    Only managed to send my gift package off yesterday (apologies to my SS, even though they mostly likely don't know I am their Saturn); past couple of weeks were rough, along with one of the gift coins taking a while to arrive. Its international so it might at least get there by the end of Saturnalia or by Christmas, hopefully.

    My SS package arrived today and there was another package in there too! What an amazing surprise. I look forward to the first day of Saturnalia :).

    One of the gifts for my recipient has reached the intermediary; not sure about the second coin. Hopefully it will arrive soon and the package will be forwarded.

    It’s definitely a relief to know that the package I sent to my SS gift recipient has arrived and appears to be undamaged. I know the feeling of the anxiety that you are experiencing, Bing, and I hope your gift package arrives undamaged at it’s intended destination soon.

    I received my SS gift about a week ago. I will find out more about it on the 17th, when I open it. I know that it's some kind of book? Which is fine.

    Lo and behold, my mailbox this morning was a cornucopia.

    ... of junk mail.

    But wrapped up in all the junk mail was ... this! :woot:

    Couldn't wait until Monday to open it.

    Thanks, Secret Saturn! How in the world did you guess I didn't already have a Laelianus aureus? Mighty kind of you!

    OK, yeah. I haven't opened it.

    Yet.

    I got a package (maybe yesterday but didn’t check the mail) so now to wait for Saturnalia. Thank you Saturn and I can’t wait to open it.

    I haven't seen much activity from my recipient...hope everything is well for them. Fear not, my package has been sent and should be in hand.

    Still nothing on my end, probably lost I guess.

    Same here, but I'm more than concerned about the package I sent 3 weeks ago today. My recipient has not indicated the package has arrived.

    Nothing for me yet, either, but there's still time.

    Nothing at this end, too. But It's probably due to backlogs from the postal strike, I reckon.

    I hope my package arrived safely though.

    My recipient's gift tracking says it will be delivered by tonight but that seems unlikely. Should get there by Monday though :).

    I'm a little worried about my recipients package, early last week I was notified it cleared US customs then today they said it was at the distribution center in my home city.
    My mailbox has been empty so far.

    The thrill of not knowing who you are a Saturnee to, and not knowing if your Saturn got their gift or not is super nice! :) I'm sure they'll all arrive in their due time, even if a little late. Hey Saturnalia is a whole week! :D

    I finally got home, but no package awaited me. I guess I will continue waiting :)
