    I've made my purchase this past week and am waiting for it to be temporarily delivered into my hands on the way to their's.
    I get anxious about that too! Like others, I've had to do a little sleuthing and immense consideration as to what they would find novel yet interesting. Though I'd suspect most/all participants would be appreciative of whatever coin they find Saturn drops in their post box.

    Count me in!

    However, I assure you, if I got nekkid here, the partay would be instantly over, and everyone would grab burning sticks from the fire to gouge their own eyes out with.

    So I'll retain my toga. You're welcome.

    My gift is on its way!

    It took some searching and thinking to select. Hope I picked the right one. :)

    I had a great time with this last year, so count me in again.

    And thank you @John Anthony for hosting it again.

    The mystery on the receiving end is part of the excitement. :)

    I did it the wrong way last year (my first time). I announced who I was in the gift package and there was no mystery. I'll definitely do it differently this year. :singing:

    I’m in for the first time. It’s a little intimidating I hope I don’t disappoint. Looks like some nice gifts have been exchanged in the past.

    Same here. I wouldn’t want to give everyone snow blindness from my (lack of sunshine) whiteness. ;)

    I'm in for the 4th (maybe 5th) time. Even though there were not always in my collecting fields, I've always been blown away by everything I recieved : the gesture alone is tremendous !

    Of course I always hope my giftees are pleased too

    As for hiding who I am, when they get an enveloppe from France, I doubt my giftees have hard time guessing :)

    I'll be honest and admit I sat on the fence too long last year. Late to the party I ended up getting paired with someone whose name I didn't recognize and who rarely posts here. Turns out they're more active in other parts of CT. Might be different if the pairing really is random. Not sure. I wanna be in it for the friendship.

    First time doing this in the ancients group. Mine is going to the post office next week. Did an "around the world mix" of coins which I think is nice.

    I've already got most of my package put together, though I do not yet know who my recipient will be. I have a book about a certain Roman emperor which looks pretty interesting. Now I just bought a coin of that emperor from @Ken Dorney, so it'll be a dual book and coin thing from me this year. But I'm still looking for a few other fun things to put in the package.

    Nice to feel a little bit "ahead of the curve", for once.

    I am going home for the thanksgiving holiday and the annual "black friday" show is small but hope to find something interesting to send.
    Like Q I don't think I can hide my identity I believe I'm the only member in Kansas.
    Last year I was paired with Sallent who figured it out with no help from me.
