Since some of us have mailed things across oceans or borders, it would be a really nice treat if the recipients made a quick post that they'd received the item, whether they open it right away or save it for Christmas. Then the sender would stop worrying the parcel was lost in the mail. Just my wish.

I have another (possible) Secret Santa dilemma!
I just received a delivery from Ebags that contained a fabulous packing cube set. I love it and it's just perfect, but I don't know if it was from my Secret Santa or someone else, like one of my kids who does this all the time. My whole family knows I'm a freak for organizers and travel gear.
It was not gift wrapped, just in a tyvek envelope, there was no gift card, and neither the packing slip nor the label indicated who the sender was.
So if my Secret Santa did send me this, I guess this is my only venue to thank you. So...THANK YOU!! Your gift will definately be put to good use. Sorry I opened it before Christmas but it wasn't wrapped.
If not, I guess I'll hear from whoever sent it when they don't get a thank you from me.
Of course the other possibility is that I ordered it and forgot...

Uh-oh. I think I answered all the questions I had. Did I miss one? The wrist size question I sent about a week ago. Tell Santa to please accept my apologies if I missed one and to resend it if I did. Thank you Santa's Helper!

I am wondering if the person I sent the items to have received the item. My mistake for having to send it without requiring signature..
Hope he did receive it and is pleased with it..

Imagine my sadness upon seeing a parcel, tied with a cute green bow, marked clearly with, "Damaged in transit." 
Fortunately, it was not anything breakable! And I can only imagine it's from an FF Secret Santa who posted it in Malibu.
Squooshed box contains a bunch of cute little cat toy patterns, and some fuzzy novelty yarns with which to make them.
I don't know any cat who would actually wear a hoodie, but the photos in that pattern indicate otherwise! I wonder how many bleeding arms it cost to take those photos? Hehehehe!
Thanks, Santa

I must've been a good girl this year!!! Came home from work today to find a very large box on the porch from UPS. I'd have tried to wait at least a few hours until Mr. Kipper returned home to open the package, but as it said "Fragile," I thought it best not to delay opening it. Ok, ok, so I couldn't wait.
I'm happy to report that all items were undamaged, and also that the dogs were apparently also very good this year!
Santa sent me pint glasses, and several different "yeast samples," aka different beers from several different breweries. Santa also sent me The Johnstown Flood by David McCullough.
Santa also sent 3 Kong squeaker tennis balls and a Kong squeaker toy, both of which the dogs have already started chasing around the house! After a hearty play session, both dogs are curled up on the bed, resting.
Thank you Santa!!!

Good Morning Everyone,
One question, as this is my first year participating...
Are those sending gifts revealing themselves? Due to my living in the UK a customs form will inevitably identify who I am when I send the SS box tomorrow.
Thanks!
