SDMB Secret Santa Gift Exchange 2013

Package shipped today from Amazon! It should arrive by Wednesday or Thursday (depending on how icky the weather is).

I love Amazon Prime.

Package sent. Now, I must warn my giftee: I had to re-use a box. I needed to cover up the various writing, labels and other markings on said box. I had some acrylic paints and thought, “we’ll, I’ll paint it in festive colors!” However, despite having paint, I discoved that I have no brushes to my name. I did, however, have a flat Popsicle-stick-thingy. So I slathered and smoothed paint with that.

The results were … less “festive” and more “drunken Van Gogh on an acid bender.”

I hope you like it.

You have been warned. :slight_smile:

This morning, I was surprised by a small box full of ??? Can I last until Christmas before I open it? The clue to the mystery giver must be inside. The gift was shipped via Amazon.

I also shipped a box off though it may take longer than Christmas to reach the intended participant.

I’m planning to shop Monday and probably ship on Tuesday.

Oh, I hope I’m the recipient of this, if for no other reason, so I can see this box.

Whoever gets it needs to post a pic!

this is my plan as well. i have beethoven’s birthday off!

Sorry, haven’t shipped yet! Got the shopping part done, and I just have a little craftiness to do tonight. I’ll endeavor to get it on its way tomorrow.

I know! It sounded so pretty.

Yikes… Sil is keeping score… Okay… Mine (well… theirs) has been procured. Will be wrapped today and shipped tomorrow.

I sent out my thing today. Sent it express. I hope I addressed it properly. I really hope so. I already know, reading this thread, that the person who is getting my gift wishes they were getting a gift from someone else, so I hope they’ll like my thing anyway.

Presents ordered. Amazon says delivery of 18th for one part and 19th for the other part.

Silvorange, thanks again for doing this. This is a real highlight of my holiday season. I had such fun picking out things for my giftee, and I’m just so grateful to have a lovely present coming too! Bless your heart. :slight_smile:

I looked it up, and apparently, the recipient will receive my gift tomorrow. :slight_smile:

Mailing out mine today!! :smiley:

I mailed a package yesterday!

Shipped - I’m pretty sure he/she will have it this week.

Got my package! Thank you very much, Phall0106.

My gift will be sent by Friday, I had too many choices, it was a hard choice! It probably won’t make if for Christmas but it’ll be there for New Year’s !!!

Mine is coming, I swear! I am hoping to send it off in the next couple days. My apologies for the delay!!
