Love the gifts and it was so sweet of you to include the books for Ben. I was hoping to do something like this for him but just haven't gotten the energy up to go to the bookstore to find something. Merry Christmas!

ashleywiz · December 2013

@kaitimac --YES

I figured at very least, my last clue would be the giveaway. Sorry I was antsy, I get paranoid about shipping.

Anyway, yay! I'm so glad you like everything! Merry Christmas!

edit because spelling is hard.

I received my Elfster gift on Friday but have been insanely busy with holiday crap (sorry to leave you hanging) but I got an amazing Corning Museum of Glass hand blown glass ornament, a super cute SkipHop alligator toy for the little guy and an Amazon gift card!

My clues were:

1) I live closer than you think (not that I'm stalking you!)--->LOL small world & stalking is ok as long as no pics are snapped

2)I love Wegmans and JIF peanut butter almost as much as my daughter ---->this was a dead giveaway clue for me!

3) Have a carseat question> Come as me! ---->Also a giveaway clue.

My very firm/certain guess is that my Elf was @Sugarland726. God I hope I am right and not just cocky!

Thank you so very much I love everything and it's so awesome how close you are! We definitely should have a baby meet & greet at Wegmans when they're here.

You are right @LuGal623! I am so glad you like everything. We'll definitely arrange a post baby meet up sometime. Maybe at the Lie-lock

Festival.

@peanutmuse I don't know if its on Elfster anyway, but can there be a reminder on here or on a new thread (?) about the "mail by" date for sending gifts to your elf?

@cpm1223 -- Yes, indeed. I will probably do a new thread/reminder either this evening or tomorrow morning -- after I update the list and kind of gauge where we're at. I've been mobile for the past several days, and it's easier for me to do all of that on my laptop. I am a mobile hater, haha.

HappyDoc · December 2013

I was so excited when I came home today and found my package from my Secret Elf waiting for me! Let me just say, she is awesome! I received a Travel Sealed Wet Bag, onesie month stickers for monthly pictures, a super cute pair of shea-infused lounge socks (which are going right into my hospital bag), a heart key topper, a horseshoe charm bracelet, anti-bacterial gel with a panda bear holder from B&BW (which is going to be attached to the baby bag, and three mini aromatherapy lotions from B&BW!

My clues were:
1) My pup Tucker will always be my 1st baby LOL
2) I love to use GIFs on the Bump
3) I couldn't move away from Wegmans.

I am pretty sure that @LuGal623 is my secret elf... am I right?

ScarlettDahlia · December 2013

When my MIL came over to watch me on Monday, she found my package from my secret elf on my front porch. I was so excited!

I got a vase, which I absolutely love and can't wait to put flowers in, a Sephora gift card (can't wait to use!) and two books for Elliott (which we definitely needed since his book collection had consisted of two books, lol).

Thank you secret elf! I love everything!

My clues were:

She's also a PGAL mama who is having her 3rd take home baby.

She's having a RCS and she loves Disney.

@esd, were you my secret elf?

PreDempsey · December 2013

@esd Yes I am!

Did you see the ghettoness where I had to cut out the return address? H made the label and I'm pretty sure something from "Josh Dempsey" would have been a dead give away.

That stinks about the pink eye!

Ninjafarmerswife · December 2013

I just got my awesome package from my elf. Super adorable striped raccoon onesie that matches the great reuseable coffee cup (filled with goodies) and a bag of yummy peppermint bark which is perfect timing since I sent my family off with the last of my treats today. My guess based on the clues she included is @kc101212, am I right?!

twobluelines · December 2013

I got two fantastically nerdy onesies from my lovely and talented elf @ccip82 !!! She used the most devious set of clues imaginable. ... her real name! Which meant I was able to quickly figure out the elusive identity through the Facebook group. Thank you so so so much @ccip82 !!! I love them. And there is no doubt that our little girl will be both Pu and the babe with the power! ! Love them!!

@ninjafarmerswife It is me! Glad you liked everything

ccip82 · December 2013

@twobluelines

I am so glad you liked the onesies

There is another package on it's way (should be there very soon!!). It has a gift for you and my clues...even though they will be a bit late now

OSUWifey09 · December 2013

I hope I don't get this wrong. Yikes.

