Ditto, dambit!

I need some help with this gift!

PM me and I'll send you the less than helpful likes/dislikes I got from this recipient. I don't want to give a gift cart or gift certificate if I can avoid it.

 

[msi1337]

my gift will be here for my SS tomorrow. Guess he/she will get it early!

sorry to whoever has me for not being detailed in my likes/dislikes! I like suprises!

 

[Brainonska511]

The gift for my SS is in transit to my house, but I won't be home for winter break till Saturday. Hopefully, if the shipping doesn't screw up, I'll have everything out on Monday.

 

[UNCjigga]

Ughh, $12 was the cheapest shipping option they had. I hope they like it...they better! Actually, I better get something good too (but I did a bad job of filling out my likes/dislikes so I probably won't).

So Secret Santas, how's your shopping going??

 

[FoBoT]

i just read my email a few minutes ago
i searched some threads and found a link the person posted to a site where the person buys stuff

so i am thinking Gift Certificate

that is ok isn't it?

 

[CtK]

i think i kno wat im gonna give but just havent bought it yet and im gonna ship closer to xmas

 

[Patt]

I haven't shipped yet

 

[UNCjigga]

Yeah I wish the store I bought from had an option to schedule shipping so I could get it there closer to Christmas, but they don't.

Also, I don't wanna take chances since one year my recipient didn't get there gift until after Xmas and he was pretty pissed.

 

[MotionMan]

My person gave no indication whatsoever of his/her likes or dislikes, so he/she's getting a gift card. Cheap shipping, too.

I spent a good amount of time filling out my likes and dislikes, providing a pretty good idea of the lind of person I am, and a lot of different categories to choose from. I hope others do the same next year.

gift cert should be the last resort if you have absolutely no idea what your recipent wants. I wouldn't want my SS send me a gift cert. it is worst than cash because i can only spend in it one particular store.

 

[FoBoT]

crap, i was thinking that, but the 'likes' is going to be hard to figure out

 

[Rage187]

no GC... that just shows you put no thought into it.

 

[buck]

I guess thats better than forgeting to ship it, eh OP?

[Slew Foot]

Amazon prime FTW!

not true. i wanted to get my SS a hoodie from a particular place. unfortunately i don't know the size of the recipient. i would rather play it safe instead of getting him/her a hoodie that might insult them. i hope my SS likes a gift card.

[Quasmo]

Why didn't you guys ship it to their address?

 

[AdamSnow]

I almost don't want to open it cause I love how it's wrapped! Not opening until Christmas Eve... Can't wait to get inside... Thanks SS!!!!!!!!

My person had a specific site listed in his likes, so but I don't know what he would like from there, so I might go the Gift Cert route also.

You could go the other way with the size to flatter him/her.

 

[AStar617]

I had to spend exactly $12 on shipping too. Of course, my SS gift came from overseas.

Out of curiosity, what was the consensus, $20 shipped on the gifts at least?
