Some nice gifts have been received I see! I opened mine as well and am really happy with what Secret Santa has made for me:

A very elegant forged bottle opener. The homebrew christmas gingerale can be opened in style tonight! Thanks Secret Santa, and thanks to Dave for organizing this event. I have enjoyed it!

The Crafty Santa brought me a beautiful turned wooden pot...



... and the Brantub Santa brought me a bottle of vintage sloe gin and a leather shot cup to drink it from...



Thank you Santas.

A beautiful hazel and willow basket, pine tar soap and laundry soap. All will definitely get used. Well chuffed, thank you SS.

I received a lovely horn/antler, leather and wood handled knife; this will be replacing my mora.
So thank you very much to my Secret Santa, your gift will be getting lots of use this year!
I'm guessing mine is from Humdrum (but he doesn't have to confirm or deny!)

I would love to take the credit for that stunning knife but it wasn't me I am afraid.
I have received a beautiful canvas carry bag which is very generous of the secret Santa and I am grateful to you (I think I know who you are) and also to Dave for arranging this.
I will try and post a pic to show it off tomorrow but my 2 year old smashed my tablet Christmas eve!

My secret santa was awesome this year [and santa in general was pretty great too]

I've recieved a leather pouch, a couple of keyfobs and a really nice knife sheath. I don't remember seeing the sheep mark before but I'll be keeping my eyes open for it now...

 

[humdrum_hostage]

I have seen that before

Here is my superb bag


Thank you Mr B

I have a beautifully made bracelet with a tiny firesteel on the fastening and a small carved spoon. Thank you SS, that was a nice package to open on Christmas morning.

Pics of the cracking little leather belt pouch!

 

[Black Sheep]

Sorry no photos of mine, I received 4 bottles of home brew beer (2 IPA and 2 London porter ) and some Chilli beef jerky.

I got a message from my SS via Dave to say I could open my gift early as the beer needed to settle and the jerky was to eat a.s.a.p.

Big thanks to my SS the jerky was great and the IPA was excellent as was the Porter - both were as good as any I've bought.

Many thanks to Dave for organising this and to my Secret Santa.

Cheers Rich

Starting to feel that the SS gift I sent is rather pale in comparison. Some amazing stuff's being shown.

 

[greensurfingbear]

Opened mine up to find I'd been given a rather interestingly titled book called '101 things to do in a Shed', a pewter hip flask, a wooden board game with marbles (perhaps Santa can send me the rules in a PM ) and a waterproof case for an I-phone 5.

All in all they were a very generous Santa, thank you

I agree looks more like brantub stuff.....

 

[Mesquite]

It may seem that way I know, but I have checked with both Dave and Graham as both the packages for my Brantub and SS didn't have any identifying labels telling me which was which...

BUT my SS gifter left a bit of a give away as to who he was in the form of a return address and their full name and address on another packaging envelope Dave was able to confirm I was right and these gifts are indeed my Crafty Secret Santa presents.

That sounds more like the Brantub gift than the crafty one? Nice Hall though.

I got a most excellent leather belt pouch.

I agree looks more like brantub stuff.....

My secret santa sent a Possibles Pouch, A Match case wrapped in waxed jute twine, Tabbaco Pouch and some Homemade waterproofing wax made from natural bees wax, linseed oil and pine essence. Thank you for the gifts.

Apologies for not posting sooner, for some reason my tapatalk seems to have completely failed now and I've been shot down by the lurgy up till now.

Got a subzero camp next week so better be better by then!

I'm a big fan of Thud, so a game of Tafl.

Oddly I seem to have a single extra black piece and I'm out by one white piece, which means when the wife moved it, she must have lost a piece or two. Got to somehow convince the wife to have a go when she's off these night shifts! She hates me beating her at Thud so I've not had a game for three years...

Looking at that picture, I think you've got it set up wrong. I'm no expert on this game, you'd have to ask the person that made it for sure, but I don't think you should have a white piece in each corner, giving you six on each of the 4 sides, and a couple of pieces spare.

It's possible! I'm going with the layouts they sent!
