All gifts are shipped! Unfortunately, one of my packages (half of the international one) was returned a few days later, so I just resent something else. So my international shipping didn't work out--had to use two different local sellers.

Both items are now shipped.
If you live in RI or TX keep your eyes out for a package from a cold Canadian!

Dear Santa,
Thank you for the book! I can't wait to start reading it!
I don't know if this goes along with the gift card from the local brewery, or if this is from a different Santa.

Since there was a hint that the second part of the gift was partially perishable, and it is now the 1st of December, I opened the first gifts. A gin that I have not tried before, and some very nice looking おつまみ, snacks for the drinks, from Yamagata prefecture, made with Yonezawa wagyu. Incidentally, Yamagata Prefecture is my preferred area for Japanese beef. Looking to trying both the gin and the snacks. Thank you so much, amazingly well selected gifts.
(PS, gin was shipped by Amazon, it just kind of looked on the outside as a recycling as there apart from the actual box was no indication that amazon was the dispatching entity)

I received my Secret Santa package today from Tokyo!
I opened up a nice Japan themed Christmas Card that is up in the living room. I am going to wait for my gift that I put underneath the tree.......I am guessing it is a golf shirt!
....I won't know until Christmas Eve!!!
Thank You Secret Santa!
Plus I sent my gift out on the weekend on it's way to Rhode Island!

According to the various shippers, 3 gifts are out for delivery. 1 is still on its way, but at least this is local shipping only, so not too worried about that one.

Thanks Santa
Firstly, thanks to Jesper for this parcel of spa goodies which arrived a few minutes ago and which I’ll open properly on Christmas Day. I’ll definitely be in need of them after a few days with my mother in law :-)

Thanks Gsegall
Thanks for the fabulous haul of peppermint candy :-) and the dog toy which Harper and Bailey will enjoy. My husbands words when I told him were you’d best hide it so I don’t eat it all before Christmas 🤣

Thank you to my US Secret Santa - received parcel from Harrods early this morning before I had to dash out, and only just got home to open the box
- not going to open it any more and will save it until Christmas.
