oldiefan Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 SECRET SANTA HAS ARRIVED ! Oh Nie ! You can't imagine what pleasure your Secret Santa parcel brought to me this morning... especially your lovely letter in your card. I love the rainbow writing. The gifts were just lovely - thank you soooooooo much. I was at the Wembley concert too, but only picked up a few bits of confetti, so having more is fantastic. I intend framing them with your great photo collage. It will certainly be another addition, along with the stars, to my Coldplay Corner. And the truffles are delicious ! Yum ! Had one with my morning coffee. Many, many sincere thanks. I treasure this lovely gesture. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. x 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 When I saw the card with the pictures I immediately thought this looks like Nie, then I scrolled down and read it is indeed Nie :D Wonderful things everyone ! :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome and enjoy. Ha ha ! I'm lucky enough to live in a house surrounded by fields and beautiful hills so I only need the house name and the area name for post to reach me. It's a great change after living in my home city of Liverpool for many years ! AND..... I'm only a few miles away from Jonny's childhood home. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortilorie Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I have finally sent my parcel today! It should arrive in about a week anyway. The post lady even said, that she heard that some cross europe parcels arrive in two days. But I think to assume a week is safer. I wanted to take a picture of the package in the "post cage" as it looked kind of nice - ready to go, but I was not allowed due to data protection issues ... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealRece Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hello ^^ I'm writing to ask if everyone else has received their matches yet? I received my gift in the mail today but I have not received a match. I've checked my PMs, but there's nothing there. How are we supposed to know our match? Thanks again! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolsgoldthunder Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I appreciate everyone's concerns about my friend. It goes to show what a kind group Coldplayers are. I saw her on Weds afternoon. She passed the next night. On a happier note, I was SO lucky to get @YeahWeDo_YeahWeDo for my secret Santa. Just LOOK at what she sent me!! [emoji847]. The card in the backdrop shows the medieval doors found where she lives (I don't want to divulge her location without her ok.) I especially loved the letter on the back of that card that describes where she is and how the gifts reflect that location. If you look closely at the second picture, you will see her adorable drawing with carefully cut out pictures of the guys: Chris the elf, Johnny the teddy bear (too cute for words!!), Will the left snowman and Guy the right snowman. How clever!! The stars on the tree in the background of the first pic are both origami from ASFOS and woven, an ornament typical of her area. Here's another really clever gift: By the card of the guys is an Advent calendar in the area language with cute pictures for each day, and the translation she kindly put on the back of each page. What's an amazing coincidence is the X&Y bookmark she meticulously cut out in little colored squares in Baudot code. The back has my name in colored code! I don't know how it was even possible to cut squares that tiny and glue them. My hands would be a mass of colored glue!! Last year I gave my Secret Santa a cross/stitched Baudot code towel of X&Y. @YeahWeDo_YeahWeDo also cross-stitched and made me this beautiful, double-sided Coldplay key chain. I can't tell you how much this gift means to me! I will treasure each carefully chosen piece. A million thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk really sorry for your loss, i hope you're feeling okay. and @YeahWeDo_YeahWeDo, i love your gift!! x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldiefan Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I've just spent a happy hour putting my lovely Secret Santa gifts, from Nie, into my Coldplay Corner - well, it's now 'corners' as it's slowly creeping further round my bedroom. Also I've been enjoying my star candle on my hearth - couldn't wait 'till Christmas day. Thanks again Nie. I love them ! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
