Please let me know if you didn’t get an email, or if I sent you your own name or the name of your spouse or something equally not right.
The next few steps:
Get a present for your Santee and wrap it carefully. Gift paper is nice.
Write a note to your Santee with your username and enclose it with the gift.
When you wrap it for shipping, put “SDMB” above your return address. This is a) so the person knows what this package from a complete stranger actually is, and b) so he or she can post that the package has arrived (some people like to wait and open their gifts on the 25th).
Mail it.
Post here when you have mailed (or FedExed or UPSed) it.
When your gift arrives – hopefully marked with an SDMB above the return address:
Post here that it has arrived, even if you’re not going to open it right away.
I will be keeping track of all the comings and goings, so please post both when the gift you’re sending goes out and when the gift you’re receiving arrives.
Every year, a few people get orphaned. Please, don’t let it be your person! If you’ve suddenly realized can’t send a gift, pls. email me or PM me ASAP and I’ll find someone to take your Santee.
**If you just stiff the person you’re supposed to send to, I will follow you around the boards forever making your life a living hell. This will include, but not be limited to, telling the organizer of every exchange you ever sign up for in the future that you are a deadbeat. **
My giftee’s present will be sent the week after I get back from vacation. He said he wants something local from where I am from, so it’s going to be a lot of fun shopping for him!
