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.

You already know I am on The Dark Side and I want it now!

I'd like you to do it however will give YOU the most pleasure, because no matter how you do it, I'm going to love it.

Dear Santa,

I would prefer little teasers while I wait for the grand finale.

Thanks for asking.

Sincerely, your Santee

Hmmmm, I wonder the same question about my Santee....whether they would prefer a few little packets or just one package near xmas time? Hmmmmmm

But also, if $$$ is an issue for my SS, send it all at once and send it the slow way.

I am eager! Hmm does that mean I shipped already or just thinking about it.

BTW I love couponing so if your short on cash, just print some coupons for me.

I am in agreement as well.

I'll wait for one big box!

I had some time between appointments this Wednesday so I put a good dent in my SS shopping list! I got my SS something that they seem to really want according to what I've been reading. Plus some things for the feline side of things! Meow!!

I would say "Surprise me!" LOL

Dear Santee,

Your kitty/kitties is/are fully stocked with toys now. I plan on going to Target to find you ______ and maybe while I am there I can find you a ________. Of course I can't forget to get you a lot of _________ along with _________ to go with it. I am so excited to find these things for you and hope you will enjoy them as much as I do!

Your Secret Santa

 

[monaxlisa]

Well, I've sorted though everything I bought and I really do think I'm done, unless I find a few cute small things between now and shipping time(s). I just might start wrapping, even though it's super early!

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?

Its okay, I realy don't mind things being a different color. Feel free to send my pressie any time after thanksgiving!

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.

Darn hubbies!
