His parcel arrived damaged and he is trying to figure out if anything was missing."
The only damage was that the envelope's flap was not 100% secure.
I just posted the contents and hopefully my Secret Santa would contact me via personal message here to confirm if they are all accounted for or not.
Another reason was that there is no confirmation whether it is my Secret Santa or not.
Many thanks for reaching out to me as when I was about to message you! It was and still is much appreciated!

Can we keep this open until my receiver gets the packet?
It will arrive next week.
Many thanks to all of you for your patience and understanding!

Wow! I went through this Secret Santa Exchange and was very impressed with the gifts we sent out to our "family" here! All of them are amazing and fascinating!!! I really enjoyed reading them and seeing the photos. Thanks to all of you who took time to share with all of us. That is what makes this particular celebration a joyful holiday. Many thanks goes to our rggoodie as well! He worked hard to make this event successful and always makes sure everyone is happy. He also took extra trouble in reaching out to me. I am sorry to learn that rggoodie's computer was stolen! But I was delighted that he got a new computer for Christmas as well. I would like to add my Two Cents here: keep a minimum gift value to $10 or $15. The reason here is that postage is going to be expensive this year. My uncle in Scotland nearly got a heart attack at the post office when he was posting to me. It costs us £23.75 for 275 grams. It will be here tomorrow. Like many said here, most of us sent over $10 worth of goodies. I think if the rule is not broken, do not fix it and it has been working in our spirit of generosity. Obviously, we were and still are doing it because of the holiday spirits! :) Right? I will keep my promise to do two shipments next Exchange. I shall sign off so I can get my sleep in. Looking forward to hear from you soon! Regards, Carrigna |

Has anyone head from Pertinax lately? I've sent him a PM to ask if he'd received my Secret Santa gift, but had no reply.

Parcel from Carrigna arrived today - many thanks!   A very interesting selection! Never had any Uncirculated coins from Jersey before - the occasional ones I pull from circulation are normally around VF. If Pertinax gets back to me and confirms that my original gift did not arrive, I will put together a replacement. |

So pleased that my packet arrived quickly and safely, NumisRob!
I sincerely hope you do like the coins and notes!
It appears the photo showed my notes are poorly? I am sure the printed fonts were not that bad!
Happy I could help you with Jersey coins! Yes, it is not easy to get them in the UK if they are UNC. Have you ever visit Jersey? Or is that too touristy? I often wondered about that myself.
There is a silver 50 cent piece here. Hope it would give you more good luck than a 6d would do. :) They were fairly common when I was a kid.
As promised, I will make up to you with next packet.
My apologies for a very belated Christmas present, NumisRob.
Best wishes,
Carrigna

I also wanted to confirm that I am pleased to announce that my CCF Christmas present is not missing anything and is accounted for by my Secret Santa!
He kindly messaged me letting me know. Many thanks for your message!
Phew. I always am nervous with receiving goodies.
Now we are hoping that Pertinax will post soon.
Best wishes to all of you here!

The mail from Russia finally arrived after almost one month of custom clearance. Many thanks for Armenia coins - I didn't have any so it's a great addition to my collection!  Included two commemorative 100 dram coins from the 199x plus nice set of six 200 dram coins dedicated to Wild Trees of Armenia dated 2014. Not sure if the picture shows the coins properly but all of the coins are in AU/UNC with mint luster! Thanks again Santa! Edited by Ezhik_Lt

Hooray. You have finally received my gift. The customs clearance really took a long time. I did not think that there would be any difficulties with importation at all.
P.S.When I looked at the coins, I usually placed them so that the year (2014) was at the very bottom.
