I'm horrified. I am the only "other". I gave some - but did not get any.
(I don't think that anyone i know thinks i need anymore.)

No tea gifts here, and I didn't ask for any. It's one area where I think that it is best to choose those things myself.

Tea related gifts were had, certainly. I gave a friend a tea for one set with some Wuyi Amber and Qi Zhong, and she gave me a glass teapot set with four matching cups and some blooming teas. And then my sister gave me a brew-in-mug.

Hm, and my birthday's in a few days... maybe I'll get some more tea stuff!

Sorry so late for posting, but the holiday was rather crazy for me... everyone wants to be a copycat, so 2 of my patients had to give birth in the wee hours of Christmas morning... one around 2am, and another around 3am. I had a good time joking with them... "Do you see a star? Does this look like a stable to you?" It was actually a joyous way to start the day. But the lack of sleep did make me a bit lethargic which is why I never logged into Teachat all day.

To answer the poll, I gave and received teagifts. My nephew's girlfriend got an ingenuitea and a box full of various sample tins from Adagio. My best friend got a tin of Tequila Sunrise signature blend. And I got several tea-related gifts including a tin of some kind of pear-flavored white tea from one of my docs... a beautiful orangish-red tetsubin (enamal-lined) with a matching coaster and a mesh infuser basket... and a Zoji!!! Which I am wayyyy excited to get.

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy HolTeadays to everyone.

***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***

I received numerous gifts, all hand-picked by me, but purchased by family and friends :!: I made it imperative that if my wishes were not followed explicitly, DON'T BOTHER IT WILL BE RETURNED :!: :!: :!:
So essentially, I guess you could say that I did get them myself :roll:

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas 8)
