If you get a present from overseas PLEASE do not look at the customs list which has everything on it.  That will ruin it for you.

I mailed to Ireland last year and tried to be as vague as possible while still being truthful.
If Darth ever gets her hands on me I am in big trouble. I sent a squeaky toy for Dougal in the package.  Who would have thought that would be dangerous? (for me)  :rofl;

Oh yes, Marc... I'm STILL gunning for you!... A squeaky toy for Dougal... Now Folks, Dougal never bothered with squeaky toys before, but for some strange reason, he took a huge liking to this cuddly, squeaky elephant!... Squeak, squeak, flipping squeak... What's not to love!... Particularly when he decides it's time to squeak at 1am!... And just for good measure Mum's saying 'It's beginning to look a bit worn, we'll have to look for a similar toy'... I've been 'forgetting' to go looking!.... Marc, if I ever get my hands on you, that blasted toy's being shoved up your, erm, left nostril!.... :rofl;

Yes Folks, be vague... Don't exactly lie, but be a bit 'economical' with the truth!.....

Only thirty days to Christmas!!!...

Love to all....

Whoever has Darth as their Secret Santa PM me if you dare.  I can tell you where to pick up a great toy for Dougal.  Just make sure there is at least 1 ocean between you and Darth.  :cuddle;

Marc.... Have you forgotten about those big metal things called aeroplanes???... We have them here too!..... Remember, I might get Mum into Respite and get to the next IHD meet!!!!!!..... And if I do, as God is my witness, kidney failure will be the least of your problems!...

Let me at him!!!!!!..... :rofl;

Well unless you were wearing gloves and a mask when you wrapped those gifts, your DNA will be all over them!!!!!.... Well maybe Dougal's drool will have distorted the evidence on the toy.... Now to have a chat with a friend who's a forensic scientist!.... Marc, your past may be about to catch up with you... Painfully!....  :rofl;

OK! I, too, have encountered some issues. Nothing catastrophic, but I am having to rethink a bit and have given myself a strict deadline to ensure that my person receives the package on time.

Above all else, Santa must be reliable, and this Santa takes her work seriously.  :secret; (*....but in a fun way*)
Ho Ho Ho and all that

Ouch!!!!!... You poor thing!.....

All I can say is if you're Mum's or my SS, don't worry one bit about a gift...

There are far more important things in life!.....

Get well soon...

Darth....

P.S.... Besides, you might do what Richard suggests and send a flipping squeaky toy for the smutt!...  :rofl;
