Secret Santa Thank You Thread

I have asked in Site Stuff where to put this with no reply, so if it's wrong can you move MN please? Thanks.

Yesterday I received a gorgeous pack of coasters that we can put pictures in, and a box from Amazon with toys including a Rubiks magic puzzle for my ds's.

I want to say a huge thank you to whichever person sent them. They are perfect and the feeling someone cares enough to have nominated and / or bought for us makes a difference. Two weeks ago we thought we were about to become homeless after a bloody rough year and although that has passed we're still feeling very shaken and it's so good to have some light out there. Christmas stands between now and our ds4 being seen at the Paediatrician's request (for those who don't know ds1 has asd, ds2 dyspraxia and ADD, ds3 asd) and this has given me the Christmas spirit I was missing.

Thank you, I wish you all a most wonderful of festive seasons.

Hi, can I say a huge thank you to the mumsnetter who nominated me for a Christmas gift.

I have no idea who you are (your name is on the voucher but not your mn name - don't want to type your name in for privacy reasons) but I'm so touched that you thought of me and the dc's and went out of your way to make us feel cared for and special.

It's been a rough year, and yesterday was a tough day and I was feeling pretty low - cue coming home from town to find my gift in the mail - I can't tell you how much you brightened my day. You truly have made a real difference to our lives.

A big, heartfelt thank you comes from me to you [and an ummumsnetty hug Xmas Grin]

ScarlottiSanta · 05/12/2010 16:30

Hi Scarlotti- sorry about the name being on the vouchers (I did try to be anonymous, but the technology failed me!)

There will be another parcel coming your way this week for you, DD and the DSs.

Have a fab Christmas!

BibiBelle · 05/12/2010 16:44

I got another voucher Blush and wanted to say thank you again. DH didn't realise it was another one and didn't get the code for me - I'm guessing at 48D but I could be wrong and I'm sorry Blush

I am utterly overwhelmed and grateful - you have bouth made our year and Christmas Smile

sleighBELLasringing · 05/12/2010 19:49

I love this thread too >

scarlotti · 05/12/2010 22:29

ScarlottiSanta - I am truly overwhelmed by your generosity, thank you so much. In a way, I like the fact I know your name (even though it means nothing to me!) as I have a person to thank if that makes sense.
I have no idea why you nominated me, but you thinking of us has really made a difference. I too am Blush by it all.

BrandyButterPie · 06/12/2010 00:40

The person who sends the gift isn't the person who nominated you, btw - they are seperate people. If you are a gift giver you get an email with no indication of who it is you are sending to- just the address and the ages and genders of the children, plus any special requirements.

reallywoundup · 06/12/2010 09:02

i have just recieved a lovely amazon voucher from 94D, Thank-you so much! the generosity of mn'ers never fails to amaze me! Whoever 94D is.... Have a fantastic christmas and a wonderful new year, with all our love and thanks, the RWU's! x

MaryAnnSingleton · 06/12/2010 09:43

yay !

ThankYou32D · 06/12/2010 11:27

Santa 32D - Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts that arrived this morning for my two girls.. they are fabulous and I am sure they will be chuffed to bits. They are just spot on! I am really overwhelmed by your generosity

Also a great big thank you to the mumsnetter who nominated us - I am still at a loss as to why - but 2010 has been a huge improvement already over 2009 and 2011 is bound to be even better

thank you all....

CHANGEDMYLIFE · 06/12/2010 12:02

Thank you 32D. Glad you liked the gifts and happy things are improving for you and hope you have a good 2011. hope you all have a happy christmas x

MNerInWarrington · 06/12/2010 12:19

I want to say a huge thankyou to the person who nominated me and to my fabulous Secret Santa.

I got two parcels this morning from Amazon,

I can't find a reference number anywhere but they contained some perfume for me and an 'addict-a-ball' and a model set for ds. We're in Warrington. Hope my Secret Santa can identify herself from this.

I absoulutely love my perfume, its just the kind of thing I would have picked myself Xmas Smile I haven't had proper prefume in a very long time and can't tell you how nice it is to have something for me

The gifts for DS are fab too, I'm sure you must know him because you couldn't have picked better. He is going to be so happy.

Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. I am so touched that somebody has so much kindness in their heart that they would send a complete stranger such lovely gifts.

I hope you and your family have a very happy Christmas, you have certainly made mine a lot nicer xxxx

MaryAnnSingleton · 06/12/2010 12:20

HELP !! I've just received a second secret santa gift (another Amazon gift voucher) this time from very kind Secret Santa 61 D I am sure I shouldn't have 2 presents- what should I do ?

BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree · 06/12/2010 12:20

We lost the sticky on the thread Shock!

SantatoMNinWarrington · 06/12/2010 16:45

Hi MNinWarrington - there are 2 more parcels coming from Amazon, gifts for your DD's.

Glad you & your DS like them - maybe get some peace on Xmas day Smile

Happy Christmas x

reallywoundup · 06/12/2010 17:04

maybe you were nominated twice mas?

BecauseImWorthIt · 06/12/2010 18:13

Maybe you just deserve it, MAS?! Xmas Grin

MaryAnnSingleton · 06/12/2010 18:14

crikey - but i feel bad about having 2- is it bad form to return it ?

Hulababy · 06/12/2010 18:21

MAS - I assume there may very well be more peole donating than there are receiving, hence some people getting more than 1 donator allocated to them.

MaryAnnSingleton · 06/12/2010 18:51

well,it seems that I am meant to have 2 according to MNHQ - that is incredibly lovely -so a huge thank you also to 61 D - and a very happy Christmas xxx

scarlotti · 06/12/2010 19:47

Ah, I didn't realise that the nominator was different to the Santa - this is all new to me ...

So to the lovely mumsnetter who nominated me - my heartfelt thanks for putting such lovely wheels in motion - myself and the dc's are very grateful.

I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas Xmas Grin

Secretsanta61D · 06/12/2010 20:45

MaryAnnSingleton It was lovely to hear the voucher arrived - hey you can maybe get those thermals now, or something else for you/ds if you prefer :) There will be a (very small) gift following - hope you like it, it is a bit tricky buying for someone you don't know. Have a lovely Christmas xxx

MaryAnnSingleton · 06/12/2010 22:20

Xmas Grin !!

DanceInTheDark · 06/12/2010 22:26

Where did the sticky go?

SoNotWorthIt · 07/12/2010 11:45

I received some Argos vouchers from 65D this morning. Thank you so so much! I am sorry that i had to name change to thank you, i am a bit Blush really. You have been very generous.

I had asked RebeccaMNHQ to put me at the bottom of the list because i really and truely do not deserve anything, especially not from MN where i am blunt and rude for the majority of the time!

HowsTheSerenity · 07/12/2010 12:12

I had to search and search to find this thread. Can it not be stapled back at the top please.
