    I was toying with the idea of making something but have decided that it's perhaps better to purchase something along the same lines. Sussed it out today and found something that I hope will be welcome!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,770 ✭✭✭Jen Pigs Fly


    Guna get all my stuff I'm Friday! Hope I can get something that the recipient will love!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,524 ✭✭✭Zapperzy


    Iv mine bought, just need one little thing in each to top it off :) And some wrapping paper and something to put them all into :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 303 ✭✭tazwaz


    I've got the pressie sorted, must get some wrapping paper now :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    Seeing as we're now in December, posting is open!! You have till the 9th to get those packages on their way. I'm hoping my online orders come in tomorrow so I can get sorted (I ended up being able to shop online after all!)

    Please pm me or post on this thread when you have sent your presents, and when your pets have received theirs so I can make sure nothing gets lost in the post. This is very important so would appreciate everyone's cooperation on it! (But I have every faith ye will be as good as ever :D )

    I have all my things bought! Finally! :D Just gotta get me some wrapping paper and find the time to get to the post office at some stage. I think mine is open Saturday morning, so it'll be gone then at the latest.

    Have my parcel ready to go in the post on Thursday!

    Had to hide the pressies from Poll, she'd have only thought they were for her but now I'm really excited to have hers arrive. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,241 ✭✭✭✭Kovu


    My order arrived today! So hope to send it Thursday or Friday.

    I hope one of them doesn't mind cat smell as Squeak launched herself straight into the box as soon as my back was turned :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,241 ✭✭✭jellybear


    Will be posting mine tomorrow afternoon :)

    Jesus, thank feck I checked the thread, I didn't realise we had to post so soon. I'm involved in another secret santa and posting is by 19th December so I was probably thinking of that.
    Anyway, my goodies are arriving today (I just got a text from the courier) so will be sending them off tomorrow :D

    Thought this might be appropriate here :D



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,241 ✭✭✭✭Kovu


    Kovu was wrapping her presents ready for posting tomorrow. Kovu got preoccupied putting sellotape on the cat and moving him off the paper and forgot to put her name inside the lovingly wrapped items. Hasty unwrapping and rewrapping is about to happen.:o

    D'OH!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,009 ✭✭✭SingItOut


    I love Simons cat! We bought my cat beau loads of Simons cat stuff in petmania, his personality is identical to simons cat, plus he's a little on the chubby side too :D

    I'll be getting my secret santas gifts tomorrow and sending them off Monday hopefully


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


    Twitches gifts for the lucky recipient are all posted! He wanted to eat the card, but I told him no. He sulked. We had words. It's ok now.

    ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    So far I have 8 packages which are sent. Are most people holding out till the last day? :P I'm still waiting on my stuff to arrive. Starting to stress, it better arrive Monday!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 742 ✭✭✭jsabina


    I received for one and I'll try to post it tomorrow.. but waiting for the other one, sigh strasigh I don't understand why it's laaaate! :(

    I pm'd you a few minutes ago to say I'd sent mine :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,241 ✭✭✭✭Kovu


    I've sent one of mine!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Dubl07


    My gift is purchased but I want to add something to it which I'll be making on Sunday for posting Monday am. :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,770 ✭✭✭Jen Pigs Fly


    I will be sending mine on Monday, have one present sorted but the other I need to get something back in my parents who live 259km away from me :pac:

    If snow hits and I'm unable to get what I want to get for the present one person is guna get two packages! They're lucky I specialise in what their pet is as I have lots of stuff just sitting around that they will benefit from that I won't ever get use from, So they may as well get it :D
    (they still got their €10 worth of presents as well, which I have with me)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,060 ✭✭✭✭tk123


    Finally got mine posted today!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,524 ✭✭✭Zapperzy


    Both of mine are now posted :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Kamili


    Mine are all posted today, Echo tried to abscond with a few of the pressies for himself! Naughty puppy!

    One arrived for Diaz yesterday, she'll be delighted with it as she is feeling a little sorry for herself with her injury and stuck in her stable all the time...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,228 ✭✭✭honerbright


    Been super busy so was sorting out one of my SS today. I took my OH along and he got quite excited by the whole thing and kept picking up things saying that they're perfect (hopefully they are!) and insisting we buy the lot. So someone's fur baby is going to be a little spoilt :P :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 202 ✭✭KDII


    harry got his! very excited


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,770 ✭✭✭Jen Pigs Fly


    Got a huge parcel in the mail today! One of the animals will be really happy!

    Also my two are sent!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭andreac


    Got my present for my SS today so will try get it in the post later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    Dude got a box. He's very excited. Probably more so about the box than whats in it :D

    So far I have confirmation of 20/50 packages as being sent so if there is anyone that HAS sent theirs and just forgot to tell me, let me know!

    Tomorrow is the final day for posting. I'm going to be ringing the crowd I ordered presents from, it's been almost 2 weeks and no sign of it. I'm going to have to go with plan B and get into a pet shop tomorrow morning if they haven't arrived by then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 303 ✭✭tazwaz


    Pm sent ssillymangox

    Oscar's package arrived this morning :-)
    I sent ours in the post today


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,241 ✭✭✭✭Kovu


    Mine are both sent. Think I told you that but no harm in doing so again :D

    Mine posted today. Got a notice from the post office that there is a package waiting for me! Thanks again for organising this Sillymango. I think there has been more thought put into what to get my secret santa than my other half


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭PurplePrincess


    My parcel went off in the post this morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 838 ✭✭✭bluecherry74


    if there is anyone that HAS sent theirs and just forgot to tell me, let me know!

    That would be ME! :o Posted them this morning. had a very exciting afternoon yesterday trying to wrap presents while keeping dogs' noses out of things!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Dubl07


    I'll be posting in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,441 ✭✭✭pampootie


    I've been driving my parcel around since Friday and haven't made it to the post office! Will be posting at lunchtime tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,228 ✭✭✭honerbright


    I'm posting tomorrow, just trying to figure out a box from around the house. One of the gifts is a bit of an awkward shape so I may need to do some creative packaging :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    Parcel count is now up to 29/50 sent with more promised for tomorrow, a bit more reassuring than it was this morning, at least it's over half of them on their way!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 374 ✭✭nala2012


    My 2 will be posted tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,228 ✭✭✭honerbright


    Meant to say in my last post: I got a parcel today, but missed the post so I have to collect it from the depot. I'm pretty sure its a SS gift, I'm not expecting anything else. (Although it would be cool if it wasn't a SS gift, cos that would mean someone sent me a pressie :P :P :P)
