Turns out it was Angel of Chaos, and it wasn't even meant to be secret but the note got thrown out by accident, so I was in darkness for a good month before Angel of Chaos confessed. Then I receive a Lunar Chronicles coloring book (<3, I love it!) and NO ONE IS FORTHCOMING WITH INFORMATION. The crowd goes wild, IS THERE NO ONE WE CAN TRUST? More stickers arrive, this time from Angel of Chaos. Then comes a confession, from the one no one suspected. So much collaboration in private chats (Several times at this point I have partnered with a gift giver and thrown sus on others or myself to protect them). All's quiet on the Western front for a time, but THEN stickers arrive at, I believe, the Angel of Chaos' house. No one confesses, but I go on a lengthy Etsy search of the shop they're from in an attempt to figure out the Vibe of the shop and sus out who did it. The prevailing belief is that it is from Moriarty, but no confessions are made, because confessions went out the window in April. THEN hat arrives at Sherlock's house, with another note. There is silence for a few weeks, but Tensions are Bubbling. No one confesses although everyone suspects Sherlock, the Stable Mom Friend of the friend group (as opposed to me, the Chaos Mom Friend), but she is silent on the matter and gives nothing away. Moriarty is on the warpath, DMing everyone in search of Information. Everyone is sussing everyone else, and there are several different alliances and few people (*cough cough* me) purposefully seeming suspicious just for fun. Moriarty receives a Sherlock hat randomly with a cryptic note. This moment marked the end of Civil Gift Giving and began the Guerrilla Gift War of 2022. But she's so convincing and includes a video with a packing label n' everything! Eventually, we're all onboard and she does a dramatic unboxing video ONLY TO REVEAL THAT IT WAS A FAKE PACKAGE ALL ALONG. We know and love Moriarty and pulling an April Fool's joke is just like her. At this point, our troublemaker, let's call her Moriarty, comes into the chat with much shouting and hullabaloo, saying she's gotten a Gift. After this Gift-alanche (which Pirate Queen still has not forgiven us for), things proceed as normal until April 1st - April Fool's Day. Then we have Red Alerts, where Pirate Queen might be finding out our Secrets and/or may not have received her packages, which leads to mobilization in the secret chat as we try to throw her off the scent or get her to check her mail without incriminating ourselves. Things go beautifully, and Pirate Queen begins to receive a steady stream of gifts and lovingly rages about it. We all collude and form a secret chat to discuss our gift ideas and coordinate everything. Fast forward to February, and we decide that our Secret Keeper (who managed the drawing of names and knows everything), the beautiful Pirate Queen, needs to receive a Gift-alanche, because she is excluded from the exchange by dint of knowing Everything. Oh, but this state of affairs would not last. Eventually, I reveal myself because at that time, Manners and Rules still existed in the chat. Rampant sussing begins and I gleefully try to incriminate other people. This works beautifully in that it throws suspicion off me. Problem: I already bought her birthday gift with a card so now I have to scramble to get her a secret one. It's January and I have drawn Bookmaster's name.
