speeddiva Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I didn't participate this year due to finances, but I think Gift cards are a cop out and shouldn't be the only gift. Half the fun IMO is picking out the perfect gift based on the questionnaire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafcmf Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I just wanted to let my SS know that I loved the gift card and I didn't make it to Michaels on Sunday as planned but I did get there this morning. I got some great Christmas decorations. Just wanted to say thank you again. The candy is all gone, it was a candy filled weekend. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorburg Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Just got package in the mail. Still buying my SS gifts. Wont unwrap until around Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittenlover Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 As I live solo, I like gatorburg's idea. I may hang onto my unopened SS box once I receive it until Christmas morning (this will take some serious willpower HA!) so I have something to unwrap while my kitties enjoy fresh catnip and new toys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's a nice thought, I could never wait!!! Especially not if I received it so early. If it was a few days before Christmas it would be easier for me to wait I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogiporkchop Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Business is picking up! Thanks to those who have sent me tracking #s so far. If you get your package and are planning to wait to open it please let me know (here in the thread is fine). The person who sent to you will appreciate it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wittenlover Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Wrapping up shopping for my SS this weekend, will be shipping Monday, Tuesday at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katyloveshockey Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I received my SS gift on Saturday and opened it. I will post a picture later, but wanted to thank my SS for the lovely ornaments and Christmas CD set. I needed to get new Christmas music, so it worked out wonderfully!

pogiporkchop Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Happy Thanksgiving all! I've decided to extend the shipping deadline to Dec. 7th (Saturday). It would be unrealistic to expect BF weekend shoppers (which I think would be most of us, myself included) to find gifts and get them ready in such a short time span, especially if you're like me and have to work most of the weekend. Don't forget to let me know when you've sent and when you've received. Stay safe out there! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBWilliams Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Great idea! I'm still gathering items for my SS and OE. Gotta wrap and put package together, but wanted to find those deals to throw in there. Yay, for more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindy0712 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I missed the exchanges this year, but I am going to make sure I do not miss them next year. From what I am reading, it all sounds really fun to do and to be a part of. Hurry 2014 Holiday Season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get ready for next year I would suggest building your posting history some... we'd love to have you join in the fun!Thank you for the helpful suggestion. I am not one to post much. Not because I don't want to, but because I am rather shy. Yes, even online. I worry if what I type will be misunderstood, my humor not coming across, or just not wanting to be 'center of attention' for that moment. I have been a member for so long that I figured it was time to give back and participate, so I shall try all I can to increase my posts in the correct manner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be holding off to open for Christmas, just wanted to let my person know. Thank you! Plus, since I just got back, will finish up my SS and OE. Will mail by Thursday and send my tracking numbers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
