I have recieved coffee cups in my SS package before no problem, and I've shipped breakables before as well. You just need to be sure to package your items well. Pad them, bubble wrap, peanuts, whatever it takes. That will add to your weight too though, so if you get an overseas person you may spend a lot more for it.Originally Posted by MonaxLisa
Will the hints thread start after signups are done? I'm so excited! I almost bought a coffee cup for my SS person today but I thought it was kinda risky shipping it. I'm ready to start shopping though!!
Yeah, you always have to be so right Karen!!!Originally Posted by AbbysMom
Plus you don't know who you are buying for yet.
That's what we normally do. If you don't have a name yet, there really isn't any point to having a Hints thread.
I am the exact same way. One good thing to remember too is to check the previous years hints thread as well for the person you have and you can see what they said that year too!Originally Posted by Duchess15
I finally signed up. I get wonderful ideas of what to get other people, but couldn't think of much to put in my email. I hope the hints thread will help whomever gets my name.

After she died and I heard that Sun Lee was at Siamese Rescue, I contacted them to get their mailing address, then shipped a big package of toys to share with the foster parents, and some toys specific for Sun Lee. Barbara (Sun Lee's new meowmy) contacted Siamese Rescue to find out who sent the toys, who gave her my name and she e-mailed me. I then encouraged her to come here to find out more about Sun Lee's past. She posted here a few weeks ago.
Sorry for the tangent, but my mind was on Hope also.
