Oh my goodness! Gifts at the door!!

[Featheredsamurai]

I came home from a very busy day at work, and there was a box addressed to me!!! I was soooo excited to get it open and see the treasures hiding inside Whoever sent this thankyou so so so so much! Your AMAZING. It's so cool to see what toys other parronts like, you've introduced me to some awesome new styles of toys.

And that swing is EPIC, I'm not sure were I'm going to put it yet but I know Kenji's going to LOVE it!

There's a awesome bottle cap/staw toy(Kenji loves it!), a amazing swing, a foraging bawl I have actually been eyeing forever, nutriberries which both Kenji and Rosie LOVE. They'll be perfect for the foraging toy too! A awesome GIANT wiffle bawl covered in wood chunks wrapped in paper and full of leather tied in knots, and a very cool toy with plastic pieces and a roll of paper on it(I expect this one to be very popular).

Kenji checking out the bottle cap/straw toy

Right when I took it out Rosie was eyeing this awesome toy, so she gets to tear up the paper some and when she's finished Kenji gets the wood and wiffle ball(Rosie doesn't chew wood)

To whoever sent me these wonderful things, I can't say thankyou enough :heart: Excited to find out who sent them

Sure your birds are going to have hours of fun

 

[GaryBV]

WOW how nice - I missed all of this and wasn't aware that there was a gift exchange, so I feel bad about that - I'd of loved to have sent something to someone, and hey, it woudn't be bad to get something either lol. I love how your birds are going right at them

 

[cassiepengo]

[crimson]

very nice!...love the swing

there's nothing like a new toy for our fids

 

[Mayden]

Ohhh, you got a nice package! Those toys look awesome. I'm jealous!

 

[GinaF]

I sent them
In fact, the card that was supposed to go in the box is sitting on my desk. Oops!

The foraging ball is modified. It came as just a plain ball but I added the chain and a fun bell to it. My birds LOVE this thing! And since it won their seal of approval, I figured Kenji needed one too!

I bought the bottle cap toy and the nutriberries from a local store.
The rest I made for you

You can restring the wiffle ball once it's been dismantled. Just wrap the wood chunks in paper. If you need more supplies for this, let me know. I have TONS!

Glad you liked it

 

[Terry57]

[mrgoogls]

LOL, did you remember the moment it was sent off That the letter was left behind haha

Wow! That's incredible that you made some of these toys, they look so perfect! I love that you added a chain to the foraging ball, I probably would have if it didn't come with one :heart:

You're so talented Gina, my homemade toys look terrible compared to yours hahaha

I am unable to thank you enough :heart:

 

[GinaF]

I figured it out when I got back home and saw it laying there. I was going to pm you, but I figured it would be more fun to see if you figured it out on your own

I felt bad that I was a little late sending it out but I'd been waiting for the foraging ball to get here. And then it took me a few days to find a minute to finish the swing. (they like to untie the knots on the ends of the leather lacing - which I also had to cut)

 

[GaryBV]

Could someone please direct me (and Cassie - and anybody else who was not aware of a gift exchange) to where the information is? I'm guessing it's too late for this year, but I would like involved it in next year. I generally only look at the 'new posts' tab so I can easily see how I miss stuff like this.

 

[GinaF]

Gary.

I'm the one who put together and organized the gift exchange. It's not really something that was endorsed by the forum but rather done privately. Since this one was so successful and so much fun, I'll probably do it again some time after the holidays are over. As long as the mods approve, I'll post a notification that I'm doing it again and those interested can email me privately to join.

 

[GaryBV]

Thank you Gina, that's fair enough. I'm sure you can see how it could be confusing to all of a sudden see these 'gift exchange' threads popping up, complete with pictures lol, and never having seen anything about it, but at least now I understand. Thank you so much for responding

How exciting! You have a secret Santa! Awesome!
