Secret Santa Discussion Thread 2011!! - Page 20

I have a question... I know usually we all wrap the presents and do a bunch of small ones, but life got in the way this year. Would I be a bad SS if I ordered a few bigger items and shipped straight from amazon? I dont think it will get there in time if I do the shopping here, wrap, and send :(

I couldn't wrap mine as they wouldn't fir in the packagng,I too felt bad but ts the thought that counts I think and I know you like me have put a lot of thought into what you have bought.x

I was also kind of debating on sending a few things from amazon, and then a smaller package with the kitty toys, but I dont think I would be able to get it out before Christmas :(. I never send things late... grrr.... stupid life and getting in the way of fun things

Well, my SS has received her gift! I hope she likes everything I sent -- and, of course, I hope the kitties approve as well!

This year was kind of difficult. I had a lot of health issues that stood in the way of my spending my time the way I would have liked. Being in the ICU really gets in the way of things! But, I did put thought into what I purchased for my SS and it made it to her house in time. So, I think that has to count for something, right?! I just feel guilty for not doing more and for not being as devious as I'd originally planned...

Gee, I am depressed today. I don't know why I am feeling so down and out. I guess I just feel shameful about not being able to do more for others.

Anyway, enough of my whining. No gifts received her for me just yet. I've been anxiously waiting for my package to arrive from my Secret Santa. I'm a total dark-sider, but I'm thinking my SS wants me to be a light-sider this year. I guess I'll be waiting for the postman tomorrow as well -- he he! It's a good thing I'll be working almost every day this week. 'Cause, if not, there's no doubt I'd be sitting in front of the window waiting for a package. Ooh suspense...so much fun...

It's been terrific to see what everyone has sent and received so far. I love Secret Santa here at TCS!

I shipped mine the other day. I can't wait to see if my Santee likes their gifts!! I had several bad health issues so I was rather disappointed at not being able to really go wild, but I hope all goes over well.

A hint...there is NO ocean coast for my SS. 

Mine is on the way. I apologize to my Santee for forcing her to be a light-sider this year. I had everything ready to go but realized I forgot one crucial thing....a box big enough! I got one on Sunday (thanks to MIL, so it's HER cats' hair in the box, not mine) and it is current in transit. I hope you like everything. I wanted to get more but darn finances limited it a bit. It should be there Thursday or Friday so start stalking your mail box later in the week.

I know how this is. I finally got mine off today. I hated being so late, but finances and such prevented me from sending earlier. I hope my person likes her things. I had to make almost everything (except a few small bits which will be insanely obvious if she shakes the box... did I just leave a hint?). Chocolate was one thing I didn't get to put very much in... but I believe my person will like what she did get. I couldn't find Tim Tams to save my life!

Alison Joy, yes, thank you for everything. I've caught the girls mauling the one toy with the crinkly stuff inside the plush. Namely Portia... she's been quite the stinker since the vet visit.

Sent my package out today!

I mailed my SS gift on Wednesday. Tracking info shows expected delivery... yesterday... however it doesn't look like it has left the state yet.

Trust me hun, I COMPLETELY understand! I sent my SS gift Nov. 30th and have no sweet clue where it is right now.

Me too, according to the post office it should have arrived..

If one of you had me, mine hasn't been delivered yet. I don't mind though...it's fun to look forward to something after Christmas! Hopefully you'll be put out of your misery soon!

Me too. I figure it's the holidays and maybe they haven't had a chance to really investigate yet. Personally, it would drive me crazy if I didn't know who my SS present came from!
