The Amazons, B&Ns, do put the shipper's name address on stuff
|
I got home last night to find a package from my Santa.
I received a wonderful assortment of Starbucks items including coffee beans, an iced coffee drink, a bottled Frappachino, a Starbucks travel mug, and a gift card. I also was given a subscription to Coastal Living magazine. Wonderful gifts, thank you very much!! :) ...and thank you to wharvey for organizing this again. ^ |
I received my gift from second SS, this one from Lovettsville, VA, and I couldn't stand it any more. Thank you Lovettsville for the pottery. I really like it.
To my Sunnyvale Santa - I couldn't wait another day so I opened yours too. Thank you for the pottery, but even more, thank you that you honored the spirit of my wishes. I am very pleased with both gifts ! |

Sometimes you can; sometimes you can't.
It wasn't very hard to figure out! :D Thank you SS! ^ I hope all the Santa's (both the real one and all the other helpers - secret or otherwise) enjoy the holidays wherever their travels take them! :) (Or for that matter, don't take them! :D) |

I sent my SS a thank-you note expressing my joy of all the Xmas movie dvds I received to the name/address on the shipping form, but I had no clue on who the person is because name didn't seem to resemble a handle. I even thought of looking at locations under people's handles on FT to try & figure it out, but when I saw in the first post the gazillion people who had actually signed up for FT SS & hasn't really posted on the thread I gave it up, and just decided to enjoy it w/o knowing. Same thing a couple of years ago. Cheers.

I sure wish my recipient would post that the gift arrived in intact. Tracking shows delivery on Dec 4 :confused: |

just came home from a week out of town.. to 2 happy presents from red envelope, courtesy of a SS! ;)

Oooooh, I am so excited! I just received my SS presents! Yes, I said presents! My SS went thru a lot of work spying on me, it seems as SS hit the nail on the head! Ok for all u jealous lurkers out there (next yr?): A Starbucks' gift card (yeh!), 8, yes I said 8 RCC drink chits (hiccup!), some wasabi flavored peas (a fun touch!), and 2 very nice travel guides: Frommer's Southeast Asia, and Lonely Planet Malaysia & Singaport "for people who live to eat, drink & travel"! (Me?!! yes!). After my first MR that I returned from yesterday, my husband took me to Straits on Santana Row in San Jose, CA (also one in SF) for Asian fusion cuisine. Oh, almost forgot as I am downloading my blues cd to my ipod as I write this--think I am hearing Albert King on one of the tracks. I love it! This SS has got to be the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sandy

OK... Super Santa wants to let some people know... and you know WHO you are... that I mailed out your gifts today on your behalf... :D
For everyone else, some people wanted to send their gifts to me to mail... so that their local post office did not show up on their package... they wanted major surprise.... Santa has NO choice but to help them out.... :) |
Thanks to my Secret Santa - the DVD series Planet Earth from the BBC (which I had been coveting) was waiting for me when I finally got home this weekend.
I will be fedexing a gift tomorrow to my giftee. Thanks William for all your efforts! |
Thanks to one of my SS for the book and blender ... interesting combo but will put both to good use. :)

I'm very thrilled with the beers, as I've never had any of them! :D One especially sounds very, very yummy--it combines two of my favorite things--coffee and beer. :D It's Vanilla Java Porter and I can't wait to open it later tonight! Thank you Secret Santa! |
My two SS gifts are going out tomorrow morning by priority mail. I hope the recipients enjoy them. :)
I've received one SS gift. Thank you very much for the Chinese art book. ^ |
