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

Oh! @@puppymomofthree just reminded me of something I wanted to bring up: Please put your forumname on the outside of the package! This is so people can at least say that they received their package from a particular person once the reveal thread is open even if they're waiting to open it until later for whatever reason.

Yay! I think I finally found something to buy my FGC! I just hate paying for shipping! Especially since it costs about the same price as the product! Hopefully I can find it in stores here though.

Like a few others have mentioned, I'm almost finished making my purchases. But there's still so much time left!!! This is a really dangerous game for my bank account

I don't know how many of you shop at Baublebar, but if you click on http://www.baublebar.com/the-color-claw-game?utm_source=BaubleBar&utm_medium=email&utm_content=game&utm_campaign=052214_Florals_circ_1 and then play the game (and I would do it with each e-mail account you have), you are sure to get a prize.  One of the most common prizes is $10 off any purchase.  There are some super cute $14 ring holders (http://www.baublebar.com/featured-shops/boutiques/storage-solutions.html), and it is always free shipping and they do ebates, thus this could be an easy way to get a cute extra for your FGC or yourself!  :wub:

Hello again, lovelies!

There are still a few of you who have not completed the required questions on the survey. PLEASE check your messages. It might be you!
These are really important, especially the allergy question. If you have any questions/need help/can't find the survey, please message me, @@meaganola, or @ ASAP. 

Thank you!

I am suddenly very, very scared that the lip sticks, etc. will melt in transit... I also bought this PERRFECT tin box but... The summer heat issue scares me :/ Anyone have any suggestions that are cost efficient but will also help avoid melted gifts? (Not sending candy for this reason)

Small ice packs and an organized large ziplock bag with anything you fear may melt?

Here's an interesting discussion about shipping chocolate in the summer ...

Obviously a lot more at stake if it's your business, but maybe there's something we can take away from it?

I bought some more goodies for my FGC today.  I only need to buy one more thing for her and it's a small item that I can pick up in store.  I have everything else purchased but am just waiting to receive it all in the mail.  I'm excited!

I had originally planned to send some really yummy treats from a local bakery that's gluten, soy, and dairy free and oh so delicious.  However, I don't think it would withstand the heat since there is chocolate.  I didn't even think about make up melting though!  I might try to ship when the weather seems kind of temperate and not really hot.

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

To my sweet Godmother, the weather in Saratoga Springs should be relatively nice by shipping time, things won't melt and you can send me all the goodies!

Just noticed your new profile pic! beautiful!!! 

on another note, I feel like the only one who hasn't bought their FGC anything yet! I've shopped my stash already but trying to carefully plan what to buy!

I haven't either! I've been plotting and planning, but I want this to be perfect and haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I'm not too worried about makeup melting. I live in Arizona where it's usually over 110 degrees in the summer and I order lipsticks, crayon eyeliners and other meltable makeup all the time. Usually I have to wait a few hours before I use/swatch those items but they are almost always ok. The only downside is that there is almost always condensation.

Chocolate on the other side, would probably arrive in liquid form.
