A few people have asked me how they should thank the person who sent them something - can I suggest you post on here? Namechange if you want to remain anonymous, and remember that your donor won't know your MN name anyway - so maybe give some clues (ie "thank you for the lego and the chocolate")

Camillathechicken · 02/12/2007 15:18

a huge thank you to firstly, whoever nominated me and secondly to the Mumsnetter who sent such wonderful gifts.

I was touched beyond belief yesterday to receive a big box , wrapped so carefully in gold paper, containing such thoughtful and lovely gifts for the DCs. the miffy bag and sofy toy, and bath toys for DD and two wonderful books and an amazing yoyo for DS. And for me a beautiful picture frame and M&S vouchers.

I feel thoroughly spoilt, such unstinting generosity is just amazing. The DCs are thrilled and so am I .

wishing my Secret Santa a very happy Christmas, and a wonderful new year. I hope all your dreams and hopes come true, you are clearly a wonderful and generous person.

love from Lulu and the BabyLulus xxxxx

Pinkranger, are the senders initials sc?

pinkrangernowwobbles · 03/12/2007 12:58

yes

Lazarou · 03/12/2007 13:05

excellent, they are from me
there should be two more arriving, did you have to sign for the first two? The other two went standard parcel, so may take a bit longer. Anyway, let I know when they arrive.

Santa100 · 03/12/2007 13:10

Was just wondering if my recepient got her parcel ok? Twas a bit modest sorry.. but basically consisted of a small wrapped gift for the Mumsnetter Of The House.. and an electronic toy plus gift wrap for one of the children?

I sent it last Tuesday.. am bit worried in case it didn't arrive...

pinkrangernowwobbles · 03/12/2007 13:19

Lazarou - What can i say thank you soooooooooooo Much - my boys will be chuffed, ds1 asked who the presents where from and i said really special people x Did sign for the first too, will let you know when others arrive, there are some truly wonderful people in this world!

LadyOfWassail · 03/12/2007 13:41

I got another parcel today! Thankyou so much to the mumsnetter who sent it, I think you are from another country? Italy I think. DS will really love the decorations, will really brighten up his room and the tree decorations now have a very special meaning THankyou so so much, again I am grinning like a mad woman xxxx {{hugs}} x

ORIGINSreceiver · 03/12/2007 15:31

Thank you sooooooooo much to whoever sent the parcel from Origins. It smells absolutely wonderful (am saving for Xmas day to open). I love love love this sort of stuff. Thank you so so much (and a lovely surprise - 'who's that at the door?' I thought).

I'm happy to say who I am btw if you don't know (not sure of etiquette and wanted the thank you to be easy to see from the name as well).

Gipfeli · 03/12/2007 16:15

You're most welcome ORIGINSreceiver.

Glad the parcel came - was a bit worried when the website got all awkward about addresses when I ordered (I don't live in the UK and sometimes run into problems). Glad it was something you liked.

I think I know who you are but that's just some guessing and detective work based on what I was told by Lapin. You won't "know" who I am though as I'm a committed lurker!

TenLordsaLapin · 03/12/2007 16:19

Ooh another thank you here (in fact she beat me to it - sorry PS, I didn't see it! )

gratefulnetter · 03/12/2007 19:07

thank you to whoever sent me an electronic boys game and a gift for myself

ChuffedInReceipt · 03/12/2007 19:53

xx Mine arrived today, on the third attempt at delivery. I wasn't sure how I would sign for it at the collection office It was a lovely box to receive. The boys will love the toys and books (esp the Horrid Henry) and there was even a present for me to open on Christmas Day, too.

Thankyou so much. I hope you have the wonderful Christmas you deserve.

xxxx

GreedyGecko · 03/12/2007 20:15

Thank You so much to 's'. Had to collect the box from a neighbour. Was very confused to begin with as all the presents I've ordered have arrived already.

Well what can I say? I really am overwhelmed by your generosity. Have been grinning from ear to ear all afternoon since receiving it.

The boys gifts are perfect (a Cyberman voicechanger & a Duplo farm). They'll love them.

And some very welcome pampering due for me with the No7 goodies. I hope you don't mind me using them before Christmas as ds2 has an op on my birthday, so will definately need to unwind then.

Have a wonderful Christmas.

Thank You so very much. xxx

ORIGINSreceiver · 03/12/2007 20:51

oooh thank you Gipfeli. Honestly it's perfect. If you see my recent threads you'll know how much of a treat pampering will be right now. I may well open the present early..... Thank you again. xx

santasecretsender · 03/12/2007 21:23

Chuffed - so glad it arrived safely. I'm sorry it wasn't much, but I hope you all have a wondrous christmas. xxx

ChuffedInReceipt · 03/12/2007 21:32

What do you mean? It was a bloomin' box full!

I've eaten most of the chocolate though.

secretsantasender · 03/12/2007 21:37
