I'm not finished buying, but I am going to try to keep flat stuff in mind for the rest of the gifts. I don't want Santee's gift to be completely destroyed by the time it gets there!

Well, dear recipient, you said you like _____________ and I thought that would be a cool thing to get for you, but I was kind of scratching my head about where would be a good place to look for this. So, the other night I was in _________________ and realized I was close to _______________ and that they would probably have some _______________. Little did I know, they had lots of _______________ and I had the devil's own time choosing, but choose I did. I hope you like the ______________ I found for you.

I've also ordered a ______________ online and it's on its way to me. I have one almost like it and it occurred to me some time ago that this is something you might like, so I'm really happy to have the opportunity to share this.

Oh, and the other night, when I found the ____________? I was also in another place that had lots of _________________ that I think you'll like, but I need a little more time to make my selections. I'm in there pretty often, so next time I'll do that.

Just in case it was not obvious, I'm having fun!

Well, I think I'm almost finished, my box is getting pretty full. I bought a special box of chocolates for my santee, I'm just worried about sending them because they have filling and are super sweet!

Uh, I would be worried about eating them before I had a chance to send them.

If the "Santee" is the recipient, does that make you the "Santor?"

Yea I think I have to send two boxes. The "large" flat rate are small...not like the big boxes you see in the received threads. I might do one for pets and one for the pet owner

Not only did I receive a box of stuff I ordered (some of which may be utilized in a Secret Santa gift) I got a hug from the driver! It was someone I had gone to grade and high school with.


Dear recipient

I have been unable to get ____________ in your favorite color. I do promise not to substitute one in your least fave color. How soon do you want it?
