Bubble wrap is your friend!
Also, I insure everything, usually for the smallest possible amount. I’ve found that insured packages arrive intact, while uninsured packages gets crushed. It’s really more protection money than insurance.
I’m on my way to the post office now!
I got an ornament yesterday. I’m looking at it now, and it’s so plain! I’m too embarrassed to send it, so I’m going to go look for another one. I thought about MAKING an ornament, but I just don’t have the motivation (or craftiness).
Back from the post office . . . my ornament went out today, priority mail.
I sent mine out today priority.
Mine is going to be late… we have to go out of town for a few days for a funeral and I haven’t managed to get it to the post office in all the other crap I’ve been doing.
I am so sorry.
I’m off to the wilderness for a Christmas fair. I’ll stop at the Post Office before I leave civilization, so Tamarin’s cute, little _______ will be on its way.
I’ll be back by Monday, unless I’m eaten by a bear or something.
I sent mine yesterday. Something made and something “local”.
Enjoy, it, Edward the Head.
Everything arrived just fine yesterday, Elenia. The ornament is lovely - I love all of the colors and the jewels and glitter. I really like the shape of it, too. Most of my glass ornaments are balls, and I like having something a little different.
I won’t be able to get to the post office until TUESDAY, so don’t worry - I didn’t forget about you. I have a lunch date on Monday and a meeting after work, so I just can’t go to the PO tomorrow.
I found the perfect ornament…on display on a tree at a Festival of Trees I attended this weekend. So bear with me for a few days, phall while I try and find out where I can purchase one. I will definitely have an ornament out to you by the end of this week.
I’m mailing mine out tomorrow. And like a big silly, I sealed it up without putting my name inside. :smack: So, MissTake, your ornament is on it’s way, from a very distracted DeVena and DeHusband. Merry Christmas!
Mine will be off tomorrow too. I bubble wrapped the heck out of it, so it should get there safely.
I have to confess, my dear, a large part of the reason I bought it was because it came in that nice little box! Anyway I’m glad you like it. I love brightly colored things - I’m like a bird that way. And the little water gun is just for fun - I picked up a pack of them and have been putting them in all my gifts.
Whenever you can send is fine, it’s loads of fun anytime.
I got my package sent off tonight. It was nearly two pounds, but a lot of it was chocolate…
…dark chocolate…
…mmmmmm chocolate <drools>…
…I…uh…wonder if I can get that package back…
Ah well, enjoy N. Sane. 
Sent my package to sassy on Saturday. I’m shipping it first class, so it should be there in 3-5 days. Hope you enjoy it!
N.Sane isn’t going to be able to log on for a few days, but I will be sure to give her your message.
–Izzybella (N.Sane’s sister, who has sudden desire to um…help–yeah, yeah, that’s it—her sister out by checking her mail for chocolate…I mean an ornament coming from the great Evil Ash. I mean, since she’s so busy and all. Mmmmm…chocolate!!!)
Dang it! Every time I see this thread, I read the title:
Ooh! How about an Ointment Exchange?
It’s HORRIBLE!
Elenia, yours went out in the mail today, thoroughly bubble-wrapped with some tasty treats tossed in. I sent it by Priority, so it should be there by Friday.
Enjoy!
I got them yesterday, they haven’t gone on the tree just yet, but they will tonight. Yours were sent out the other day. They come from Amsterdam.
My ornament is now on its way to Iris!
