I haven't done one bit of shopping yet. I have to wait till the end of the month, I am getting a bonus check this year and DH and I decided since its a bonus we will just act like we never got it in the first palce and use it for fun things. We have our budget all worked out so my part is going twards my SS gifts. I already know everything she/he will be getting I just need to wait till I get my bonus.

I buy more for my SS than the cats. I do include the cats but the bulk of my shopping is for my SS.
Can you imagine my own SS having to buy for all of my crew!!! Or even Katie's???
I have bought a couple of items for the kits, but still alot more to go!!
I still have plenty of time though!! Probably won't mail mine until around the first of December!!
BTW, everyone - since several of us are including home-made treats, i recommend opening as soon as receiving - at least the big box. then we'll work on getting you to open everything else!
and we do NOT want that to happenOriginally Posted by snosrap5

Poor Eva and Katie
Mine will be a mostly Meowmy gift box. Maybe some catnip for the the feline(s).
No gnomes - maybe...
I collect kitty stuff all year when I see it on sale (toys don't go bad, as long as they are well hidden from my own holligans!). So there's a bunch of kitty stuff, but that pretty well saves most all of my budget for my SS.
Noticed!!!
Oh, Kitters and I will surely enjoy it!!!
We'll deal with it if needed!Originally Posted by gemlady

I've bought almost evenly for my SS human and for their kitties. I still am looking for one thing to purchase for my SS human and I have one thing to make for my SS human and one thing to make for their kitties. Then I will be able to start wrapping and getting it ready to ship. I LOVE wrapping pretty presents!!!
I'm constantly at the Post Office because I send stuff nearly weekly to my sister in San Diego...but I always keep forgetting to ask about shipping times to (___insert destination here____).
I just signed up for the SS at work. We're doing something a little different this year. We always do small gifts for each day of week. $5/day and then a $20 gift for the potluck/party at the end. This time we have sort of a theme.
Monday something that sparkles
Tuesday something green
Wednesday something sweet
Thursday something that smells good
Instead of a gift on Friday, this year we're having a potluck on Saturday and the final gift is whatever you wish to give. We're doing this the first week of December. Sounds like fun!

That does sound like fun!! And You don't need to figure out how long to mail to me.. you know were so close, you could probably even drive it over!!
Well, one of the things I bought was a "some assembly required" so I've been working on that today. I have to say, now that I'm putting it together it's SO COOL I think I might have to get one for myself.
I Think that I have everything ordered - waiting to hear on one more item which is "backordered" I also bought some homemade catnip pouches from the Animal Allies yard sale that I worked at on Saturday. It got a "cat seal of approval" from my kids -
well, they got their own catnip to sample!

I'm getting so excited I want to package mine up and ship it but me and DH discussed when to ship it yesterday.
UPS just delivered a box and inside is something for my SS.
I also bought some chocolate because it was on special.
must. not. eat. all. the. chocolate.....

I went to the store last night and bought three bags of Dove Milk Chocolate Promises With Almonds. When I got home, I looked at my list of SS clues. My SS prefers dark chocolate. Gee...... I certainly CAN'T let the milk chocolate promises go to waste....

Try not to suffer too much with those three bags.
I ordered the cutest thing for my SS. I got it and loved it. But thought, maybe they would like it in a different color better, yes, I'm sure they would. So I had to order another one and guess I will keep this one for myself.
Its ok, you can go back and get my dark chocolate next timeOriginally Posted by Pookie-poo
