Thank you to my SS, I have left the package closed and am going to open my present on Christmas day. It will probably be one of two presents that I don't know the contents of lol.
I am posting my present to my SS today and will send a PM to the organisers with the tracking number. I hope she likes her present! |

Do we PM the organiser as well as post in here when received, or just 1? Also, do we get confirmation it has arrived in case the recipient forgets to post in here?

Mine arrived yesterday
I'm going to try and wait until Christmas to open it but I'm not sure that I have enough willpower. I've felt it a couple of times and can't pick what it is though! Thank you secret Santa! |
