    I'm mailing mine next week! I picked something I would like so I hope she likes it! Are we revealing who we are in the gift?? Or on the opening thread?

    Mine is mailed! But, I wish I had thought to buy the gift in person and then make the packaging fun - I just bought online and shipped direct

    @swurlygurl: with my baby gift, I shipped it direct and was so mad that I didn't get to wrap it...so for my adult gift I made SURE to ship it to myself first so I could wrap it.
    I kick myself for not wrapping my baby gift

    Can someone maybe start a new thread about when we will open gifts and whether we are revealing who we are with the gift or on here? (: Please? (: thank you (:

    @hellocupcake: we're opening on black friday and you're supposed to reveal yourself ON the gift, but, many people just shipped it directly (From Amazon maybe?) and so they are revealing on here.

    Either way: I think there will be a thread that starts on black Friday that has photos of the gifts and show people opening gifts and has thanks yous and all that. I cant wait!

    Purchased mine and sending it directly to my giftee. I wish I could have had it wrapped but they didn't offer gift wrapping.

    I had the seller put a note that says Love, Danizaur on the inside of the package. I guess that's okay?

    i'm hoping my gifter is a procrastinator like me! i lack self control so waiting to open it would kill me, lol, i'd have to hide it in the closet or something so i wouldn't be tempted to open it early

    i had the etsy seller ship to me (hoping it arrives tomorrow or monday) so i could add a card & wrap it, but that means my giftee is going to have to wait til i can ship it out next week. excited to see everyone's surprises!

    I mailed mine directly from the vendor so no cute wrapping for me either. Now, I'm wondering if I put my HB name on there or not?! Crap!! I think I just signed it with my regular name... *face palm* lol

    Are we revealing who we had? I don't think mine has my name on it.

  34. petunia354

    pomegranate / 3863 posts

    What if the person didn't reveal their name? Did you use their HB name on the postage or did you secret message them to ask their real name?

  35. Smurfette

    GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts

    @MrsTiz: I think we are all waiting till the 29th to open and post pictures. Bunnylove08's nephew just opened her gift.

  36. Smurfette

    GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts

    @petunia354: I addressed mine with their name cause they put it. But I think the card was to her HB name.

  37. immabeetoo

    honeydew / 7687 posts

    @petunia354: I would secret message and ask for their real name!

    I'm going to email folks who don't have their address listed!

    @MrsTiz: what do you mean yours doesn't have your name on it?

  38. mrskc

    bananas / 9357 posts

    I signed my name and HB name on my gift and addressed it to the person's actual name since I knew it.

  39. mrskc

    bananas / 9357 posts

    @rachiecakes: That probably means the person didn't put their address in. Maybe secret message them and ask for it.

    @scg00387: on both of the ones I shipped I don't think it has my name anywhere.as the gifter
