A big thank you to my Secret Santa for the rechargeable portable phone charger along with Marriott e-gift card. I am aware my Secret Santa went above-and-beyond to make this happen and it is greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas everyone!

I received a few gifts from my Santa, and they were all great!
The survival kit was pretty cool. I really appreciate the thought that went into this gift. I'm really looking forward to trying the Beer Syrup next time I make pancakes!
Thank you!
nicely wrapped!
Cool stuff!

Finally home where my gift was waiting! It contained a Winnipeg t-shirt, assorted Winnipeg chocolates, maple syrup (first time I'll have that on my pancake!), a much-needed travelset of handtools (small scissor, nail clipper/file etc.), a bag of Sumatra coffee and a laminated map of Canada. Really enjoyed the various items, thank you very much Bravada04!

Glad my giftees have received their gifts, and I have received mine. Santa is almost here in Australia, so off to bed. Merry Christmas to all, and many thanks to Santa & Head Elf!

Received an awesome set of gifts from Denmark. Got an awesome model plane, a cool travel book, and an assortment of fun Scandinavian foods (the candied nuts are delicious!). Loved that everything was also individually wrapped. Thank you Secret Santa!!

Thanks very much to hipquest, an AMAZING handcrafted quilt for my baby son, some much needed power travel accessories and and delicious candied pecans with a wonderful spicy kick at end, Also a very touching note about the baby quilt tradition. You went above and beyond and the entire family thanks you!

Received a bunch of packages from Santa a few days ago, sorry that I've not had chance to say thanks so far - firstly as was overwhelmed secondly getting everything into the car and driving across Europe!
Santa was unbelievably generous this year OMG! Deadpool an instant lifetime's favourite film and now I have the monopoly! The aircraft skin keyring are amazingly well thought out and my eldest boy nicked one immediately for his school bag
I let the boys open theirs, as my brother in law and his wife are both Chemistry doctorates it has given them something to do with the boys and explain a fuel cell !! They're super excited
Finally the cook book, I've a lot of respect for Jamie Oliver and his cookbooks are always so easy to follow so this will be well thumbed in the lead up to the better weather
Beautifully wrapped
Fuel cell model kits
Just couldn't wait
Thanks to all the Santas and especially mine who've been so very thoughtful and so very generous
Merry Christmas one and all

Happy dance!!
Gift received yayyy!! Happy dance!
Opened up to find a nice letter that asked me to open after, and a wrapped bag. The nice soft bag is for chargers and doodads, then luggage tags, nail polish, Emory boards, lip balm, gum, and special blingy earrings. What I really loved was the letter, which had a Disney quote (I’m a Disney fanatic) for each purchase and how we could use them between my 5 year old and me. I loved it, and came on a great day! Merry Christmas! Thank you thank you!!
nomadic relief you were my secret Santa, wanted you to know there was still a book coming, just got an email it was delayed, but the rest of yours was delivered!
