I just "wrapped" mine in a very manly fashion. Woof it's a rough job, but I'm a bachelor.
What happens if your ‘recipient’ hasn’t logged on in almost two weeks, and his SS package was delivered last week??lol
The Bulgarian post and DHL refused to ship my package since it contained tobacco. Thankfully, I had a backup plan. My recipient should receive their package in the next week.
I’m disappointed they won’t get the amazingly wrapped (thanks to my wife) gifts I had prepared but I think they will still enjoy what they receive. I was excited to give them an ashtray done in the traditional Bulgarian pottery style. Anyways, my kids had fun unwrapping everything.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing might/would happen here too. So I cheated and used SP.
I'm kinda disappointed that I didn't send the package selected and wrapped by my own
Yeah, it’s a bummer but I’m thankful there is still a way to participate despite the setback.
That's a cool looking ashtray!
My unsuspecting victim should have received theirs yesterday!
Well, I'm back from an extended trip to Florida and I found that my lovely wife had picked up my SS package at the post office last week! I was blown away by the gifts bestowed upon me by my Secret Santa! I tried to take a picture and upload it here but it says the file is too big (I'm not good with technology). So, just to let you all know the level of generosity that I received:
-4 aged tins of Ten Russians, Regents Flake, Embarcadero, and Maltese Falcon
-2016 Ol' Limey Bastard
-2018 Black XX Kendal Twist
-G&H Rum Flake
I am really looking forward to trying all of these blends. Maltese Falcon is the only one I've previously had and it is truly one of my favorites.
Santa, thank you so much! Now that I'm finally back in town, my package is shipping out today! Hopefully it arrives quickly!

Says my package will get delivered by 9 PM tonight!
My SS package was delivered yesterday according to USPS.
Mine was delivered Friday, Dec 3rd, according to the tracking. My recipient has posted to the forum every day since, but has not mentioned it. I hope I had the address right and his neighbor isn't smoking the unobtainium I sent...
They might be one of those psychopaths who actually wait until the big day
That sugary stuff in that ancient tin you sent him a sample of was mold? Your home blend of Captain Grape and Kaiser’s Kiester wasn’t a hit?
I feel bad for not having shipped. The order of things I bought for my giftee has not yet arrived. I am getting irked at (Fill in the blank shipping company). It is in the process though. It will be sent out by Monday to get it there in time. I may need to sweeten the box a bit due to the delay.
No reason to feel bad! Ship when you ship. It gets there before Christmas (and you've built in slack for postal snafus) you're good. It's not a race, some like to ship sooner than later for various reasons, which is terrific (I got mine already, lol, but my "intended" will likely not have the package until end of next week) and some like to mull it over a bit. Different strokes.
