A gift for Suparuthie A man in a bazaar suggested that you might like a new rug! (bizarre man ;D) Something fitting for you new Studio! When asked what he could offer to match your character he suggested something colourful and bright So you can hang this on the wall or lay it on the floor ...  Then bizarrely he told me BOGOFF  .. but then I realised what he meant and so just to add a little adventure, and to fuel your imagination even further, he threw in this bizarre bonus, mumbling something about seeing Siberian tigers in the wild   Have a wonderful time wherever you choose to roam!  |

Secret Santa has been again and left gifts for Carolann52 Just for you - a new fence to keep the chucks out of the front garden and give your plants a chance to grow ~~~  And if you have any spare capacity in your greenhouse, a potential money-spinning commercial opportunity (I'm sure we could get you some orders if you manage to grow these successfully  )   |

After much struggling trying to get down the GWD chimney - Santa finally realised his virtual mistake and dropped these off for Snowowl  These are to put by the side of your computer (you know why ) They are not cheapo specs they are Versace ~~~  Now I hope you have your specs on for this special delivery just for you  And although I can't grant you any wishes, maybe these can   |

Another delivery -  this one if for someone who is a Global Moderator (Secret Santa is confused - he has never had to find prezzies for one of those before ) Some bubbles to go with your hot-tub ...  Unbreakable silver champagne flutes (glass in a hot-tub is an elf and safety hazard you know )  Chocolate truffles, in case you get peckish ..  And the special Christmas Hamper ..

Secret Santa still hasn't finished ;D Look what he's left for Shrubrose ... A rather fetching apron and some slippers (old catalogue but very a la mode doncha think )  A new vacuum for you to play with ..  A new pair of rubber gloves ..  And because you have been so very, very busy, he thought you should go off on a virtual cruise, anywhere you want, the Captain is at your disposal  This bouquet is especially for you ..  Together with the GWD bulk bought hamper Have a wonderful Christmas  |

It wasn't just me Barbara - the suggestions came from near and far for things that would repay the Admin team for all the work they put in to making this board a lovely place to be .. In fact I think I can hear Rudolf and his team on the roof as I type Have we missed someone? |

 Oooh who could that be for??? Only fits one person I reckon, so this shed-load of gifts must be for Santa Spruance So that you don't have to wash them over Christmas here is a spare pair ...  Someone suggested that these should keep your bits warm, whilst you are out delivering to us all ~~  Plus you have a years supply of these - we can't have you feeling under the weather again -  Watch this, it will help you feel better whilst wearing your stockings ...  And of course the bumper hamper You won't need to worry about the sweet peas, or any other garden duties for the moment, here is your very own lady gardener  Merry Christmas - hope you like your gifts Must be off - got a heavy day tomorrow, so much to deliver
