Solution

Both a handy feature and a source of confusion, Gmail allows users to create aliases of their email address, by just adding "." and "+". Users don't have to setup these additional versions of their email address, and can just create them on the fly.

Over the  years we've seen this lots. A user knows which email account they've signed up with, but may be using an old or alternative version of their email address that uses or omits "." or has a "+something" added on.

To resolve, you'll need to check the emails from us, and look at the address used in the email header. If you really struggle, contact us via Discord, and we'll tell you what email address you used.

Just be aware that "joebloggs@gmail.com" is not the same as "joe.bloggs@gmail.com", so whilst Google allows this, that doesn't mean it works when logging into your website. Your username is your email address, and has to be letter-for-letter the same as the one you registered with or used in previous years.

Again, you don't have to go excessive (especially if you're on a tight budget) to make someone happy, get creative! Make something, draw something, knit something - get crafty!

Full disclosure, McCoy loves to make one every year...

We do ask for allergies and food preferences in the data form, but always err on the side of caution, and avoid sending allergy foods, or make it very clear in a letter or note. Some youngsters also take part, so please make sure any beverages sent are suitable for your recipient!

We see a lot of local foods and snacks sent, so we might revisit this later on our deep dive!
