So, the person I'm elfing for has another question for me to pose to y'all. She obviously can't ask because her SS will put the pieces together and figure out who she is --
She's filed a claim with the USPS to have them attempt to locate her SS package that she shipped 2 day priority on Dec 7. She was contacted yesterday by a postal worker who was trying to gather more information. She told me that the postal worker seemed less than optimistic that the package would be found. There have been no scans since the package was delivered to the original PO. The package was insured for $50, so in the event the package can't be located, she should be getting some of her money back. Her SS is out of town until the 20th, so she will have to wait until then to know if the package has been delievered and just hasn't had updated tracking. If she waits until the 20th, only to find the package was never delivered, there's no way she can get a gift to her SS before Christmas. However, if she goes out to "repurchase" some of the gifts now, in the event the package WAS delivered, her SS will receive duplicate packages. She's asking if anyone out there in makeup land has had a similar experience and/or what y'all would recommend. She's pretty bummed out -- feeling like she's failed at SS and all her hard work will never been seen and her makeup goodies will never get loved!
Help her!
Dear Mystery Santa,
Please please please do not feel like a failure! This is totally not your fault and I think your giftee will be more than understanding. If you were my Santa, I'd be totally cool with you waiting until the 20th to see if maybe I got it already instead of repurchasing everything! And if it's a little late, it's late! Who doesn't love getting more presents after Christmas? It drags out the merriment!

Crossing my fingers that the package turns up! And if not, SO GLAD you have insurance on that baby to cover some/most of the replacement.
