R2R 2024 Secret Santa gift thread

Buc-ee's is the best! Haha, figured those overbites might curb your sweet tooth. The fossils are from some of my digs in Peace River when I lived in FL. I'm sure you probably recognize them, but in case you don't, there's a horse tooth, gator scute and what I believe is a great white, but I couldn't tell with the serrations. Also, wasn't sure if that Inkbird was the correct one. It says 'reptile' and I don't know them well enough to know if it matters lol, so please let me know if it's wrong and I'll take care of it! Merry Christmas!!!

The 306A is correct based on my research. I tried the 308 but it wasn’t what I needed. The 306A seemed to have what I needed.

Those fossils threw me through a loop for a minute. At first I misread it as “pecan river” so I was sitting there think they’re some type of chocolate but then I opened it (and reread it) and was like ohh cool!

Got my gift early but didn't get a chance to post until just now. My secret Santa picked the perfect gift, exactly what I needed!! We have moved twice this year and I had just finished setting up my tank when my gift came. I was missing my old school magnetic frag rock that one of the guys on here used to make. While I can no longer find those, my secret Santa sent me the Reefing Art version and it's pretty awesome! Thanks so much @CrashTestBennie!! Absolutely perfect timing!! I lost most of my coral during the move, so I'm hoping to fill this in with zoas!

You are so very welcome! I'm terribly sorry you lost so much, especially your beloved chalices. I'm thrilled you are enjoying the gift. It feels so good to see a response like yours when you gift someone something. It means a lot that you like it!

My Santa sent a letter with some cool clings for the tank! Even if this was my only gift I really like and appreciate them! Thanks Santa!

Absolutely gorgeous tank!

Looks like the remaining items are getting delivered today and tomorrow. I am an idiot and didn’t even think about just having it shipped to the member. Package should be out soon!

Santa did amazing! I'm incredibly grateful for what arrived at my doorstep yesterday. It made my day to open the box and see all the goodies inside!

I did message santa about that. It's being worked on

 

[Gumbies R Us]

It should be a Christmas light badge or one that has a Santa r2r fish on it

So my Santa was a tease all week talking about how he was having peppermints with out me. Well low and behold, Santa delivered early, and dropped this off in my doorstep today. I was pleasantly surprised and my day was made with this Giant box of peppermint patties and a fish puzzle that I can hang above my tank.
This household is having a rough week as we are sadly losing the cancer fight with our Kitty and he is not going to make it to Christmas this year. So this helped to brighten my day. Thanks Kent!!

Got my packages as well. I'm going to see how long I can refrain from tearing them open. My record to date is 1 hr 23 minutes. Wish me luck.
