2013 Sasha Secret Santa Swap Gifts Received - Part One

All of the Sasha Secret Santa Swaps have been received and most have sent in photos - still waiting on a few and I will post those as and when I receive them.    Some really lovely gifts were sent and received as you will see. Thank you to all who took part and thank you all for being such wonderful generous swappers, I think everyone got really amazing gifts and all the Sasha & Gregor kids look very happy with everything.

Bronwyn received from her Secret Santa:

A pretty polka dot dress with matching panties.

A fabulous little treasure box full of treasures.

Next up we have the following message from Lauri with regards to her Secret Santa Swap that she received.

Gracie took a picture of our quite stunning pressies from Father Christmas! (Our Sashas & Gregors are particular about calling him by the British name, I have been told.) 

`From L to R:

Martin is wearing the lovely hat and scarf set. Whoops! Martin is a bit of a devil. He's discovered the flap in Robin's jimjams! Robin and baby Hamish are wearing matching warm turtle onesie pyjamas. They're brothers, so they love to match. Baby Hamish has claimed the stocking which contains a puzzle and a tiny teddy! Next is Hugo wearing a beautifully knit pullover and matching hat with the expertly sewn cream corduroy trousers. On the ground surrounding Baby Hamish we find a giant bucket of Sasha-sized sweets (Gracie is going to hide them as soon as the photo shoot is over), as well as a beautifully knit layette of hat, cardigan, and bootees for Hamish to wear on his next outing. The bigger boys are going to do the puzzle books. 

Such an amazing and generous gift! Mrs. Santa deserves a lot of thanks from us! :-) The boys are going to have an absolutely wonderful Christmas this year! 

hugs from Lauri & Gracie & the Gregors

Miss Laird received a wonderful package.

I've copied the message that came with the photos.

Cora got a beautiful hand knitted hat and cardigan in her favourite colour - mustard.These matched the clever reversible skirt. 

There was also a lovely cord pinafore with tights. 

Cora was delighted with her little cat bag - she hopes she'll soon have a kitten to put in it !!??

You can see she is wearing her Canadian maple leaf pin. We greatly enjoyed reading about London, Canada. She hopes to visit there some day and would love to see the Inuit Gallery.

She really enjoyed the chocolate lolly ( sorry it didn't last long enough to get in the picture)

Many thanks to Carol L and her Sashas for these lovely presents.

Rosie also received some fabulous presents

She writes:

As you can see my poor Baby had only a nappy to wear so she was really excited to get a wonderful pair of Sashapotamus PJs.

There was a little play mat and a cuddly friend looking out from a Christmas stocking. Also in the stocking there was a cute  bird whistle. 

Baby and her new friend enjoyed singing along with Elmo (their favourite Sesame Street character)

They had such fun and sang until they were all tired out so they had a little sleep under the Christmas Tree.

Thank you Brenda for these lovely gifts you really thought of everything my Baby needed.

A very cute sweater dress with matching hat, white tights.  A lovely Christmas stocking filled with goodies, a trunk, a straw Swiss tree ornament, shoes that will fit a toddler and candy for Sheila.  She also writes: "So many nice gifts, not sure my kids were that good this year!"  

They must have been Sheila!

Her Sasha couldn't wait to open it.

Very classy Sasha in her new outfit.

Secret Santa took note that Sonya has a much warmer Christmas than most of us and sent the appropriate items for such weather!

Fabulous outfits indeed!

DollMum was the Secret Santa for Sonya and she has blogged about both what she sent and received here.

This is the parcel I received:

A couple of pieces of fabric, some ribbons, two pairs of panties for the girls and two waistcoats/vests and ties for the boys and some  cake accessories.

Francis and Simon model the waistcoats and ties.

The one Francis is wearing is reversible 

Ziva offered to model the panties but ONLY if her face wasn't showing! ;-)
