To my lovely Secret Santa,
You will never know how touched I was to receive your amazing gifts and beautiful card. For you to do something so kind and thoughtful and to go to such trouble for someone you have never met was quite overwhelming. The boys were absolutely chuffed with their gifts as was I. I can only hope that karma pays you back tenfold for your kindness and generosity. Thanks so much, x

Thank you so much for the lovely goodies in my parcel. It was so kind of you to include a little something for me too (that's my favourite place to have a voucher for). The dcs were very chuffed with their gifts and send their thanks too.

So glad you all liked your gifts, I really enjoyed putting it all together.

Bit of a last minute panic around posting though, was worried it wouldn't turn up!

All the best to you and your family for 2015.

I received another incredibly generous gift voucher this morning. Has there been a mistake?
If so, let me know. If not, then thank you so much, it really is wonderful.
Thank you!

Xmas2014MN9636 · 28/12/2014 13:59

Finally I managed to NC to Secret Santa name - so sorry for the delay, but let me now say a proper big thank you to those who nominated me!

First of all I don't even know what I did to deserve such kindness and generosity so I was really surprised when not one, but two packages arrived! Shock Grin
I'm completely humbled that some of you thought I was worthy of these lovely gifts and I'm really grateful, so here it comes:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!Smile

I was very excited to opens the bags on Christmas Day!
I opened the 1st bag and got very emotional finding the gorgeous soft hats someone lovingly crocheted for all 9 of us, what a great idea!
Nice colours for the boys, matching ones for DD and me and all of them fit...it's clear that someone put a lot of thought and effort into making them! As a crafter myself I really appreciate the time spent on them, thank you so much!

there was a box of yummy chocs also, but they won't make it till New Year! Grin

The second bag made me very happy too - here I found a singing teddy toy for BabyZ, and what a perfect replacement for the exact same well-loved toy that is now broken because the kids used it to death!
It's been already licked by BabyZ and he was smiling when hearing the songs - honestly you couldn't have chosen a better-suited gift!
Lovely brushed cotton pyjamas for me as well, very cozy!Smile

I can't ever express just how grateful I am / we are for these amazing gifts that came from the heart, but thank you so much!

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and well done & thank you Santa's Elves in MN tower, you definitely earned yourselves another few glugs of gin! Wink

7046 - sorry I can't name change on my phone.

Sorry your gift came in two parts. I just wasn't sure what I could spare until Christmas had been. Smile

Hope you had a lovely one.

ShewhomustbeEbayed · 28/12/2014 21:04

Dear Mouseface,
I hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas !
I've just just seen your lovely message, thank you.
This is the first year I have done Secret Santa but wanted to give something back and I have been amply rewarded and will definitely do it again.
I am Xmas2014santaB6652 - couldn't change my details, sorry

Thank you so much for my gift, it was very kind and thoughtful of you. I shall enjoy shopping for some new books in the New Year.

I hope you and your family had a very happy Christmas, and thank you once again for thinking of me, it was very much appreciated. Flowers

Thank you so much for nominating me and thank you so much for my delightful christmas gifts, I shed a tear as they were the most thoughtful and lovely and beautifully wrapped christmas presents I received x Sorry but the box they came in was recycled by my husband before I had time to take note of the MN refernce number ..Grin Grin xxx

Thank you so much for my lovely present. I'm so grateful and rather overwhelmed that somebody would take the time and trouble to think of a complete stranger.

It's made me feel very weepy.

Thank you again.

hi .... i received your gift card this morning.... i literally couldn't believe it. thank you SO much. i am having a rotten time of it, i have been sick all through christmas...this really cheered me up so much. i thought they were mistaken when they said i had a gift on the way. you did far too much.... honestly thank you, it means a lot. and i hope you had a lovely time over the holidays :)

bakingtins · 29/12/2014 16:54

A box of Fairtrade goodies arrived for me today and I can only assume a Mumsnet Santa was responsible Xmas Grin
My code was Xmas2014MN9956 but there was no Santa code on the box. Whoever you are - thank you very much, and I hope you had a very happy Christmas.

GoodZingWenceslass · 29/12/2014 17:47

is it just me or you are all getting choked up and feeling fuzzy & warm reading through this thread?
Smile

MyGastIsTinselled · 29/12/2014 17:50

I've just realised I don't think there was a single identifying feature in the parcel I sent, so no wonder no-one has posted a thank you to me!!!

So Xmas2014MN6652 if you received a box with 3 wrapped presents (in purple-y paper) & no identifying info, that was from me (I'm assuming it's ok to post in my 'real' name) Grin

Apologies for the bold, am posting on my phone & don't know how to get rid of it after pasting!

Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts. All three were perfect :-). It made my day to get my Secret Santa gifts. How amazingly generous.

This is to A, I'm not sure if this is in the right box but hope it gets to you. Sorry for very late message, split up with DP over Christmas so have been at sixes and sevens.

That is so unbelievably generous. It made me cry when I read it earlier, it's taken me all day to try and compose a reply and other than Thank you so very much I don't know what to say.
