We have not received a SS gift, either...and our recipient has not, I don't think. I sent it almost 2 weeks ago. :(

dude....just show her my sexy picture, and tell her I'm nice......she won't be able to resist beng assimilated

I haven't recieved my gift, and I know my giftee hasn't recieved theirs either after reading this thread.

I haven't received mine. But I know my giftee got theres:P Which is pleasing except for the fact customs opened it up and spilled juice all over the label lol.

What she said, as edited here.

eek! thanks for correcting. I was writing that in a rush!

Nonononononono I wasn't being the speeling police, simply that my parcel to my recipient hadn't been opened by customs ...

You should be getting it soon, Limey. If not, please let me know so I can go postal...on my post office. Hm. That doesn't sound right, does it?

Okay, all the way from Texas, although my Santa may have gone South of the border to purchase it.

Firstly, the undamaged box, which nevertheless terrified me by having a FRAGILE sticker on it.
But as you can see in the second photo it was securely packed and protected and so arrived in great condition.

The wrapped present (although I rummaged in the packing for a while, just in case). Inside the wrapping was a box. I took a picture of the box and of the box open with the gifts inside, but I think the next logical step would be to simply show the prizes.

The first part of the gift - 5 (count them! 5!) doilies. Different sizes, shapes and colours and they look and feel very high quality. My Mum is eyeing them up already.

And even more unexpectedly - a gourd. According to the customs information, it is an antique Mexican gourd. It's very delicate and painted beautifully in pastal colours.

The top is obviously hand-cut so it only fits if you put it on in exactly the right spot. It's so unusual and eye-catching.

I know my SS must have gone to a lot of time and trouble to buy and send my present. I think I know who it is, but I'll wait and see if she wants to reveal herself. Can I just say a huge thank you for the effort you went to - I am overwhelmed by your generosity and the care you took sending it!

Cool! I LOVE gourds! Great prizes, SG!

I got mine! I guess I checked the mail too early, yesterday, so today, it was in there. It's really neat and I can't wait to show you all what it is! And I still don't know who it is from. :) Pictures to follow soon.

well, yes. But I wanted you to know it's on it's way since you live waaaaaaaaaaaaay over there from me! (besides, I had to fill out the custom's thing-y which blows the surprise)