My gift arrived over the Christmas holiday, but I didn't get my package until yesterday [because I'm a doof - long story]. I got the most adorable lunchbox and the most AMAZING Oklahoma State University onesie that has Mia's name on the back! She's totally wearing that in her hospital pictures.

My clues were:

1. I'm a Yankee, but I live in TN.

2. I'm a redhead.

3. I'm also Team Pink.

*Bonus clue: my SN rhymes with a famous McDonalds cheeseburger.

Is it you, @KaitiMac ... ???

LuGal623 · December 2013

@HappyDoc you're welcome and I'm glad you liked it!

@OSUWifey09 - You are correct! I'm so glad you like them

I LOVE them. You are so awesome - thank you so much!!

BabyHokie2014 · December 2013

I just received my gift today, and I'm so excited! My secret elf did such a great job!

My clues:

1. I am a FTM, team pink, from MI

2. I have 2 dogs - Australian shepherds

3. I always get complimented on how great my hair is

Bonus: I always try to post everyday

@elsutto2, are you my Secret elf? I'll admit, I was getting a little worried with the deadline fast approaching, but what a nice surprise after all the other Christmas gifts have already been unwrapped. Well worth the wait!

(picture to come from mobile in just a sec b/c my iCloud can't get it together today)

BabyHokie2014 · December 2013

(A Joann's gc is inside the beautiful card)

Yes I am!! So glad you like it

I'm so sorry about after sending them after Christmas! I totally planned on getting it there by Christmas Eve but everything got so chaotic after losing power for days before Christmas.

peanutmuse · December 2013

I have some messages from secret elves and recipients...

@ccip82 -- your elf will be sending your gift tomorrow. She tried to send it yesterday, but got to the post office too late.

@Dishylo -- your elf has been on bedrest and has been unable to finish one of her gifts for you. So she will be sending your package in early January and apologizes for the delay.

dland0201's secret elf -- she did receive one of your gifts and was planning on posting a pic. (I haven't checked today yet, so maybe she did?) But it looks like she's in labor now, so it might be a little bit. But she did receive something. Message me if you have any more questions.

peanutmuse · December 2013

I received my gifts yesterday!

Here's a pic of the gifts for the baby (a whale sleeper and a book):

And here are the gifts for me (a chevron print infinity scarf, a cinnamon/clove buds candle, Burt's Bees lip shimmer, and a beautiful pair of earrings):

I wore the scarf and the earrings last night.

My clues:
1) I am a STM and Team Green
2) I have a fondness for Indian food and Wegman's
3) As you can tell from my postmark, you and I live in a very similar region of the country.

I have to say, I actually made it through without having to reveal who my secret elf was. I was pretty proud of my restraint, lol. So my guess is 100% pure. I'm pretty darn sure it's @moosebaby2011.

Thanks for the update Peanut. And Secret Elf, whoever you are, rest up and happy early New Years!!

moosebaby2011 · December 2013

@peanutmuse: You are correct. I was your secret elf.

I'm glad you liked everything!

Thank you! I love everything, but I have to say -- the earrings are fantastic. Totally my style.

ashybear · December 2013

We returned from our Christmas travels yesterday, and I was so excited to get my secret elf gift! My secret elf gave me these beautiful earrings from a local jewelry maker and a sweet, nursery matching, set of mittens, onesie and blanket. Everything is just great, including her clues, so I am pretty positive that my wonderful secret elf is @vstevens. Thank you so much!!

Kc101212 · December 2013

I have one awesome elf! She sent an adorable board book and sweet pink bunny for our little girl and a great array of nail polishes and one of her favorite books for me! It totally made my day

Clues:

Team Blue due 1/3/14

From the Northeast

Her sn has her name in it

My guess is @sarahmarie2 ?!

FYI: I'm probably going to spend the rest of the evening painting each fingernail a different color to test out all the polishes. If I could reach my toes I'd paint those too!

sarahmarie2 · December 2013

@kc101202 It is me! I'm so glad you got it, I'm sorry it took so long! I'm glad you like everything, I have to admit I went back to buy one of those nail polish sets for myself because some of those colors looked so pretty but they were all gone. Enjoy!

