Final Secret Santa thread - Page 2

Gotta go sometime this week. I think what I'll do is put a $20 bill in my pocket, and leave my wallet, with all the plastic, at home, where the monkey can't get to it.

BigBassin144 · 07-05-11, 01:01 AM

My TW order, which included probably 3/4 of my budget somehow ended up being a $65 order...

I think you are lying to yourself again. These meager attempts only lead to wasting gas. You see it and gotta have it, then you sneak back home get the wallet and have to go back for the goods. BOC tells you, don't fear the reaper.

My package arrived today! It's going to be tough waiting 2 weeks to open it!

islandbass · 07-05-11, 04:00 PM

I'm still putting my package together, and I might make a lure or two myself.

keithdog · 07-07-11, 07:20 AM

I'm planning on getting over to BPS in the next couple of days to get my Santa gift rounded out and sent out.

everettvet · 07-08-11, 02:53 AM

Santa gifts are purchased. I went a little over budget. I have to divide up the goodies a little. I do have to say that I am a little nervous about my selection. I realize that this is suppose to be fun but I thought it was a little stressful.

I hear ya!!! What I tried to do was buy something that I used and had success with and then something I would like to try but thought the price was crazy so I wouldn.t buy it for myself.
I have shipped mine.

BigBassin144 · 07-08-11, 08:35 AM

Don't worry guys, I think a lot of us went over the $20 mark. I guess it is kind of a set minimum so nobody gets cheated, but I think we're all generous enough anyways.

I'm waiting on the majority of my stuff to get here from TW on Monday. Should have it shipped Tuesday. And I check my mailbox everyday now since Joe got his already.

Like I said last time, buying for myself is easy. If something I get for myself doesn't catch any fish, ok fine....lesson learned. But trying to get something new and/or interesting that will be useful to someone else in a different part of the country is a whole different ballgame. But the monkey helps....

Jrob78 · 07-08-11, 09:24 AM

I went over $20 as well and that was with the sales. I agree with Anthony, the limit was really more of a minimum. Hopefully my packages from TW and BTD will arrive today. I will get my stuff sent out this afternoon or Monday.

You guys are definitely right about it being stressful, in a fun way. I am really hoping I got my person some things they can use.

bcklash · 07-08-11, 09:42 AM

Just don't send Bubba a wave spinning reel.

Jrob78 · 07-11-11, 10:03 AM

Just a reminder to everyone, please try to get your gifts shipped by Friday.

Bubba_Bruiser · 07-11-11, 11:13 AM

The epic spinning reel hahahaha. May it live on like the charlie brown spot in JBs tattoo thread a few years ago.

BigBassin144 · 07-11-11, 08:23 PM

My box finally arrived from TW today. I was very impressed with the looks of one of the lures for my recipient and might end up ordering one for myself. I will get everything shipped out tomorrow if I'm not working, but definitely by Friday.

I also took my LC Gunfish out to the pond this evening and am already loving it.

keithdog · 07-11-11, 10:08 PM

I was able to get mine shipped after work today. I couldn't believe it when I arrived at the post office to see the line of people lined up out the door!!!

But it was worth the wait. I just hope the recipient enjoys what I sent them.

MIbasser · 07-12-11, 02:17 PM

Mine went out today.... to some place. I hope they like it, if not please send it back and I'll try again.

I'm sure I will. Thanks guys.

rrw4258 · 07-13-11, 10:06 PM

I got mine shipped out this morning... and also received mine this afternoon... How long do we have to wait to open these things... the suspense is killing me!

Ryan

BigBassin144 · 07-13-11, 10:08 PM

I guess we're just gonna wait until everyone gets theirs. I haven't received mine yet.

I haven't gotten my out yet either. It's all ready to go though; I'll probably hit the post office during my lunch break or after work tomorrow.

carolina-rig-01 · 07-14-11, 01:28 AM

My package went out yesterday.

Bubba_Bruiser · 07-14-11, 11:38 AM

Going to the PO this morning, hopefully not disgruntled.

BigBassin144 · 07-14-11, 05:09 PM

Mine shipped today. Hope my recipient like it. If they don't, I'm not admitting it was from me!

BB

carolina-rig-01 · 07-15-11, 10:17 PM

I got mine in the mail today. Can I open it? Huh? Huh? Can I? Please?

MississippiBoy · 07-15-11, 11:16 PM

I've been staring at mine for probably about a week now...if I have to wait, so do you.
