Forgot to say I posted mine from Russell Square Post Office last Thursday before the mad dash to the DHL depot to ship home 2 weeks worth of clothes shopping and research before I had to get onto a plane to get home.
That PO Box you needed an address for wasnt me was it? (been having puter problems)

Well.... Santa was on the receiving end of a great gift!
It apparently arrived yesterday while I was out delivering my gifts. I just saw it on the porch as we left today.
What great gifts! A Planes, Trains and Automobiles theme.... thanks to my New York Santa for the models.

Just a friendly reminder... please send me a private message when you ship your gift... please make sure you tell me what FTer you mailed your gift to if you have more than one FTer this year.

Thank You!
My AK Secret Santa left me speechless. 
First...well...I couldn't speak because I was stuffing my face with the Alaska Fruit Chocolates! Then I started thinking of all the uses for the really neat Ulu knife. The book was just icing on the cake, I still hope to see the Northern Lights for myself some day! Thanks again!

Thank you Santa!
I love the gift certificate to Williams-Sonoma! It fits perfectly!
I needed to use some vacation days before the end of the year, so I took the day off today. Woke up this morning to about 1' of fresh, powdery snow , lit the fireplace, prepared a big mug of hot cocoa (with marshmallows, of course!), sorted through the mail that has been waiting since we returned from vacation recently, and there was your package!
I am going to have so much fun shopping today!
Sincerely,
Flygirl555
PS - My SS will receive part of their gift this week. The second part will be delivered each month all next year! Enjoy!

Thank you to my SS! The wine glasses and cookbook will be put to good use! ^
Now I have a good reason to post in the "bugger I am drunk" thread!

But I can't type very well just now; my cat is resting his chin on my right wrist.

no right or wrong, totally up to the gifter on what they do. Some of my stuff was amazon and they leave the purchasers name and address so its a giveaway, if the recipient knows my real name (vs a handle on FT)

Shortly after getting home from work today, DHL delivered a package labeled "Adult Signature Required." My Secret Santa sent me "yeast samples," which I didn't know I could receive in PA. I didn't realize you could ship beer to PA now.
I'm very thrilled with the beers, as I've never had any of them! One especially sounds very, very yummy--it combines two of my favorite things--coffee and beer. It's Vanilla Java Porter and I can't wait to open it later tonight! Thank you Secret Santa!
