I promise I was a good girl tonight. I bought you a ________ that was this ______________________________________________ tall. It had a cat lover written all over it. I think it will go nice with the ___________ I picked out for you.

FYI: Yankee fans-for those who shop in store.

Nice! Save me lugging a super sized box upstairs when it comes.

I think you both missed the purpose of my message!

Still hungover?

I have been busy shopping. I would be horrible at doing the blanks hints sorry. So lets just say that although we just bought a house and I should be spending my weekends working on projects, I always seem to find a reason to go out secret santa shopping. I love suprise gifts, I'm addicted!!

Dear recipient, since I am housebound and hubby was going to stop at _______ last night, I asked him to look for ______. He was in a fairly spacey mood, so needless to say, he couldn't find it. I am hoping to have your package in the mail soon. I already have ______ and a _______. The problem is that I saw _______ and really thought that you would love it. I guess I will have to ask hubby to take me to _______ this weekend.

Hubbies can be dense sometimes...

Yeah, mine never seems to be able to find the _________, even when it's in plain sight!

 

[AbbysMom]

Well, sometimes there is a benefit to not doing your shopping early.

We had someone drop out today and had to shift the names around a bit.

So, just a reminder to all -

If for some reason you find yourself unable to fulfill your SS obligation, please let us know as soon as possible so other arrangements can be made.

 

[AbbysMom]

To my recipient ( I just haven't been able to embrace the term "Santee"

)

I am more than 90% done shopping for you. I have stalked your posts and studied the hints you gave and think you will be happy with what you receive

. I need to do a little assembly and perhaps some baking. I don't want to send things out too early, so everything is tucked away in my closet and won't see the light of day until much closer to Christmas.

You, too, eh?

Just thought I'd let my recipient know that the ____________that I ordered online has arrived, and is everything I had hoped for. Still need to go back to ___________________ and pick up those _________________, though.

OK, a few PM's are going to prompt a few more reminders.

If you are moving or have moved since sending in your address, please let us know so we can pass the information along to your Secret Santa.

Also, if you know you will be away around Christmas, please let us know so your SS can get your package to you in time or you can provide an alternate address.

Thanks!

That's alright, I'm very patient!

 

[alleygirl]

I'm nearly done shopping but won't be mailing until much closer to Christmas

Dear Santee,

I have a question for you. Would you prefer to receive a number of little trinkets leading up to the grand finale, or get your grand finale present first? Or should I just leave you hanging for a long time and send you a huge box of things closer to Christmas?

If you want a hint about your grand finale present, let's just say that it's something that will either cause you to a) pick up your phone to call all your friends and brag about what you just received, b) laugh so hard that your stomach will hurt, c) grab a camera to post a picture here immediately, or d) all of the above. You can use a lifeline to resolve this question.

I'm flexible, just let me know.

 

[weldrwomn]

Hmmm....I can't stand to be left hanging, so how about the first option

I can't wait to find out about the grand finale
