The Elfster system's automated gift suggestion system is quite entertaining. It suggested I should buy a metal detector... Uh, forgive me if I ignore its suggestion.

I for one am glad you didn't.
Big ups to Nighthawk for the Amazon gift cert! Harry Potter is on its way!

In the box, address afixed. Postoffice on Monday.
Sorry it's not wrapped. But you can always put the box under the tree (or next to the menorrah) and not open it right away.
Sorry you don't know who it is for yet. Love this Sekrit Squirrel stuff.

sent yesterday. The original plan involved a puzzle box from think geek - only, after opening the box {correctly} to put the gifts in, I sorta left it open over night, and the box part must have shrunk because try as we might, the drawers fit into the box but would not 100% close again.... I am sorry to whom the gift is for that there is no puzzle... I hope you still wuv me!

Also sorry for delay on my part - it's going out today or tomorrow latest. Hard to find what I've been looking for, offline at least
To my SS - I've received it, no worries, just working up another mail-opening video, hehe

Got mine sent out yesterday finally... I presume and work on the basis that shipping isn't included in the total, since to/from Canada could be up to half the $25US It's by air and they said 4-10 days, so hopefully it'll be there by Christmas =)
I got mine last week from the awesomest of awesome enaxor Thank you!

I got my fantastic gift a couple of days ago from Varin; a P.F. Changs gift card. I can't wait to use it. Thank you!

I got a two part gift and was weak and opened the card part - a gift certificate for Sweet Maria's from Celina! Woo! Thanks so much! And perfect timing, too - I was just about to order from them.
I'm saving the wrapped part for Christmas morning.

I recieved a nice package from ThinkGeek with a shirt (oo1oo), some astronaut ice cream, and some digital tape. I have been offline for several days and my not-so-secret santa spilled the beans when she found out that someone named 'Murray' signed for my package.
Anyway, Thanks faeryqueen!! Merry Crimbo!

Got my box today--not going to open it until Friday, but if it's from who I think it is, it's very amusing because this person also got my name a couple (three?) years ago.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Received a box from konamouse!
The Mindtrap puzzle book and Alibi card game are excellent (will probably try the card game with family tonight or tomorrow), but the big hit is the "screaming monkey", which my son can't get enough of and spent all day yesterday launching shooting around the house.
Thanks!!!

Haven't gotten mine yet. I did, however, change my address a bit late on Elfster so it's possible it went to my apartment which means I'll get it next week when I'm back there.
