The Secret Santa Discussion Thread - 2009

Yes, blaming the fuzzies is always allowed, and most of the the time, it really IS their fault anyways... Or maybe it's t the SS's fault for putting catnip or chocolate in it. Maybe we, I mean they, wouldn't open it if it didn't have those SMELLS!!! mmmmm

 

[sillyjilly]

Dear SS,

Yesterday I made _________ and haven't figured out yet if they should __________ or ______________. Today I made you a 2 ________ for ________ and 4 other __________. I think the _________ turned out really cute! I sure hope you like them. I think my box might end up being too small, but the really good thing is I am a super packer so your box might work and be just REALLY FULL!!! Hope you don't mind!!!

Trying to decide when to mail. Don't want to mail it too soon, but don't want to wait for the last minute either!

The sooner you mail it, the sooner I can open it

 

[snake_lady]

Oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I just checked the tracking info on my pkg and it said:

Item on hold at postal facility to verify address of recipient.


hmmmmmmmmmm. What does that mean?

I finished my shopping for my Secret Santee.

Am I your Secret Santa?

Hint: You are west of the Mississippi

 

[nurseangel]

I'm finished shopping and ready to wrap. Debating on whether to wrap them all or leave a few open? One thing I'm sure of, I'm doing all my wrapping and packaging at my mom's. No Daisy there.

She has two cats

, but no Daisy

. Nothing against Daisy, of course, I'd just like the gifts to arrive pretty much in the condition in which I bought them.

That makes me so much happier! I was really worried you'd not like it!

I hate having to hide ________ from DH's!!

Well, dear recipient, the last elusive ___________________ has been acquired. Saw one other thing I thought you might like, too, and decided to add it. Wrapping will probably happen Sunday afternoon. There aren't many stray minutes between now and then. Should be a pretty full box once everything is wrapped. Sorry there won't be much in the way of packing tissue for the feline contingent.

I'll probably get it in the mail on Monday or Tuesday and hope it takes a week or so to get to you, so that it's at least December, but there's still some time built in for the unexpected. Yeah, I think that's what I'll do.

 

[zorana_dragonky]

Dear Secret Santa recipient,

Guess what? I bought some new _______ today, so I can make you more presents! Awesome, right? I was thinking about buying a few ______ and maybe some ______ to round out your box. I'm expecting to ship the first week of December.

I hope you love it.

 

[gemlady]

I saw that Peppermint Bark at the store this morning. Didn't buy any - yet...

 

[pushylady]

I got some more gifts for my SS today. Sheesh, I just can't seem to stop shopping! Any excuse will do.

 

[gemlady]

I have talked to my baker and they will be making a special treat for my recipient after the US Thanksgiving holiday. Hopefully I will be able to mail my package to _________ at the beginning of December.

 

[crazyforinfo]

OK the post office really needs to rethink what they call a LARGE box. LMAO

SS looks like you are getting 3 boxes. I am sure you won't mind. I might just have to spread the shippings out too.

They really are small huh? I haven't wrapped anything yet to see what will fit, but I may have the same problem

I don't mind at all. Thanks for being so thoughtful

 

[capt_jordi]

I would just like my SS to know that there is no chance of me being a lightsider. Sorry! I can barely keep a secret! Much less stare at a box that may have chocolate in it!
