I sent mine out a few days ago.....I think the only clue as to who I am is my return address, which will probably be more than enough.
Yay! Fun!
I like buying the gifts even more than getting them. Which is a good thing, because as I recall last year, I got a lame one. :P

I got mine yesterday!
First thought when I saw the package: did I order even more stuff online? (I have just discovered online shopping and eBay and am trying not to get addicted)
But then I opened the package and it was giftwrapped with a ribbon and a card, looking very pretty.
And the gift itself was wonderful: a cookbook with yummy pictures and recipe. Looking a bit like food-porn. And everything is in grams and mililitres and degrees celcius, so I can actually use it. If I can figure out how big a cup is, that is.
Thanks very much! :):)
[edit] I tried one of the recipes this weekend, garlic mushrooms and baked potatoes. They were one of the best things I've ever tasted (and my boyfriend was very happy too). But they did contain the amount of fat/butter I'd normally eat in a week so I was feeling a quite full afterwards.

Yay! Mine got in today!
And I love everything! I got a Pirates of the Carribbean card with Cap Jack on it, a bag of candy [a very different type of candy to me, there's nothing like it around here. But I like it!], an air freshener shaped like a Gecko [I don't have a car, though. But that doesn't matter, it's awesome and it's currently stuck to my kitchen window. ], a package of Sesame Street band-aids [which was cool to begin with but makes more sense if you read the card] and a book ["The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time", which is a book I've been meaning to pick up so I was quite overjoyed with that].
Text of the card relating to the Band aids reads: "Because you need something to make you happy when you're hurt." Awww.
Getting the Gecko air freshener was strange as I had a dream a couple of weeks ago that someone gave me a Gecko. I'm glad it just turned out to be a plastic Gecko.
I think I know who the gift was from. Much thanks! Everything is just aces. And the book is the perfect size to carry around, too. Gift=awesome.
