Elf Celeste got a call in the office on Wednesday from a frazzled donor with a nearly-impossible request. Could we please retrieve from the Elves Workshop (filled with more than 30,000 gifts at this point) the diamond necklace and earring set for her daughter that was accidentally included with her company's shipment of donated gifts a couple days prior?
A tiny white box you say? Somewhere in our 100,000 square foot space? Please see picture above, taken on Saturday.
In what is now known as Holiday Miracle #2 (#1 was finding a warehouse in the first place), WE FOUND IT! One of our amazing volunteers approached Elf Nana about a very nice gift, obviously over the $30 limit, that she was about to wrap for a child. She asked "Do you think these diamonds are real?"...and in an instant Nana had run back to the office in tears, box in hand, screaming "I found them!".
Needless to say, our frazzled donor (and all the Elves on the hunt) were relieved!
