Seansgirl and Daisybump both received goody packs of chocolates and baby things.

Its all very exciting, I'm so glad we did it, thank you for sorting us out!

From the secret stork I got.....

...A beautiful cream cotton cardi from Blooming Marvellous,
...A mini photo album with a bunny on the front
...Some lovely pregnancy massage/bath oil
...Some Dr Stuart's Tranquility tea bags
...Some Kallo gluten free chocolate biccies

And a power ranger magazine for DS.....

Also, the most lovely card with lovely thoughts written inside which reduced me to tears and continues to do everytime I read it.....even my friend K had tears in her eyes reading it yesterday!!

Bless you Secret Stork, its all just faberoonie...(but the bicccies have gone already )

Sorry Marslady, as Foxy said we have been so excited I forgot to post on here. Will be back in a moment with that

Thank you, thank you, thank you my secret shower fairy you truly have sprinkled fairy magic over my very stressful sat morning!! Oh how warm and fuzzy I feel to have a gorgeous surprise present in the post! And so beautifully wrapped too!

For those who are nosey (like I know you all are!) in my basket I have: Guylian Chocolates, a cream hooded wrap towel and bath mit (with teddies on), a cream cuddly fleece (with a bunny on) and earth friendly lavender cleansing soap, red clover diaper care cream and lavender shampoo and body wash! How spoilt do I feel?!

DD is equally excited and has been helpfully put the baby things in his/her room and has volunteered to eat the chocolates. (which of course she hasn't a hope!)

Thank you so much again my virtual fairy friend, I just love being part of the June thread!

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN FOR FOR LOVELY LOVELY PRESENTS TO MY SHOWER FAIRY!

Even DH who was utterly sceptical about the the whole thing has been touched he said how there are still some lovely kind people in this world and to have virtual friends I've never even met too!

BIG THANK YOU TOO TO MARSLADY!!! YOU ARE A STAR!!

MarsLady · 23/04/2007 17:51

Any more???????????????

Dontknowmyarsefrommyelbow · 24/04/2007 09:16

Good morning!
Oh what a wonderful day!!
I got my special shower pressie!!!! Whoaaaa!!!
Can't tell you how excited I was to see it!! It's great getting a pressie when its not your birthday or christmas!
Well I got a Baby Whoozit toy (which is very cool) to hang on the carseat / pram - and as I have virtually no toys for this baby at all (loads of clothes etc) I am over the moon! (I just didn't know where to start with the toys?) It's perfect!
Also ........ I got some Maclaren (Beginning) Supporting Belly Balm which smells AMAZING, and is packed with all things good and wonderful. This may help with my quest to regain my flat tum!!!

It's like my Secret Showeree knows me, which is brill! I didn't put anything on my dislikes list when I sent it to Lovely Mars Lady - but I hoped that if I was sent any lotions and potions that they would be natural stuff as I have a problem with artificial additives and especially petroleum derivatives and this Maclaren stuff has non of that in it - which is very rare!! So I think I'll be buying the whole range now! - For mother and Baby!!!

Thank you Secret Showeree! You are wonderful, and I hope you have a wonderful warm glow in the knowledge that DKMAFM Elbow (my name on the packet! made me LOL!)is smiling like the Cheshire Cat today!!

And thank you too MarsLady!!!

MarsLady · 24/04/2007 20:18

LOL!!!!!!!!!

mytwocents · 26/04/2007 13:33

I received my lovely gift on tuesday so Thankyou!!!!!
I got;
A lovely little newborn toy cow which rattles
Two very cute little summer babygros ( these made me weep, guess it's finally hitting me that there'll be this tiny tiny person here very soon )
A washbag with lovely sanctuary products in which smell fantastic.

All wrapped in a really cute box.

So, many many thanks secret shower lady!
Dp was also impressed, proved to him that we are really all friends, even if only on the net. being there for eachother with kindness and generosity.

Thanks again to the wonderful marslady!

Anymore arrived yet????????????

annobal · 27/04/2007 19:08

I just received my gift - thank you so much to my secret shower-er, it is really lovely. I got a pregnancy survival kit with a massager (which I've already used), some rescue remedy, Lucozade sweets, bubble bath and some choccies (which are already gone - they would have melted )

So thank you for such a lovely pressie and thank you Mars for organising

fatcatkin · 28/04/2007 09:05

My gift has arrived!! It is truly perfect. A beautiful tiny turquoise organic cotton suit with wrap over front bit (which is something I'm very fond of!) and some fabulous organic smellies which are all lavendery and lovely!!

Couldn't have chosen better myself!! Well done clever secret showeree!!

And thank you so very much! Sending lovely hugs to you......

And thank you very lovely marslady!!

What a wonderful idea this was! Got my secret gift today (from someone clever up in Leeds...). I was having such a crap day too, it was the best thing EVER!

I got a pink and zebra-striped set of bib and blanket - so cool I'm just going to have to keep it for special outings .

Also some yummy body stuff which I always look at but never buy myself - so thank you Secret Shower Person!!!

p.s. the card was the sweetest bit - as I said on the thread, just seeing a photo of wee baby toes makes me want to cry! So precious!!

Thank you Marslady, you're the best!!

hollyandalice · 02/05/2007 10:48

I got my presents just now! They are lovely! I got a really pretty t-shirt for dd, which she is oooing over, two little tiny vests, some sweeties, a lovely jewellery set and some sanctuary smellies! All in a lovely box with a lovely card! Bless you secret stock, I love my special gifts!

Thank you lovely mars lady, you are great!

BadZelda · 02/05/2007 13:02

Oh by the way DH just emailed a pic of my my secret shower present....from poole (hmmm the detective in me is now trying to work out who that's from...). A lovely Mother Goose book - so which clever person worked out I'm a total bibliophile? Ella was read to before the bump was even visible from the outside!...also thanks for the cute little washcloth...will encourage me to be less of a soap-dodger ;)

catsuitgirl · 02/05/2007 16:09

yay! Got my present this morning - a gorgeous Elvis babygro. Just gorgeous. He's going to be the best dressed baby in town... (now I just need the large, gold sunglasses... )

Thank you thank you thank you!

bumperlicious · 03/05/2007 19:29

Whoo hoo - got my secret shower prezzy today and it has cheered me right up! I got a Very Hungry Caterpillar Baby book - fantastic as we hadn't got round to buying one yet. DH thought it was fab too! Plus it proves my MN friends aren't a figment of my imagination!

THANK YOU whoever you are!

And huge thanks to lovely Marslady for the fab idea and for helping us out!

sputnik · 07/05/2007 10:37

Just got my baby shower gift, from someone wonderful in Southampton so no prizes for guessing I think, unless someone is bluffing

Anyway I got the exact blue dungaree set with elephants on from vertbaudet that I wanted to get and couldn't because you can't order from outside UK, it is really cute and gorgeous, you totally hit the spot there! Plus a box full of eastern bath lovelies, body brush, loofah etc, all in a black wooden box which will look great in our bathroom where we have a bit of a black/white/stone theme going on. PLUS (you generous person!) a lovely glass bead bracelet which DD immediatly appropriated and loves so much I don't really have the heart to confiscate it.

Thank you so much, it's a really thoughtful gift and really brings home to me how great it's been being on this thread and getting to know all of you xxxxxxxx
