Secret Santa Question

So when we mail our gift do we put on it who it is from?  How do we reveal ourselves?

Re: Secret Santa Question

  • And is the 17th the day we mail it or the day we try and have it delivered by?

  • Last year I put a card inside the box that had my name and sn on it.
  • You reveal who you are with the gift.  So I think I included a note with the gift and signed it with my name (and TK name). 

    And you are welcome to mail it earlier, but you should have it in the mail no later than Dec 17th.  I think trying to get it delivered to the recipient by the 17th is a good goal, but with the craziness of the holidays, it sometimes isn't possible.

  • Thanks for asking and answering these questions.

  • I think we should set a date to do a big reveal on here and not say anything on here until then (obviously put it in your gift, but just don't tell here).  That way, people who get their gifts later won't be able to figure out who there person is ahead of time by process of elimination.

    Anyone else on board with that idea?

  • So glad you girls had the same questions as me! I just bought my stuff for my person and didn't know what to write on the card lol

  • Do we open the gift when we get it or wait until Christmas?

  • I say we wait til Christmas and do a BIG PIP thread the day after to say thank you>  That is my vote!

    I'm in for that!

    Also, with shipping the items, typically the senders name is on the package...that would give away who the gift is from - right?
    What have you guys done in the past with this?

  • I think most people last year put their name on the gift or card, so it was revealed when the recipient got the package.

    We can still keep it mum until the big reveal, though, like sunshine is saying - even though you know, you don't tell others so they can't figure out who has them by process of elimination.

    That sounds like a fun idea!
