7th Annual SECRET SANTA on Garage Journal

[taumac]

I get your point, but the "get to know you" doesn't have to be asking for a specific item. Hell, if I knew my recipient was into something I could put my own spin on it. But, not knowing makes it hard to be creative on a personal level.

Most of us are MEN... we need some direction when it comes to gift giving.

I agree. Well reviewing posts of my SS didn't turn up much but his post on here gave me a better idea in what direction to go in.

 

[drsung]

My SS gift has arrived!

 

[MJB24]

I received mine a little while ago. Looking forward to opening it. I may have met someone with worse handwriting than me. I am pretty sure it's from Washington state. I have given the packet a few light shakes. No clues yet on it.

 

[CoryZ]

I received mine today from The Great White North. Looking forward to opening it on Christmas! The only tree here is a cat tree, so I'm going to skip the pic for now.

 

[Addrock]

I got mine! It came from Iowa! I can't wait.

 

[The Cobbler]

My recipient received his parcel and posted a picture here. I goofed & forgot to pack 1 part of the gift. I will get it to you after Christmas. I know, I know the suspense is even worse now, isn't it?

edit; anxiously awaiting mine

 

[Toolgarage]

Wife text me with this Got mine Thanks now the waiting game http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=396546&stc=1&d=1419042427

Sorry nothing good comes out of Iowa.

 

[Richard Cranium]

The package I sent out cleared customs on Tuesday But my guy has not posted that he has received it yet. I have not received mine yet either. I go out and look out side both doors and the garage door each night when I get home from work... Rich

 

[dodge610]

My victim should of recieved his by thursday but has not posted yet. Mine showed up on thursday my wife got it from the mail man. Now we wait.

 

[rocco]

Mine just arrived today, I'm hoping the one I sent out across the country has made it by now, was sent out nearly a week and a half ago.

 

[RPH]

Received mine yesterday. UPS stated the guy got his earlier this week.

 

[BlackjackNA]

My guy should receive his Tuesday... (not cuttin' it tight, is it?)

 

[mrpizza]

Mine arrived last night! Tracking says mine will be there tuesday for my recipient.

 

[logixjock]

Forgot to get a picture, but I got mine early this week. Can't wait to see what it is!

Sent mine out to TX via USPS Thursday.

 

[k-os]

Mine was delivered really early this morning!

 

[Lone Star Blaze]

I turned on to our street bringing my son home from hockey. I see USPS sitting in front of my house. Whooo my GJSS is here I jump out grab the box off the porch. Nope its my wife's Pyrex collectors SS

 

[PECVD2]

Nothing here yet but no worries as I get to open one at my wood carving group party today....but they are white elephant gifts so I am ready for another box of tire chains or a talking wall mount Striped Bass. YaHOO!

 

[Farmall450]

Yep.
Inside the box for ID and letter.

Outside teh box mention of GJSS.

I forgot the letter this year so he'll get that later.

 

[shocksandstrutz]

Received my SS gift earlier this week, just got around to taking a pic. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

 

[boro_boy70]

Received mine on Thursday. The senders forum name was not on the outside of the box, so until I open it on Christmas I'll just say Thanks Secret Santa.

Our computer is down until my wife opens the new one on Christmas , and I can't figure out how to post a picture from my phone, but I'll keep trying.

 

[KSB]

I was told 3-4 days for shipping, looks like the estimates were off but my package is in Chicago at a sort facility. Hopefully it gets redirected back east for delivery by Monday or Tuesday.

 

[jdcompman]

Finally got around to posting a picture of my gift under the tree

 

[Ray-CA]

Mine arrived late yesterday from "PW NY" (going to have to Google that!) No tree this year (2 cats and a very exuberant puppy combined with antique glass ornaments.......nope)

Thanks Santa.

Ray

 

[89MustangGX]

My SS gift came a while back, just never got a tree to post a picture with. Thanks SS!

[Hpozzuoli]

I forgot the letter this year so he'll get that later.

Haha...I just stuffed a bunch of stuff in mine and sent it out. I forgot to identify myself so I sent my guy a pm and explained how dumb I am.

 

[carcajou]

Just a reminder to everyone. If you receive your gift, please acknowledge it with a quick post. Some of us see that are gifts some received but we would feel better if we know for sure. Thanks

 

[zkling]

I've been in and out of town. Got a chance to dig through a pile of mail today. SS gift was there. All the way from Australia!!! Ironic, my SS giver was out of the US and my recipient is out of the US.

 

[Outlander]

Boy, the box I sent was kind of drab compared to the flat rate box with Spidey's picture!

 

[CudaChick1968]

Boy, the box I sent was kind of drab compared to the flat rate box with Spidey's picture!

So was mine. I'm a rookie and will know better to decorate the outside next time too. I guess it's all the love and best wishes packed inside that's important though!!

 

[zkling]

Where do you get flat rate boxes with themes?

Where do you get flat rate boxes with themes?

The Post Office?

I hand wrote my note, does that count?

 

[chrismenke]

Received my gift.

I'm pretty sure it is a USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate box, which is awesome cause I've always wanted one! Won't know for sure until I peel off all that clear tape on Xmas day.

 

[jerryW]

Duker.

According to USPS tracking, the package I sent is at the Kingwood post office. Expected to be delivered on monday.

My SS package arrived here and is waiting for Christmas morning. For a small flat-rate box, it's heavy. Heavy is good.

 

[The Cobbler]

mine was on the front porch tonight, must have been there since yesterday cause we don't have mail service on Saturday here.
I'm anxiously awaiting for Christmas morning.

I'll try to snap a pic tomorrow

 

[Richard Cranium]

Carcajou, I take it that we are in the same boat, I have not heard from my person that they have received their gift and I have not received mine either...Rich

 

[Fyrme]

You have to wonder how many postal workers have done a google search for "The garage Journal", seeing it plastered on these boxes. Maybe Ryan has some stats on site traffic this month.

Thanks for the heads up Jerry. Of course now you have raised my anxiety level as I wait for the postman!

Edit: just showed up on the porch!!! I feel like I am 8 years old again having to wait to open this up!
