    BAM! Mines gone in the post. Finally.

    I'm embarrassed for my packaging this year :(


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


    A big red parcel was just delivered. Beautifully wrapped; how clever to use cling-wrap over the fancy paper. We can barely wait to open it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,763 ✭✭✭Knine


    A present for Gizmo the Guinea Pig just arrived. He is gonna be thrilled. Thank you SS. He will probably eat the wrapping paper too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,413 ✭✭✭Toulouse

    Posted at last! And pa's arrived this morning, hidden safely away as he was verrrry interested in it!


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


    I think that's the majority on their way now, just one or two people I haven't heard back from.

    Just so I can be doubly certain, can people who have sent ALL their presents please thank this post?


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


    And can people who have received ALL their presents please thank this post?

    Don't thank it if you've only received 1 out of 2, only hit the thanks button when they are all safely in your home :D


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


    We got allis this morning, my mam opened it because it had allis name on it! The postman was so confused :D Alli hasn't seen her new toys and treats so there gone into her Christmas stocking. Thank you to her secret Santa :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,809 ✭✭✭Frigga_92


    Only received a pressie for Thor and Loki so far but posted all of mine last Friday.


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


    Received Jesse's present today :) I bet the postman and the girls in the shop are very confused as to who these two new names are getting parcels :p When's our opening date again? :D

    My boyfriend collected Miss Roisins gift from the post depot today!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭ene


    mollys gift arrived today! according to my mum its very big!


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


    I've gotten both my gifts now. If i wasn't known as a crazy dog person before i certainly am now! Nelson's gift was addressed to him anf i live in a village where there are no numbers on houses so most my neighbours were asked if they knew a nelson my surname. Very funny looks i got when i told the postwoman nelson was a dog!


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


    I think it might be a good idea any year after this to put c/o the persons name, just to avoid confusion like that :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,763 ✭✭✭Knine


    Gizmo with his pressie.

    Nala's one was c/o my full name but nelsons wasn't. Hope my wrapping holds up in the post, wish i'd thought of clingfilm over it!

    Indeed! I wrapped my outer in brown paper for sturdiness but it wasn't nearly as festive as the one that we received.


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


    Roisins Parcel here safe and sound. Unwrapped the outer packaging and had it sitting there all festive looking till Poppy wandered over and actually lifted the lid by herself and tried to have a nose. Pressie is now safely upstairs in an unused bedroom :P :P :P


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


    Received my package today for Cooper. Thanks a mill.

    Just realised I never wrapped the one I sent. Im so sorry. I just put in an envelope. My bad.


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


    Max's gift arrived today. Postman was all "Uh.... Max, Cinnamon?!...?" lol.
    Dogs now have the zoomies from the excitement of the doorbell. Gift #2 hidden upstairs as well, can't take a chance with a nosy JRT around!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,983 ✭✭✭Raminahobbin


    Kayla's gift got dropped into my shop today :D

    She's not getting NEAR it until the opening day as she definitely will want to open them- she LOVES ripping wrapping paper!!


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


    Harry Horse's 🎠gift arrived today!! Omg someone was very generous! He will be absolutely delighted!


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


    Squeaks arrived today as well and now both their prezzies have been put out of reach of both of them. Kovu is a demon for wrapping paper, he drags it off into mums locker and shreds it before burrowing under it and going to sleep :D
