Dear SS: So your gifts are numbered in a certain way. But now I have new random things to put in your box which will mess with the numbers. What am I to do?? Figuring this out this early in the morning is clearly more important than writing a paper. XOXO JESS Ps. This paper will never get written. I am screwed.

you could do half numbers. or have some that say open on christmas. my gifts are numbered but I have one that says please wait to open on christmas. :)
 
Well, I'm almost done shopping for my SS's' Two Sephora shipments this week and then I can mail out on Friday! I had found a really cute coach wristlet for her and had it in a bag in my trunk. Went to get two new tires on my way home and the guy had to get in my trunk to get my wheel lock key. I also had a 50/50 thing of antifreeze in my trunk in a spot where it wouldn't tip as the cap leaks. Wouldn't you know he moves everything around and now the wristlet is drenched in antifreeze. Grrr. Thankfully I have another wristlet that I think she will like that I haven't used.

Put the random things together and call it a "stocking". haha. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
If I get a 12 days of Christmas, I will definitely open one each day!  I love that kind of anticipation.  I would even wait and open it the day of Christmas, except I will be out of town :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My mom always tries to get my dad and I to open at least one present on Christmas eve (we have always done it the day of- never before) and even when I was little, I refused!  We are both very against it.  Even when they mail me something on my birthday, I will wait until the day of to open it.  I love surprises, and I love waiting! haha

Yes!  This gets my vote!  I haven't received a stocking since my mom passed away, so that would probably make me cry out of happiness if I saw something like that in my box.

 
Got all my stuff wrapped!

Thanks for the heads up! I might be going out today to where it's not so rural, lol. Santee- I got the first of many big boxes for you this morning! Yayyayyyy! I can finally wrap something (of course, a big thing in this box is so awkwardly shaped- you're gonna laugh at the result, if history is any indicator as to how well it's goin to look lol)
 
Done wrapping but of course the Post Office is already closed... wasn't watching the clock!

So, lovely giftee, your package will go out first thing on Monday. I think I might be more excited than you are!!

 
Man you ladies are Gooood!  I need to go buy paper - the past couple years, all of our packaging suppliers for work sent gift boxes of paper + bows and stickers, and this year, nada yet. I'm spoiled - they sent great stuff, I always thought it was a fabulous corporate gift to send (especially if you're a company that makes paper).  The other suppliers sent bags of..baggies. Yep, lots and lots of plastic baggies. I will never buy baggies again. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

I'm traveling for work this week, so I won't be able to check mail or the kiln until Thursday. I have the last of my santee's gifts ready to go minus the one hand crafted item. I want to get it out and get her reaction. Soo  impatient!

 
I am WAY overthinking the secrecy of secret santa. I was going to have an elf send the tracking number to my lady..but then I was thinking she'll be able to see which city it departed from and know it was me! So instead I think I'll give the elf the number and just have them send the projected due date. And then location updates when it gets closer to her. Is that crazy? :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I feel you. According to tracking my box was delivered yesterday. But I haven't seen or heard from my person yet. So I was thinking I would get someone to pm them to see if they got it. Then I talk myself out of it to give them time to open and deal with it.

I rushed home right after my shift (I'm still wearing my work clothes) and got on my computer to get the UD Lipsticks and when I hit submit order it refreshed and didn't do anything. So when I tried to buy it again it was like SOLD OUT SORRY!!!

I have no luck lol...
Me too, it was the one thing I was looking forward to getting. I ended up not buying anything black Friday the hubby was wondering if there was something wrong with me.

  Dear SS,

I was sort of sassy this morning. Apologies! I could not resist the UD lipstick set and the Zoya deal. And I bought a bottle of Pink Sugar at Sephora since you ladies love it so much. And ok, ok, I bought a few $10 deals from Sephora as well.

I HAVE NO WILL POWER!

Also, giftee, I bought you some stuff too! I think you're all done now. Just gotta wrap & mail!
Congrats on getting it!

 I bleed glitter!

 
After all these awesome deals that came out after assignments, I'm going to have to be better at strategizing better next year for SS. My girl got A LOT of stuff and I stretched my dollar as best I could without going crazy over -- but with the $20 off $50 at sephora + different GWP + Black Friday deals + groupon certificates to beauty sage... I really regret not waiting! I love what I'm giving my Santee and I hope she will too BUT I could've given her SO MUCH MORE if I waited just 2 weeks!
