Thanks, Zap, I'm so tickled you like the bracelet!

I was Vivas Secret Santa Elf! It was so fun to pick out the socks and especially the pink details for the clutch zipper & the lining!

My secret santa was very stealth....so I do not know....

Thank you Susie! I wore both my scarf and polish today! I was Pil's elf! Pil, when I gathered those leaves, they were brilliant yellow, it wasn't until I mailed the package that it dawned on me that they might not be so brilliant on opening day! I'm glad they were still yellow at least!

Amy, so glad I guessed right! There was something about these presents that just said your name to me. I love that I was able to guess!

Thank you so much! I wore "your" scarf today!! And Mr. Suz thought it looked great. I will post a photo soon.

I was Debbie's secret Santa. The Theo chocolate is made in my neighborhood.

Anna I thought it was you! Hope you are feeling better! That chocolate is delicious and the clutch is being used this weekend. Hugs!

A big hello and thank you to my "Emily" elf, I love my present and I sent my secret elf gift all the way to the UK to Diane G

Vonnie, thank you! I've been wearing my earrings every day since opening them and loved the added surprise of the ginkgo leaves!

I was Tracina's Secret Santa. I am still waiting patiently for my gift. Sorry Santa!

I almost guessed Ceit was my Santa! Great gifts (I've used bag and worn earrings this week!) I had seen Canada on the parcel and before I could hide more of the return address I admit I saw a "K" which sort of clued me in. Thank you so much.

I was Inge's Secret Santa and so nervous to find something suitable for her fabness.

Yup, I was Susie's Secret Santa. I had hoped you wouldn't be able to guess me. Next year I need to work on being more stealthy.

I think my Secret Santa was CitygirlDC.

Thank you Astrid. I would have NEVER guessed correctly. I am still enjoying my boot socks!

My Secret Santa beneficiary was Annagybe. She was correct that I was quite nervous sending my gift. I wasn't sure I had a good read on her style preferences.

Manidipa was my Santa, as she disclosed earlier, and a wonderful job she did selecting my gifts!

I was JulieJohn's Santa, and I had such fun finding treats for her. It's especially fun when you've had the pleasure of meeting the recipient in real life!

Day Vies, it was my pleasure! I'm glad they're useful.

Kristen, I thought I remembered that you live in Georgia so that's why you were my guess. I love my presents...thank you so much!

rholmes27… thank you! And I had no idea you lived so close (in the world of YLF that is).

I was Diana's Secret Santa!

Santa finally found NZ and I was, happily, londonkiwi's, Fiona's, secret shopper. This was my first time participating and I was hovering over the Elfster site, like an expectant mother (which I've never been), waiting for the "delivery."

This has been so much fun and I just found out that, Deborah, was my Santa, and I couldn't be happier, with my new belt, and the fact that she sent it! Thank you, Deborah!!

Denise, thank you!!! I love my new belt.

Caro! I had no idea that my Secret Santa was actually in Australia. Did you mail the package to a friend in the US, or were you visiting here? I am wearing the earrings today, BTW Thank you so much!

Crazyone it was all down to the power of Etsy The seller was really helpful. Glad you liked them; if she had another pair I would have bought them too.

Thanks, MaryK! You were a fab elf-I love the hat!

I was Astrid's elf! Other than not putting my name on the package, I hoped that I was hidden a little by the fact that I'd just moved. I had a lot of fun using her wish list as inspiration (and reason) to explore Edinburgh's shopping districts.

Ooh, thanks Froggiebecky! And it totally worked because I had no clue...

Oooh Jeanne!!! I've been SOOO curious to find out who my fabulous Secret Santa was!! And there really was no reason to be nervous at all. I absolutely love my brilliant new scarf, the wonderful earrings and the fun shopping tote (have been using it all week, and think of you each time). From the beautiful gift wrap, the fun card (and very sweet message) and all the thoughtfulness and attention that went into it, your prezzie makes me so happy. Thank you again, so much!

Happy hugs!!

Inge

MaryK - I'm sorry the Belgian Post Office didn't let me hide my identity:-) But I'm just so chuffed that you love the scarf, and your enthusiasm and sweet words will keep me smiling all day!

Perhaps we need to set up a chocolate supply line?-)

Big hugs for you too!!

I'm still wondering who my Santa was. All I know is they were from Australia. There aren't that many and I see some Aussie ladies have already replied on here. Mystified...

Ah, Janet, you were my Santa, of course! I forgot you are a Marylander, duh! I was totally stumped. Man, I love the gifts so much, thank you! By the way, that Maryland tea is deeeeelish. I love Tazo too, and will nom nom my way through that lovely pack. Now I can think of you and your kindness, fantastic mind, and chic style every time I use my prezzies. I will have to put together a tribute outfit featuring the galaxy necklace. YEAH!

I was Nicole D's Santa, and I fear I didn't play along right. My only excuse is it's my first time. I signed my name to the note inside the package, oops! Nicole, I loved your photos of yourself enjoying the book in front of your Christmas tree, so adorable and such beautiful decorations! You are a fun lady with a killer sense of style.

I wasn't available for the big reveal, been without internet.
I wasn't too worried since I knew my secret was out. I had the joy of being the very compassionate and artistic Hil's santa.
Thanks so much for the doggie Paw earrings Bella, I love them.

Hi Diane G I was you secret santa

I just posted this on elfster, but I wanted to post it here as well so that my secret elf can see it:

Dear elf,
I wanted to thank you for your kind present. Yesterday, I finally received a note that your gift has arrived but is being held at customs. My husband went to claim it for me, but he was told that because the package contains cosmetics, and it is illegal to bring cosmetics into the county via post (something to do with trade restrictions, I think), they will not release the package. My husband also wanted to see if there was a card that he could at least take home but he couldn't do that either. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of such customs laws and I couldn't warn you ahead of time. In any case, I am very sorry that your gift could not make it to me. But I want to let you know your kind thoughts are very much appreciated anyway. I hope now you can reveal your identity dear Elf. Best wishes!

Debra, I've only just come back to this thread after two really busy days with very little YLF time. Thank you so much for my gift, I love the scarf and The Paw Paw ointment has already cured my sons chapped knuckles

You are most welcome, it is also fantastic if you burn yourself, glad you like the scarf, it was fun selecting
