I just wanted to say hope you all have fun! I loved doing the secret santa thing, and wish I could have done this one to, but since it was overseas as well, I was worried I couldn't afford the gift + shipping if I had gotten someone from another country, so I had to sit this one out.:(

Anyway..Enjoy, and I'll be looking foward to the April fools day exchange!

Depends on the liquid and depends on the country. PM me what you're sending and I can tell you.

Do we reveal ourselves via note/card with the present or do we just send the present and reveal ourselves in the reveal thread??

^I think it's nice to reveal in a note/card. The reveal thread is more to reveal to the rest of the site.

I went shopping for my SC today... it was fun! Now I hope that my person likes it!

Tee hee! This is really exciting for me! (I'm kinda lame, I know!)

If anyone is having any problems (like their recipient hasn't posted an address/name/whatever) just let me know and I'll ask for you.

Yes. However, please adjust accordingly if you are shipping internationally.

We are supposed to make sure it gets there by V day right? Are you guys already sending stuff? ^^^ im confused.

austinatalie
01-23-2008, 04:19 PM
yeah im waiting till at least february to send my gifts.

BUT
remember our lesson from Secret Santa! Elfster automatically removes everyones address from view (except your own view) on the exchange date, so write that shit down or something!

I'm shipping mine out (due to being international) before the end of this week.

ETA: I shipped it today. Bleh. The 'present' itself was well under the allocated amount... it's the weight thus the shipping plus insurance (as I want to make damn sure my valentine gets its present) that blew my costs out.. argh. I don't care... it was real fun shopping for it!! ;D

I love being reminded at how wonderful op shops and second hand places are... they never fail to amaze me at what treasures can be found within them... and the best thing is that usually the shop is run by a charity thus I'm supporting my community by shopping there ;D

mermaidnz, Southport is a great place to shop and only a bus ride away.

I have to find out about sending liquids here. I know they always ask if youre mailing any liquids, but I want to say you just have to fill out a form or something.

To my SS: I moved and updated my address info in my profile so it is now current :)

Everyone's asking about mailing liquids and perishibles (sp.?), hopefully no one's sending anthrax, but there's it's all in the link .. so click for info on 'mailability' straight from the USPS website.
If you're sending via FedEx or some other service, check out their website FAQs for the information you seek.

oy I'm moving on the 1st so to my SC:

If you can, wait to send my present till at least after the 1st! I haven't updated the addy yet because i'm not there yet.

If you've already sent it though, don't panic. My lease here technically isn't up until the 14th so I can still get my mail here until then. But I'd prefer not to.

Just sent all mine out, too. FedEx. No way I'd trust the USPO with something this important.

I have a funny story to tell about the HOUR I spent at FedEx, but we'll wait until the reveals for that. :)

Hahaha that reminds me. I purposefully put one pair of super expensive shoes in my list in case TOO got me. I'm a greedy bitch. Hahahaha. I just thought it would be funny though. <3

I added a new car and a pony! You know, just in case.

I put in Tarina Tarantino jewelry for the same reason! LOL we're such golddiggers. No no no....we're just prepared.

Heehee are you being serious or sarcastic? :P Either way, I'm getting my shoes for V-day if they're bought for me or I have to buy them myself. They're HOT shoes. :D :D

Have you been checking EVERYONE'S wishlists? Naughty TOO!

mermaidnz

omg Lysondra, i checked out those shoes on eluxury-they are on special! and freaking HOT! omfg. they are stunning!

Of course I was being serious. I can feel your charm half a world away. :)

If anybody objects to my checking out her wish list, please speak up and I'll stop for sure!

Edited to add:

I forgot to say that those shoes are insanely hot. Almost as fine as the heels from Neiman Marcus I picked out in the steak thread -- remember the ones you couldn't live without? :)

Lysondra
01-31-2008, 06:28 PM
*heartthrob* Yes! Oh my god, and they're in my size! I think I've totally turned into a shoe freak. But damn, those are some HOT shoes. I keep opening the picture of them going..mmm...shoes.

And TOO thinks I'm charming?! Wow! I've always thought I was kinda annoying and shallow. Heehee. I'm blushing... great....

Two pairs of shoes I want now. Only the cost of half my car... wooo.... I don't need a savings! Heehee.

RoseLeigh should totally get a pony. Because giving a girl a pony is cute. And I'd like to see TOO FedEx a pony. I would like it on video. P:

Lysondra
01-31-2008, 06:29 PM
AGGHHH nooo they've been sold. And they were my size too!

Phooey. I can still save the pictures and stare. :drool:

I updated my address on elfster! So now, SC, you can send my pressy to my new house! Unless you already sent it to my old one (that ends in 7), and that's fine too. But could you please do me a favor and tell me anonymously on elfster which you sent it too so I can keep a lookout?

Lysondra

Dear Valentine -

I tried SO hard to get stuff to you on time but I had such a busy few weeks and then I was broke for a bit because of my move and...

well, it now means I'm sending you your stuff directly from the internet instead of from here. I am SO sorry...


...but I made it up to you by buying a few things!

austinatalie
02-07-2008, 02:43 AM
Well Elfster removed all the addys at 12am today just like I warned! If you need help getting your SC's address PM me and I will ask them for you.

stellaforstars

Shipped my SC's gift off just an hour ago or so!

In related news, oh em gee, FedEx's rates have gone up! Jesus Christ!!

If anyone has any issues or won't be shipping in the next few days, give me a heads up.

I'd rather warn your valentine than letting them hang and wonder like that exchange.

No kidding!!! I bought a saddle a couple of months ago, shipping was $40. Just sold it, shipping was almost $100! Nuts!

Lysondra

...that would totally be why I use UPS.

hardkandee
02-07-2008, 08:29 PM
I switched the exchange date.

Can everyone see addresses again?!

Susan-Va
02-07-2008, 08:35 PM
Yup, the addresses are back up. I know what I'm doing in the AM!

hardkandee

Mwahahahahhaha...

I outsmarted the system.

02-07-2008, 10:56 PM
Oh damn! I just remembered the mailman won't leave me my mail unless it's under my real name, and I don't think the office will accept FedEx or UPS packages for "Yekhefah" either. Hardkandee, I'm gonna PM you my name if you'll pass it on to my person! I hope s/he hasn't shipped to me yet!
