Received your very thoughtful and generous gift today when I got in from work. Thank you for the lovely message too. It was a real treat, and I promise I will use it for me (I have to admit I had a little peek under the wrapped box as it sounded tasty and I wanted to make sure I put them somewhere safe :-D), although I will share the yummy stuff with my best friend over Christmas Eve coffee at my house.

I have spent a lot of time running around non stop for other people's Christmas's over the last couple of months and it really brought a tear or two to my eye that someone took time out to think about me, even though you don't know me. Thank you Thanks

Thank you so much for the very lovely card and voucher. I am extremely touched that someone nominated me and someone else took the time to send me a gift. Merry Christmas.

Thank you so much for the lovely box of gifts. Just collected from the post office today. I'm looking forward to opening my pressie on the day as I won't get many as a lp and the DCs will love theirs x

I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for the delay in sending the presents for your family. I've had a crazy few weeks with moving house/ lots to do at work and being pregnant and exhausted but I've got the stuff and now I just need to get wrapping paper and get to a post office. It will definitely be within the next few days. I just didn't want you to think I'd forgotten.

Xmas2014MN8786 · 11/12/2014 17:45

I forgot to say, thank you for the gift card too. I need to work out what to treat the DCs to, or me or both!

Xmas2014MN5380 so glad the parcel arrived OK and I hope you enjoy treating yourself! Hope you and your friend enjoy the treats on Xmas eve too - think they will be the perfect start to Christmas with coffee!

Best wishes for Christmas and new year to you and to all the Secret Santa donors and recipients!

Xmas2014SantaC9993 · 11/12/2014 20:19

To Xmas2014MN9993, I'm so glad the second parcel arrived safely and you liked everything. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, I'll be thinking of you on Christmas Day Xmas Grin

Xmas2014Santa5149 · 11/12/2014 20:24

Xmas2014MN5149, your parcel should be there Monday (maybe tomorrow), was posted today xxx

Xmas2014SantaA8891 · 11/12/2014 20:47

Very glad you like the book Ms8891 :o

And YES spend the voucher on something for YOU, not for anyone else!

Xmas2014MN7666 · 11/12/2014 21:15

To Xmas2014MN4931

Two separate parcels are coming to you, I'm really sorry they won't be wrapped. Merry Christmas to you all and good luck with imminent DC2 xx

Madamedupin · 11/12/2014 22:38

I've noticed that another Mumsnetter has sent a gift to my recipient, Xmas2014MN2723
I thought that was Ok because maybe they had been nominated a couple of times and so would receive more than one parcel?
But I've also tried to name change to say that mine was posted a week ago and it should have arrived on Monday the 8th (meant to post before but haven't had chance) but it said that User name was already in use.
The email said I should be Xmas2014SantaB2723
Now I'm worried something's wrong with the system.. Xmas Confused

Dear SecretSantaB3112 (I'm not sure if this is right...I wrote a thankyou to you the other day as well if it is!) Anyway...

Dear "Random Stranger on the Internet" (hopefully that will help Xmas Grin ), I have left the parcel for the girls to unwrap when they get in from school so we will all see what it is then! They'll be very excited by getting to unwrap something before Christmas.

I was looking at some board games on Amazon last night, so will put the voucher to use for one of those (or maybe a couple if they're cheap) to wrap to go under the tree for us all.

Thank you for brightening up this morning (dp has just left to pick up his dad's ashes) & putting a smile back on my face. I hope you have a truly wonderful Christmas Xmas Smile

Thank you so very much to the lovely mumsnetter who sent me my gift - I haven't opened it yet as I am going to save it as a treat on Christmas Day. My children think it is fabulous that someone I have never met has sent me a present (which I certainly don't deserve) and it sends a very powerful message to them (and me) about the kindness of others even in austere times.
You truly are a very kind, generous person - thank you xxx

To Xmas2014SantaC9395
Thank you so much, I have my parcel. I have had it for a while but thought it was a mix up with another parcel I had. But it seems it is not a mistake, so it really is for me! I won't open till Xmas day if okay with you? But thank you once again. I am having a really difficult time and it is so wonderful to be nominated and have someone as thoughtful as you to send me something. It makes me feel much less alone. Lots of love and best wishes for you. :)
