Guess that means I'll have to buy a new one. Or send it with the teeth marks!

I don't plan to post until November as there are some places I'm going to then where I think I will get good gifts. I've checked the last date for airmail though and should get it sent off a couple of weeks before the deadline for christmas delivery. It won't be early though.
Tested or Sampled toys and such are always allowed! Kitters has gotten sampled toys and she loved them too!

Yes she did!!!
She was begging to get into the box before I ever got the blakets out! It was a huge hit!

I think that's a given for all SS participants. I'd be amazed to see a package come from a kitty home hair free.

I take it we can send the stuff early, I'm going to wait though.
Do we send the gifts anonymously?

Its all up to you how you want to send it. I'm not very clever with thinking up hints or anything, so not sure if I will try to hide my identity

Erm, I don't know the answer to that one. That's a good question, though. This is my first year.

It's totally up to you. Some people sign their names and try to hide their identity and some don't. Some put hints in the package and some don't.

I love having to guess my ss's identity. It makes things worth while after all it wouldn't be a secret if you knew who it is before you open it. (in my opinion anyhow) I am thinking up hints already

Well, I think I'm done shopping! Now I've just got to sit and wait for time to mail


Now that I'm basically done, I'm going to sit and drive myself crazy wondering who MY SS is!

As for slippers, I've decided I'm going to start wearing them all the time at home, since even though I sweep what seems like twice a day, I'm STILL always walking on cat litter! That's the downfall of hardwood floors throughout the house, lol.

You know.. if I say that to everyone I'm liable to be right once!
I'm so bad at trying to figure out who had me, but I always have fun and try anyways.
