    I've gotten both my gifts now. If i wasn't known as a crazy dog person before i certainly am now! Nelson's gift was addressed to him anf i live in a village where there are no numbers on houses so most my neighbours were asked if they knew a nelson my surname. Very funny looks i got when i told the postwoman nelson was a dog!

    I think it might be a good idea any year after this to put c/o the persons name, just to avoid confusion like that :P

    Indeed! I wrapped my outer in brown paper for sturdiness but it wasn't nearly as festive as the one that we received.

    Roisins Parcel here safe and sound. Unwrapped the outer packaging and had it sitting there all festive looking till Poppy wandered over and actually lifted the lid by herself and tried to have a nose. Pressie is now safely upstairs in an unused bedroom :P :P :P

    Squeaks arrived today as well and now both their prezzies have been put out of reach of both of them. Kovu is a demon for wrapping paper, he drags it off into mums locker and shreds it before burrowing under it and going to sleep :D

    Okay so according to my records, all packages have now been send, and 37/50 have arrived. I'd imagine the remainder will arrive early next week or I just haven't been told if they have arrived but I do think it's quite successful again this year thus far!

    If I know anything of one of your secret santa's, the wrapping paper inside will not be so neat :P

    I wrapped my gift to a certain cat in xmas paper and then put about half a roll of sellotape around it, I hope it will be ok in the post ,
    Really looking fwd to it this year, my mum died xmas 2012 and then we had a house fire last year and only moved back on the 24th Dec so we didn't enter. Thanks SillyMango.
