Gift exchange question

For those participating in the exchange, when do you plan to mail your package to your giftee? I am waiting to receive a trade, hopefully in the next couple days, but otherwise I'm good to go.

I know the deadline is Dec. 5, but how early is too early? I'm the type who is done Christmas shopping by November 1, so I need some guidance.

Maybe it's just me being an American who celebrates Christmas, but I try to wait on breaking out the Christmas music, decorations, and gifts (although I might buy them before) until after Thanksgiving. It's hard to do when Nov. 1 means red and green all over the stores these days.
I think when I've participated before I mailed by or around the first of December.

It may be worth noting that Hanukkah is Dec. 1-9 this year, however.

I mail mine right around the 5th. I want it to be near the 25th when they get it.

I mail mine around the deadline, as well. Sometimes I might wait for Mary's sale at TotalFitnessDvds. Or, I might make something for my person, which may take some time to plan.

I'm usually a last minute shopper, though. I would be the last person to ever mail a package early.

I'm almost done with the shopping for my giftee, but I will wait to the end of November to send my package. I will send it priority mail so she should receive it in 6-8 days.

I usually mail mine the week after Thanksgiving. I still have to order the DVDs I plan to send and since Thanksgiving is next week, I should probably get on that.

I may mail mine the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend. I have everything ready, but need to do the wrapping.

I have everything ready to go except one of the DVDs I ordered is not being released until Nov. 30 so by the time I get it, I'll probably be close to the Dec. 5 deadline for getting it mailed out.

I will say this: I sure had a lot of fun shopping, because I don't have any women to shop for at all.

Jo, I feel the same way The adults in my family don't really exchange gifts, and the kids all want gift cards-no fun!
