I could be persuaded… There’s also another filament that turns blue based on temperature.
oh happy day, I got my package! It’s from freckafree and I love this Bad Cats Calendar! And just to think they couldn’t get any more creative with wall calendars, this one has a cat on each day! Also wonderful candy bars. Thanks so much! This has been a great idea, would love to participate next year too
What a lot of fun our gift exchange has been! 
Is it next year yet??
YAY! I’m glad it finally arrived! The USPS said it would be there on Dec. 22, and it obviously was not!
I’m glad you enjoyed the goodies!
I got it today!! A New Year’s Eve present! 
It’s very cool, thank you! It’s now on my fridge.
Yay for the Ukrainian Christmas Season!
swampspruce, I received my book Thank You! I look forward to reading this, it is appealing.
Such pretty packaging!
As an added bonus, Fluffy the Cat got a new resting place 
Ahhh… a new box. Life is very good. (Thanks for the pics.)
I don’t know if you frequent Reddit, but there is an entire subredditdevoted to pictures of cats sitting in boxes. Yup. Gotta love the interwebs.
That is definitely better wrapping than I would have done! Yay! Double win 'cos Kitteh can has box! So Hrystos sya rojdaye!
OMG! There is a Fluffy in a box that looks so much like my Fluffy! Might sign up to post side by side pics heh.
Has there been a “final” list? As far as I know, my recipient (harmonicamoon - sorry for the spoiler, but I think we can let the cat out of the bag at 38 days since mailing) - has not received, and presumably will not receive, my gift. I sent it via USPS on 12/4, and haven’t heard anything since. So disappointing for me, and I can’t imageine how sad harmonicamoon must be!
This was from me if you’re wanting to keep track of senders and givers.
My gift included a wall calendar from Vancouver Island:

I also went to a wild life recovery center ( https://www.niwra.org/) in town to get some Cougar Booger soap and Bear’s Breath mints:

I sent two cat toys. One was a little stuffed dinosaur with a feather sticking out of his head and the other was a battery operated cricket:
There was also an obnoxious Christmas Minion keychain that lit up and made sound that I thought was funny:

Hola Nayna. Thank you for the post.
I spent the first three weeks of December in the hospital. Got out last Saturday. I immediately searched the yard for a package or note from Mexico Correos. Nothing. This is a small pueblito and everyone at the post office knows me. I was able to get enough energy to go to their office today. They have not seen the package. Said there will be more mail from the USA tomorrow. And will bring it if it comes. So, there is still hope. They did ask for a tracking number. Do you have one?
Although Secret Santa gifts have always arrived here, there is always the chance they could get intercepted.
I am not sad. I appreciate you playing Secret Santa and agreeing to ship international. And the anticipation has been very exciting.
Life is good. Thank you for your efforts.
Vive Secret Santa!
Hi, Harmonicamoon! I’m glad you’re home from the hospital, but it’s really too bad that you haven’t received the gift. I do not have a tracking number! I specifically remember throwing the receipt out, actually, and I’ve been kicking myself ever since. Grr. I’d heard USPS can’t trace it once it leaves the country, and your concern seemed to be at the receiving end.
Well, you might as well know (and this may be why it might have been stolen?) it contained food made locally - pretzels made in Pittsburgh, PA, chocolates made in Pittsburgh, biscotti made in Pittsburgh. I think maybe also some chocolate made in Buffalo, NY, where my daughter goes to college. I worried when I wrote the contents of the box on the customs form that somebody along the way would have the munchies!
Grr. Well, only ten months until SDMB Secret Santa 2019!
Hola.
Thank you for the reply.
Once the package enters Mexico, it can be tracked here.
Thank you for your efforts, and thanks for playing Secret Santa.
