kladderkatje
...as mentioned in my previous blog about Saint Nicholas day's traditions. (Some of you may remember last year, when I made a Big Tit.)
We're celebrating a week late this year, because some in our group are celebrating with family on the proper date; but never mind that, it's still fun.
Here are the 'surpreezes' (phonetic spelling invented by [info]yokospungeon ) I made this year. There are small gifts hidden inside, and each one has a little poem attached.
surprise!

The polystyrene mouse contains a packet of sparklers, that'll come out when you pull the tail. It's not that weird of a gift because I know the giftee loves them.
The zebra is a plant watering can, wrapped in zebra patterned paper with some extras taped on, and there won't be much left of it when it's unwrapped; that's why it's nice to have a picture!
The cardboard saw is marked  'eyebrow saw', and has a poem to explain that the receipient is getting a handy tool to prune her husbands very bushy eyebrows; inside is a tiny pair of scissors (which was on her wish list). Making fun of people is part of the tradtion; Saint Nick can be humourous or gently teasing, he's never really mean though.
[info]stoneshop  made a surpreeze for which the receipient will need an angle grinder to open. There was welding involved.
*rubs hands in glee* This should be fun!
