A couple of Secret Santa parcels have already arrived!
Please report here when you receive your gift. Remember, it is up to you if you open your parcel ahead of the day, but please keep the contents a secret. I'll start a thread for pictures of the presents when the time comes.

Hope you can find everything!
My Heavens Monika!!!! Where did you move to?
Forbes Meganne
Lucky you I've always wanted to move to the country, so over Sydney..
Congrats Monika, and what a huge move! Do you have any family "way out west where the rain ☔️ don't fall". Are you on a property, or hobby farm? Love ❤️ Chris
Forbes, WOW!!! What a change! Well I sure do wish you both a wonderful, healthy and happy life in your new country cottage.
Did you buy a property or a house in town?
I much prefer the country to city living but worry about medical services if we moved any further away and there would have to be a bowling alley. LOL!!
Huge hugs, Meg

Mine arrived late last week. It's very difficult to keep looking at that box and not open it! But I'm trying.

Mine was done but I wasn't happy with it, It was ok but ok is not good enough. So I did a do over and much better this time. Now just some assembly required and it will be ready to go. So it's kind of, sort of, almost done. Will finish it to arrive in time

Got a package from FedEx last night. But it was a surprise of another sort, not from my SS.

Do we get to know from who and what was the surprise? Inquiring minds want to know
More teasing!
I bought a Smithsonian toy that was missing pieces for my grandson. I sent them an e-mail asking to purchase the missing pieces, got a response that they would send me the pieces free. The surprise was I received a new toy, not just the missing pieces PLUS a free toy for my troubles.
Awesome. Customer service still alive.

Well this Secret Santa's helper onforwarded an SS gift last Thursday, for another Cutie Sister......... because we are just so very devious. :-)
I still haven't finished making mine, I was just a little slow deciding what to make, but one more day should see it done and ready for posting before the weekend.
I'm so looking forward to seeing all the wonderful, creative gifts that our Cute SS's come up with.
Hugs n blessings to all.

My SS can start breathing again my gift arrived last night in the late post. I did open as per your request and love it! Marian

Santa's helper, a man wearing a yellow jacket, riding a red motor scooter, (looking suspiciously like an Australia Post delivery man) dropped my gift on our front veranda late yesterday.
I have resisted the temptation to open it, only going so far as removing it from the yellow express post satchel. It is now sitting under our tree where our cat Tao is showing a very great interest in the pretty bow on top. :-)
Thank you my Cute Secret Santa, I know I will love it no matter what it is because I know it was made with much love and aforethought. :-)

There are 7 gifts not yet reported as having been received. I do know that one of them has gone astray in the postal system, but I suspect that some of the 7 have arrived safely but not been posted as received. Two more days for them to arrive and three more sleeps to open them. (Did you all hear that?!)
