With all the extra mail and mini strickes the posties had that week, it's possible that the posties just didn't take your parcels out with them. I know a card should have been left, but there's been times when i've not had a card and the parcel was sat waiting on the shelf in the sorting office
The sorting office usually keep parcels for 2/3 weeksish so if you could give them a ring, all those missing pressies might just turn up. After all there's no return address for them to be sent back to!
UPDATED: I got a proof of postage for my parcel which should have insured it for £32ish, so if my recipient hasn't recieved theirs i'd like to know so i can claim compensation, and maybe send something else.
