I think my secret santa must have forgotten about me....:( I thought maybe the mail was just running a little slow. Oh well, I'm just glad my gifts got to my person and she likes them.:)

We're having the same problem with OSS. :( I can't believe someone wouldn't follow through with something like that. Especially if someone got something really awesome for their person but got nothing in return. :(

That really stinks....I'm so sorry. It's so important when people make a commitment like this that they follow through with it.:( ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) to Nancy & Saje!!

I didn't want to come off like I was whining or anything.... I guess my feelings were just a bit hurt because I felt like I didn't matter. But it's really no big deal... maybe there's a reason my secret santa never followed through with their commitment. Even if I knew ahead of time I wouldn't be getting anything.. I still would have gotten what I did for my person.

I think you should pm SummerRiot and ask her who was supposed to send your gift. Or at least ask her if they are still a member here. ?? :D

I think next year it should be made clear... that the organizer of the secret santas will display a big reveal on a specific day... Everyone will know ahead of time and if they decide not to follow thru they will look like......well you know! :yikes:

That's probably a good idea. Maybe that way, people will be more apt to follow through with their committment. I just wish my secret santa has sent me a PM and told me that for whatever reason... they were unable to send me a gift. I would have been fine with that... things happen, I understand. I just hate the fact that I got all excited with the anticipation of getting something and watched the mail day after day for nothing.

I really am not angry... it's not a big deal. I just felt like I needed to get it off my chest and wanted to see if I was the only one who didn't get anything.

Oh, that's awful! I'm sorry Nancy and Saje. :( I really enjoyed picking out gifts for my SS but I would've been very disappointed if I never recieved anything.

speaking of cowgirl... where has she been? I hope everything is okay with her pregnancy. Maybe she's not been feeling well lately. If she was my secret santa I would not be upset she didn't send anything because I'd know she had a reason. I would, however, be a bit saddened to think if it was someone else who said they wanted to participate and got a gift from someone and then decided they weren't gonna do it and not let anyone know.

Yes I hope she at least comes on soon and gives an update :) And I hope all is well! And I would never be mad either if she was mine...she probably has a very good reason ;)

To be blunt- that just sucks that someone would willingly sign up for something and then bail. Says a lot about their character.

I'm really sorry- for both the snail mail and online folks who didn't get their gifts.

Maybe it might a help a little to remember that the reason for the season isn't about the gifts anyways? Eh, probably not.. but I'm still sorry.

The same thing happened to me last year on a different board, which kind of jaded me to Secret Santa swaps, at least with people that I don't know. It sucked, because I spent a lot of time/effort/money sending them their gift, and they didn't send anything! They didn't even say thanks until I PMed them asking about it! This was a swap without a price limit, too, and they wanted indestructable toys for their big dogs... so I got a bunch of Kongs & really high quality toys/chews that were expensive & I special ordered stuff.

rahhhh I'm done ranting. I would totally forgive some one who told me ahead of time not to expect anything for a legit reason, though. The important part is that you did the right thing and made some one really happy!
