Im wondering the same thing! I keep checking my email and nothing!

ceamac0127 · February 2014

Okay, in our package do we reveal ourselves or are the people supposed to guess once they get it?

Eta - I saw the other BMB put in a slip of paper with 3 facts that people on the board know about them and after they got the package a thread was made to guess their gifter. That seems fun!
