I didn't get it anonymously and I liked it like that. ^_^ I was able to thank her for the gift.

But I loved the idea of sending it as a 'gift' instead of a trade.
It made it easier and more a Christmas present rather than a long back and forth trade process.

I thought about it too but in the end decided it was up to you guys if you wanted to send it in your name or without a name. Secret santa is typically a bunch of random secret gifts and then the final gift it's revealed who your secret santa was with an even bigger gift. Since it would be an even more expensive event if we did it that way...I decided we'd cut it down to the last part. Where we all get random people and send a big gift to that person. So it's still random on who you get or receive a gift from. And the last part is you're revealed with the gift. 3nodding
