    cool

    Very cool. I do not know my secret cycling sister's shoe size yet. I am out of town right now,skiing in Colorado, but I am hoping to have that info and some socks for her when I return.

    Enjoy.....

    I'm pretty excited cos I sent mine out on Monday and the nice lady at the post office said that they should be in US at the end of this week or beginning of next.. Did you know that you have to tell what you're sending if you send something to US? Like a customs clarfication.. weird..
    Ooh I hope mine likes what I sent..

    You have to fill out a customs declaration when you send things out of the US, too.

    I don't know sock size either

    I don't know the sock size either. So if you are reading this and didn't post a sock size, please do! I figured I'd just send medium and hope for the best. If it's wrong, then hopefully they'll say something so I can get it right the next time!

    Yes, customs forms are required for out of country items. Just make sure you mark it as a gift! I lived overseas twice, and it's a pain making out forms for all the Christmas presents. I got good at consolidating gifts--send to parents and ask them to distribute to brothers/sisters who lived in same city.

    Smile My Secret Sister went All Out!

    Wow, what a great Secret Sister I have! Beautiful wrapping, chocolate, an insulated water bottle (I NEED one of those!), little bags of trail mix for, well, the trail, a little tube of hand cleaner, and lip balm...did I forget anything?

    Oh, and SOCKS!

    All beautifully and thoughtfully wrapped and with a delightful card!

    I think I'm the luckiest Secret Sister!

    As for my other Secret Sister--the one I sent the gift to--I had it sent directly from the store, and I forgot to add a personal note. I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so I'll send a note from where I will be...so if you read this and you get a gift with no note, sorry. I'll do better next time!

    Thanks Sis's!

    Your now not-so-secret sister LOVED everything you sent, Laura! I'm going to send you a PM. By the way, the package arrived yesterday (Friday).

    I received my cool mtb socks from my Secret Sista! Many thanks and I'll try to keep the white socks clean - no promises though, lol. I love them!

    I got mine mailed out this weekend so she should see them about midweek.

    Amazing how excited I can get over a pair of socks,
    Dar

    Thank you secret sister, I got my sweet purple mtb socks yesterday. What a wonderful surprise when you come home from work!!

    You also motivated me to drag my lazy butt over to the 24hr post office to send mine out. So my secret sister should be expecting hers shortly!

    late

    To my secret sister...
    Your socks are on thier way...i'll have to find something unique to send you other than socks but it may take a bit of thinking...since you're in a hot climate as well.

    Thank you, Secret Sister!

    I just got my Secret Sister package, and love, love, love it! I got the cutest pair of Oscar the Grouch socks, a carrot cake Clif Bar (yu-um!), a Pria bar (chocolate peanut butter -- double yum), and Jelly Belly Sport Beans. The timing could not have been better, since tomorrow I'm going on my first group ride with a local ladies group! Secret Sister, you're the best!!! Thanks again
