Mailing my out this weekend....
I sent mine out right after Thanksgiving - with a stern notice to not open it until Christmas! (Of course, I don't think I could exercise that much self-control, so I don't blame my person if they opened early ;-)

Mine went out today.....
And hopefully they will get it by Saturday. I really hope this person likes all the goodies in that box!
Ooooooooh....I even had to call Santa Veggie today and ask if we were suppose to "reveal" who we were...he didn't answer the phone.
Well it won't be too hard to figure out who sent it. LOL

As for the reveal,
I do it in the package, on the card.
Sending mine out Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Had to wait for the jar from church.
At my other board, it varies. This year, my Secret Santa put my screen name as my middle name. By doing that, I knew this was my Secret Santa from the other board, but I didn't know who she was until I opened it.
Got some good stuff, too.
A Santa sculpture with an internal music box, and three Pampered Chef items... the Garlic Press, the Measure-All (been wanting one,) and the Avocado Peeler (wtf?)
I was very happy with this package!

I kinda stand out....
Being one of the few females on this board...
So when they see the card signed by Mrs. Clause from Texas...
and not from the Belle from Bellville, they will know it's not from Venus. LOL
My greatest challenge was shopping for someone who I have never talked to, emailed, met...etc...and without giving anything away...their profile made it even more difficult for me.
It was something in the last part of their profile, that got me to doing my homework on what this person would like, and their interests.
I like what I got them...so hopefully they will too. It's one heavy ass box.

This sounds like fun.. I am curious to see what yall get..
Togs, stand up here and take it like a man
LOL LOL
*slaps Togs for the helluvit*
I've overspent on my credit line at the PPB this year, so I had to shop at more G rated stores....boring...YES...and disappointing.
But my reputation for sending out such vulgar gifts was saved, and I sleep better at nights.
Steve, I am sending you a 2007 Bible verse of the day Calendar. Read it....and repent on a daily basis. ;-)

If I revealed what I did with my Secret Santa package, then the recipient would know who it was from!
Maytagmom:
That's the test I use when I buy a gift for someone, Is this something I would like to have? If the answer is yes, chances are your person will be thrilled too. If the answer was no, chances are it'll be in the next garage sale!

Mine went out today
And the line at the Post Office was not pretty.
As for The Reveal (as they say on Trading Places), it's really up to each person. You may reveal or not as you see fit, but it usually doesn't take much brainwork to figger it out.
To be honest, I think The Blab is the most fun part of the whole process!

I can't wait to see the NEXT Secret Santa thread, what did everybody receive from their Secret Santa!
Since this is the first time I am playing in the Secret Santa event, I would like to know if you are "matched" both ways with someone, meaning is the person who you are sending your gift to sending a gift to you, or somebody else?
Since we are spending Christmas away from home if our gift doesn't arrive before the 21st, we won't see it until after the first of the year!

It's all random
As far as I can remember (which isn't very far...) no two people are Secret Santa for each other. If that makes sense.
Since it was a random drawing, I suppose it *could* happen, but I don't think it did.
See? This is why I find The Blab so much fun!
