I just finished wrapping up my
for my secret santa recipient!


It's all ready to be mailed out...now I have to wait to send it...or do I?


I apologize in advance for the extra cat hairs that are included, but Ferris
and Ginger
insisted on inspecting everything carefully as I boxed it up. They want you to know that they enjoyed helping, and wish that they could have played with the packing peanuts. (Yes, I said nuts.
)

I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to Christmas for a change - who knew what joining TCS could do for a person besides help them be a better cat owner?!?!


Now comes the anticipation....

O-H-I-O!
I have one or two more small things to get and I am all ready as well. Everything is in the box, ready to be finished and sent
I CANNOT WAIT! My recipient is the best and I can't wait until they get it! Now, when should I mail it?

Oooh I've still got to send mine. Meant to do it last week, but I wanted to add one more thing. Went all around town looking for it, nowhere to be found.
Oh well, I'm sure they'll enjoy the gift anyways. Push & Wiggies enjoyed "helping me" - they very thoughtfully tested out one of the gifts so vigorously that I thought I'd have to keep it.

I've got everything together, including a suitable box and customs forms, but still have to wrap the individual items.

I thought that if you are using a customs form, that you aren't supposed to individually gift wrap the items, that they are supposed to stay unwrapped to ease them getting through customs.

Last year I wrapped all the things individually and didn't have a problem, but be prepared that it may get opened and unwrapped. Also be very very open on what is in the package.

I have everything except the item I won't get until it's time to send the parcel. I need to consider box, and do the internal wrapping, but I have plenty of time for that.

Usually the recipient has to go pick up the box at customs if it's held back, and open it in the presence of a customs officer, so it really doesn't make a difference.

I'm done shopping too, it's all good to go, I reeeeaaallly enjoyed the shopping, but I did get REALLY frustrated after looking all over 2 towns and not being able to find things that I knew my SS would love

I really hope my SS isn't disappointed




Is Renovia the first to recieve their parcel?

Congratulations, Renovia, Stoli and Luxor, you win the prize for being the first to recieve your SS! Lets have a party!

No ripping into them! Did everyone wait last year?

I don't know if I'd be able to wait though!

Aha, now I know where she's shipping to! Now that country has some odd customs regulations.
