I do it every single time. :rolleyes1: I load boxes and get so eager to seal them and get them off that I don't include any notes, cards or anything. If someone doesn't read the return addy on the box they would be clueless. But I have a large flat-rate box all sealed and I am not going to rip through  that expensive tape to add anything. :smileyNo:
So, to my gift person:
"In this box is a bunch of little items that I already had laying around. I had your main item sent direct from a mail order.
I stop and grab up stuff all year long to fill in corners for my gardening friends. I love sales and deals so nothing was very pricey. Some have specific names attached to them and others are up for grabs. So one item in here was purchased with you on my mind and I planned on attaching a note, because it is such a cheap junky item but the graphics were spot on. Maybe you can make something else out of it. Everything else is just fun stuff. If you have half as much fun opening it as I did packing it in then it will have been worth it all."
Please refer back to this little letter when your box arrives. I plan on shipping it off tomorrow, priority.

When everyone gets their direct sent stuff they'll have to come here and ask who their friend is.  My friend may be able to figure it out without asking though.

I ordered an online direct gift for Adrian's baby shower that should have  had a card and a note and I think I remember correctly that the package did not have it so I don't put a lot of stock in them doing that.

I've got to get the rest of my stuff in the mail.  I have my book club tonight so it will probably be tomorrow or Thursday before it gets mailed out.

And I am tracking my packages as they make their way to their destination. They have passed through the nearest big city closest to my person's home town. Maybe tomorrow? Friday for sure!

And they are supposed to be out by the 15th so everyone has time.
I just panic if I have a deadline. I am an early person and will get physically ill if I am late. That is good for most things but not the best thing for my guts if I am delayed..

That's not good, Tina.  I don't care to be late either.  James is not a punctual person and it drives me crazy.

I really found shopping for my person difficult. I wanted that 'one thing' that jumped out at me and said her name. I don't feel I ever really found it. But I've seen several things since I sent off her packages that would fit her garden style.

The big bird seeds are sunflowers...I have a place in mind. The nemo is the ice pack. Isn't he cute?  :dancingbunny:
