*clears throat and takes a sip of Schlor*

Ladies and Funkyone, is is time for the grand opening of our eagerly anticipated OT Secret Santa Opening!! *round of applause from all*

I am happy to report we only appear to have 7 people who have yet to receive, this is amazing considering we have a whopping 61 participants!! So each and every one of you, give yourself a huge festive pat on the back!!

For those that have not received, please do not fear, this has been a busy week for royal mail and I have spoken to the lovley people at the sorting office when collecting parcels myself and they are working flat out, first class is taking 5plus working days to be delivered in some areas due to the popularity of online shopping! Please add in your photos when you receive!! all your SS will be contacted to ensure they have been posted..

ANYWAY........lets get on with the unwrapping!!! It would be nice to flash a before pic of your gift all wrapped and an after of the present unwrapped! Plus anything else you would like to say to your SS!! There will be a reveal thread for those that would like to know who posted theirs..if people want this that is?!

I will kick off..now i did not offer to organise this secret santa to receive any kind of gift, I offered as I thought id have less to do at work due to having a replacement by now and taking things easy (ha! those that know will understand this has not been the case!!!) so imagine my surprise when a large box was delivered earlier on in the week!! Once opened, i noted a card and saw 4 lovely gifts awaiting me!! a surprise for an 8mth pregnant women=tears and over emotion-ness so a great big thank you to ATB for making THE most amazing card ever and for anyone who was involved in this little surprise!!!

here is the before:


and after opening..well..someone knows me VERY well as i have a selection of amazing Benefit make up products and a much needed large make up bag, I cannot tell you how much I love this, especially with baby flow here soon and knowing all my pennies will be going on them and not lovely treats like this Smiley smile so thank you thank you thank you naughty hitchers!!! ❤️


So, over to you follks! I know some of us arnt around this evening (I have a pic of peanut L&Ls gift) and also Claire lous out and mrs imps on honeymoon..so pictures will be flashed tomorrow too!!

    I got The Great British Bake Off cookbook! Thank you so much Secret Santa ? Some of the recipes look amazing, I particularly like the look of the zebra cake.

    Got the before photo working. Had to steal the after pic from Google. Woah, they're huge. Sorry.

    Oooh this was so much fun!!

    Mine before opening:


    came with a lovely card as well.

    After opening:


    I am a happy SS participant. I had said that photo frames were always welcome since we'd like some wedding photos put up. The little blue thing is a snowman smellie - again, lovely.

    To my SS - thank you. This pic will be cropped to go in the frame and it will look lovely on the bedside table:

    Before:


    After - a lovely little Radley purse with it's own bag and everyfink! Totally fits the bill as it's exactly the kind of thing I wouldn't simply buy for myself. I already have in mind to have it on honeymoon with us for little coinages (and lip balm!) THANK YOU SECRET SANTA!
