Three of them are bigger ticket items, the others are nearly trinket-like. I won&#8217;t tell you what they are, just in case B-R-C figures out how to get to my journal!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well now that Hanukkah is here, I can spill the beans. (It is Day 6, and I&#8217;ll update this and redate it later&#8230;)<\/p>\n<ul><b>What I got her:<\/b><\/p>\n<li>Day 1 (Dec. 15th): A &#8220;Noah&#8217;s Ark&#8221; Menorah. She collects &#8220;Noah&#8217;s Ark&#8221; related things, and she collects menorahs, so this was the perfect gift for her. I had to give it to her on the first night so we could use it during the holidays!<\/li>\n<li>Day 2 (Dec. 16th): A Second Cup Cafe Card, preloaded with some money so she&#8217;ll always be able to get her Chai Lattes.<\/li>\n<li>Day 3 (Dec. 17th): A glass &#8220;Artist&#8217;s Palette&#8221; serving plate, with five coloured glass dishes. It&#8217;s the perfect thing for the artist who likes to entertain guests.<\/li>\n<li>Day 4 (Dec. 18th): A &#8220;Chocolate&#8221; Calendar and a deck of heart-shaped playing cards.<\/li>\n<li>Day 5 (Dec. 19th): A &#8220;Nightmare Before Christmas&#8221; Wooden Desk Organizer. The third big gift was a complete surprise since I bought it the day after she admired it just before her birthday in November. She absolutely loves Skeleton Jack!<\/li>\n<li>Day 6 (Dec. 20th): A bottle of mixed nuts in maple syrup. I hope she&#8217;ll share it with me so I can put it on my ice cream!<\/li>\n<li>Day 7 (Dec. 21st): <\/li>\n<li>Day 8 (Dec. 22nd): <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul><b>What she got me:<\/b><\/p>\n<li>Day 1 (Dec. 15th): A basket containing a &#8220;Tazo&#8221; teapot and collection of teas. And &#8220;from Karma,&#8221; a magnet for the fridge: one end says &#8220;Dog&#8217;s Hungry&#8221; and the other says &#8220;Dog&#8217;s Fed.&#8221; That way we&#8217;ll be able to know (theoretically) when it&#8217;s dinner time for doggie.<\/li>\n<li>Day 2 (Dec. 16th): A copy of &#8220;Marley &#038; Me: Life And Love With The World&#8217;s Worst Dog&#8221; by John Grogan. My Mom was talking about this book when we visited them two weeks ago. On Friday night, she gave us a copy! B-R-C already had it for my present&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Day 3 (Dec. 17th): A &#8220;Moo Mixer,&#8221; a cup with a cow motif and a built-in mixing device.<\/li>\n<li>Day 4 (Dec. 18th): A &#8220;Teapot&#8221; Night Light. We&#8217;ve been admiring these for a couple of years.<\/li>\n<li>Day 5 (Dec. 19th): A &#8220;Mad Hatter&#8221; Note Book.<\/li>\n<li>Day 6 (Dec. 20th): A kit of Burt&#8217;s Bees stuff for travel or camping. And &#8220;from Karma,&#8221; a bird-call device, &#8220;so we can go bird chasing together.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Day 7 (Dec. 21st): <\/li>\n<li>Day 8 (Dec. 22nd): <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I said before, &#8220;So far, I have six of B-R-C&#8217;s Hanukkah presents.
