shockponie I think I'm gonna do a flat rate box. It came out cheaper for me. But I am not sure. The box is looking a little bloated.

That might be the best option. It's like 15-16 dollars for a large flat rate. I wonder if that will fit everything I have.

I wish Canada had flat rate boxes. I'm almost scared to see how much my parcel will cost to ship. At least I'm not a starving student anymore.

Got another extra. Got to start working on getting the box on shape.

I'm still waiting on stuff to come in the mail and will buy the rest of it tomorrow. Then I just need to wrap everything and put a teaser together and send it off.

Probably not up to date with questions lol can't keep up

i've got everything laid out on the table to start wrapping... gleef. i have alot more than i thought.
sorry partner. got a few things that are really teeny. debating how to wrap those. each individually, inside 10 boxes each getting bigger. or all together. oh the choices we make.
gonna wrap everything. (cept the decorating extra) so partner. you have to figure out what the swap part is and what the extra part is. Good luck.

Ahhhh! lightbulb went out. can't find last few things. grrr.

oh question. coloring book. annoying or fun?

I'm analyzing what I have and trying to debate on whether or not I want to buy anymore stuff from the wishlist or not. I've already crested the $40 mark by a little bit. I want to get one more item but I'm scared it won't be here by the deadline. I mean, it probably will, but I'm also worried about shipping prices.
I'm just wondering if five items from the wishlist is okay. :/ One is a "big" item too.

Well, whatever I do, I am going to start shopping for extras on Friday when I get paid.

the pretty gold "paper" i grabbed for wrapping.. yeah its transparent basket wrap.
not great for spoilers.

tikibirds · « **Reply #1732 on:** March 06, 2013, 05:04:14 AM »

Everybody has either checked in or been posting frequently

I've been trying to grab things that are not heavy and small since one package is going international but yeah, so not gonna happen.

The $25 is pretty much done, once I get the items I traded for

I need to get another thing or 2 for the $40

and wrapping paper. and some extras - are there any candies that are USA exclusive?

Stealin these questions from the sticker swap..

What kinds of items would you like to see as extras? gummy candy, chews for the dog - he also "collects" beanie babies. There is a city of them living under my bed

, maybe some pony accessories like clothing or floats?

Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting? yup

Do you have any hobbies? I suppose my fish are my hobby. I can also crochet and customize ponies

Do you do any arts or crafts, and would you like to see some supplies in your box? I can alway use more hair, bait G1 ponies - perferably without any hair, those baby fakies from some dollar store

I'm still waiting on my GST cheque to come in the mail for this month, that's going towards extras and shipping

then I have to gather up all my info to do taxes for this year

Dragonflitter · « **Reply #1734 on:** March 06, 2013, 06:53:47 AM »

Yay we're getting closer and closer all the time! I can't wait to see new teasers.

I'm wrapping everythign, including my extras, with the exception of a few little extras I can't wrap because they're very thin and floppy, I would be afraid of someone accidentally tearing them when trying to open the wrapping. But I'll leave them out of the teaser pic I take, so there's no spoilers.

Kaeldre · « **Reply #1735 on:** March 06, 2013, 07:17:02 AM »

Just about done. Gonna get my last few items when I get paid this week and see about finding a box. I realized my shoebox idea wasn't going to work. ^^'

CrazyCatLady · « **Reply #1736 on:** March 06, 2013, 08:04:47 AM »

Waiting for one more thing for each partner but I'm going to start wrapping. I have one thing I have to exchange at Target on my way to work this afternoon (silly bazillion hour delay because
of 3 inches of snow). Still need a few extras, but the bulk of my shopping is done!

Coloring books-not really into them unless I'm sitting with a 3 year old.
Would things like interesting stationary or pens/pencils be interesting? I love pens, pretty note paper and blank cards with envelopes.

little.fox · « **Reply #1737 on:** March 06, 2013, 01:01:44 PM »

Today was Christmas at our house! The bulk of my partners gifts arrived, plus three parcels for myself!

Just waiting for one last thing, can't wait to start wrapping!

tikibirds · « **Reply #1738 on:** March 06, 2013, 01:31:32 PM »

And I am done with the $25 swap partner. I'm pretty sure its WAY over the budget as the 2 items I traded to get are like $20 a pop on ebay. Plus the other stuff I already got.

Now to finish off the $40 package...

karrie91 · « **Reply #1739 on:** March 06, 2013, 02:07:46 PM »

I'm pretty sure shipping for me is gonna be EXPENSIVE lol. I'm not too worried about it. I got some cash stashed away for this.

Can't decide if I wanna get a few last minute items. I'm already over budget but.. I don't know lol I just feel like I could do more.
