Normally i would just be like, whatever, but i put thought into this gift and paid a little over the price, and put the reciept in there in case they already had it.

Do they know that YOU got them the gift? It is SECRET Santa and the names haven't been revealed yet.

Just because they haven't posted in this thread doesn't mean they don't intend to thank you.

I dont think he's looking for an all out "thank you mpitts" just yet.

i think he's looking for his SS to just take a moment and post in the thread something along the lines of "thanks SS, really enjoyed the gift". you can show your gratitude for the gift without having to specifically say who.

Are you kidding? Getting is MUCH better than giving :D:p

Thanks again for the present SS! My wife walked in and saw the gift and rolled her eyes. Going to make her play it with me right now :p:D:D

Just used my gift tonight! Two free admissions passes to AMC theaters. Went to a nice dinner at Mongolian Barbeque and then went to see Fun With Dick and Jane. Good laughs are priceless!

:thumbsup: to my Secret Santa.

And I'm sending my gift out to my giftee on Monday, along with a note with many many apologies for being so late. Working at a new job and moving into a new apartment and having cars fixed, oy! But I shall make up for my horrible tardiness with cool goodies!

So if you haven't gotten your gift yet, I'm probably your Secret Santa :p List will be posted tomorrow, so you'll know who to blame.
