Ah -- that would be very disappointing! The most fun of the GE is seeing your SB enjoy opening the gifts. I was really looking forward to seeing what you put together too. Knowing your business, I figured you might have a special thing or two in there.
If you took a picture before you sent it, maybe you could post for us all to see. I know it would not take the place of your SB posting, but we could ooh and ahh over it! I love seeing the creative way everyone puts their gifts together.
Hope everything is alright with your secret buddy and their owner. It does make you worry a bit when they haven't logged on in a while.
