no and YES!
I found it so hard not to leave any hints when I sent my gift off and then even harder when she wrote her thank you post to me But then I also found it quite hard to not know who sent me my fantastic gifts, I really wanted to thank her because they were so just perfect and it was so wonderful to get them But then I keep telling myself that it is the magic called Santa and if we knew who Santa was then it wouldnt be magic ------------- http://tickers.families.com">

I'm with you Rach!!! Particularly cause my one came from someone in Palmy (ie someone i have met!). I think there's only 3 or 4 possibilities and I still can't figure it - not much clue cause she pretty much got me what was on my list ROFL!!
My SS recipient is online tonight... ------------- |

I'd kinda like to know...I have a very small idea (due to return address) but theres heaps of auckland ladies so I'm probably wrong. I'm sure mine must know who I am, as I'm from a small town  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

See I think if you had a sneaky SS, they might have put someone else's return address. Mine was from Welly...
And Teresa, your SS may have sent the pressie to one of the other palmy ladies to pass on just to mess with you! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I have no idea who mine is and I couldn't read the handwriting on the return address, well not the bit with the abbreviation for the town anyway, could read the street.
I think my SS could easily work who I was if they felt like it, I left many a clue. (is not anyway in this thread) -------------

hehe I was wondering if some ppl PMed Janine and weren't on the public list.... sneaky in a way!!
Aimee - the idea has definitely crossed my mind. DH saw someone drop it off so I showed him the photos from the Palmy meetups and he denies EVERYONE!!! Gah!  I also wondered if someone got a friend to deliver it. Whoever delivered it knew what it was about cause when she saw DH at the window she swore and scurried away hahaha cracks me up
And yea I sneakily swapped return addresses ------------- |

| hehe i didnt use my return address either just to be sneaky but if my ss wants to tell me who it was thats cool, would be nice to thank them again, in fact im sitting here after my shower and have just used all the stuff on my feet so Im smelling good from head to toe! oh and Im happy to tell if my recipient wants to know. |

I don't know who mine was and there was no postage stamp to say where it was sent fom.
I opened mine why wait |

Mine was the same, no address or even a post mark. Opened straight away, I've been smelling of Body Shop White Musk for the last few weeks. mmmmm Bliss! I wanted mine to know when she got it, but now I don't really care if she knows or not. I think its lovely to get something as a surprise from someone I haven't met. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Oh Well does that mean you know who Kebekat had or was it from you? If a Palmy mum, only you or Janine or Liz that I know... I thought of Andie first but I don't think she did SS ------------- |

He he I still haven't recieved mine, and I don't think I will be now, I am going to blame NZ post, as apparently it was sent on the 1st of dec, so of course I trawled the SS threads to see who posted around then...(cos I am nosy!) ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

i wasnt very secret either i'm afraid.
i put something else in the package that we had talked about on another forum we both frequent so that i could save on postage... 
mine had me guessing, but she let the cat out of the bag tonight and i had sooo guessed it wrong. she was tricky and had used someone elses address! ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I know who my SS was (seeing as she signed her name on the card, lol Emma!!). I'm quite happy to tell my SS receiver if she wants to know but she so far hasn't posted in here. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't guess as I didn't put a return address on it. Not sure about a poststamp thing though as if there was one on there then I'm the only person from Cambridge on here ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

lolol..I am sure my ss has me pegged as some other person due to one of the pressies i sent her. I soo nearly wrote my name on the courier bag, wrote the "Ja" part of Janine, then remembered and turned the J into an S and made it say santa claus. lololol. I think i managed to throw her off the scent a bit. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
