I put mine in a flat rate priority mail box because I thought it might be a little heavy....
I am just so bogged down studying... I am going to drop it off at the PO today though!!!

i'm sending locker coffee
again... this year.
shipping advice. go with Priority Flat Rate. Go to the post office in the middle of the night and use their machines. Avoid the lines. Avoid going postal (and I don't mean postal service ;-).

I just sent mine.
I didn't put my name on it, but on the other hand the only thing I had to pack it with was crumpled up paper from my recycling basket - the majority of which was my old scribbled notes which are kind of a giveaway if you know what I'm doing with my life right now.
In retrospect, I think I padded it poorly and should have crumpled up paper on the underside of the present in the box, so I hope it's in one piece when it arrives... I am sick, and stressed from 5 exams tomorrow, and rushing... and now I'm all anxious about it :/

I got mine and opened it thinking it was a gift from my Aunt J.
I'll explain later. I didn't see the "taco Santa" until later after I was puzzled.
I think I know who sent my most awesome gifts. A couple are priceless, and the others refelect some deep understanding of me and are very well received. That is why I think I know who sent them.
Wow! Merry Christmas everybody!
Tony, I hope you like your gift. I don't know you so well, but I cruised some of your post and thought you'd like what I sent.
Super Taco kicks ass, again!!!!!
Tony, if my gift was inappropriate, I'll pay for return shipping and score you something even better. But what I sent you is a classic.....

Mine went out to Georgia today. It was something that meant a lot to me. I hope they love it. I find it very cool in itself in mailing to an unknown recipient who you can bring joy to and hopefully share a rope with some day, or not.

Thanks Steve. That means a lot and I appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you and yours. And hopefully we will get a chance to rope up in the new year...
I am actually moving back to Yosemite in January so...

Awww, I just realized that I should have put a "good for a free night at the bivy" card in my box so if my recipient ever finds him/herself in my neck of the woods climbing they'd have a place to stay. booo!!

Aya, I wouldn't worry a bit about not including a card stating such. As much shyte as is given and received here, I would guess that that sentiment - at least the offer of sincere local tips/info and/or a belay - is echoed by the majority of us out here in TacoLand.
Merry Holidays to all!

Here is a photo of the excellent gift sent by my Secret Santa, an intriguing looking bottle of homemade wine.
I posed it in front of the Christmas tree, but now it's going to go get cozy (well, as cozy as you can get at 50 degrees) with some wine siblings. Santa told me to wait to open it until the Spring!
Happy Holidays everyone!

Thanks for the offer socialclimber. I love the Pinns (I guess I am a masochist) and my first true trad leads almost 10 years ago were Swallow and Portent. And my first trad bail was Rat Race. haha
Finally went back to finish off Rat Race earlier this year. Piece 'o cake... =)
