Santa feels like he is a broken record. YOU have to send me a detailed private message on WHAT you ship and WHAT you receive. Posting in this thread is not sufficient; as I do not have time to verify each message with my file... I do that via PMs I receive. In addition, just telling me you "shipped your gift" is not helpful if your giftee is getting gifts from more than one person. You will not get credit for fulfilling your responsibilities if I cannot match gifts up with the right person.
I am truly concerned over the number of messages being ignored from me and number of blank spots in my spreadsheet. Santa is not pleased.

There are some times when a package gets delayed for reasons out of a carrier's control

Hey all - so far received three of four gifts and loving them all!
First received - an awesome cook book and wine pairing recommendations. I've already made two recipes from it!
Second received - two Gemini Jet models to go with my collection. They already have a nice perch on my desk at work!
Third received - A fun box full of several awesome things including a cook book, a fun book to read on the plane, a few plane models from Japan, a bottle cap collector, and amazingly nice pewter wine corker and topper!
An awesome year of Secret Santa!! Thanks to everyone!!!

Thank you to MissyDarlin and Charles Squires! My daughter mixed up the tags so not sure who gave what but we loved the:
- Duplo legos: my daughter actually is home sick from daycare today so they are getting use!
- Bath bombs - I've already soaked twice. Mmm, wonderful
- Bath salts - love the scents
- Essential oils - totally taking your idea Missy and mixing to make a sugar scrub!
- Mandala coasters - already in use since my old coasters were falling apart
- Blank note cards - perfect for holiday thank you gifts
- Dalek earrings - I've already worn them and my daughter said "Daleks Mommy!" I'm raising a Dr Who fan
- I can't believe I forgot to list the cool socks - art socks. I'm wearing the George Washington ones today and feeling powerful
Thanks!!!!

Yes, I knew I forgot something to list! She grabbed the Amelia Bedelia books and took them to her room - we've read one so far (a few chapters a night) and starting a new one tonight.

Update: gift received (maybe?)
FedEx just dropped off a package. As I didn't recognize the return address I had the kid open it. He described the contents as "something unwrapped that you'll like" so I'm guessing it to be my second Secret Santa gift.
Will report back after Christmas.

So I may have forgotten to actually include something for my Secret Santa that tells them who it is from.. if someone gets a brown box from "Paul" in Victoria, BC, it's probably from me! I saw it was delivered today (and it required a signature). Once the person posts in here I'll let them know if they haven't figured it out yet!
