No icon for a thinking cap, but my mind is working overtime. Already have it narrowed down to several things; just need to decide which is the bestest for my giftee!

I am happy to report that I have received my assignments. Will start the thinking process sometime during next weekend. I'll ship everything out before Turkey day.
I love my FedEx account

Thanks for putting this together Santa Wharvey.
When you put this together I decided to do the same for my Cat sitting business, but not making it a "secret" Santa. I'm playing "the Kitty Santa" for my clients for the fourth year and this year I'm asking them for what their babies want.
*One asked for my United miles.
*One asked for a BMW.
I thought Cats only drive Jaguars!

Santa appreciates hearing that everyone is in the holiday spirit....
If anyone decides they want additional assignments... let me know.
I will do my last assignments after I return from New Zealand... but happy to continue spreading the holiday joy!

I have started acquiring the gifts for my recipients. The gifts will be wrapped and ready to send out in about 4 weeks or so. They should arrive by Christmas. I still have a bunch of cyber-stalking to do to aid in making appropriate selections.

What fun..
This is my 1st year and I've enjoyed learning about my charge (a FTer that had not been familiar to me)
Now comes the hard part where I just need to narrow down the list of possible gifts and hope that I hit on something they would like to receive.
The pressuh!

I'm debating about this. Problem is if I do the secret santa and ship it out from Poland, I would really hate for my giftee to pay duty on the gift 
then again if I am in the USA, I can ship it but it won't make it in time for xmas 
Anyone ship overseas postal mail and didn't have to pay duty? Cause so far I got hit every single time even if I put down it is a gift.
