Received a set of 6 Bagail packing cubes with a note that a separate item would be arriving for my wife.

I don't know who my Secret Santa is but sending a big thank you. I have been thinking about moving to using cubes for my trips and this will help me make the move. I've used some cubes in the past but didn't have a complete set. When I head to India on January 13th I will be using these.

Also note the IMG tags aren't necessary if you hit the image button and inserted the URL as it enters the tags for you.

That'll be all

There should be 2 other items arriving today for you as well. Your wife's goodies will be arriving later this week, once I make it to the post office. Mr. Kipper loves his packing cubes, and with your description, I thought they might be useful for you.

Kipper.

Thank you. A package just arrived with Mamushka - Recipies from Ukraine and Easter Europe. We have been leafing through the book and choosing recipies to try. A fantastic opportunity for us to expand our culinary skills.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome. I love Eastern European cooking, and thought I'd share.

I am so glad that you like what Santa picked out for you. I am thrilled with the way that the glasses turned out-this was my first attempt at ordering Secret Santa gifts via Etsy. You and Kipper (another one of my Santees) both got glasses geared to your choice of liquid libation and interests

Thank you so much!

Thank you to Thatguyatthebar for the very generous secret santa gift. Never had a pair of quality headphones before and I must say it was quite the experience listening to my favourite music!

My gifts have arrived and once I've figured out how to upload a picture I will do. Suffice to say, the book was well thought of and the key finder a phenomenal idea!

Mine were wonderful, and are used when we enjoy beer. I just didn't add a photo, as they have first names on them.

I received my Secret Santa gift. It was a nice new shower bag, a multitool, a compression sack, and a lovely touch - some hand / home made pot holders for the kitchen by "Mrs Santa"!. Lovely gift thank you Secret Santa. Sorry they are not wrapped but Customs unwrapped them unceremoniously for me.
