Since we have one thread for sign-ups and one thread for wish lists this thread will be for anything and everything else that is Stashmas Related! If you have any questions or concerns this is the place to ask them. Also feel free at any time to contact either me or Debby (fccs) with a pm if you need to. Also remember that we have the Stashmas FAQs if you want more general information about our special forum event.

Just a tip for Stashmas participants sending abroad (especially trans-ocean) - I have in the past purchased things from a shop in the recipient's country and asked them to send it straight to the recipient, without an invoice in it and somehow marked "Stashmas" or "1st December" on the outside. This saves money as well as carbon footprint! And I have found most needlework shops very helpful if you contact them in advance, and happy to co-operate with the Stashmas initiative.
You may have to let your recipient know to expect a parcel from that particular shop :-) !

Great idea! The postage can be more than the gift itself!

I think I've made a mistake and mistook the sign up list for the sender list! I thought Debby was my sender and I was sending to Serinde so have sent them both pms with my address. I 'm just so keen to get started :doh: I apologise :tizzy:

No problem I’m sure. Send list will be posted this afternoon EDT so probably early evening for y’all.

You have a week to get the address of your recipient. Check their wish lists and have fun!!!
If you have any questions or concerns you can post them here or send Debby (fccs) or me (rcperryls) a pm. If I left someone off or made a mistake about where you prefer to send, please let us know asap. We double check but alas, mistakes can happen and we will fix them asap.

My parcel to CuriousKitty is ready to be posted to the US. Do you recommend posting recorded delivery (meaning "To sign for") or do I just need a proof of posting?
Thank you :)

I just get the receipt from the post office and that is enough. As far as I know, no gifts have gotten lost in the mail and there is usually a tracking number also. On our side I think that only works till it crosses the big pond, but I'm not sure. Have never required a signature.

Thank you, Carole. I posted CuriousKitty's Stashmas parcel this morning and the post office gave me a proof of posting. :)

This is just a reminder that there are three days left to get your Stashmas gifts in the mail. :airplane:

And soon it will be Stashmas day.
