Does anyone feel like White Elephanting?

Mine hasn’t arrived but I thought I ask this now, anyway.
Are we going to havea seperate thread again telling what we got? or just continue this one?
My vote is to continue here. Then there’s no confusion.

I would prefer to continue here. Also, in a month, anyone who hasn’t recieved anything should post here also. :slight_smile:

My elephant is packed and ready to ship.

Should go out tomorrow provided I can get to the post office.

I have received!

W00t. Some actual cool, useful stuff in here! Notebooks! pretty-smelling body spray! Mini-sewing kit!

Flowery…uh…that Hawaiian necklace thingy! Which is not useful, but fun to have!

I’m glad it arrived, NinjaChick. Everything arrive okay?

I forgot to include my name with the package. :smack:

Oh, whomever I sent mine too, I did not include any note inside because I was in a rush to close it up and get out of the house that AM.

Mucho Apologies.

Everything was indeed fine. Though I must say, I got a slightly bewildered look from the guy who was working in the mailroom, when he checked my name on the pickup slip with the name on the box. :smiley:

I didn’t put my name in the box, just the list. But you already knew it was me. :smiley:

Woohoo! I got my goodies! Draelin, you made my day!! I copied your post of the contents, and I’ll add my comments:

I really like this! It’s very soft and really neat! I won’t even tell you about my first knitting projects, altho I got lots better.

I was going to get my husband a puzzle to amuse himself while he’s recuperating - now I don’t have to! :smiley:

I never even heard of this one, but if I get bored enough, I might attempt to watch it.

I see these going to Florida - my daughter likes computer games, and she hangs with a bunch of nerd gamers.

I see this in my cubicle at work.

Maybe if we get snowed in…

I never got into X-Files, but I have a friend who did, so he may be getting a gift.

I flipped thru it and immediately thought “DopeFest!!”

hehehe - an AirForce pilot in my office just hung up a model of the plane he flew. I’ll have to hang this up.

Wonder how artistic my nephew is??

And I sent my Pez dispenser to my WE victim…

Stunning - what time is 17??

I also see this in my cubicle - I go for the eclectic.

Words fail me…

Never heard of these, but I won’t use them in the house!

Very very orange!

Very very pink

Very very sequinned. Ya know, I have swampy’s home address… hehehe

It just so happens that you spent exactly the same on postage that I did - which means by weight, I got as much as I gave! So it’s a wash for me! :smiley:

Thanks for such, um, interesting cra… er… stuff!

For the record, FCD thought the knitted scarf was kinda neat, too!

I would ship my package out today, but the weather is so bad down here, I guess I am going to have to wait until Monday…

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to send out my elephant yet - it will go out monday
but i don’t feel too bad - i haven’t received the elephant being sent to me yet
It’s cool - the anticipation is fun too

I packed my elephant up over the weekend and brought it to the post office today. I must have gotten a little carried away or there is a real elephant in that box because it cost me $23 in postage.

May my elephantee receive and enjoy!

:slight_smile:

I sent mine out today! Priority even. Enjoy, elephantee!

Unforeseen circumstances means no trip to the PO this weekend, so it will go out on Saturday before we head for the RenFaire. Sorry, elephantee!

I’m starting to get a little concerned. I mailed out a priority package a week ago today, but I haven’t heard whether or not my elephantee received it. I hope it got there okay!

You should get two boxes today. I sent three but number three was just returned to me as the shipping lable fell off. I’m resending that one and you should get it by the end of the week.
Zebra, who didn’t put his dope name on the box.

Well, I missed the exchange, but I can go drop these in his bushes if you want.

Hmmm - forgot to identify myself in the package… or maybe that was self defense? You’ll know it is me by the postage :slight_smile: Or by the return address?

I didn’t include a list either… I just packed and taped and shipped.

hangs head in shame

And the nice UPS man delivered unto me an elephant of such dazzling whiteness never before imagined :slight_smile:

My kids have happily absconded with much of the loot. The stress ball, bubble wrap, crayons and the denim shirt were the first to go.

I’m not sure what to do with the lampless shade but I really like the scarf :slight_smile: The birdhouses will probably end up in my garden. We already had Frogger but I know someone else who might like a copy.

I would love to write more but I must rescue my super heroes before they kill themselves!
