Im very jealous I've never recieved anything from bear in a box like that! (Its a bear nibbles one right?!)
The card was lovely too thankyou....in my excitement this morning I forgot to put it in my thankyou post!

Your parcel is in the post (finally!) hope your DS enjoys it. I sealed the parcel and then found the spare batteries that were supposed to be enclosed so I've tucked them into the bottom of the box and resealed, but they're easy to miss!
Hope you have a very Happy Christmas

I've sent your parcel recorded delivery today so hopefully it will be with you by Monday 22nd. With very best wishes for Xmas and the future, x

I finally got to sending your surprise - illness intervened but I got to the post office in the end. Hope it arrives safely! Wishing a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Dear XmasSantaB9893,

A bundle of lovely-looking enticing presents has just arrived! With love from you. What a great treat for us, thank you so much for your generosity. We haven't opened them yet, but they look nice and festive under the tree....if I can keep the kids off them til Christmas we'll be lucky! We're pretty broke, so your presents mean a lot and make a difference.

Thank you, thank you! I will thank you again when we've opened them.

I'm so sorry it's so late, but I've been rotten ill for a week. Your parcel went off first class this morning, so I hope it will be with you soon.

Haven't got the full name change but I'm really pleased you've got your parcel MN9893. I hope it all is stuff you will like. Have a fabulous Xmas

To Xmas2014SantaC2510
Thanks so very much for your box of parcels which arrived today. How kind to have chosen something for the DCs. I feel quite emotional that a random MNer has been shopping with us in mind. That's a really special sort of Christmas magic. Merry Christmas to you and your family, whoever you are! Xx

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine...
We'd like to say again and again, thank you, thank you, thank you for all your kindness and generosity. It's here on the thread in abundance and a complete joy to see.

Hopefully the username techie glitch is now fixed. Please let us know at [email protected] if you still have a problem.

And a reminder (thanks ZeroSomeGameThingy) that code numbers for Secret Santa nominees and donors can be found in the pop up box on the bottom left of any page on Mumsnet. But heads up, you do need to have logged in first.
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see.

Hello Xmas2014MN2510

So glad to hear the box arrived safely. I hope you all like your presents.

Happy Christmas!

I have received two lovely gifts in the last few days and wanted to say a huge huge Thankyou to the person/people who sent them. They were really thoughtful and very much appreciated

To Xmas2014SantaD8733
Thank you Xmas2014SantaD8733 a really sweet present and I'm very grateful.

Dear Xmas2014SantaB7034,

Thank you so, so much! I ?? love ?? the candle set, and am highly tickled by the special Christmas stocking for my cat

Strangely enough I had a pretty shitty day un-piling the furniture in my new flat and, having sorted out a table, was ferreting around for candles to put on it. Couldn't find them - and then your gift arrived, containing infinitely more elegant ones than any in my dusty boxes! The cat's sleeping on said boxes but, when she wakes up, she will find intriguing catnip treats scattered around.

It's incredible to have received such a gorgeous present from a stranger. Very big thanks to you and whoever nominated me

A very happy Christmas to you. x

To Xmas2014SantaA1227
Thank you very much for the lovely present, we will be very excited to open it on Christmas Day.

SantaSandyMumsnet i'm just testing to see if this works. However, I can't see the pop up box thingy or code numbers of which you speak anywhere on my screen!! Is it because I'm on an iPad?

Xmas2014MN7034

Ah that's deadly that you got and liked the presents. :-) I was umming and ahhing between candles and smellies so glad I went for the right things.

Hope your cat enjoys her treats and Merry Christmas
Xxxx

Dear mystery sender Xmas2014SantaA7124,
I received my gift today and it was lovely. Thank you so much for your thought, effort and general loveliness.
I know you don't know me at all, but this year has been a hard one in which I have struggled to come to terms with a traumatic event that has left me bereaved and permanently injured. I don't discuss it on here at all, so I was very touched to be nominated at all.
Please know that your parcel was very gratefully received and you have injected some Christmas cheer on this side of my computer monitor. x

To Xmas2014SantaD9827
Thank you, two more parcels came this week and are safely still wrapped under my tree. I am quite overwhelmed by such kindness. My family have had such a hard year for various reasons. We discovered that two of our children have inherited a condition that means they have special needs. We are waiting to get our newborn tested for a gene we didn't know we even carried until this year.

However for every hardship we have faced this year I have met and been helped by people who either bearly know me, or don't know me at all. Everything I have thought "why us, we don't deserve this" I have realised I have been helped by incredible kind acts so I would like to say to my secret Santa " why me, I don't deserve this" as you really are too kind.

I really do need to pay it forward in 2015 as it's random acts of kindness like this which has held me together this year. I can't say thank you enough. Xxx

To Xmas2014SantaF9395
I am so sorry. I have got myself all muddled up. Your parcel was delivered to my neighbour and i thought it was something i had ordered. I have only just collected it and realised it was a lovely MN present. I feel terrible. I hope you can forgive me and accept my heartfelt thanks. It is so kind of you to have thought of me in this way. It's such a wonderful process to be part of, i just don't know what i have done to deserve such generosity from strangers.

I wont open it till xmas day if that's okay with you?

Please accept my apologies once again for being so tardy with my appreciation. :)

As above also to xmas2014santaa9827 - thank you so much for my dd gift. It's safely under the tree. Xxxx thank you a million times over

To Xmas2014SantaA3981
Thank you so much for my voucher, it is very much appreciated and really cheered me up! x

Xmas2014MNB3112

Very glad that everything arrived! I hope your DDs liked the present - I was umming and ahhing over various things but thought that it looked like something that would cover both ages (and it's always exciting to be allowed to open something before Christmas)

From,

Random Stranger On the Internet
