Secret Santa 2012

Enkidu

I was weak. I couldn't wait until Christmas. This photo does not express the awesomeness of my gifts. FiFi Ireland did a super-fabulous job. Grow your own shamrocks (I will). Chocolate. Two Christmas ornaments, one with a space to put a photo - what to choose? Pearl Jam perhaps? A gorgeous card with English and Gaelic greetings. And a Guinness key chain bottle opener thing that yes indeed-y I have already used. (The weird candy cane house wasn't part of the SS - it's "decor.")

The Titanic stick of rock will go on my shelf of Titanic stuff (I'll post a picture of that later).

Thanks again, Fiona. What a great gift and I hope we can meet one day. At a concert. I'll bring the bottle opener.

I'm pretty worried about my package... Sent it Sunday morning by Express Mail Service, which suppose to reach its destination in 2-3 days, and just now I received a text message that says it's on process of getting released from custom office... I wrote very low costs (maybe too much?...) on the declaration so it won't be charged with duty, and I really hope it's o.k and my person gets it as soon as possible with no need to pay for it :?

ok..i understand that they said to you 2-3 days,but seriously,there is no way to arrive in 2-3 days..
its holidays season,and 2-3 days only is really impossible ,cos i know whaere is nthe destination you ship your package..1 day is only the airtravel..and if you ship it like late afternoon your day,means that day is lost...and 2-3 days will count from the next day
ill be in touch with your person,and ill let you know asap i have news..no worries,ok?

Thanks Dimi,
I shipped it early in the morning, and since it's a special fast service they promise it only takes 2-3 day to this specific destination, but I guess I've been fooled :roll:
Most important, I really hope there's no problem with the custom and that they didn't open the package and ruined it... Crossing fingers!!!

Yea!!! I'm so happy it finally made it to you. I was getting a bit worried that it would not make it in time. Yes, I do try to do a little research on my person- That way I can try to get things that they may like.

Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!
