Please remember to PM wharvey both when you ship your gifts (with contents and tracking for each recipient) and when you receive your gifts (with contents and a name for your santa if possible)!

Posting photos:
Alternatively: Upload your image to somewhere on the internet (a list can be found in the wiki here, and I also can recommend imgur). Once the image is uploaded, right click on the image (control-click or click with two fingers for those of you with macs), click on "copy image URL". Then in your post in this thread, paste the image URL that you previously copied between two image tags, so the result looks like:
[img]your URL here[/img]

There is no "gifts sent" part this time around-PM your sent gifts to wharvey! (though feel free to post it in the thread)

Gifts Received
Please please please PM wharvey when you have received/opened your gifts!
Include pictures if you can-and please only link to posts once you have unwrapped your gifts!

Santa Note: I have finalized all assignments for anyone who properly submitted their information.

There will be NO more assignments until after the November 20th deadline passes.

What is the policy on multiple gifts adding up to the $50 value? Got a few good ideas in mind, and would definitely exceed $50, but each individual item would not. Thanks! I'm excited.

No issue whatsoever. Many people do multiple gifts.

I received my 2 assignments today also. One should be interesting, the other has left it very open so hopefully things go well!

Where can I go to find out shipping times to locations outside of the USA? I want to make sure I have enough time to get these packages to their destination country.

I usually do that, and most of the gifts I've received have been that way.

If you go the homepage of various carriers, DHL, USPS, FedEx, etc. they should have estimates of shipping times and costs. If you don't want to pay an arm and a leg, estimate a week to a week and half to most international destinations.

Received my assignments earlier this week.

I am sending out gifts right away, as i would be going on vacation from Nov 24th to Dec 20th. Hopefully my recipients would not mind.

Did some shopping for SS #1, package #1 should be delivered early next week and Package #2 later next week.

still shopping for SS #2.

It was fun doing!

I do that all the time and have received many such gifts. It's all fun and great!

I have one assignment done and shipped already. I chose to ship it early because of the lengthy shipping time. Now for assignment #2.
