Hi everyone,

First of all, sorry if you have yet to receive your gifts. I won't lie I went on a whim on this one and didn't think everything through -_____- There were probably more restrictions I should've set and rules and perhaps even demand a picture of the post or tracking so I can insure that something was sent. I will keep that in mind for next time, if I am the one doing this again (help is welcomed :D) The closest thing I have with regards to package shipment info was that everyone responded to me that they have sent the gifts. I thought this was enough :-X

So how should we do this? Should I just give out the list of who has who? Or is keeping this a total secret better? Hm...

I sent a pretty nice gift to Malaysia, USPS Intl Priority, on the deadline day. Kind of disappointed it hasn't been posted... hopefully customs didn't get in the way.

I got mine and so did my giftee.

I think the only way to be certain would be for everyone to send a gift to a distribution person, and then that person sends them out to a random person in their region.  That would increase postage and reduce the amount of individuality, but would ensure that people who sent a gift in got a gift back.

That doesn't make sense to me at all.  The only deterrent necessary is shame.  The holidays are about giving, not a guarantee of receiving.

I agree with this.  I did the Secret Santa at DT too, and had the oposite problem.  (My person got theirs, but I haven't received one.)  That doesn't bother me much at all, but the thought of someone potentially not getting the one I sent makes me sad.

So guys, 5 weeks after the secret santa gift was supposed to best sent and still nothing, I had a feeling that this should happen even before I signed up for this.. :(
It is weird because lysol send me a another gift the day after the packages was going to be sent originally and it took 5 days.
It is lost, I get that, but I want to know who had me in the secret santa and what you did send to me? :D

How many others have still not gotten their gifts?

Acetrak, you should keep a list of who has recieved their gifts.

I drew snoopy.  I've had so much trouble with international shipping (RIP cherry doubleshots) that I just had something sent directly from retailer.

I had you, when I saw your first post of what you thought you got I was like damn there must have been a mix up. I looked through a lot of your posts to see what you wanted/didn't have and couldn't find a single thing. Then I saw you had an RA set so I bought a cable to go with it. Hope you like it.

It's awesome!  I know I kept getting things in the mail that were either surprises or things I forgot buying  :))  I think it will go nicely with LZGH ;)
