Thankyou Gray Family Secret Pal!

Our Secret Pal was especially clever this month! We aren't too sure, like others, on how our little one's nursey will look, so we didn't provide much to go by in the way of colours or themes for our
Secret Pal....but nothing stops our Secret Pal! She creatively went out on her own and came up with a Beach Theme, in anticipation of our little ones being with us by next summer (I pray you are right Secret Pal!) Our SP sent us the most adorable pink one piece swimming cossie (bathers, swim suit...in NSW Australia we call them cossies for 'swimming costume') and gorgeous little pink and tan sports sandals to match! These are so perfect for us - we have a swimming pool at home which the girls live in all summer and we are only 10 minutes from the some of the most beautiful beaches in the world (not biased at all, of course ;-) We love this pressie!! You are the BEST Secret Pal, thankyou!

Tiff, Andrew, Emily and Lucy Gray

Thank you to my secret pal for another great gift. This month I received an adorable fuzzy blanket. It is the softest thing I have ever felt. I also received a Glo-Worm which plays music. I love it! My husband and I keep listening over and over to see which song we like the best. They are both fabulous. Thank you!!

Anderson Secret Pal knocks yet another one out of the park!


I worried a bit this month for my secret pal, because I thought that my lack of a description of a nursery theme would be a headache for the unlucky person who got the Andersons. I figured that she would be wandering the halls of a Target or Babies R Us somewhere cursing my name and description of "something bright- kind of like those newborn toys with black, white, lime green, pink, etc". But, she smartly decided to think a bit out of the box and thought about something that could be used inside the room. (I wish I would have had this bright idea for my secret pal gift to ________! )

We received 3 great CDs to be played inside the nursery. Baby Bedtime Stories-with music and stories, Baby Brain Builder- with music to stimulate a baby's imagination, and Baby and Me- soothing classical music. Chris and I love music and this was a great idea. We look forward to listening to this together with our child. I will listen for your favorite song, secret pal!!!

Thank you so much,

Megan Anderson

Thank you so much to the Bryant Secret Pal for our August gift. We absolutely love that you found some things that match our nursery theme so well. We received a beautiful and soft blanket, yellow with white stars, there was also a cool set of wall stickers to use and last but not least our first set of crib sheets with stars on it. the crib sheet was really exciting to receive as it helps the nursery feel real (even from the confines of our hotel room!)

Every month you send us the most wonderful cards and thoughts and we appreciate them so much. No matter what goes on around us they always lift our spirits.

THanks Bryant Secret Pal!!!1


Thank you to our secret pal! You send us such great stuff all the time! For August and September, we received lady bug pjs, a snuggly bear and a sheet set. They are all adorable. The pink gingham sheets will be perfect for the Violet’s crib, as many of the blankets we have are pink, too. How did you know? We also so appreciate the pencil box you sent for Sophie. She is very proud of it and calls it her “cow box.” Thanks again for your sweet gifts, Pete, Jill and Sophie

Thank you Secret Pal!!!!

Once again we got the cutest stuff!!! The nightlight and blanket that match...all handmade I might add. The card even had the same material on it. We love the lady bug stuff....my daughter wants the paddle ball. As usually you have out done yourself and we just love it so much.

She also has the sweetest cards in with all our packages.

Thank you Secret Pal from the The Smith's

Secret Pal...You are awesome! You knew exactly my taste and did great with the nursery colors! We haven't started decorating yet because we plan to move into a bigger place in a few months, but I can't wait to display my, I mean my daughter's, pretty gifts!!! Love, the ever-so-grateful de la Rosa family!

To Pascarella's Secret Pal-Ok my secret pal is on task. We don't have a nursery yet, so I made it hard. My pal had no problems, we received two great toys. We are the proud owners of a super deluxe see and say, as well as a baby Einstein farm book. We do not have either toy. So fun!!!! Now if I could just have a clue as to when I may have a baby to play with these toys......Thanks again secret pal.

Thank you Secret Pal!!!

Since we don't really have the nursery together I know that it was a challenge for my secret pal. I do know that I want to put daisies and ladybugs in the nursery, but that is about all that I know.

My secret pal found the cutest little toy! When you pull on the daisy the little ladybug dances. We can hang in on Tori's stroller or any where. Our pal also sent a classic toy that every little baby needs, the plastic keys.

Thank you! We love the gifts!!!

Thanks to the Greatest Secret Pal! My pal sent us a giraffe and monkey stuffed animal and they are the cutest. We will be doing an animal print nursery, once we get the referral in hand (per Chester). I want to have all of the stuffed animals I can get in the room and lots of safari print stuff. I loved the safari puzzle book as well. I can't say enough how much I loved the stuff. I will post a picture in a few days.

Thank you secret pal!

I even loved the box you sent everything in! It has the cutest little flowers and lady bug. I can use that to keep all the cards and things in while I wait to create Jamie's lifebook. How thoughtful!!! The sippy cup is so adorable, and I love the snack cups. I cannot wait to have Jamie so that we can start to use these!!!!

Thanks again!

Our wonderful secret pal again did a great job of sending us some really cute and special things. We received another basket with a pink liner (matches the one we received May I think), a divided dish, bowl and utensils with Pooh on them ( love Pooh), a package of forks and spoons and two cute bibs; one "I love Mommy" and the other "I love Daddy". These really hit us with "wow, this is going to be reality...someday...hopefully sooner than later. We are very grateful and thankful to have such a fantastic secret pal. You are making this long wait so much happier and we look forward to getting our package every month. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. Michele & Chuck

Thank you Secret Pal!








You strike again with many goodies for meal time. The bibs are so cute -one with ladybugs and one with flowers as is the towel in the background. There are so many useful things like the bowls with lids (a personal favorite of mine), colorful spoons and forks, a high chair mat and a tray cover.

You have not missed a thing! Thanks again! Jennifer

Ahhhh my wonderful secret pal struck again and EARLY this month. It seemed like I had just received a package from her, when another one appeared. This month I got awesome goodies as usual. My favorite color is pink and boy did I get oodles of pink things for baby. A beautiful rose satin dragonfly picture frame, a flannel crib sheet, a casting kit for baby's handprint, a bunny "lovey" and matching blankie and a very CHIC pillow to hang on the nursery door which says "Queen of the Crib". How fabulous, right? It's trimmed in white marabou and I think it's precious. I can't wait til next month!!!
