Now that we have a list...we should all send everyone on it a bottle of scotch. After we get that, THEN we should go shopping.

The cashier at Wal*Mart looked at me kind of funny when I bought 28 cans of Barbasol

just kidding

Gentlemen,

A week has passed since I sent you your targets for the gift exchange. I hope you've all had a chance to do some research and begin shopping!

KC_Dave · Post by **KC_Dave** » Fri Jun 02, 2006 4:38 pm

I'm shipping my targeted recipient’s gift either tomorrow or Monday.

Research?... I don't need no stinking research

All kidding aside, I tried to find something very unique and fun.

One small detail that I thought of while shopping is that it might be a bad idea to send any soaps that might melt this time of year

You're a quick one.

It's nice to hear that this event is underway!

Just received word that the final item I'm including in the package is currently making its way to me via UPS, and is due to arrive by Friday. I just hope the onion & garlic scented shaving cream ("the rich, luxurious cream of England's finest shaving products, combined with the enticing aroma of a warm, Sunday morning Everything Bagel, fresh from Saul's Deli") isn't adversely affected by the heat.

So tell me, why is it that I can have a 4th of July shaving surprise gift package ready to go by early June, yet I never seem to get squared away on Christmas presents without making a desperate visit to the shopping mall on the afternoon of December 24th?

Because you have your priorities straight!

Speaking of which, I just ordered some of the goods that will be going to my victim.

Purchase has been finalised. Now do we go for the manly wrapping? (Sports page and duct tape) Or do we go the fru fru way? Useless bag with crappy rope handles and shreaded crap in it? Hmmmm I will ponder this while the intended twists in the wind! Or maybe I will just drop it in the mail tomorrow or Friday so they get it soon.

I'm guessing the return address on the outside of the package would be a dead giveaway.

Wow! The stuff I ordered Wednesday showed up on my doorstep on Thursday! I'm putting the package together now and will send soon.

It'd be nice to keep that information quiet -- just for the sake of fun. You Feel free to put your screen name and/or real name in the package.

Well, I lied, had a rough week and didn't ship the gift until today.

This should be fun!
