    Ooops! I just ordered the gift through an internet retailer, and I didn't know how to make it a gift shipment. If someone receives something out-of-the-blue, but it's an appropriate item given this thread . . . It's from ME! :D Merry Christmas!

    Don't worry D is just ahead of the game!

    Think a lot of us still have it to do
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I have my present!!! :mrgreen:

    I opened it as I didn't know what it was and wasn't expecting anything....

    THANK YOU DIMITRIS!!!!!

    :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

    My present was incredible, I've even taken some photos:

    SDC14385-1.jpg

    SDC14387-1.jpg

    I received:

    Hundreds of Greek sweets (the package was literally spilling over with them!)
    A box of Ferrero Rocher (one of my favourite treats!)
    A Santa Claus snow globe and bottle stopper (uber cute and Christmassy!)
    A 'Can't find a better... BAND' personalised t-shirt (one for me and one for Dave!)
    A Built To Last Sigg water bottle ( :o:o:o I wanted this SOOOOOO badly!! You should've seen my face when I opened it! :mrgreen: )

    I also got a Christmas card and a gorgeous letter that brought a tear to my eye...

    I really can't believe how lucky I've been. Dimitris you really are one in a million and I can't thank you for your generosity enough. The fact that you included something for Dave speaks volumes about your beautiful and generous spirit.

    I'll make sure Santa brings you something special from the English lands ;)

    Much, MUCH love my wonderful Greek friend :D x x x

    what a fantastic pressie, Sian! muy happy for you. :D dimitris, you rock. 8-)

    oh, tinkerbell and claireack - don't panic. :) the person getting your pressie will love it, I'm sure.

    I was going to ask if we are supposed to post in this thread when we receive our gifts. And that has been answered.
