I'm worried that the gift I sent hasn't arrived - it should be there by now. But if I ask it will ruin the surprise. So - if you have gotten a gift, please post here? Thanks!

Once you receive your gift please post, some are international exchanges so you may have a delay.

My gift arrived yesterday, and it is nothing short of spectacular! Secret Santa sent me a 1934 first flight airmail cover from Australia to Papua New Guinea, with dual franking from both countries. Not only that, it has a hand written enclosure letter from the sender explaining the details of the flight! I will post images in a Papua New Guinea thread later.
Thank You Secret Santa!

I can remember Rod instating that I get one, haven't looked back.

Nice ! The 10c punctured OHMS and Postmarked "E" is the postmark of St Lawrence Main. Wow, not only is it an OHMS stamp, but it's the large OHMS - 5 pins vertical in the "H", instead of the much more common 4 pins. A fine gift from your Secret Santa! Ryan

My secret Santa sent me the spiffiest stamps - Hockey Sports Cards that are also stamps! My hubby and father-in-law are HUGE hockey fans and they thought they were the coolest thing ever! And there was one on the cover, too! Nifty stuff! A nice addition to my Modern Canada collection! Thank you, Santa :-)
