Thank you wharvey and the rest of the elves for making this happen. Sad to see neither of my SS posted anything here. Perhaps they've been too busy with the new year to bother, but I thought that was part of the fun.

But it gave me a thrill when you did (so thanks!). I've done this for ~8 years and had only two bad santas (sadly one this year) and only a few never post. I am so thankful to Wharvey for all his hard work.

Thank you Lisabeth for the Lush goodies! There was an issue with the first delivery, which never got to me, but the people at Lush were kind enough to ship a replacement gift. I am really happy about how the issue was solved, and can now enjoy all my FT Secret Santa presents.
All the Lush goodies are being put to good use, the chocolates from Laguna1 are long gone (and they were so yummy!), I'm surprised some of the pistachios are still left, the mug has become my favourite for afternoon tea and I will be tackling the Lego set soon
Once again it has been a lovely exchange, thanks to all Secret Santas and Elves out there, and especially to wharvey for the hard work and patience.

Thank you!!
Thank you to the very kind backup Santa who sent me the big box of Lush bath products. I adore Lush and can't wait to jump in the bath!
It is especially generous since you did this as a backup Santa.

Thank you again!
Besides the most awesome Lush gifts, my generous make up Santa also sent three books:
A Lord John book by Diana Gabeldon (perfect bathtub reading while soaking in Lush products)
and two kids books
Qué cosas dice mi abuela
Buenas Noches Luna
Gracias/ Thank You!

A very belated thanks to my mystery SS this year.
The tile is being used on a near daily basis to help locate my keys & both books are looking great on the coffee table in our re-designed living room

Unfortunately some SS gifters ,although signed up , never sent out their gifts. I was one of them that never received one 
... until now...
A BIG THANKYOU to CPH-FLYER for stepping in and being a true Flyertalker
I received some great SS gifts. A great JAL First Class kit and JAL goodies.. The JAL Robe is a MAJOR PLUS....
KIT KAT candy bars are a plus. Strawberry and WASABI
What really surprised me was the time frame. Only took 3 days from Japan to Sweden..Gotta love the post from Japan..
Thanks again to CPH-FLYER...

I got a lovely Secret Santa gift from a Canadian Santa who previously sent me a lovely stash of David's teas! Not sure if Santa knew this, but yesterday was my birthday, and it was so much fun to get a package from Montreal and wonder what was inside. Merci Beaucoup, Santa/Pere Noel!

I am in the same boat so to say. I was also quite dissappointed on how few people in the end have posted photos of the opened gifts as I thought that was a thing to do this year
I love that JAL robe, I didnt know they had those
👍👍
