Secret Santa Gift Arrivals

[Zamric]

I thought I'd start a thread for all those Secret Santa gift that are starting to arrive.

Mine has come in today. It is something from Amazon but I wont be opening it anytime soon (Unless Santa says it's OK! ) It is Currently sitting on my Fireplace Mantel, so who ever my secret Santa is.... Your gift has arrived safe and sound!

1st gift of the season!

 

[Jacqui]

Okay, sooooo who are you guessing sent it and what do you think it is????

 

[Yvonne G]

OOO! thanks for starting this thread. I hate to shop, so I'm not participating, but I get excited reading about everyone receiving their gifts and telling about what they got.

 

[wellington]

I'm with Yvonne. I too don't participate, although I like too shop, just not for people that are too hard to buy for, like people you don't really know. I do love read the post though. Can't wait to see more gift arriving and what they are

After you make your guesses, your SS says you may open your gift. We want to see what you gotso pictures please!!

Well, without a comprehensive list of all the players in the game and with the only clue being the card inside that says "A gift from Pamala (last name removed)"

... I'm guessing Pam from Minnesota...

... and my guess as to the gift?

The box is 4"x5"x12" and has a lable that says... "StealStreet" "gift, jewelry, home decor, collectables and much more from StealStreet.com

I put my collections as Wizards and Dragons.... I'm guessing a Wizard or Dragon.... the box is tall for a Wizard.... so maybe a Dragon?

I'm participating (haven't mailed the gift yet, will get it out this weekend) but I was wondering if I'm supposed to put my name/username on the card. Or is the receiver really supposed to guess? Just include some kind of clue...? I guess I don't really know how to play SS

 

[Jacqui]

I thought on the other thread there was a complete list of names (16 I think?). I need to check on that.

Lisa, some folks decide to put their mailing address on the top corner where it normally goes. When I did mine, I didn't choose to go that way. I put something like Secret Santa, 101 Snowtortoise Lane, North Pole. I even mailed mine from another state to further confuse things.

So sneaky and her poor husband, having to do all her dirty work I think a good idea would be to not put your name, but you could put your address, as we don't know most members address, only state and there is usually more then one member from that state. So, if you try to guess, before looking at the list, it would be a little harder to guess, then you could check your guess to the list.

Just an idea from a non participating member

No, he didn't. Though I wish he could, he would have a hard time finding an actual post office to mail it, since it's a box. I only know one truckstop that actually has a post office within it. Many have mailboxes, but you can't do packages that way. No, I myself drove to another state to mail it.

You are right its me Pam I didn't know they were going to add my name to the card I hope you like it

I will open it this evening when I get home! NOW I'm all excited about Christmas!

 

[theresal]

This is exciting! I wish the gift I ordered for my SS would hurry up and get to my house so I could mail it out. I ordered it the day I found out my SS. You know it really is difficult to buy for people you know let alone someone you don't. And you just have a couple sentences on what they like. So, I hope my SS enjoys their gift.

I mailed my SS gift out yesterday, I hope they like it! [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

 

[sissyofone]

I'm mailing my as gift out this weekend. I'm excited and I hope my person enjoys their gift.

This is almost as much fun as Christmas day don't you think? All the suspense. I am sure your SS will like the gift.

 

[LolaMyLove]

I mailed mine yesterday. UPS ground wanted $25, I almost choked. It went USPS instead, wounded how long it will take to get there.

 

[Zamric]

Just mailed 2 packages to my kids in Germany (APO) at a cost of $75! It cost 2/3 what I spent on all the gifts in the 2 boxes....geeesh!

 

[wellington]

One thing to consider for next year, is to order online and either get free shipping or minimal shipping and have the item sent right to your SS. Might be cheaper that way.
I can't wait until you all get them and share pics. It is exciting Jacqui.
