Secret Santa 2003!

If you giftee is a newbie you can read ALL of their posts. Like I did this year. And Last year. I always seem to get the newbies.
Oh well. Been sick for a week so I’d better get on the ball.

Yeah, my first. But far it be from me to whine about it. I’m sure there are others who have it just as bad and are not getting anything.
This will also be my first Christmas alone. With family or…well…someone to hold or love…

But I deal. Even this shall pass. :slight_smile:
Thank you for your thoughts. I will be doing the same for you, kind soul.

Just ordered my gift, it should go out tomorrow!!!

I hope they like it. I wish I could have had it the gift sent here to me first, so I could have wrapped it, but there’s no time because my giftee is way too far away. It wouldn’t get there in time for Christmas.

So, Secret Santa victim, I’m sorry your gift won’t reach you wrapped :frowning:

When do we tell whose name we got, anyway? There’s no way they’re gonna know who I am by my return address, assuming that the gift shop puts my address on the package, which they probably won’t …

My gift goes out today! My giftee posted a wish list, so I know they’ll like what they’re getting.

I’m enclosing a brief note to my giftee, to add a personal touch. That way they’ll know who I am.

In the past, as soon as people received their gifts, they’d start a thread telling what they got and from whom. So if your recipient posts and wonders who sent it, you could 'fess up there!

Mine went out 2 days ago so I’m hoping to see a post within a week. I’ll be posting myself before the tattered bits of wrapping paper have had a chance to fall to the ground. I’m worse than a kid when Secret Santa comes to town! :smiley:

Well mine will go out on the 19th - I get paid on the 18th. :slight_smile: But I’m telling my giftee who I am - AND I might even send 'em a picture - they’ll be the only doper who knows what Missy2U looks like!

Yes, I am weird. :smiley:

w00t, I got mine! Many thanks to RickQ, who sent me something I would have seen, coveted, and then not bought. I love it! :smiley:

I’m sending my person’s out as soon as Tark gets home and I can wander out to the post office. It’s my opinion that everyone should get a toy for whatever holiday they’re celebrating, so I hope it’s not too disappointing. :slight_smile:

Darn. With all those "he"s I know you didn’t pick my name, so maybe I am just jealous, but weren’t we supposed to stay in the $10 range? I don’t want anyone to feel bad if they stayed within the posted limit.

I definitely stayed in the around $10 range. I hope I did well by my giftee, but I don’t know yet.

I haven’t found my secret santa’s present yet.

So, in the near future, I will be doing this, possibly tomorrow and it is really hard for me as I have been waffling between about 6000 things I’ve seen around and in stores and on the web.

Then I have to go into Defcom 4.5 to find a box.

I started a thread for giftees to brag. It is here.

My gift was in the $10 range, too.

I have my giftees present (although one bit short- in attempting to remove the tag, it opened… and… well…one just cannot send opened chocolate! I HAD to eat it!), but it won’t be mailed until Saturday morning. :frowning:

My giftee’s gift went out today. I did some sleuthing around the boards so I think they will appreciate their gift. I hope so anyways!

I also sent my gift out today. It should get there in 5 days. I didn’t manage to stay in the $10 range but I saw two things my giftee wanted and couldn’t resist. Enjoy.

I still haven’t bought my giftee a present yet. But, I will around the 16th or 17th as I tend to shop in the last days before Xmas anyway.

Mine was a bit above the 10 dollar range, but not very much so.

Anyway, I’m mailing it out tomorrow!

Yeah, sorry about going out of the price range. But seriously, Im just not as clever as you people. I couldn’t think of anything to get for that price. I paid a lot more, and I still didnt think it was that cool. But after I saw it, I kinda liked it. You guys always come up with cool inexpensive stuff…

Mail runs real slow in these parts, FairyChatMom, and sometimes so do the people who get the mail. :smiley:

I loved my gift! And I say loved, because it’s almost all gone! Chocolate, ladies and gents, fabulous chocolate is what our dear sweet FCM sent her giftee. Lindt ™ dark chocolate: truffles and cocoa squares. The truffles are fabu… I pop one in my mouth and it melts so devinely… it’s like silk for your mouth.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Oh, and BTW, my giftee should be expecting a prezzie w/in the next 5 or so days… it went out today.

And before I forget: I love the cocoa squares, too… didn’t want to sound like I didn’t. :wink:
