One Last Christmas Gift


Remember how I mentioned that I was part of a Secret Santa swap sponsored by jcpenney? Well, I never got to show you what I ended up getting from my Secret Santa. As it turned out, my gift was on backorder and I just got it this past week. Actually, it was kind of fun getting a gift after the holidays. That doesn't happen very often!


Those of us involved with the swap were allowed to give hints as to what we might like to receive as a gift. With all of the cooking I do, I fly through pans. So, when I saw this big Paula Deen skillet with lid, I promptly put it on my wish list. You just can't have enough large pans when you have a big family.


Since its arrival, I've used it every night. Meatballs, chicken stir fry, a big pot of scrambled eggs. It's a very useful pan. We are becoming quite close.

When I scanned the QR code, I found out that Laura from Better In Bulk was my Secret Santa! What a fun way to meet another blogger. I really think the whole QR code thing is quite clever. I scanned the code with my phone, and up popped Laura's voice with a cheery holiday message! It's a great way to personalize a gift without wasting money on a card. Don't you think?

Thanks to Laura and jcpenney for my fabulous gift. I had a lot of fun participating in the swap, and I'm really happy with my present. It will certainly get a lot of use in this house!

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of jcpenney and receive a jcpenney Secret Santa gift and a promotional item to thank me for participating. All opinions are my own.

SO glad to "meet" you too through the exchange! Aren't kitchen tools and gadgets so much fun to get? I am the same way when I get a new pot, pan, or small appliance - I end up using them every night for a while.
