SDMB Secret Santa Gift Exchange 2016

My parcel is winging its way across the Atlantic.

I was just thinking the same thing. :slight_smile:

I am shopping tomorrow and it will go out Monday.

No spoilers, but that’s kind of awesome that you and Sir T-Cups are hoping to get mine. If the guy at the post office was right, someone will find out tomorrow. :slight_smile:

I am still dithering, which is no good when my recipient is so far away.

I sent my package out Saturday, though I was the last customer in line at the P.O. so it probably won’t ship anywhere until Monday.

Have to call a shop today and/or tomorrow for my final thing. Then I can send it out.

Hopefully my person is native to their state, otherwise the gift is gonna…lose its luster let’s say…

Shipped my package on Friday.

Package has been shipped! Should be there by the end of the week… I hope.

I mailed my package to the Great White North today.

The box to my recipient went in today’s mail and it will be there Thursday!

Postman picked up my package today (super-dooper late, like past 6pm) but it is headed to Oh-High-Oh via Priority Mail so should get there in a couple of days.

Thank you so much, **melondeca! **I love the little cat nesting dolls you got me. :slight_smile: They’re so tiny! I got a picture, which I will try to post later.

Oh, and I finally managed to track the package I sent out, and it’s on its way. :slight_smile:

I tracked mine and it was left on someone’s front porch today.

Put mine in the mail last night so it should be on its merry way down south. With luck it’ll arrive in plenty of time.

Hmmm, according to USPS my package was delivered on the 10th, but I haven’t seen my person chime in that they got it. I hope it wasn’t stolen or anything. I know this person has been on the forum since. Should I reach out to them through pm or something?

It arrived! A lovely box of goodies!

Louisiana crisps, hot chocolate, coffee, a fantastic travel cup, and a Louisiana theme can holder. The Christmas card is really funny. The cats love the box.

Thank you so much!

I just finished making a thing today and it should be on its way tomorrow.

Carnut thank you! Such lovely presents! All from Minnesota – where it is much much chillier than here. So we start with an absolutely gorgeous photo of a barred owl in a pine tree. This is an original photo - not a print. The feather are fluffed in the front around the neck but smooth on the head, and those talons look very sharp. Next I have a wonderfully large bag of tea! It says it will make 50 cups. And this is chestnut tea – I’ve never had chestnut tea before and I’m looking forward to my morning cup tomorrow. Then a darling small zipped bag - You must have gone to a craft fair for this. The zipper pull is an old coin with red cord that matches the bag - very sturdy. The bag is several patterns of red and black on one side and all black on the other, the lining is also black. I am not doing justice to this in my description. Then I have a Pearson salted nut roll. I may have that with the tea in the morning too. There are a pair of earrings of butterflies. The wings are painted wood and the bodies are metal and beads. The wings are painted on both sides, the colors tapering into different colors (like on a real butterfly) from the body out towards the outer wing. Thank you very much. These are most excellent gifts.

Mine will be going out by week’s end - I am almost done making it! :slight_smile:

I picked up my final piece and had Ms. Cups wrap it yesterday.

It’ll go out by the end of this week!
