Sadly gift never arrived, but I am hugely grateful to the person who nominated me. Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful day Flowers

Dear Xmas2014Santa5298

Thank you SO much for the lovely presents - so very kind and generous of you. DS is loving his little puzzle - as you can imagine, like most 2 year old boys, he is obsessed with transport!
I hope you have had a lovely Christmas, and wishing you a Happy New Year Xmas Smile

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Xmas Grin

Dear Xmas2014SantaB5298

Thank you for the lovely presents - particularly the ones for bump, so sweet and kind.

I hope you are having a lovely Christmas and wishing you a very Happy New Year Xmas Smile

Dear Xmas2014SantaB8300

Thank you so much for your lovely, generous and thoughtful gift! I am massively grateful and it really made me smile when it arrived earlier this week! I would have posted sooner to say thanks but the DCs have been hogging the computer and I'm not technically savvy enough to work out how to do it on my phone.

I hope you're having a wonderful Christmas and that 2015 is a brilliant year for you!

To SantaA4743 another huge thank you for our gifts, my dd has put her lights up in her bedroom, she was so pleased with them. And what a posh T towel, love it, had it proudly displayed on my oven door today! Sadly I have been very unwell, some flu type bug has well and truly got me, really bad timing. But thank you so much again, it really touched me. xx

Thank you, you lovely person! I don't know if there were one or two of you, but both deliveries arrived and were opened today, and I was a little bit teary over them.

It was so incredibly kind, and meant the world to me. I could have been feeling really isolated and lonely, but it gave me such a lift. The robin card will be kept to remind me of this (and I will treat myself with something I've wanted to buy for ages). And, person who wrapped the parcel in red and white paper, it was beautiful and thoughtful and you are so very kind to go to all that trouble.

Sadly my gift didn't arrive either, but as a PP has said, it was nice to be nominated.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Day Xmas Smile

Xmas2014MN1555 · 26/12/2014 11:49

SecretSantaA1555 and SecretSantaC1555
Thank you both so much for my wonderful presents - you truly are both extremely kind and generous people. I hope you both had a wonderful christmas day and that the new year is kind to you and your families.
I will keep both cards as a reminder of the generosity/thoughtfulness of others and the hand made christmas decoration made me well up. I can't imagine another christmas passing where I don't hang it on my tree and remember your gifts to me and my children.

Xmas2014SantaB8815 · 26/12/2014 12:53

Xmas2014MN8815 - hope you received your parcels. Sent one small envelope about a week and a half ago first class - but just put it in the postbox - didn't send it recorded. Sent a parcel on 23rd guaranteed for Christmas Eve. I know you didn't get it then as you were out, but hope you get it soon (sorry - I know picking parcels up from the Sorting Office is a pain!). I am away without the Post Office receipt so I can't check right now if it's arrived, but I'm hoping it has!

Hope you had a marvellous Christmas!

306235388 · 26/12/2014 14:56

9827 fab thanks for letting me know - all the best for 2015

To Xmas2014SantaC7773
Oh, raindancer, I have just seen you worrying your parcel might not have arrived - don't worry! It did (on the 23rd), and was so much appreciated as I said just upthread.

The wrapping was so beautiful (that must have taken ages!) and the contents were lovely. Thank you so very much. And sorry for not seeing your earlier message until now!

Xmas2014SantaC1555 · 26/12/2014 18:57

To Xmas2014MN1555

Thank you for your lovely thank you - I hope you and your children enjoy the rest of Christmas and that 2015 brings you lots of good things x

To Xmas2014MN7773
I'm so pleased it arrived in time - DH will be pleased to hear he is off the hook Wink. It was sent with love and best wishes for a happy festive season and a gentle New Year.
I'm glad you liked the wrapping. I decided to make my own paper as I thought 2 year old DD would enjoy doing it...in reality by Christmas Eve I was swearing never to make that mistake again Smile

Xmas2014MN7773 · 26/12/2014 21:21

Please do tell your DH thank you very much too!

I am even more impressed now I know you did that by hand - I did wonder, but it looked so posh I thought you might have bought it. Even my mum commented, and she wouldn't normally notice.

Honestly, it's really made a difference. I know that probably sounds trite, but I can't begin to say it properly. I hope you have had a very well-deserved good Christmas!

I saved your gift to open on Christmas Day and it made me tear up a little to know someone thought of me. Mumsnet is a very important place for me, and thank you for bringing that into RL!

I am so glad that the parcel arrived, I was beginning to worry it hadn't!

I hope that you and the kids enjoy playing it and that you had a lovely Christmas. It is harder than you can imagine buying a gift for a random mumsnetter and her family!

Merry Christmas! Xmas Smile

Xmas2014SantaC1310 · 27/12/2014 15:53

Dear Xmas2014MN1310

I do hope that all is OK with you? My wee gift to you was 'signed for' at your address on Saturday 6th December, according to Royal Mail.
