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")

littlelapin for prime minister!!

She is fab xx

Big thanks to 'The H Family' who sent us a Boots Giftcard, I picked it up from the depot today.

Xx

He he veryhappy i know who you are

Thankyou so much to our secret santa, she very kindly sent us some chocolate snowballs, Christmas decorations, something for me and a voucher (Amazon), very very kind of you. I shall choose something lovely for my boys and put my pressie under the tree. It cheered me up loads to receive it. (think my postie was curious to see who the mumsnetter was too!)

A BIG thank you to Secret Santa who sent the Time Team book for my ds - he is going to be so surprised and happy on xmas morning !
The super sized Lush Pud is absolutely fantastic!.... and BIG! So big in fact it had burst out of your lovely wrapping!! I let ds see this (but not the book ) and it made him giggle and make jokes about exploding puddings.

A BIG thank you to the Secret Santa who sent the white company gift set. Ohhh it's so lovely!! I sneaked a smell (well i just couldn't resist!) before I wrapped it. ohhh it's gorgeous! The smell actually triggered off a memory (you know how smells do that?) Only I can't quite place where that memory is taking me. Must be somewhere nice though because the smell gives me a happy feeling

glad esme got there safely

i forgot to put the note in with her so was hoping you'd realize who she was for

Thankyou
For our gifts, a disney princess bag filled with hair accessories, a make your own suncatcher thingy and a Tshirt transfer doodle crayoning set.
Also thankyou for my gift!

Very suitable for my dds, thanks very very much!

Can i just say how overwhelmed i am by this.
Firstly massive thanks to whomever nominated me.
Secondly to the very kind mumsnetter D (didn't know whether you wanted to remain anonymous).
Your very thoughtful presents will make my ds and dd very happy! The disney straw, Barbie toy set and poem book will be much loved by my princess mad dd.
The Bob the builder Duplo set and book will have a good home with my ds!
I will save my present all wrapped up and put it under the tree for xmas day!
May i wish you and your family's a lovely christmas x

thanks again as another parcel arrived today with cuddly toys and some girls clothes! The children will be overwhelmed

whenscoobygotstuckupthechimney- worried that you know who I am I am only a regular on two threads and am embarassed and shocked to be nominated as I feel there are much more deserving familes than us.

In fact I have my own donor parcel in the car to post tomorrow

thank you very much to MABS AND FAMILY for the WHSmith voucher.
You are very kind. I shall get my dd some wonderful craft things and put them under the tree from santa.
i hope you have a merry christmas

Sorry veryhappy, please don't be shocked, i only know because i read your story & did nominate you (sorry Lapin trying to make veryhappy feel better) I am sure i am not the only one who did though, you are very very deserving, don't feel ashamed.

I should not have posted i knew who you were, i did not think before i posted

no problem scooby I have just read your story and it seems you have been 'got' too I hope you get it sorted - some people don't miss a trick

He he i am very happy for you & your ds i felt very reading your story with regards to the bob the buildre things.

Hope you have a lovely christm,as & well done to your buyer looks like they brought a lovely selection of things.

I love mn

the only 'Bob the Builder' toy which wasn't in the box was the one that he got for his birthday last year 'Benny' which started the craze off in the first place

Aw bless him bet you can't wait to see his face on christmas morning, he will be over the moon

BAD Scooby! Big gob

Please can I just ask everyone, if you DO realise who another poster is when they have namechanged on here, please don't say so, a lot of people want to be anonymous, both as donors and recipients.

What is the etiquette when they have outed themselves in the parcel? Was I wrong to thank by name?

Sorry i would never say who it is though, i would suggest not stating things from past threads is well IYKWIM.

Many thanks to le**il for the lovely pamper bath set you sent me, it was really touching when I received it last week, and have already tried it out. Hmmmm heavenly! Thanks once again.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year

I think if people have said their names on here, or in the package, that's fine. It's just when people specifically change name IYSWIM.

So if I got a large Fortnum's hamper from "LL'sSanta" I wouldn't post "thanks Scooby!"

just testing my new name

haha at tenlordsalapin. how can we possibly compete with that?