You are right @ashybear - it was me

So glad you liked it! Happy holidays!

cpm1223 · December 2013

Ahhh my gift came today!!! I got an amazing throw that looks suuuuper comfy and warm, Burt's bees Chapstick (which I desperately need) and an adorable monkey toy for LO! My clues are: 1. I am team blue 2. Scheduled induction for 12/29 3. I love the movie gone with the wind, especially the main character. I can't for the life of me think of who my secret elf is, and my brain is fried from being sick, so please help me ladies!!

Shannahbee · December 2013

I was so excited to receive my Elfster gift today!! I got 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' for LO, and a super cute hat & scarf (which will match a bunch of my winter coats) for myself!

My three clues were:
1) I also live in Canada, in our keystone province
2) We are team green (which is also a hint for my TB name)
3) I really enjoy fruits and vegetables!

I'm going to hazard a guess that my secret elf is @thelittlepear from Manitoba

peanutmuse · December 2013

Hi ladies! Just in case I am sent to the hospital tomorrow, I wanted to let you know that I made my lovely labor buddy @mrsjenni an administrator for our elfster exchange. So she will now be able to help with any issues that might arise, although I don't think there should be any...

(I didn't think you would mind, mrsjenni -- I hope it's ok!)

cpm1223 · December 2013

BMReid said:

@cpm1223 -- I would guess @ScarlettDahlia ?

Thank you @BMReid ! @ScarlettDahlia are you my elf?

Perfectly fine! And you reminded me that I still need to mail my gift... I've only had it since December 3rd. Sheesh! I'm the worst elf ever!

ScarlettDahlia · December 2013

@cpm1223, I am! Hope the blanket is comfy! I was so close to buying one for myself too

bethughknee · December 2013

I received mine the day after Christmas and I took a picture and then the information FELL OUT OF MY BRAIN. I am so so so so sorry to my Elfster for not giving you credit when it was due!!!

I got:

- a 3-piece set from Carter's with a monkey on the butt. I just die at butt decals. :x

- foot scrub/soak and and an emery paddle for pedis. My feet thank you enormously!

- MAC lip glosses! THANK YOU! Wearing one for NYE tonight.

- Funky little fake tattoo earrings. Totally using these as soon as her little ears are big enough. What a unique little idea!

Clues were:

1. We have the same EDD

2. I'm awesome

3. I can't remember and now can't find the card. I. FAIL.

Anywho, my guess is @dishylo. I cheated and used the fact that the package was from Canada as a clue, too and I know you're also a Thursday Ticker! Is it you, dish??

Dishylo · January 2014

@bethughknee - yep it was me! I'm so glad you got it and everything is ok. I was worried that my in-laws got their Christmas goodies before my gift made it to the US!!! Merry Christmas and happy New Year lady!

@Shannahbee , you're right, it's me! So glad it go to you - and quicker than I thought too! Hope you enjoy it. Merry (belated) Christmas!

thelittlepear · January 2014

So, having been away for a few days, I checked the mail when I get home, and guess what wasi n there for me? And in the cutest Peanuts bubble envelope too!

I got a nursing cover that I love (good guess that I like the colour blue, and so crafty making it yourself!), and an amber necklace for LO (my friends all swear by these, we'll see if it works!)

My clues were:

1. This will be my second child - my first is a boy.

2. I live in PA.

3. My screen name has numbers in it.

So, after some deliberation (clue #3 seems like it should help, but it's amazing how many of you have numbers in your screen names!!), my guess is @bensmommy518 , are you my secret elf?

bensmommy518 · January 2014

@thelittlepear you are correct! I had fun being crafty and am glad you like the nursing cover. I also swear by the amber teething necklaces so when I saw that on your wishlist I knew I was getting it for sure. DS has his and I got another for this LO already. I hope you have as much luck with it as I have.

Shannahbee · January 2014

@thelittlepear Thanks so much! Love it all... I've already put the hat & scarf to good use, it's beyond cold here these days! Happy holidays to you & yours!
