I have 1/3 of mine.
Or maybe a 1/4, depends on postal prices.
Not even thinking of posting (mailing for your furriners) until December though.

The fact that I have to list the contents on the customs form AND provide my name and address means I'd rather stay secret for as long as possible - it's the only surprise my recipient will get!

I had my gift shipped on Saturday. It should arrive at my SS in a few more days.

you don't have to be terribly specific. "novelty gift" works well.

Really? Okay then.
The first gift I received from the States was very specific on the Customs form, so being a very law abiding type, I've always done the same myself.

Actually, two parcels of books I sent to Kenya were opened by Customs, so I was glad they had exactly what was stated on the form.

I may be a little less specific then. Reckon I'll get away with "recreational narcotics" for cocaine?

Tulip, if you're here next year you more than qualify!

Although the original use was for pain control, I think cocaine is a "recreational stimulant."

I think Bill Cosby used to do a bit where he mentioned that cocaine is supposed to enhance one's personality ... "But what if you're an asshole?"

Little Saturday Afternoon stream of consciousness there ... I've just finished wrapping up and addressing my SS-box ... just need to get off my lazy butt and take it to the Post Office. Won't be able to do it Monday because the car's being inspected that morning ... I'll get it there.
