No hints from me.....other than I hope that the package which I sent last week has been delivered. Please be sure to post all deliveries to your home!

Uh-oh. I put a card inside from me and used my "real" name, even put a business card inside too. Are we not supposed to reveal our identities?

revealing yourself is personal preference, mine is to keep the secret going if i can

Righto - its off into the wilds of the postal service....hopefully it will turn up in one piece unmolested by customs (I may have "padded" the truth on the customs declaration)

My shopping is finished and gifts are going out today. I really had fun shopping this year so I hope recipients are pleased.

I reveal myself if asked since I do put my return address on the package. I don't out myself in the package though since this is "secret".

I checked with my proxy in New York...I've got a package and some postcards waiting for me! 18 days and counting...

I have been a very very BADDDD boy this year.
Is that why I haven't got my presents yet ?? Please, Santa, I promise to give up meat/fish for the next 2 weekends...

I hope the person got my gift will like what I got him. It's very touching.

kevinsac · Dec 5, 08, 12:43 pm

Well, laundrian, if you have been very, very BADDDD this year, you might get something very, very GOODDDD.

I also put a lot of time searching for the perfect gift. I sirprised myself when I found the gift. I hope he/she likes it......recipient has a name which could be either.

Understand, we are STILL almost 3 weeks away from Christmas.... some people are more efficient and faster than other... and others want to torture...

Patience is a virtue....

Mail also takes longer from some places. When I sent mine I was told 2-3 weeks to deliver - yes this will still be before Christmas day, and yes it is air/courier delivery.

I discover that my obligations extend until after the 25th (I thought I
could shop on the 16th-18th) so I let amazon.com do the work for me.
Not hugely imaginative (I just ordered stuff the people asked for, more
or less), but at least it got done.

Purpleeagl · Dec 5, 08, 2:45 pm

I received a box from Santa in South Bend, IN today from Barnes & Noble. I will wait to open until Xmas. (But I may not be able to wait)

Thank you

... did you recipient not respond to that question?

Thanks.

I try.

An awful lot of hints and tips are going out this year (and early too) to connect the dots between giver and receiver. I like anonymous and just knowing the recipient will enjoy what they receive. Then again, there are those companies that insist on including the purchaser's name in the box.

LOL, or some hints can also be to confuse recipients.

You are welcome to reveal your identity if you want. It's all up to your personal preference.
