Whew! I thought I missed it. I would have been upset!

Working tonight, hoping any sales haven't ended by the time I'm home and have slept *worry*Fun though :)
@Heather - I think you mentioned somewhere that our Secret Santas would be revealed to each of us on December 15th or so, after the gifting is done (so we can thank them, etc.)? I hope I'm making sense :-D

Whether or not a SS wants to reveal themselves or not is entirely up to them. I'll start a thread after the gift giving deadline is over (or near... I need to see what I did last year) for people who want to post who they had. But you do NOT have to say who you are to your SS person.

For whatever reason, some people want to remain anonymous but most revealed themselves last year.
Thanks, Heather! Is the gift giving deadline December 15th then? I have that date in my head for some reason :-)

I am worrying because I don't think I can gift a kindle book to someone because I am in Australia... But I should be able to gift someone an amazon gift e-card, right? I have been googling, but I can't find a definitive answer...Would I be better off trying aRe or somewhere else?
anyone know more about this? (damn international rules)...

So that makes me (a bit) happy...

So far I haven't had any problems, just make sure that .mobi or .prc are on the formats listed for the book. ARe does have some Secure epub books on their site.

My awesome Elf was quick. Had a nice prezzie in my email this morning!
Now I hope my person makes their wishlist soon especially with the ARe sale today!
MY SS got me
Thank you SS!
Okay thought I would update this post to say I got 3 awesome books from my SS on 3 different days. I was so surprised to open my email and see I had a second gift (totally unexpected) and was doing the happy dance when I got the third....thank you to my SS. Here is what I got
So AWESOME....thank you!
