Aldo,
As we say in Swedish Tusan Tack (1000 thanks)
Well done my Secret Santa SDQBound

David (Flyiboy)

DM sent to wharvey 😁

You are very welcome! Glad you liked your presents, and sorry for the small logistics issue: after the recent terror events, I was required to provide a phone number before the package could be sent, so this is why I had to send you the last-minute request.

No worries.. it seems that sending packages these days require a degree in logistics 😁.. Had a similar situation as well. Again, thankyou.. Happy Travel New Year ✈️🎉

Just recently got a gear vr and love it. Just remember to clean it occasionally (which at points can be a tad tough), otherwise it just gets covered in filth and dirt and ruins the experience.

Hope you like them! (Despite me not even being the santa :p :D)

..Oh, and some people don't know this but you can even stream PC games to them too, which is even more insane.

How To Play PC Games On Your Gear VR Or Google Cardboard (How to Set Up Trinus + Tridef3D) - YouTube

Thanks for the heads up on the PC games. I'm looking forward to trying these out when I return home.

Lisbeth, I'm so happy it was a hit :)

I'm getting antsy....I want to know what's in my packages!!

Maybe next year I should ask santa for patience :D

Christmas is only 2 more days away (well if you open on Christmas Eve anyway-2.75 days if not) so everyone be safe out there traveling and making your final preparations!

My Secret Santa is such a sweetheart! Surprises continue to arrive at my doorstep. So generous not only in spirit but in intent as it's abundantly clear my SS paid close attention to my wish list. Having already received the beautiful Eyewitness guidebook to Paris and a marvelously designed adapter/charger, my SS just keeps on giving! Yesterday a very cool, lightweight cable organizer arrived and I was totally caught off guard - but in a most delightful way! Secret Santa, you have hit it out of the park! Until now and thx to you, I had no Paris guidebook, no adapter/charger, and no cable organizer! "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!" I'm beginning to think I've been a very good little Flyertalker this year! Certainly, SS, you make the season bright! Sending you a huge thank you!

All three of my Secret Santas really hit it out of the park this year! So, many many thanks to you!

lisabeth sent a beautiful set of garden lights -

And mdovenmuehler sent a box of goodies- travel book, coffee, popcorn, artsy stuff - with a few surprises for Goldie as well! (Goldie particularly loves her squeakie!)

And finally, a popcorn addict's delight - nothing I love more than popcorn.... (well, except maybe travel!). I am not sure who sent this -
I think there was a name on the box, but the husband is very good about getting boxes out of the house and into recycling, so I couldn't find the name.
(I only put that little box there to show the size of the popcorn gift - it's huge!)

A big thank you and Happy Holidays!

To my secret santa from California - I just got a delivery exception notification from FedEx. The address I gave is my office - it looks like you may not have included my suite number (#300) on the shipment?

I tried to create a FedEx Delivery Manager account to add the suite number, but it won't allow me to edit anything because this is a commercial address and apparently that service is only available to residential customers.

Are you able to update with the suite number on your end?

Sorry for the mix-up.

Received a wonderful (and wonderfully wrapped!) box of goodies from Milz02315 today!
Chocolate bars and truffles
Scented candle
Two delicious-smelling coffees

Thanks so much!

Santa Redhead thank you very much for my 2 gifts i received...the first box (mug) i was caught off gaurd thinking to myself what did i order from Amazon.com? And to my surprise was my secret santa gift from Redhead! Then my second gift arrived awhile later and again pleasently surprised with the contents? Did you make the earrings? Or the box? I will try to post the pictures

Redhead Dec 22, 2016 5:33 pm

I received 5 books from my secret santa today. 4 Dr Seuss books in Spanish and an Asterix and Obelix one in English. My daughter and I sat down to read right away.

Thanks Santa.

Redhead Dec 22, 2016 6:24 pm

Glad you liked them. I wish I had the talent to make them. Grateful for the talents of Etsy. Happy Holidays!

I just found a note that was apparently attached to my package of coal... It indicated that if I opened it early, it would turn to coal! :D

Now, I'm hoping that the WestPaw toy received from Amazon was part of Schultz's Santa Paws present, or else I opened a present from here that I was really trying to wait to open! :D
