I shouldn't have put it off, but I'll be doing some secret Santa shopping today on the way home to avoid post-Thanksgiving anarchy.
 
All my ideas have been sold out so far...sucks living so far north. I'm giving it until this weekend and then finding a backup plan.
 
Ended up having to go with my backup plan.

Turns out that using Amazon Prime to ship it to me for free and then repackaging and sending it myself overseas will be faster and cheaper. :lol

Oh well.
 
UPS attempted a delivery for something and I wasn't home. Assuming it's my SS gift since I'm not expecting anything myself.

My gift should be going out this weekend.
 
I've been shoppig today and got the last parts of my gift now. I think my tiny tim will dig it, I myself think it's pretty great. Did wrap everything just now and will send it out fist thing tomorrow morning.

There was some little problem though and I hope it will work out alright. If not, dont worry Tiny Tim, I'll get you a replacement!
 
Sent out my package today :D

Hoooly crap at the shipping costs... Paid 150SEK for shipping to Germany, which equals to about €14 and $20,6... The package wasn't even that heavy (0.8kg). Fuck the shipping costs in Sweden. Next time I'll order everything online via Amazon or something... It'll be much cheaper.
 
I still need one thing for my package. Unless the Finnish post office is mistaken, it'll still reach its destination in time.
 
Something arrived today from Amazon in gift wrapping. The card says "I live where you used to... I think?" Not sure if that's a hint about my Secret Santa or the gift... :lol

I Got my package in today! I'm so excited! :D

Man, not to complain in the slightest, but my Tiny Tim only has one post and was very vague. Guess I need to be creative haha? I really wanted to go all out for someone :P
 
Just got home from visiting my sister for Thanksgiving; and had a package in my mailbox!! ^____^

So excited, I went ahead and decorated the tree today so I could put my first present of the season under it! I also have most of the things for my TT, so my box should be sent out this week!
 
Finally, I have everything for my gift. I went a bit over budget, but I hope my TT likes it. I will get it in the mail tomorrow, should be plenty of time for it to arrive.

I apologise in advance for my wrapping skills. It must be the most horrendous looking gift, but at least it's wrapped and I hope my TT doesn't care :-)
 
Got everything wrapped. Is it ok to use an old fed ex box? I had one laying around and packaged it up. Should be ok to re-mail with all the old labels taken off right? I haven't shipped stuff before so I have no idea.

Oh man, I need to re-open the box and add in some kind of personal message. Totally forgot and I sealed the box up =O
 
Should get my gift out on thursday. I have had a hard time finding something that I think my TT would like.
 
I've been busy but I'm finally getting on this seriously. Will probably have it all done tonight or tomorrow. I've been having trouble because they were pretty vague and post history didn't help much. Hopefully they'll like what I decide on.
 
Got my gift!! Came in a Amazon box and noticed through the crease in the box it wasn't wrapped so i didn't open it :) I'll wrap the Amazon box and put it under the tree :)

I should be getting the gifts for my person by tomorrow. I'll wrap and send by the weekend :D

Picked up my secret Santa gifts last night. Luckily my GF is flying out to the GAF'ers country tomorrow morning and will be able to ship it from the local post office. Stroke of luck since international shipping rates are bloody murder & it probably wouldn't get there in time.
 
Mine went out today. It has to cross the Atlantic and most of North America but I'm reliably informed that it should arrive well before Christmas.
 
Mine went out today, and the mailing costs were higher than the cost of the gift itself :/ But that's okay, doesn't happen every day.
 
Shipped mine out today. The post office lady gave me a weird look since I was shipping it over seas. She actually had to do some work.
 
Today I got the final part of my gift, so I bought some wrapping paper, it's all wrapped up waiting for me to send it out tomorrow...

I hope my Tiny Tim likes what I sent. Never done this before so am kind of nervous :S
 
got mine today!

can't wait to crack it open! (sorry about the DSi-quality pic)

still waiting for one more part of mine to send it out, hopefully by Friday.
 
Shipped just now :D but the stupid customs sticker, I had to be super vague, hope it goes through ok, but I also hope it doesn't give too much away when it arrives....
