Thanks so much for your lovely gift! I am going to buy a lovely pair of gloves for myself with it!
Merry Christmas to you!

RuckAndRoll · 10/12/2014 10:40

Sorry if this has been asked, but are people sending stuff already wrapped or not? Mine is for children, I was thinking I would want to see what it is before giving it to them but then it's not all pretty and christmassy.

wigglesrock · 10/12/2014 10:52

RuckandRoll - I wrapped the ones I sent, but put a wee note in with the parcel saying what the presents were.

cozietoesie · 10/12/2014 11:26

Your call, Ruck - but I rather like wigglesrock's approach. That way, they're all ready but you know what's coming for DCs if presents are for them.

Thank you so, so much for my lovely gifts. You didn't just get it "a little bit right", you got it very, very right. You couldn't have chosen better, they are just the sort of things I would have chosen for myself, especially the patterns and colours. Thank you so much for including DS too. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy 2015. Xmas Smile

I'm sorry for the delay, your parcel was dropped off at the PO yesterday for parcelforce delivery, I think it should be delivered in 48hrs and be signed for..

Happy Christmas!

Thank you so very much. I too have benefitted from being a mumsnetter over the years, and now to be nominated and a recipient is just lovely. Flowers

Thank you again, and please have a lovely, lovely Christmas Xmas Smile

Thankyou! It arrived yesterday but I was rushing about like a mad thing yesterday.

Thankyou. It arrived yesterday but I was rushing about like a mad thing. It was a real surprise to find it behind the door! Thanks.

To Xmas2014MN4398
So delighted the presents arrived and even more delighted that you genuinely liked it. Have a wonderful Christmas and a cracking 2015 (and a very un-mumsnetty hug!)

Xmas2014SantaA5299 · 10/12/2014 13:44

You're very welcome. Twice over Wink

DS1 wanted me to give the big thing as a gift to someone, as he'd already bought himself one! I hope you can treat yourself to something nice with the rest of the package x

Xmas2014Santa1048 · 10/12/2014 13:52

To Xmas2014MN1048,
I'm glad the gift has arrived safely. I know I wrapped it but I've just thought I should have at least written a note to say what it is. Perhaps you should have a peek to see if it's suitable for someone, before Christmas? I'm a bit worried it won't be now.

Anyway, I hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas!

Xmas2014SantaA5299 · 10/12/2014 14:23

My "have you sent your gift?" nag has come back Hmm

Xmas2014MN3276 · 10/12/2014 14:28

I just wanted to pop on here to say thank you in advance (also placemarking on this thread!)

To Xmas2014SantaC3051
Thank you so much to the lovely MNeter who sent me a wonderful and very generous gift. I feel humbled that a stranger can be so kind. Huge huge thanks and I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

LucindaE · 10/12/2014 15:16

Thank you from Lucinda for a lovely surprise present; I don't know who it was, but it was very sweet.

FruVikingessOla · 10/12/2014 15:18

My "have you sent your gift?" nag has come back"

I think there's been a bit of a glitch on MN over the last 24 hours - I had it yesterday also, even though I'd sent mine last week - and clicked on the 'sent' buttons. The little 'naggy' box has now disappeared again today. So don't worry about it, it should go away.

Xmas2014MN6847 · 10/12/2014 15:23

To Xmas2014SantaC6847
Thank you! The shiney red parcel has arrived!

It says 'Open Now' - is that an order?! I am happy to have it sitting prettily under the tree till Christmas morning.

Again, thank you so much for sending this to me - it is so very kind and thoughtful.

RunawayReindeer · 10/12/2014 16:22

It might be something you need to put together, or might be unsuitable, or might need refrigerating etc? I'm not your santa though Xmas Grin So it may be nothing!

To Xmas2014SantaC6978
I just want to thank my Secret Santa very much. The postlady bought me a box today and i had to explain about the SS thing to her! I wont unwrap it until Christmas Day and i really appreciate your kindness!

Xmas2014SantaD5149 · 10/12/2014 17:34

To Xmas2014MN5149

Just to let you know the parcel should be with you by now. Hope your DC like the gifts.
