Just in case anyone is wondering where your packages are...

My wife and I used to deliver newspapers as a side hustle. She threw one onto a roof, and just shot me a look that said, "Well? It's not getting on the porch by itself, buster."

Item #4:  Acquired.

[Ron C.]

My gift is off!  

The real question is why this is done before all the rest of my Christmas shopping?? 

[KirbyJack]

Wrapped, packed, and ready to mail!  

[universal soldier]

Will be packing up and should be in the mail by Friday/Saturday.

[wombat]

My gift has arrived. Peaked in just enough to confirm what it was.

Trying to think of what to get my S.S. However he's as vague as he possibly could be.

I see this is gonna be a tough one....

[unclezebo]

I give a general (maybe wide) parameter, like ages and what I tend to collect. I try not to give my gifter a sense of panic or pigeon hole them if we are not in the same wheel house. Although I feel the pain of getting description of I'm fine with anything.

2 items acquired today; another ordered. The ball is rolling. I'll probably dig into my collection next for a couple of things.

I'm hoping to get the package together and shipped by the end of the first week of December.

 

A package arrived today for my giftee but I'm outta town. I'll be home this weekend so I'll be able to put all the presents together and shipped them off probably Monday. It's been fun doing this and I know it'll be even more so once we get closer to Christmas.

This has been the first time I've participated in the exchange. I may sign up for the raffle next.

I tried to be specific but leave it open to interpretation, so while mentioning specific issues I threw in some genres that I really haven't scratched the surface of, ie artists and etc.

Sounds simple, but sometimes it builds the anticipation and a bit of see saw battling! until opening!

A kid feeling!

Either way, it is always a surprise when Christmas approaches, but in a good way!

Glad to see you take an opportunity! The raffle is an event to itself, that makes waking up to pick your prize live in a thread a bit like another day of Christmas!

I'd say like a " LCS's sale you just have to attend", but with no black Friday feeling.

That's what I got.  It's a challenge to be sure.

Gifts are on their way to a new home.

[universal soldier]

Package shipped this morning! 

[ADAMANTIUM]

It is hard to believe it's "only" been two weeks since we got assigned...

It also kind of feels like, "it's already been two weeks".
