Celtling and I received ours - what fun! She promptly absconded with everything she could carry, and hid the rubber pig someplace to keep me from swiping it. It was last seen with a lovely black and grey beaded scarf wrapped around it’s little neck. . .
Sent mine out Saturday. The post office insisted on using a bigger box than I thought it would, so I hope everything is okay. Nothing’s really breakable, I don’t think so… It should get there Tuesday.
All I have to say is I have enough of that kind of crap around here so don’t be shipping it out to me!
Mine is now packed, I just need to write something really quick about it and mail it off tomorrow.
having some financial difficulties this week, so i won’t be able to send my package until right on or just before the cut off date. it’ll get sent, though, don’t worry!
I will be eagerly watching this thread. After consulting with the spouse, I was unable to join in the festivities this time around. But it’s nothing but fun “watching” folks unbox their ele’s!
Glad you enjoyed it! That scarf is actually a belt but if the pig prefers it as a scarf, more power to him! Hope you liked the chicken candle - it came from Albania!
You should see her walking about with that fuchsia purse over her little arm! Too cute.
Cite!
Got mine today! I haven’t looked through it entirely - one of the cats looked like she was getting too interested in it - but the books look interesting.
So I lied. Had a crazy, but elephant-free weekend. Hope to gather some of my best…ermmmm…stuff to send in the next couple days. Watching people open their elephants is motivating, though.
Northbound elephant released!
My elephant will be heading south this week, whenever I manage to make it to the post office!
My 7 pound elephant is now marching south to the wang of America. I know I have the biggest WTF item ever given in a white elephant.
Mine is all ready to go, packed in the box and addressed. Will visit the post office tomorrow.
Mine was estimated to have been delivered by now.
Well they were really wrong, 'cause I got it last week! Lots of fun stuff … a laptop bag, some fake orchids, Christmas cookie cutters, plastic hangers, jellybeans, tupperware-type containers, two pairs of reading glasses and other stuff I don’t remember anymore. Most of it is actually useful to us, but some of it will get passed along. Thanks bunches!
ETA that mine will go out tomorrow.
North bound elephant received. Which means mine should be there soon too as mine went to Florida.
I got:
a $10 gift card to Panera, which works for a lunch so that’s awesome.
a set of cat salt and pepper shakers.
some pins that I will probably stick on my daughters backpack. Plus some glitter, which they are not getting.
a 75-300mm lens for a Canon. I have no idea what to do with it, but aren’t these things expensive? It’s also new.
a reusable bag to take to the store with Gators written on it.
A set of belly dancing finger cymbals, which I know my girls will love and I’m going to hate, 
there’s also a small book with them on how to dance.
And the best a bunch of Iron Maiden magnets made just for me! 
They’re already on the fridge.
Thanks Beetle.
Sorry about that, man…that really was a case of dumping my junk on someone else. I had bought a flash drive from some company last year and they sent me the lens by accident. I tried several times to return it, but apparently they just didn’t care enough. It’s been underfoot for months.
I finally said to myself, “This must be worth something to somebody. Maybe Edward is that somebody!”
I’m glad you liked the magnets. Now I’ll have to make some more for myself!
got it today!
i drank the water.
ok, i didn’t.
Okay, the box is ready to go, and I’m afraid mine is not full of nice stuff like everyone else’s seems to be! I hope there is at least one thing in it that doesn’t go right in the trash!
