My stashmas gift is travelling far far way where it will go only I know.

I had to send part of my Stashmas gift by email, and part was sent directly by the shop, so I fear my recipient didn't really have a choice...
As for myself, I don't think I've got the willpower to wait until the first should it arrive earlier !

Nope. I'll wait. I think. Possibly.

Just wrapped mine, will be sending it out tomorrow, hope they like it.


i dont think i'll be able to wait either hehe xx were doomed

I have mine ready but it is probably a bit too early to send it yet if Stashmas isn't supposed to be until 1st Dec. The suspense is killing me!! I hope that they will like it, I tried to research my person as best as possible.

In previous years we've always said open them when you get them and post lots of pictures so everyone can share in the new-stash joy! If you want to wait until 1st December of course no-one will stop you I'll start up a new thread so people can mark off when they've sent and received so it'll be easy to keep a track of everything.

*giggles* I know something someone doesn't know...

Now... it needs to hurry up and get here.

I send it today!!! I'm so nervous! Does my recipient love it?

I planning to wait with opening BUT.... SO.... HARD.

OK folks, the "sent/received" list thread is up here, I've tried to mark off everyone who has said in this thread that they've sent, if I've missed you off then I'm sorry, didn't mean to, and please add yourself on

I'm posting mine out Friday. I could have done it earlier but I had other packages and I only wanted to go to the post office once.

Probably a silly question but do we actually wrap up the gifts?

Mine will go in the post tomorrow (Friday).

That is entirely up to you. If you want to, go to it, if you don't, no-one will think any the less of you for it.

Im just waiting for the last bits to arrive then mine will be sent out im very excited xx

I've just had a wonderful time buying my stashmas bits...one or two bits may have "accidentally" fallen in to my online cart for myself and even a little extra bit for my nephew for Christmas...it made sense really because this way I only pay for postage once instead of paying again later so I could probably almost justify that even to my dearly beloved who would roll his eyes and say "yes dear" in that ever so eloquent way he has! Just need to work out what to add in as a personal bit. I'm thinking of going in to town at the weekend and getting a nice local postcard or two.

Mine's almost ready to go - just finishing stitching a little ornament ot go in with it... Hope my recipient likes her gift.

Oooooooooooooooooo I got a parcel from the postman I think its my Stashmas present as its all wrapped up in xmas paper!!! Im so excited I seriously doubt I can contain my excitement and not open it, are we allowed to open them, or are we waiting......... Im praying that we can open them

I think we're allowed to open them, and show off to everyone what lovely stash you got in the Show Your Stashmas Gift thread !(not sure what it's actually called but there is a thread for showing presents, I know that)

*starts chanting*

Open it! Open it! Open it!

And when you do, feel free to share pictures with us all!
