Ok - so i think i have cunningly worked out who my SS was (by remembering previous posts by the member and the clues she left on the labels)
I can't remember what happened last year but do we ever 'reveal' ourselves or is it kept secret forver  ------------- |

I dont think it was really officially revealed last year but there may have been people revealed them selves, if they wanted to and their secret santa wanted them to know, privately.
I would love to reveal myself to my secret santa but I am worried she mayu not want to know. I have no idea who mine was from..... someone in Auckland...  Who ever they are, they're awesome though! -------------

I don't mind 'coming clean' about who I bought for and I don't mind knowing who mine was either - but won't be upset if they don't want to tell. -------------

| I like the idea of it staying a "secret" santa personally and wouldn't have done it if it was gonna be revealed. This is my 3rd year doing it and I don't think the first 2 would have known it was me and dunno what this years one thinks lol. |

I think mine guessed it was me... hasn't been confirmed though!
I wouldn't mind either way, it would be nice to say thank you to them

The previous years we have done it we haven't revealed. That is the way secret santa is done. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I loved my pressie so I'd like to thank my SS properly, but I also love the idea that it's to stay secret, so if my SS wants to PM me, that's fine

I put a return address on mine and so it wouldn't take too long for my SS recieptent to guess it was me.
I do lik e the secret part too but if my SS wants me to know its them I would be fine with that too. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Nope kate that wasnt me chicken! I thought my clue was pretty easy last year, would have been pretty easy to narrow it down I think...
Though sending baby dust to you last year was a very nice gesture from your SS hun. -------------

My secrest santa was not-so-secret, she revealed herself when she sent her present (which was very awesome).
Talking about the baby dust, part of my gift was some parsley seeds (based on the old wives' tale that you should give parsley plants to ladies TTC), and a week or so later I got my BFP... I totally contribute it to the parsley
I don't think the person I had will even know who I am - I didn't know her till I got her and looked her up - so I don't really mind if she doesn't know who I am (although would happily come forward if she wanted to know). -------------
