[quote=""Ash""]So what did you get? (and um, how'd you guys keep it a secret? Since I had to put my return addy on it, its going to be rather obvious....)

I plan on opening it when I get it. Heck, Chanukah is the 19th, so its not like I am that early :) [/quote]

I just took care of my secret santa person, so that's one thing I don't have to worry about now!

I put my name on. I pretty much thought I had to for customs reasons.

I put my name on mine...the recipient would have guessed it anyhow! I mean, on the customs form: Full Name: Pat ....! Likewise in the card!

I havent opened mine yet, just taken it out of the box, hubby wouldnt let me go any further! BTW, he loved the bubble wrap!
A good book and a good coffee, what more can anyone want? xx

I wasnt gonna open mine but I thought "What book did I buy? Did I accidently click on something...I dont remember buying a book." And then I freaked out cause I have next to nothing in my bank account and couldn't believe I would have been that dumb as to buy something.

But it wasnt me . :D

[quote=""Misfit""]Is it against the rules to put a card in and say who it's from?[/quote]

I hope not, cause I did! (My name was on the customs form anyway...)

I received a parcel in the mail with two lovely wrapped items in it, along with a card. I'm going to try to be good and not open them until Hanukah, :D and to whomever sent it, thank you! It's always fun getting a surprise in the mail.

((In the spirit of the thing, I'm not saying who sent it, yes, I was able to guess who it was from, and thank you, thank you, especially considering where you were shipping from. That's really something))

Mine went out in the mail yesterday Media Mail. If anyone receives a box with a return address from an unknown company in Seattle don't return it as unsolicited junk :) :o :p
