My gift is mailed and should be hitting the Old World in 6-12 days. Since I mistrust the USPS intensely, I have saved the recipt and customs slip in case of any issues.

I have received a gift today and I must say quite a bit of thought went into it. I do love it.

Thanks guys! Appreciated! :)

As for the gift, I've already received mine and enjoyed thoroughly! But I am still running late as I haven't sent mine yet. Going to a few more shops tomorrow to see if I can find something more suitable than what I have already found!

My gift has finally been dispatched.

As for me...I think mine arrived. A brown padded envelope showed up, with no return address or "GPR" mark to indicate it was from this, but I wasn't expecting any similar parcels, and also the address has been misspelled as "Angel" rather than "Angle". So I presume that's mine.

I myself got a present sent all the way from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

It's a copy of Mickey Thompson - The Fast Life and Tragic Death of a Racing Legend by Erik Arneson, and it's brilliant, and I love it.

It was a postcard-sized picture of Piercarlo Ghinzani, signed and framed. A brilliant Secret Santa gift, thank you!

Also a Jim Clark keyring from Super Aguri. Again, thank you!

I always thought the point of Secret Santa was to NOT know who sent you the gift but thankyou very Much Dr Baker.

My prize was an A1GP Team Malaysia shirt signed by Alex Yoong and Fairuz Fauzy! Really really nice gift!

I also got some neat Post Cards from Super Augri. It was a good haul.

I got two sweet Lotus postcards, a copy of Turbo magazine, and a cool fictional driver history that I am sad to say I have not had time to finish yet.

A right proper haul.
