Have you ever received a note, card or gift that was signed only "from a secret admirer"?

There is no indication on the card, note or gift who is sending it. There is no postmark. It is merely signed "from a secret admirer", or something similarly vague. My intention is not to get a lot of creepy stalker stories, I'm more looking for sweet and innocent gift giving or pranks between friends.

gilly	posted 2-Sep-1998 9:14am I don't actually remember. I think this might have happened in high school once, but my memory of it is very vague, and it may have been my sister who sent it to me to make me feel good, or it may have happened to someone else and I incorporated it into my memories.

Resy	posted 2-Sep-1998 3:21pm No 'gift giving pranks' ... our office does a yearly Secret Santa exchange where you leave a small token for the 10 work days before Christmas and then we meet and try to guess who our Secret Santa was. The tokens are supposed to give you clues to the identity of the person who drew your name. Always quite amusing when the dept. VP got involved!

anonymous	posted 2-Sep-1998 8:23pm Long story short...I once recieved a "secret admirer" note, that was rather creepy...I figured out who it was, and it turned out that the note was a kind of trap; the person thought I had sent them a note, and was trying to psyche me out. Though I am not sure the original culprit was unmasked, it did make for a rather exciting mystery.
Mimi	posted 3-Sep-1998 10:08pm I would just die laughing thinking someone was playing a joke on me. At this stage in my life with a long, long marriage, I can't think of anything funnier.
anonymous	posted 4-Sep-1998 6:46am Yes, and I told Mr. Clinton to take it back.
lizzie	posted 4-Sep-1998 9:22am A friend of my roommate decided to play a joke on me by sending me cards from a "secret admirer". My roommate was very evasive about the whole thing, so I was able to figure out who it was in about 2 weeks. The whole experience was a little weird. anonymous: touche
