** UPDATED POST 30 December: I got my present today - the complete works of Paulo Coelho in a gorgeous boxed set. I love his work and only had one of his books. My SS has given me a wonderful gift. Thankyou :)

Oh, and the nerf wars are in full swing. Friends have even gone out to buy guns to have full-scale nerf wars. This has been such a positive experience for my girls and me. Thanks so much SS and redditgifts for this fantastic opportunity to partake in holiday cheer!

ORIGINAL POST: My SS asked for my email last night, so I assumed s/he was sending me some instructions for my as-yet unreceived gift. But no, this generous SS sent me a gift card for Toysrus here in Australia so I could buy something for my kids! And, to top it off, I am also getting something for me! I have no idea what that will be, but I know my kids are going to love the trampoline I will be buying today for their Christmas present! Thank you so much SS. You rock :)(UPDATED: turns out you can't get trampolines online - see below for explanation of what I got them instead... P.S. no photo yet as my gift is in an email but when I buy the present I will post pics...
