I'm sending mine out today because I have to go to the post office anyway, and if it stays in my house much longer E will find a way to open it

I'm cool with LO opening the gift Black Friday. We all need to take pics! Are you supposed to guess who sent the gift?
pineapple / 12053 posts
i'm going to send mine this week as well! black friday sounds good to open gifts if i remember! have big shopping plans and our extended family will be here.

I don't see any strict rules;the gift exchange date is 11/17 so I took that to mean everyone has to mail it by 11/17! I'm hoping to finish mine up tomorrow but LO's nap timing is limiting my sewing!

I got a lovely little package in the mail today from Amazon. I opened it without thinking (I've ordered a lot this week) and realized it was likely from E's Secret Santa!
There was no note or name or anything, so, assuming this is in fact from his SS, thank you so much! I'll wrap it and let him open it on Black Friday!
ETA: Lol never mind, my mom just told me she sent it!
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
Mailing mine on Saturday!!
Is everyone opening on Black Friday? I will be at the IL's so I won't be able to after all. Maybe I will let her open Thanksgiving morning before we leave and just post the picture at the IL's.

Stupid question, how do I find out their address?! Is it listed somewhere?
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
@littlek: I thought it was supposed to be revealed in the package who the SS is?? That's how I've always done it anyway!
Eek - I'm behind! I need to pick out a gift
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
@HLK208: If you click on Your Draw on the group's main page you'll be taken to their profile page and their address will be listed on the left hand side of the page (like halfway down?)
honeydew / 7687 posts
@HLK208: some folks didn't list theirs. I can look if you're having trouble; I can see since I set it up.
bananas / 9357 posts
I have my gift, just need to send it out next week! So we are all waiting until Black Friday to open and post pics?
@scg00387: how do I know if my address is visible to the person who drew me?
cantaloupe / 6800 posts
@Mrs. Pen: okay that's why i'm waiting, I wasn't sure what to do about that...do I put my name on the package? or do they never know who sent it?? ah!
I have no clue what to get my match!
bananas / 9357 posts
@MrsTiz: see I thought they would know once they get the package. I don't want it to be a secret forever!
cantaloupe / 6164 posts
@HLK208: Can you ask your SS to add her address to her account? If you ask a secret question she won't know who's asking!
@MrsTiz: @Mrs. Pen: @mrskc: Yes! Sign your gift! I want to know who has Sadie!!
cantaloupe / 6800 posts
Is it bad to ask my match's mom what to get him? I have no idea what to get him lol!
bananas / 9357 posts
@MrsTiz: did you try asking secret questions on elfster to give you an idea?
