I just love the fact that all the posts are talking about how much crap we have, and how we’d like to get rid of our crap and get new crap, and the Google ads are for plastic storage bins. 😃 ---

Ok, all of the e-mails have been sent! Please try to ship out before October 1st - also please report here when you receive your package. If you haven’t received anything by October 1st, let me know and I’ll send an uber-snarky e-mail! If I get no response or the response indicates no package is en route, I’ll re-assign your name to someone else. Remember - No grousing about missing packages until October 1st! Thanks and let the elephanting begin! ---

I didn’t get my package yet! 😃 Just a helper for those like me whose inboxes are a disaster, the subject heading for my and presumably your package instruction email is “Welcome to the 2008 SDMB White Elephant Exchange!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/white-elephant-2008/458001.md?page=3)
