Me Too! Unless the girls get to it first
My wrapping turned out terrible! My idea of putting things in gift bags and then boxing just didn't work due to space issues. I am so afraid my SS may be disappointed when he or she recieves the non-wrapped gifts. I want my SS to know I really did put a lot of thought into the gifts, I just have severe packing issues.
I'm a definite member of the dark side, but since money is tight this year and DH and I aren't buying for eachother this year, I may save my SS presents to have something to open on Christmas morning
I can sympathize. Amazing what you can do with tissue paper and a piece of ribbon.Originally Posted by nurseangel

Don't fret. Some of my things are so big that you can't wrap them. We can start a club for people that don't wrap their SS gifts.Originally Posted by nurseangel

Oops - did I give a hint here?
Now that Ive purchased the Tim Tams (regular and caramel) my local store sells, Ive completed my SS shopping
Ill wrap and pack up by the end of the week, and ship off, in plenty of time for a Christmas arrival, despite having to travel more than one timezone to the east!
(thats the only hint Ill give bwa hahahaha)

Not to worry!! It may be a bit of a clichÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] by now, but it's still true that it's the thought that counts. And having been in the position of not wrapping (I love to wrap, so that was hard) I know it's hard to remind yourself of that. I'll love everything, even if it's not wrapped!Originally Posted by nurseangel

I am feeling much better about my wrapping or lack there of wrapping job.
I'm ok with tree boxes, that may make the holiday that much better... Open one a day!!
Some of us will be ok with that, cuz even the lighsiders on here want to see their gifts get opened by a darksider FAST!!!!
Nop, cuz I'll open them too!!
Uggh, yeah,... that's right, right to MY waist! My cookies Jan!
Thats ok with me!
Hey now... she's sending it to me!
That's ok, you can mail it to me in a day or two, but not any longer than that!
Ok, I guess I can wait that long.... But only becuase Thanksgiving will give me a little break of thoughts of Christmas!
Woohoo!!!
Yay!!!
I'll wait for it! And have a little cutter ready to open!Originally Posted by rapunzel47
Wrapped, boxed, packed, addressed, taped within an inch of its life. Ready to ship. Tomorrow? Who knows?
That's ok, Kitters will love the cat hair, claim the bit of sweater as her own and rip the tissue paper to shreds and then call it home for a few hours!!
I'll take them early!
Good!!
No, you are mailing to me!!!!Originally Posted by Snake_Lady
Good to know..... I'll mail it out on the last possible date
or will I?
Am I even mailing to you?
hmmmmmmm
I won't mind at all!
Me and DH never really buy eachother anything FOR christmas, but we are actully going to have a tree this year so, I am not sure what side I will be on, I guess it depends on when it arrives!!!
I will pretend I don't know it's your present when I get it even if I know right away!
Maybe I should send them to my SS as well, since I found them AGAIN in one of our stores!!!
Me too! Kitters like the boxes more anyways!
And I'll love it all just the same!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH.Originally Posted by Februa

I will pretend I don't know it's your present when I get it even if I know right away!Actually it's about half and half with wrappers and unwrappers.

Did someone buy Tim Tams?
Well, I have most of my stuff wrapped, and Freya only took off with one gift that I had to rescue...of course then I had to remove her from the box about 10 times so you'll know I'm you SS if you get a box full of brown tabby fur.
I better get started with my shopping!
Can we say "procrastinator"? Don't worry though Santee, I know just what I'm going to get you and you're kitty (kitties?).
I went shopping today and went way overboard.
My ss will get a large box.
My ss will get a large box.
I still have a few small things but nothing too major left to buy! I'm waiting until we go to Kentucky because the Beau's family owns an auction house and they have a big lot of christmas stuff this week so maybe I will find something! And yeah... its going to be a very large box...
I found a box that may work, just need to take it home from work today and see if everything fits
Well, I decided I should ship. There are some semi-perishable goodies in the box, but since everything is wrapped, my recipient can stay mostly on the light side if s/he wants to.
