And I didn't mention before, but seriously...it doesn't matter how many items are in the package. It really is the thought that counts.

For whose who are worried. Please don't. The only thing that would disappoint me is to not get one.
And I know no one would do that here.

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
Oh this is so exciting! I've had my gifts ready to post for days but I have been sick so can't get out. Im feeling a little better now so tomorrow I will be able to post it, after one last little trip to Pets at Home...
If you have a few little things to post, what is the best way to do it? wrap them individually and then buy a brown box from the post office to ship them in? Ive never done it before....

I hope you are feeling better soon Lauren.
It would be easiest to put them all into one box. You may have one around the house from moving.


Great gifts everyone!

Yes one box would be easiest. That way you know all the things are together and not lost.

Woohoo! I just wrapped my box with the gifts inside it! I dont really think I can send it like that because the wrapping paper will get ripped so Im going to see if I can get brown thick paper or something from the post office to send it in. I think there might be a post office near work so Ill send it tomorrow lunchtime with any luck!
I really hope my SS likes their gifts! Ill be looking everyday to see if they've posted in this thread!

Everyone's presents looks so nice I am sending mine tomorow I promise. I have a cold and tomorow is the soonest I am getting to the post office.
I keep going home at night looking for somthing from my SS but no luck yet. The waiting is second best to getting the present. I might put mine under the tree to open on Christmas.... or maybe not.

For those sending internationally (just to add to my problems) seemingly it is against international customs laws to wrap the pressies individually inside - the gifts I sent my sister were returned to me by customs with a polite note saying that i was to send them unwrapped so customs can 'see' whats in it (because they can't rip the gift wrap as well as the box and brown paper wrapping that
) and now I have to pay again to resend it!
