The White Elephant Exchange 2007

Just sent mine out!

My office thought the idea of a white elephant exchange was a brilliant one. Now they wish THEY knew a bunch of strangers to send their weirdo stuff to.

My elephant will be heading out on Monday. It has been carefully swaddled in bubble wrap and nestled in brown paper. I even dusted it before I wrapped it! It’s headed East.

Our elephants will be heading out next week. There is something from my office that will fit in quite nicely, but I won’t be able to get them until then.

My elephant went out about 30 minutes ago.

I didn’t send a list, because I wasn’t sure what was going in my box until I started packing and I don’t have a working printer at home. I am not subjecting anyone to my handwriting…there is only so much someone should have to suffer when receiving a white elephant from me.

Can’t wait to hear it made it across country.

I’m forbidden by the Geneva Convention to make people read my handwriting.

Le Package of Crapola is enroute.
To where, I ain’t saying.

My shipment shall be delayed a bit, as this weekend’s planned travels to my Mom’s (where all the good stuff is) has been postponed till next weekend due to family illness. :frowning:

I just had a nightmare, so I got up to walk it off.

Hypno-Toad & fisha, you aren’t supposed to tell!! You wait for the vict…recipient to say they got the package. If they don’t figure it out, then you can tell!

Remember, we have to say (here or in a new thread) what we got.

BTW, Mahout Mailman started East about noon on Friday.

My box is going out in Monday’s mail. :smiley:

My box is all packed - stuffed to the gills, really - and ready to go to the 24-hour post office sometime tomorrow.

You play by your rules, I’ll play by mine.

My apologies…My package will be going out Monday. This week has been crazy busy!!

I spent alll Saturday AM getting my box ready, choosing what would go. Then I realized that Ithe post office closed at 1. So, it will start its migration on Monday.

OH and was I the only person tempted to give a fake address. So I could get rid of stuff and let someone else get a box of weird stuff?

I had one of those receipts from the post office the other day. I thought it might have been my white elephant, but the name was Dirt Track and I couldn’t find anyone’s name here with that name. When I picked it up it said documentary not pornography and I remembered that I had ordered a DVD from India.

My elephant will be trundling west tomorrow. The box is chock full o’ elephanty goodness.

My Elephant(s) is heading to FL for the winter.

My elephant will be heading out by the end of the week… with my sister-in-law visiting I haven’t had a chance to gather up jun… uh… classy items to give out.

looks like i may be the first to post… I GOT ONE!

the elephant has landed. luckily i have a doctor appt today and was home when the postman rang once.

i got lots of nifty stuff…

an audubon puzzle of a cardinal in snow
alphabet soup pasta
a fish lure (from fisha?..hhhmmmm)
bandaids
clothes hook
playdo
compass
halogen light bulb
mysterious plastic oval things.

and a nifty viking boat. i think i see a dozen of eriks and one bill on the boat. the cats approve of it, so it will be placed on a table in the living room next to the danish wooden troll.

thank you!!! a most wonderful way to start a monday.

My pachy started tromping southward Saturday midday. My house feels lighter and the best part was, searching for items made me neaten up some of my junkier drawers.

The doorbell rang as I was sitting here packaging up my elephant – t’was the mailman, bearing a shark-infested* parcel!

However, I’m not opening my inbound package until my outbound package is all ready to go. Update in an hour or two.
