I got mine today!! YAY! Thank you! It almost made it for Christmas even though I'd been told it might not... if we'd had mail yesterday I bet I've had had it for Boxing Day!

It's a whole bunch of lovely chocolates (including Green & Blacks minis and Thornton's truffles) and also some Minstrels which I'd forgotten about but used to love to eat when I was at work. I also got a cute cat calendar which will go in my office.

I'm taking a stab here based on the signature, but I think it's from ksand24? ;D

Yep, it was from me :) - glad you like it (and glad you finally got it).

I meant to include a note or a card with it too, but I was rushing to get it sent before the post office closed and I realised afterwards that I hadn't included anything else in there!

Sorry I missed this! I was really struggling the week before Christmas and ended up getting a stupid, horrible cold.

I opened my package Christmas Day and wow! Really lovely. I love the little Buddah and have put him in my bag for good luck! And the pretty blue scarf! I've been thinking I need a new diary, too.

Really excellent prezzie - thank you!
I know I'm late - where's the booze?

I used my Amazon Gift Card from my clever Secret Santa towards this from Amazon.  I plan to fill it with pictures of my family and friends and put it about my couch!  Thanks again vnicepeeps- this will make my house so much homier!!  ;D

Sorry I'm coming in late!! Danielle I'm so glad you liked your gifts, it is always hard to judge someone's tastes so I'm glad I hit the mark. :D

My gift was looooovely! A beautiful wooden candle holder with bloom shaped candles inside, it is so pretty! I opened it up Christmas morning and the boys got to ooh over it with me. :D I love this annual exchange!

Not yet :( I know mine is coming from the US, so I'm wondering if it's stuck in customs or something

Thank you!  :-*

I was really happy at how many people joined in too! I hope we can get even more next year! I had such fun doing it!  ;D

I'm still waiting for my present, but I know it's on its way and I'm looking forward to it!

According to Santa's records, the following people still haven't had their gifts:

chary
cheesebiscuit
equestrianerd
JessicaKate
loveaturtle
NoseOverTail

Is that right?

Yeah!!  Thanks for sharing what you used it for!  I have one of those! Good taste. :)

Yes, thank you chary!!!

Mine has yet to arrive, but I haven't really thought of it.  I look forward to forgetting about it all together (because I will, my brain is like that) and then it arriving at my door unexpectedly!  ;D

Yes, thanks, Chary!

I figured mine is tied up because of the weather, but I have also had packages returned to sender b/c my address got cut off. :-\\\\

NoseOverTail, I've just been informed that your present was posted yesterday so it is definitely on its way!
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!!!

Yes, thanks Chary. I really like participating, even though I hardly post here anymore.

Can I ask who my secret santa was? There wasn't a name on the package  :)
