You brought up a good point, Leslie.

With all the dramas of holiday shipping...when should we start sending stuff to ensure that the recipient gets her gift before Christmas? When's the latest?

To help yall out a bit
 

To help yall out a bit: If you are having trouble finding something in your squirrel's liking from the list they sent to Lynn see the past thread I wrote called "These are a few of my Favorite Things" in the AGD Forum. See if that helps you get more ideas.

I think that AlphaGam1019 (Nina) was the only one that listed 2 addresses. It may depend on how close/far your package has to go, ;) :D

Someone also asked me "When should we reveal ourselves? In the package w/ the gift and write "From: AGD Squirrel" @ address? Or a snail mail or email note later on? The later will keep 'em guessing!

I am going to leave it up to you, just remember that many of you have your town's location on your profile, lol.;)

There are multiple people from the same part of the country...if you know someone traveling to a different part, they could mail it for you, lol.

Have fun!!

Argh! I didn't think about that! I'm only one of two sisters from Hawaii! That'll be a dead giveaway!

Too late to join the party?

At least this way, whoever gets a package postmarked from Hawaii won't have to assume it's Sandy :D

I might have one for you! I have to find out an address.

Lynn:)

I like the idea but i'm broke and can't afford to buy anything...Leslie keeps convincing me to go out w her to eat instead of eating at the AB house...

But my note is that you need to put a return address because esp since after 9/11 there have been notices out at post offices that show things about packages that will make them be alerts...Not having a return address was one of the things that make packages get immediate suspicion...

HOpe that makes sense..
but if anything i guess you could put a cute AGD logo/sticker or drawing where the return label is so it doesn't seem AS weird...

Thanks!
 

I hope that you go with Leslie!! :D

Re: Thanks!
 

oh it doesn't take too much to convince me to go out to eat...so i go with Leslie...and my tummy definetly shows the results!

luv

I got my Secret Squirrel gift in the mail last night! BIG THANK YOU to her...the AGD calendar is soooo cute and I can't wait to put it up (it replaces the icky golf-course calendar Sean put up last year. tee hee)

Should I reveal who my SS is?

NO!!
 

That way, people won't play process of elimination if their gift doesn't give them a clue, lol!

Question: how is everyone sending their SS gifts? Are you wrapping them and sending large boxes, or sending them in smaller packaging? I don't do a lot of big mailing so I am somewhat unsure. Thanks!

I had 1 big box and wrapped the smaller ones in it. Also may depend on how fragile it is.

I got mine today. I have a lovely lessons learned from the cat calendar (which reminds me of my 2 brat cats) and a squirrel charm on a bracelet that is absolutely gorgeous. Thank You!!!

I got my Secret Squirrel gift in the mail last week, but my mom is making sure that I don't open it until Christmas!!!

I'm hoping that my Secret Squirrel will get hers by next week...it's going out in the mail tomorrow! Ooh I hope she likes it!
