I will not be doing any additional assignments until December 4th after returning from our anniversary trip to Hawaii.
If anyone who is already participating wants additional assignees, please send me a PM to let me know.

You never know -- I've been pleasantly surprised with the overall speed of overseas mail (even "surface"), although admittedly, I haven't ever sent/received any huge packages.
I'd definitely understand if a Secret Santa gift coming from another country arrived a bit late, even without explanation -- although I believe you can PM wharvey with information to pass along to your recipient if you feel you need to.
Who are these people? (An important rule of gift-giving I learned from my mother: if it's an item with an attached price tag, the first thing you should do is take a pen and black out the price. 
)

I have one item for one of my recipients, and the rest of the items will be picked up around Black Friday, or shortly thereafter.

I haven't bought yet, just because I enjoy so much shopping and finding just the right thing, I don't want it to end yet!
But, I am on it and besides my best efforts to prolong the joy, have found half of the gift already.
Thanks again, wharvey!

Assam Secret Santa 2011
hi,
i would like to participate in secret santa 2011, but i live in singapore ... since mailing a gift to the states would probably cost more than the gift itself, i'm wondering whether you have a secret santa 2011 for southeast asia.
thanks!
sandy

I had someone from Asia who signed up early and got their assignment.
You can sign up but say that you will only participate if I can assign you someone from Asia.

Me first! Me first!
Boy am I ever glad I updated my Amazon Wish List early this year
One of my Secret Santas has already come through with a few of my favorite things!
In addition to a book I've been wanting (The Help), which arrived perfectly timed for my flight tomorrow ... I got some kitchen gadgets (I lurve kitchen gadgets) that I've been eyeing (a microplane grater, and a pastry brush) which will get plenty of use for my Thanksgiving and Christmas cooking duties.
THANK YOU SANTA!

I am just waiting on a couple more things for mine to arrive and then I am thinking of a way to have fun by maybe posting them one by one..or maybe just empty boxes for a few weeks
