Anyone care to share some suggestions for what you might *not* really care for in this?

Strange, mine is Mary, but it just says to send cash.

It may be too late for this, but if the person that got me is in need of ideas I put together an Amazon wishlist - http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishl ... SSH9UVCIL4

They have a thing for your browser - in Firefox you just add it as a bookmark to the bookmark toolbar - that lets you add any item from anywhere on the internet.

I was putting it together for myself for stuff I want as well as for family for xmas, and thought I might as well post it here. I actually feel a little silly that I didn't think of it sooner; it would have probably been good for anyone/everyone here.

If you drew someone with similar tastes to mine then maybe it can give you ideas for that person, too :) However, if you buy the last of something I really want then I WILL find out who you are and hunt you down!

You know, i've been wondering this for a bit, at what point do we let it known who our SS is? Like mailing it would have our return addresses on it.

Yeah, I guess they will know when the package arrives.
No way around that really.
But not telling each other who got who, will still be fun.
And of course NOT OPENING till Christmas day!!

Loved your list idea ABx.

I thought I remember people finding out relatively early on last year.. didn't people give each other tracking numbers or something? What did you guys do last year?

Excitement is building, Batman!
I received a mystery package today from Japan's finest, and plan to ship to my SS tomorrow AM. Love it when a plan comes together.
