A Midsummer Night's Dream (Summer 2014 Secret Santa) Discussion

[tacehtpuekam]

I'm so sorry if sending the assignments out early caused any panic or trouble! We're leaving town on Friday for a weeklong visit to family and I'm in the middle of packing woes. So yesterday when I had a few free hours, and a desire to procrastinate on packing, I decided to get the assignments out so if I had anything crazy happen Thurs, I wouldn't have to worry about letting you guys down!

(And right now, I'm just hoping my hubby realizes I am NOT packing for him! I have myself, two little boys, and a dog to pack for! I have to admit, packing for little boys is pretty easy, just clothing and bath stuff. No accessories, hair stuff, jewelry, etc. MY packing list is twice the length of theirs together!)

Ah, don't apologize! I think we were all OVERJOYED to get them early!  :lol:

I only posted the reminder about the surveys & such because I have received a few messages from people about not being able to find them for their godchildren. But I think as long as people have them up some time this weekend, we'll be just fine. Six weeks is a loooong time to have to shop!

Another question. Does anyone know if it's possible to send your Birchbox favorites list to someone? Or if you can link it somehow? I was thinking that would be GREAT to add to my wish list since a lot of people are trying to use up points (I know I am!)

There isn't. I actually emailed them asking about that for this exact reason over the weekend, and the CS rep acted like it was a brand new idea for them that she would pass on to the development team.

Just wrote my wishlist! And realized I can't edit my survey answers so I will be updating that and including it on my wishlist page.

I had such a busy day yesterday that I didn't have time to go through my stash and compare it to my girls wishlist. Hopefully I have time tonight (is it bad that I'm hoping my fiancé comes home after me so I have time for this? Haha!)

Shopping, shopping, shopping. . . how about that 15% Ebates cash back from Sephora orders?  Sure, I'll use that.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Giving us 2 full months to shop is a blessing & curse all at the same time.  I want it all NOW!!!!  But it also allows me to spend a little now & a little later too.  I've got SO many ideas for a "themed" box for my Godchild.  She likes so many fun things that it's going to be hard to narrow things down.  Getting SUPER excited already.

Oh. . . & is it bad that I totally forgot there are other threads on this forum?  Oh wait, what?  You mean THIS isn't the only thread here on MakeUp Talk?  I'm sitting here staring at this thread just watching, reading, laughing, thinking, planning, smiling, reading some more.  I just love you ladies.  I never want to leave.   :wub:

@@trekkersangel  there are other threads on this forum?!  I've been refreshing and reading this one way too much to venture out to the others.  

So I have a job interview for a job I really really want this afternoon.  I've been researching and preparing for that this morning... and any breaks I've taken have been to read this thread lol.  If you have an extra prayer or good thought, I'd appreciate you sending it my way.  I'm nervous.

Good luck!  We were just working on hiring a new person for our office and the person I wanted just accepted!  Just be calm and be yourself and I know you will do brilliantly!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@utgal2004 -- Good luck with the interview!

I've been doing my stalking, and may have made a couple of purchases yesterday based on it, although my FG is one of those who hasn't had a chance to post a wishlist.  That's OK, though, because I decided I'm going to wait until after I get my June Birchboxes (when I'll have another $20 in points available to spend -- $10 more on each account!) and my 2 Glossyboxes with the $25 Bergdorff's GCs to do the majority of my shopping for her.

BTW -- is anyone else having issues posting replies with quotes?  I haven't been able to get one to go up since yesterday afternoon.  A straight post without any quoted text seems OK, though.  Weird. (ETA: Seems OK now)

 I'm so excited about this! My brain is bubbling up ideas for my giftee! I'm glad we have a long shopping period, rushing around makes me a nervous wreck.

If anyone else is a Birchbox Ace, this might be the perfect opportunity to use this perk:

• CONCIERGE SERVICESearching for the perfect products or the ultimate gift? Schedule a one-on-one consultation to find just what you need. Plus, receive priority service whenever you contact our Discovery Specialists.
  

I'm not really sure how to schedule or how helpful it will actually be, but I figure it's worth a shot! I just e-mailed. Who knows, maybe they'll have some amazing ideas for my fairy godchild that I haven't thought of yet! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Wow, ladies! Good job on your interviews and best of luck to you. I haven't been in the workforce for over 4 years now, but I know how nerve wracking the process of securing a job can be!

And with all of your fancy new jobs! YOU CAN BUY EVEN MORE GIFTS!!!  :mussical:
