I can never stick to around $25 - things just add up too quickly, LOL. Luckily most of it is from my work so I didn't pay full retail for most.

 

[Oko]

Okay clearly I can't count lol. First package should be there tomorrow, second on Thursday.

 

[Moth]

I am already excited to see everyone's pictures with their loot

 

[AmberH]

Apparently I'm the only jerk that stayed close to the budget lol. But to be fair I did a lot of sale hunting.

No worries, I just went slightly over the minimum. I feel kind of bad with everyone else saying they went way over but I hope my person and dogs still like what I got them. It's the thought that counts, right?

 

[Airn]

Package 1 sent out! Shipping international is kind of a bitch :rofl1:

So, I'm sorry to the person who will be getting my box. It was nicely packed until the UPS worker had to rip it open and muddle through the box to see what was in it.

 

[Southpaw]

Dropped my package off at the post office today! When I printed my label it said it should be delivered on the 5th!

 

[AmberH]

Dear person, please forgive my horrible wrapping. Hopefully the dogs just shred it and don't pay attention. :lol-sign:

 

[Oko]

Well if not expensive, I did a pretty rad job wrapping/decorating/arranging if I do say so myself. Seriously I don't normally spend more than 25 bucks on family gifts lol. Poor high school student is poor.

It's not about the money. No worries!

Dude I didn't even wrap anything. I just tossed stuff in the box.

 

[noludoru]

Ummmmmmm.... I didn't. I way overspent. Oops.

There is a budget? :yikes::rofl1:

Yeah...I passed $ 25 and waved at it as it receeded in the rearview mirror

You two crack me up. :rofl1:

Okay, you two, NO ONE will care about this! I promise. Bonus if you got me, all I asked for were tennis balls and maybe a squeaky cuz toy. Everyone here will be thrilled with anyhting you get.

I just like getting a box in the mail, it's the thought that counts!

My dogs would be pretty thrilled if you sent them a dead squirrel or something... Hopefully their SS isn't mailing roadkill, though.

 

[Oko]

Yeah I did drop a dead mouse in there. And one of my rats in case they wanted to do barn hunt at home

I love getting packages so much. I love christmas time because I buy so many things online for people, and it's like wheeee packages! Lol.

Eta package 1 is out for delivery!

Seconding this.

I also don't work in a dog related field, so I don't get any wholesale, or employee discounts, and I like to shop in person and the local pet stores can be a little ridiculous when it comes to pricing. If I didn't spend over I would feel like I didn't get my person enough stuff. But everyone here loves getting their packages so much they probably wouldn't even notice.

 

[AllieMackie]

My package will be out by Friday! Just finishing the card that I want to include. I'm so excited for my SS to get this. <3

 

[iriskai]

Bah. Silly UPS. I was supposed to get package #1 today, but the 'estimated delivery date' has been replaced by 'EXCEPTION!' and there's a note that says 'Due to local operation disruption, packages not unloaded from trailer, expect a one day business day delay'. Get it together, Columbus UPS. I want to pack my SS gift!

Though box #2 won't get here until Friday, so I guess it's unimportant. Lol

Oh! I didn't even think about a card...

 

[Airn]

I just realized my SS will have no idea who I am.... Well it's an EXTRA Secret Santa. Lol

 

[Oko]

I'm practically bouncing up and down in anticipation of my SS getting their stuff. Dork.

 

[Sit Stay]

I am all done, but waiting on one thing that won't be in stock until next week. -crosses fingers- I just want to get everything shipped out!

Ugh - so I went to get that one thing today. And the guy says I won't be able to get it for "a few weeks". NOT what they told me on the phone before!

So he referred me to another place. More driving. They don't have it in stock either but said they'd be able to order it in on time. Fingers crossed...it will be cutting it close but it'll still be okay if it arrives when they say it will. If not, I'm going to have to ship what I have and ship this thing later.
