I was able to catch the pony express rider as he passed this week so baring bandits and bad weather it should arrive in MI in a week or so. I forgot to include my info inside so if your in MI and get a slightly horsey smelling box, it's from me.

Shipped my parcel off to the USA yesterday. However I forgot to write anything about secret santa on the package. Hopefully a strange package from Canada will be enough deterrence from opening until Christmas day.

I waited for the last item to come in the mail, then finished packing up my SS box and rushed it over to the post office today at lunchtime. Did remember to mark the box with some X-mas stickers indicating "do not open until X-mas". Had so much fun putting together the SS gift package! :D

Well I ordered the main gift for my SS on line. Gonna take a few days to get shipped to me, but I should be able to get it in the mail by the 15<SUP>th</SUP> or so. A day or two should be plenty to get it to my SS, I think we have to the 20<SUP>th</SUP> right?
It’s tough because I want to add something unique. My SS seems to be into memorabilia. This is way out of my genre and I have no collection. I have only a few things – but they have way too much sentimental value for me to give away. I tried Flea bay but the stuff there seems to be waayy overpriced. Any help would be appreciated.
Much thanks

I received a package today from someone in Canada. It was not marked Secret Santa, nor did they include their username...so I opened it, and it was an early hanukkah present!
I am sending my secret santa's package out tomorrow :D

Mine will be going out Monday. I had already picked stuff up, so it's not exactly what is in the helper thread, but hopefully giftee likes the stuff or can re-gift it to someone who will.

Received two boxes this past week from my S.S. Mine will go out early this coming week--waiting on an item.

12/15 -- finally received the item and my package is shipped. Plenty of time for where it's going so no worries...

well i got home today and had some packages. i have been buying stuff on ebay for gifts so i have been getting a bunch of packages lately. i opened one up and said to myself, "when did i buy this?" thats when it hit me.. i had opened my secret santa gift. i didn't think anything of it because it wasn't marked secret santa and it had an ebay label like i am used to.

anyways, sorry to the gj for my inadvertent mistake. BUT a HUGE thanks to my secret santa whoever you are!! i love my pick and hook set! and what can i say my first snap on tool!!! thanks secret santa!! will post pics soon!!

i just purchased my gift for my recipient. it took me a while to find something good. its getting shipped to my place and i will be sending it out shortly.
