I have already started putting my Christmas care package together

i'm mailing mine out this afternoon.

im working on part of my gift right now!!!!

Has anyone sent a gift overseas (from the US) with success? I'm nervous! The one I had last year vanished! She was a ghost orger after we got our names. Wonder if s he/she just made up a name to get a gift and then dipped. perhaps a banned orger!

But really. I'm nervous!

I had JustErin last year so I shipped to Canada. No issues.

I ship paintings to Europe/UK fairly often. No issues there either.

Just as Europe should totally accept our far superior way of spelling words and doing phone numbers (not to mention measuring things--that metric system is just silly), they really should follow our lead on writing out addresses. Then they'd get their mail!

I always use registered mail so I can track the item and know when it was received and/or signed for.

Question, Ren...

If you coordinate everyone's Secret Santa...does anyone get YOU to send a gift to???

I, too, am fortunate to be a recipient... well minus the secret part...

I am also a giver so I feel all is right with the world...

I'm really quite honored to be allowed to do this a 2nd time...

Perhaps I'm just being overly cautious. My ss was Canadian as well. I wonder if maybe my package didn't make it through customs. I had to write everything down on the address form of the contents. Maybe it didnt make it. Either way, she just vanished. Ren couldn't find her, I couldn't find her. I wonder if she was lurking or a banned orger, or maybe something happened to her. I guess the fun part for me is seeing if the person I bought stuff for likes it! But this year I know who my ss is, so I know their ass will surface when approached!

OK, I was worried there for a sec that you just paired everyone up but got no gifts.

Part of mine was ordered online today and will be shipped directly to my gift-ee.

I went out and got the rest this afternoon. Wrapping it all now.

i mailed mine out, hope my person enjoys the gifts.

When I sell stuff on Ebay I always offer to send overseas. I have shipped everywhere,and never had any issues.

Going shopping for my Secret Santa on Saturday!

I get my check on Friday and it's the first thing on my list. Got to find something cute but very very lightweight. I wish I could find more stuff out about this person. I am unfortunately one of those people who always wants to get people the perfect present. I will try and spy from now until then. Maybe check the recent posts on the org going to do that now!!!!

OK, got the gift! Mailing it out this week!

My gifts have been shipped.

Who is going to wait until xmas to open their gift???

This is a good question. Last year I did not.

I have so much on my plate right now I might want to spread it out so I might open mine before.

Unless everyone else wants to wait, then I'll be a team player.
