thats a shame... i'd got you a FM2008 t-shirt and mousemat :(
nevermind... i'll keep it
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Oooooh you tease, how am i gonna concentrate in work now with thoughts of a t-shirt like that floating around my head, mmmm now that would be the ultimate present!
I just went to the Post Office and sent my gift. BUT..... I had to write my name and address, the contents and the value of the gift on the box... :eek:
Well....I guess Santa's not so secret after all......:(

it is kinda secret... i.e. i dont know your real name or where you live... so i cant match that to your username... ok i just read you're in coventry birmingham... change that to "hades" or something

suppose it's better that the person getting your gift knows your addresse than the post having no return addy in case something gets messed up..
I didn't like doing that last year though anyway, but the receiver can always decide not to look at what you've written. that's what I did.
and WOO! I'm 99% done with my shopping! I knew wondering about would do the trick!
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
I am half way there with mine, just need to figure out the other half now.

Oh, I don't mind the person having my address.
I just think the secrecy is part of the fun. And I know I'll be looking for clues to who sent mine...:o
I now know what I'm getting... woooooooooooooooo! just have to go get it then so

it is, but like dunky (I think?) already said, they most likely can't link your real name to your screen one. which is dead easy on my case..
hahaha, trying to figure out the sender is definitely a part of the fun too! some Santas tell who they are pretty clearly too but that's fine too.

ack! i can't get mine quite right.... this is harder than i thought it would be!
I know... well I can think of stuff... but it's hard to be inventive. I know some people here are really good at coming up with novelty stuff that's anything but tacky... I'd like to be able to do that

Ahh! We are supposed to leave clues? What kind of clues? I've never interacted with this person, so I have a feeling this person will not figure out that I am the sender. I haven't mailed it yet, but I thought when we opened the pressie the sender revealed themselves via a card or return address label. I guess I can make up a fake name.

That's what I was struggling with. Sometimes there is a fine line between funny and tacky; or more realistically, what I find funny, people may find tacky.

It's up to you Jen, you can id yourself, or you can leave clues, or you can choose not to id yourself at all... chances are in the long run though that people figure out who has who anyway

I think I've pretty much finished the gift yesterday, and I just 'hid' my username somewhere in the whole thing.
Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.
done. my gifts are at the ready. i LOVE all this, so fun! i will probably post em friday or saturday, only days i have before the deadline to get em out.
it does suck that we must add our name/addy/contents/value for international parcels - IF you are a santa for someone abroad that is - but last year when i received mine, i simply did not look at the customs page. afterwards sure, but for the initial opening...i made sure to disregard it.
ya think perhaps we should set a date to ALL OPEN our secret santas together? that could be kinda fun, a real frenzy of opening and then posting. just a thought.

Or.............somebody could start a "Recieved" thread and we can post if we thought our gifts were cool or not and who we think sent it, just like last year.

So much pressure, what if my reciever thinks their presents suck :(
Notice presents is plural, I've decided to spoil my reciever just in case one or two of the gifts do suck in their opinion.....I can barely take the pressure. Just wrapping and sending and hoping for the best!
