(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[gemstone]

I've been very careful about not posting *anything* about my SS and her likes/dislikes!  I want it to be the total surprise!  I also like the possibility of remaining on EVERYONE's list

I'm going to attempt to mail my SS present at lunch today, provided the line at the post office isn't out the door. NYC is very efficient in many ways, but staffing the post office is not one of them! 

I had SO much fun putting this together /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This. I'm an introvert offline and online.

Lol right?! People exist in this Secret Santa thing that aren't on this thread?

Idk, I feel like 95% of the fun of the whole Secret Santa process has been all the participation in this thread. Otherwise, it's just like signing up, shopping for a gift and then waiting for yours to come in the mail. Sounds boring! Lol
Completely agree! I can't imagine this experience without participating in the thread.  It's been so fun getting to know all of you!

I don't remember last year being like this *at all* in terms of just having goofy fun with the rest of the participants! I feel really lucky to have been able to be part of all of the fun this year. *grouphug*

I'm not sure I can wait another whole year to do this again...

Agreed! I really enjoyed this thread and the whole SS thing. I think it's made me post more and not lurk so much! hah.

I never want this to end /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> If I went to summer camp, I'd imagine this is what leaving would feel like.

So true! I've been in Mexico all week for work, with really long days, and coming back to MUT has been my sanity. It also makes me that much more appreciative of what we are privileged to have (makeup goodness!) and what we can do for each other, especially the SS. I've been seeing lots of shantys and bare concrete houses, and folks working really hard to just get by. On a happier note, I'm hunting down one last stocking stuffer for my girl, and trying really hard not to buy myself another palette in the process /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. Although with naked3 releasing at sephora tomorrow my no buy is screwed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I keep telling myself I don't need Nude'tude!  

 

[pooteeweet213]

All of these beautiful packages going out, and I keep seeing more and more I want to buy. Haha!!! I just saw the Stila In The Garden Palette marked down to $20 on sephora!! Can't... buy... for...myself... yet!!!! Of course sephora sent me that darn $20 off a $50 purchase today... 

Totally bought that on Friday! It's soooo beautiful! Re: homemade gifts, I totally had had every intention of making something for my SS because I LOVE TO CRAFT! But unfortunately I ran out of time and had to send it. Also I definitely tried making her chocolate covered potato chips but it was a total failure... Instead I used mint Lindt truffles as packing material to make up for it. Totally acceptable packing material, right?

Best packing material ever! Btw, for those of you near Chicago, the new outlet mall in Rosemont has a Lindt outlet. Just dropping that and moving along..... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Haha, girl I've been reverse stalking since we got assigned! I'm sort of convinced that my ss is either a)being active as a "ghost" as I like to think of it ...or... B) I don't have a ss :,(
I can not, for the life of me, figure out who has me, and IT KILLS ME ON THE INSIDE. lol
I think my SS is someone who doesn't post much. Or is very sneaky. Or I'm just too busy trying to make my own Santee happy that I keep forgetting I have a SS too. Ha! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />


Haha this is me exactly!  I keep forgetting that I'm going to be getting a gift too!  I haven't tried to hard to figure mine out, though... I love surprises!

I know, me too. However, my husband had a sick relative who just passed yesterday. I've kind of been looking to Louie's needs.

If my Santee or anyone else on here wants our snow, they can have it! Take it all! I hate it. But yeahhhh, tricky to send. Darn. Lol

I'm from Buffalo. We have enough of our own, thank you kindly!

I haven't even been thinking about who could have me as their SS either. I totally forgot about that part of the equation. SOOO now, I am going to start stalking, and by stalking I mean not doing anything because I doubt that I will figure it out even if I tried. HAHAHAHAA

Whoever you are that has me as your SS, thank you for everything, I appreciate your hard work and I am hoping you are someone who I have had the pleasure of interacting with on here because I would love to send you a return gift.

It is so nice to have gotten to know you ladies and I will be forever grateful for the bond that we have all created.

Dear SS,

I am very excited for my package to arrive, but I am also being patient. I know you put a lot of thought and effort into it and cannot wait to tell you how much I love it! That said, if you can, please send a tracking elf when you do mail it so that I will know when it will arrive. We have had issues with package theft in our building in the past. My husband is home all day long and can peek every few hours if we know when it is due to arrive. That said, I will go back to waiting patiently! I love you already!! Jamie

I'm the same way. I really enjoy reading everyone's posts. I'm always more of a lurker and it's a hard habit to break. Everyone on this thread is amazing, I can't wait to see who my SS is.
