Box number two from Secret Santa...(no username provided)
include purchase instructions for a bourbon I've not heard of before, as well as Tommy Bahama bottle opener and a US Sock Collection... Tommy Bahama is one of my favorite brands so it's going directly to my bar for display. Also can't wait to rock the socks. Thank you.

Box no 3, from another secret santa (no username, just real name provided)
Thank you for the Daytona Cup, I'll take it to my office and use it daily for my espressos. I don't cook a lot but the next time I do, can't wait to use the bourbon salt&pepper. The keychain is going on my carry on.
Thank you.

I came home from being in NYC for a few days and had a couple of boxes from one of my SS. A very nice book and a nicely mounted wall map of N. Carolina coast from 1862. Interesting how some things have changed in 150 years. I have a picture of my daughter and I searching for sea shells when she was like 5 years old on a Carolina beach that this map will go with. Thanks to my SS.

This is my first year on SS. I sent my parcel last Friday and got notification from the courier that it was delivered yesterday (4 days from UK to USA is pretty good).
Only issue is that the person that signed for it had a different name to who should have got it, so hopefully its just someone else at that address.

As I was making the final touches on my Toronto shipment for Secret Santa, DHL knocked on my door with a gift directly from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK!
I couldn’t have wished for a better Secret Santa! Thank you Jessica for this very special and generous gift!
The package included a print from a local artist, a photo book from Sheffield, a bottle of Henderson’s Relish (can’t wait to splash some on some chips!), a wonderful book from the Victoria and Albert Museum on Tom Walker exhibition and a Architecture LEGO of London!
Now I just want to take the next flight to London and discover the se rest of England! Now I just need to make sure my boyfriend don’t start the LEGO without me!

I received a package of nicely wrapped gifts from A. Timm (I think that's a real name). Contrary to my usual nature, and since I'm trying to teach delayed gratification to my 6yo, I put the wrapped presents under the tree. Will post once I open them! Thank you

To my two Secret Santas whose gifts I've received, thank you!
SandraTravels, thank you for the books. I hope I have time to read them soon.
To my SS from UK, who I guess is npturner, thank you. You really put a lot of effort into your gift. If you sign up again next year, I won't mind if you pick me as your giftee
I'll try to post some pics of my gifts, but it might not bee till next week.

You're welcome, I tried to keep to your preferences and also put a British twist on it :-)

well this is intresting but either I just received a secret santa gift or I ordered double 😂
if a secret santa sent me a Zendure Super mini, Super port and a supercord then thank you VERY MUCH 😁😃
as luck would have it I also ordered the same items myself but I am very pleased with them so I will be able tp use these as well 👍
there was no note in the package nor anytjing to identify this as a secret santa gift so I am assuming it is I guess I will know soon enough 😃

I have sent you two parcels , but only one managed to let me write a short note, so you may have already received one (from Scotland) without any reference. A long story short but blame the Royal Mail for wanting to charge £48 for shipping the original gifts I had bought and a bit of a panic to get replacements found and shipped in time. In any case neither of them are a duplicate of what you’d already ordered :-)

so no sooner had I posted about package #1 when the courier brought me a package at my door that enticingly enough said PERFECT BREW on the side. I commented to him are you trying to get me drunk which confused him until I pointed to the side text  28515;
the bottom was wet so I was worried that the context was compromised but
inside were 24 assorted brews for me to sample
what a home run this was as I never buy these myself but intead go with the bulk assortments I will test one today and then over christmas holiday I will be sure to enjoy them all.
thank you secret santa
wow just wow  29392; 28513;
