Question:

What is the deadline on this? I know we have discussed it before but I don't think we actually set a specific date.

salmphil

Omg I had so much fun shopping for my gal. I smile just thinking about it. This way a brilliant idea!

Biscotto

I wish I could have joined but I felt bad about someone getting me and having to pay for the price of shipping to Switzerland. Have fun ladies!

Um... let's say December 14th?  That gives everyone some time to shop around.  The holiday season is busy for everyone!

I truly love toe socks but don't you find them hard to get on and keep on your toes sometimes? Bahahaha SO has never put toe socks on before and wanted to try a pair that i just got OMFG i swear it was like watching a freaking monkey try to use tools for the first time i was laughing so damn hard. He just couldn't get the "one toe in each toe hole" concept. He got so frustrated that he gave up and tore them off. It was priceless! )

ST3WD

Sending out my gift today. I hope you all tingle with anticipation! 

('Cause I am. Waiting is hard. )

Edit: weird smiley fail? WHY IS IT WEIRD?? I want to keep the evil face!

ST3WD

Maybe that's exactly what I was thinking when I wrote it.

I keep trying to figure it out by the picture that is on their elfster profile but its not the same as the bump and its too small meh

cafecreme

I find it really weird that a few moms never came forward to say they bought for who. 

Anyway, my mom should get one of her packages by tomorrow!

I didnt know we were supposed to tell?

Sorry, it was me. I have been out of town/totally overwhelmed with going back to work and have only been checking the same 5 discussions on here (this was not one of them). My elfster has been set up since last year, so it doesn't have my bump screen name. You are welcome!

cafecreme

Yea, normally with exchanges like this, when they receive their gift (take pictures, etc.), you tell if you were their Secret Santa or not.

At least, that's how my last board did it.

That makes sense. I thought you meant we should have announced our Secret Santas by now. :P

I keep getting tracking updates for my mom's package. SQUEEEEEEE, I'm so excited for her!

salmphil

YES TO @ST3WD‌'s GIF ABOVE. I came back from a meeting and found an exciting package of awesome on my desk. Somehow finding the willpower to wait to open til I get home *hops foot to foot in anticipation*
ETA: @Carmar3‌ I think I love you already. You made my day with packaging alone!

cafecreme

I'm @carmar3's Secret Santa!

I'm happy that you like them! I didn't realize in that one print that Santa was drinking. It really makes me crave a cosmo right now. 

salmphil

@Carmar3‌ is THE BEST! Not only are there socks with martini-swirling Santas, I discovered the socks were full of chocolates and cute nail polish (I was just scouring my home for my chocolate fix!) Totally made my day, thanks, lady!!

I'm super glad you liked it! Us pregnant ladies got to stick together! :>

Above and beyond my friend, thanks for the cross - country pick me up!!

cafecreme

@carmar3, did you get your 3rd package today?

cafecreme

My secret santa is....@st3wd! SQUEEE!!

I just got it about an hour ago (my mail man sucks and somehow my neighbor ended up with it). I swear, he hates me. 

ST3WD, you went above and beyond...you really made my night!! I can't wait to dive into those cookies (no allergies here!). And, those slipper socks are so comfy. I might just be living in them the next few days. Thank you for the socks, pumice brush and cookies, and the card and note were very thoughtful. I can't imagine how long it took to wrap all of it, and the box that it was in was wrapped down like Fort Knox. It seriously took me like 20 minutes to cut and unwrap everything. 

My stash! 

I can't wait to see the arrival of your little peanut (Are you team green, blue or pink??). Also, you're real name is our #1 name for a girl. Such a lovely, classic name! 

Love, Cafecreme and family

I also wanted to PM you, so check your folder in a little bit. If I don't message tonight, I'll message you sometime tomorrow.

Thank you secret Santa! I am totally in love with both pairs! I can't wait to wear the long ones to keep warm tomorrow since it is going to be really cold (I'm in california so my definition is when it is in the 50's and windy).

Enigma87

Got some awesome skull socks!

kcbizme

I will be shopping for my mom this weekend. I'll make sure to get the gift sent out by Monday!

Muahahaha, I like to make opening gifts a challenge but decided against wrapping each sock individually. I'm the resident crazy lady for making things impossible. 

We're Team Green, and are still accepting name suggestions. I think Jaxon is my favorite so far. Thank you for your kind words! I'm so happy you like them.  

mariahd43

Oh my my!! Received my socks today from my super sweet mama! Lavender infused and all. Thank you thank you!!

finallyourturn2

@mandi195‌ Thank you! I love them both. I haven't worn the short ones yet, but I love the way that brand feels when they are on. The tall ones are nice and warm (cute too).

Ugh, I feel like a failure. I didn't think to wrap my socks, to send. I went to the post office and mailed them out in a priority mail envelope and they barely fit. SS, I hope you like them, when you get them, and now, after seeing everyone's packages, I feel like I should find something else to send to make up for my shitty packaging. 

Eh, don't beat yourself up over it. Opening up the package is enough. It doesn't need to be packaged twice. I used target online and I'm pretty sure they didn't wrap the stuff I sent. 

kcbizme

LOL I sent mine through Amazon. Luckily I got an update that they will be there before Christmas Eve, but I didn't have them giftwrapped and they will arrive in 3 separate packages.
