Meeee too!!!! I love stuff like this! My family has just started to do a Secret Santa, because we have SO many people in my family. I just got my "elf" today, its my brother. But hes no fun, he just wants gift cards!
As far as when Id like to receive my package: Well I really dont care, but close to Christmas. Whatevers easier! I plan on sending mine like the first or second week in December.
Can we tell our elf who we are when we send the package? or does that still ruin the fun??

Whooo! Too funny. Last year I had my sister, she was easy (girls usually are) My mom made up a little questionnaire, and for "Things you like to do in ur spare time" my brother put "Chill really hard"
I love my family.

And I want my stuff NOW!! J/K. I don't care when I get it, but before Christmas would be nice. Let's remember that postal service will be crazy beginning (probably) right after Thanksgiving. So the packages will take a little longer than usual to arrive. Plan accordingly. I'm trying to buy/put together all of my elf's stuff by Thanksgiving. I'll try to mail it out Dec 1st.... which really means like December 10th in my world.

Hey guys-
In the original post I asked everyone to please send their gifts before the holiday season is over. That means before the end of December (personally I think the best time to send would be late November if you're shipping internationally to early December if you're shipping locally).
If you are going out of town, or have some other reason that you might need your gift a little early, PM me and I'll let your Secret Santa know.
Thanks!

Thats too cute haha!
I'll probably send mine near the end of November, I'm kind of a keener like that! haha
I was also wondering the same thing as CantAffordMAC as to when we can let our elf know who their Santa is! Or do we not tell them at all, and itll remain a mystery? Hmm

Personnaly, I won't tell
I'll ask the person to send me a pm to tell me he/she received everything
I'm excited to do this because in my family we don't do Secret Santas. They aren't very rich so they keep the money they can put on gift for their close related.
As for me, I always give them a little something anyway, this year I'm going to cook something, maybe a jam or a limoncello, I don't know yet.

Not sure ...thats cutting it close because you have to allow for Sundays and the 2 holiday dates that mail does not deliver on...So that gives it only @6-7 business days to arrive...and mail is slower during the holiday months.
