Halloween exchange Sent/Received thread ***COMPLETE*** Thanks everyone!

I mailed my exchange gift today! I paid a little extra for shipping so it could arrive in 2-3 days instead of 6-8 days. Note to self (and you girls) DON'T BUY PACKING TAPE OR BOX AT THE USPO! They are crazy for wanting $3.28 + tax for a roll of tape! I don't know where else to go for boxes though but the office over here charged me nearly $2 for it. The shipping itself wasn't too bad.

As for staying on budget...well, I stayed in the vicinity :rolleyes1
But in all seriousness, I didn't go overboard but shopping on a budget is so hard in general but throw in cute Halloween things and it's doubly hard!

I really hope my exchange pal likes their stuff. I also hope they like it enough to post a picture on the thread.

I'm excited to get mine! :woohoo:
 
I know Trudi. I ALMOST got them for you but I figured I would stick to what you said. Didn't want to step on toes. You know how it goes. I SOOOO thought it would prob be ok but then I thought just my luck you would not like it for some weird reason so I figured better safe than sorry! ;)

But I REALLY wanted to get them for you! I should have and just went for it LOL. But now you know about them so you can go get them! :) Have fun baking!! Show us the finished product!

I will show the finished product !

I usually ship Priority mail. The boxes come in different sizes and are free. Also Priority is a set price per box not weight, so you can cram as much into a box as you want, even heavy items and it's the same price. And I usually get delivery confirmation. It's only a bit more, like a dollar or something, and it's nice to be able to track the package.
Thanks for posting yours was sent! :thumbsup2


I will show the finished product !
I can't wait to see it. :)
 

I am almost done with my package...just one quick trip to the Disney Store tomorrow and I should be ready to send. I'll let you know when it goes out Beth :)

Sounds good. :thumbsup2

I think I am done too. I just need to get a box for it. One of the items is breakable so I want to make sure I package it properly.

Hope everyone else is doing great with their shopping. :)
 
They have Twilight candy!!? Where?! I'd eat all the Jacob's too!

Okay, so I ordered and shipped half of my package directly to my girl. The rest of the shopping I will do this week and ship out before Friday!
 
Okay, so Tina got my little package already, and I sent my kid package out the same day, the adult the next. I want them to get there and hear what the receipients thought of their goodies.

Did I mention, I want to hear....well...now!!!

Okay, I will simmer down and wait. hate it.
 
LOL Amy. I am the same way. I don't know which I get more excited over; getting my goodies or hearing what my person thinks of their package. :goodvibes






Morning exchangers!! Hope you all had a great weekend. :hippie:
 
I'm not sure if my exchange buddy will post on this thread :sad2:
Beth, do you know if they will? :confused3

I'm also impatient!
 
I've messed up my first gift exchange:eek:

I was so worried about what to buy and then getting it sent out on time that I was a little scatter brained. I forget to include the card I bought to go with it, which I now can't find so if you get a package in 2 days with either no card or a card in it that isn't signed it's from me!
The return address is Angie in Mission, BC

Sorry:flower3:
 
I read online that Walgreen's is supposed to sell bags of it for $2.99. We went to 3 different Walgreen's and couldn't find it. :confused3

Yes, I found the candy at Walgreens. Maybe they sold out already. The Jacob's are peanut butter filled and were so good ! They are made by Skybar.
 
My package was mailed out today :woohoo:. It should arrive in 2-3 days. I hope my Diva likes it and will post pictures. This was my first exchange and I really had fun shopping !
 
They have Twilight candy??? I can see DD9 and I fighting over Jacob, DD13 can have Edward. LOL I have to look for that......

I don't think she will, but a certain someone will post for them. Don't worry. ;)

I've done that, forgotten to include a card. I'm sure it will be fine. Don't worry.
And if anyone gets a package and they are not sure who it's from, feel free to PM me and ask. I have all the info and will happily let you know who your exchange buddy was.

I called one of the nearby Walgreens and they said they only got them in individual sizes, not the bags and they were sold out almost right away!! :eek:

:cool1::cool1: Michaela got the package today from Amy Sue and her daughter, Claire! THANK YOU! :woohoo: She loved it!
Included was a Halloween cookbook, a blow-up spider and pumpkin, a pumpkin necklace, pumpkin lollipop, an adorable stuffed ghost, and a white t-shirt with a tie dye kit! I am probably missing something - she promptly took all her stuff to her room so her brothers wouldn't get to it! :laughing:
She just LOVED getting a package all for herself! :yay:

BTW - Michaela and I are almost done with her package. I hopefully will be able to mail it out on Wednesday or Thursday! :)
