    I haven't sent off my Secret Santa yet, but there's good reason.

    An integral part of the gift is not going to be ready until this coming weekend.

    I think it will be well worth the wait for my person!

    Since the box isn't going all that far, I am 99% sure it will still arrive in plenty of time for putting under the tree!

    I'm so excited.

    I really hope they like it :D
    peace,
    jo

    I can't tell you how many smiles and laughs I had when I was unwrapping each pressie - it was all perfect!!

    Thank you so much Whoprincess!!
    You didn't write your screen name anywhere on the parcel but your dogs gave it away!
    So happy you enjoyed it! I had so much fun shopping for you! In fact, I haven't enjoyed Christmas shopping so much for a long time. It has spilled over to my other shopping and I'm having the most fun I've had in years!

    I didn't put my screen name on purpose and I thought you would guess because of the dogs. I did give you a small clue by putting The Who targets on all the pressies but probably only a diehard Who fan would guess it.

    Enjoy! :mrgreen:

    Everyone is so creative this year :mrgreen:
    I think I was the first two years, but this year I went with one thing :oops: :?

    I hope the person likes it but I did not have much to go on :?

    I received my Secret Santa gift today from Mr. Eddie Vedder =)

    Candles, vino (in this cool little bottle), music from different bands which I really like, and coins. Way cool and I thank you for the lovely message in the card too. Thanks again.

    This was a fun thing and I am glad I was a part of it. :D
    Live Life love people, you never know what battle they may be facing..

    I know I'm late, but I'm going run to the post office tomorrow and express it across the pond! I was hoping I'd find something fun to add to the package on my business trip to Amsterdam, but no such luck :cry:
    Those blasted post offices over here open when I'm already at work and close before I get back. Maybe I should get a job at a state-run 'business' too....

    Its so nice seeing everyone enjoying the giving and receiving of gifts. As Dimi said, this is my favorite thread to read and be a part of. Can't wait to see more pictures! :D

    I'm pretty sure mine hasn't arrived yet because puppies have to be 8 weeks old before you take them away from their mother.

    Either that, or it's taken longer than SS anticipated for them to swap out the wheel covers for the Porshce for the really fancy ones.

    I'm happily anticipating.

    My outgoing SS gift is complete. It is, like me, eclectic. (Others may say "odd" or "unusual.") Definitely not boring. Now, I have to find a post office close by work so I can mail it tomorrow.

    They reckoned that the country receiving the gift could be pretty funny about parcels, everything had to be itemised on the CN22 as well :cry:
