Woohoo, looking forward to seeing all the piggies in this thread with their presents!
 
Done my parcel, now I just need to get it posted. Hopefully I can sort it out today, can't wait for it to get there. :)

I cheated and didnt wrap - just got them sent straight from suppliers but properly addressed

Me too! But as I live in OZ I reckon I have a good excuse. It didn't make sense for suppliers to ship to me from the UK, wrap it all up and then ship back to the UK in time for Xmas. However my early purchases were not properly addressed in the matter of names. It took me a while to figure out that the "&" sign was not working online. So, I had to then order an equal number of pressies for the missing "&" piggie. I have a granddaughter who is obsessed with equal counts of everything and she wanted to see eveything I ordered! On a funny note, one of the suppliers sussed that the recipient might not be a human and sent a thank you email with the piggy name in quotes.
 
I posted mine yesterday, queue at the post office was out of the door!
 
Just been round to the Post Office to send off my parcel so excited! I Can not wait to see all the piggies faces when they open their presents! :):)
 
Tally's secret santa parcel has arrived :-) Thank you!
We have been rushed off our feet here with new arrivals but hopefully she will have the chance to open it at the weekend. We will have the camera at the ready and will post photos as soon as we can.
 
Looks like we'll be starting to see photos of piggies with their pressies very soon! So exciting!
 
Can't wait to see all these piggies with their pressies!xx
 
Sorrel and Angel Baby's box has arrived - pics at weekend (or sooner if I can get them sorted!). x

A box has arrived for Magdalena and Dave - I had better get those camera batteries fully charged! Wheeeeee!

Hello Piggy Friends,

A parcel arrived at Windwhistle Warren today! It is safely up in the piggy loft. Alyson is kindly going to sort photos as I am a bit useless. Thank you from the piggies, and from me, and all my lovely volunteers.

Love Windwhistle Warren

At the Police Station?! Oh dear! I can just imagine the scene when you go in to collect it - 'it's for the guinea pigs, honestly'. I bet they wouldn't have heard that one before! :))
 
More deliveries today - packages arrived for Hamlet and Arthur. thank you. the boys have been told they have to wait till Xmas day though. X
 
I'm not too good at waiting until Christmas Day to open presents and neither are the guinea pigs, so here's the pics of the first piggies to get their gifts.

Sorrel & Angel Baby

Their story can be found here on the rescue Lifers page - http://guinearescue.blogspot.co.uk/p/lifelong-residents.html


The girls had a few large packages to open

Lots of tasty nuggets, cotton wool pads (ideal for all sorts of piggy clean up jobs) and much needed refuse bags.

The girls (and their slave) are very grateful for the presents as all get put to use, even the packaging gets put to work with the boxes and brown paper stuffing nibbled for weeks.

we have had another parcel arrive but so not know if it is from here or from one of our FB follwers as only addressed to the address..no name..and nothign inside for a clue..it came via Zooplus
 
Dave & Magdalena

I was going to wait until after the watershed as there is a naughty pic, please avert your eyes if you are offended by piggy porn (safe sex is paramount at the rescue, rest assured that Dr Snippy got to Dave long before he got to Magda).

Magda's rescue story (and all her friends) - http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?86833-Pregnant-newbies

Dave and Magdalena reluctantly left their cage to check out the big brown box with their names on it.

Dave got so excited when he realised it was full of scrunchy brown paper!

Sorry, but I did warn you - Dave got very excited over the parcel.

Once they had posh hay to munch and brown paper scrunchies to nibble they calmed down a lot.

No reason for this extra pic - they are just so adorable!

Once back in their cage with their munchies and scrunchies they were very happy!

Thank you so much Secret Santa, you've made the piggies very happy - they have decided to donate the snugglesafe heatpad to Maria and her babies as they have their love and each other to keep them warm on chilly nights.

Their lifers post on the website.
