Heh heh...serves you right for trying to send 10 pounds of lead through the mail http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Same here. I should have bought UPS stock when they offered it to me. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Woo hoo! Santa (and he/she is still secret) struck today.

What a LOVELY gift... it will be fabulous in my new home. Very cool to get something I have always wanted but hadn't been able to bring myself to buy. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

What dud you receive? Looking for some help myself.

Well this santa was a bad santa and forgot/didn't think about customs tags for the overseas package. The post office, of course, returned said package to me several days later.

I notified the santee that it may arrive after Christmas...

Again, many thanks to William for helping set this up!

[/quote]Oh, my Secret Santa strikes again... this time from Westchester, NY! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'm on to you now Santa... you keep leaving clues. Now if I can only figure what I can do with the 'dancing with rabbits' piece of info!!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I have gotten two postcards from my Secret Santa and have no idea who they are. I THINK they are from Southern California as the postcards have a Los Angeles and Marina Del Ray Postal Mark.

Can't wait to find out who it is!

Thanks Santa MakinMiles.

I received my gift when I arrived home yesterday! MMMMMMMMMMM CHOCOLATE!!!

Thanks to everybody for participating and for posting via e-mail when shipping or receiving.

There are still a fairly large number of people I have not heard from with shipping notices. If you can please just drop a brief note when you do ship, we can make sure everybody receives their gifts on time.

Thanks and Happy Holidays to All

Santa's Helper

Chexfan,

There are other Flyertalkers that live in Westchester County. Hmmm. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tongue.gif

Secret Santa struck again today! The first postcard was one from Hawaii, the second one was one from Israel, and the postcard today was from Quebec. I am 99.9% sure my Santa is a female because of the handwriting. It is simply to neat to be a guys http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif.

Can't wait to find out who it is!

My secret santa struck yesterday and we will be enjoying our treats through the "festive period". My taller half is way excited to help sample and is quite impressed by my secret santa's taste! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks!

Roofle! I got fine wine in the mail today, courtesy of auh2o (I think!). Regardless, thank you magic donkey!

And thank you for addressing it with my title at the end of my name, USM.

At first, I figured that "Fine Wine" would be wasted on Nick...

But then I saw the names... how appropriate!!

William

This is true. This is the first time I've had wine that doesn't say "MadDog 20/20". http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Although a certain female San Franciscan didn't reveal herself http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif ... I received my literary gift earlier this week! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

Many thanks to my Secret Santa for the wonderful Concorde gifts that I received today. They are a great reminder of my two trips on Concorde last year and this past summer, I will enjoy them very much.

Thanks again!

Secret Santa is helping me out with my "down under" trip!!!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

You rock secret santa! Nothing like Body Armour. Will come in very handy and it was even on my list. Drop me an email when you get a chance.

Jet'Dillo and Feorlen would like to thank our Secret Santa! We aren't exactly sure the FT handle of our Santa, but the return address says "Stefanie" from Dickinson, North Dakota.

We are now the proud owners of a treasure trove of goodies from the (snowy?) midwest. The "People Chow" is great! And now we know where sunflower seeds come from, too. We're now all set for a winter's worth of North Dakota fun! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Thanks for leaving out the side of beef. Much as we are both meat fans, we wouldn't have a place to put it as your freezer is probably about the size of our apartment here in the city.

I was surprised with a box when I got back into town this evening. I received some great stuff for my upcoming HK trip in February thanks to my secret santa. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

He had to know he was on the right track with a book sub-titled "for people who live to eat, drink & travel" on the cover!!

I would REALLY like to thank my secret santa! I have recieved some more postcards from them from Moscow, aboard the QE2, Las Vegas, and Quebec! I know that they are reading this and would like to thank them here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Can't wait to find out who it is!

My Secret Santa's present is obviously a lesson in "the gift of patience"....... nothing yet http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

Thank you, Secret Santa, for a most
thoughtful gift.

I just received a gift from my Secret Santa, JAXFlier. Thank you so much Steve, you made great selections.

Packed inside a beautiful Pottery Barn wine bag was a Special Edition DVD of the movie Punch Drunk Love.(For those that don't know, part of this movie was based on the frequent flyer mileage collecting exploits of fellow FTer PuddingGuy). I haven't seen the movie yet and will watch it soon.

JAXFlier also sent along some very useful coupons that I will use on an upcoming UAL flight.

Thanks again Steve


Jay

ditto.

Santa's helper received his gift today. Got word from my mom, but will actually open the gift on 12/25 when I see her. So for now, let me say, "Thank You Secret Santa", whoever you may be. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Mine did great! Sent me a "cold" e-mail saying he was coming to PHX, and could I recommend my favorite ethic restaurants (something I listed as a favorite). I fell hook, line, sinker, and got a very nice gift certificate for a wonderful Greek place last week. Great job, great fun!

JP

This morning on my doorstep I found a box containing an abundance of high-end foodie stuff.

This is one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received. Each item was something extra, extra unique and I would not have found on my own. Pralus french melting chocolate, tuna rub, Bayou dressing. It was obvious someone had to go far out of there way to find such items. The restaurant diary was the best. And the amenity kit and origin gift certs. Oh, and the cheese grater I thought was a shop tool at first - I loved it!

Thank you FT SS whoever you are. Clues: Return Address was in Seattle, WA and my address was written on the plain side of a piece of paper from the Heathman Hotel in Portland, OR?

I just wanted to thank my Secret Santa.


Very Clever http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I got a FABULOUS set of bath products from Philosophy. Chocolate scented shampoo even! If I start chewing on my hair at an FT event, you'll know why! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks Santa!!

My Secret Santa struck this weekend...from metropolitan Las Vegas. My package had a number of fun gadgets, including an AM/FM radio in a pen! I had no idea that such a thing even existed! It's a pen hooked up to two little earpieces which are similar to those in a hands-free mobile phone earpiece. I'm dreaming of figuring how to use it in my next boring meeting....

Thanks Santa!!

Santa wants to wish all his helpers and Secret Santa a fantastic holdiday season.

I am about ready to start up the sleigh and take it to Cambridge (Boston) for Christmas Eve.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Secret Santa gifts... and those of us who have not received our yet, they are all in the mail!!!

HO HO HO

Santa

I got a subscription to my very favorite horsey magazine! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

Thank you, Liz!!

Sounds like some of you did ok.

I thought I would keep quiet here so my giftee wouldn't find out.. But I can't anymore..

I want to thank my Secret Santa for the great gift-package I recieved! It was greatly appreciated and suitingly enough, the book you sent me contained a story about a trip to Finland. This meant I could start read out loud right away to my girlfriend & friends. Thanks!
The pudding though hasn't been eaten yet, I am still looking for someone to eat it with me..

So, thank you!

GOT MY GIFT TODAY!!!!!!!

It was a great gift basket from Wine County Gift Baskets of Fullerton, California. Inside the basket it was a 'Taste of Italy' and included food items one would see in Italy! This is great and will definetly get me ready for my upcoming trip to Italy in March!

I would really like to thank my Secret Santa. They made this experience fun and VERY enjoyable. I have their real name and mailing address, but I was wondering what their Flyertalk handle is.

I would like to thank William and Mike for running this great experience.

I would REALLY like to thank my Secret Santa once again for all the postcards they sent and the gift basket. It is VERY much appreciated!
