Modern Vespa

In Piaggio colors too. I hoped you would get a kick out of it. Hang it proudly because it was custom made. Seriously have a great xmas. Gah my handwriting is horrible if you need a translation just ask. BEND yours is going out tomorrow or Tuesday. I remembered the card.

Thank you for directing me here Witch. Don't check this side of the forum often enough, and was wondering why the old post seemed to have ended.

That mini harmonica necklace on page 1 is awesome!

Sending my gift out tomorrow. Hope it makes it to California in time!

I got mine from TomJazz. Thank you so much

Got it! Awesome job, Mutt! Couldn't remember if we had to wait, soo...couldn't find a dog hair anywhere

Pictures to follow...as soon as I get them together....

So glad it got there without incident... Wow it is so strange seeing something I held in my hands on the Interwebs from down under.

My best wishes for the holidays!

David

YAY!!! That was fast! Glad you like it

I have been procrastinating about sending my gift. It will go out in the mail today I promise. 8)

Last week I received a highly suspicious box with a return address that did not show up either on Mapquest or my GPS.

It took me three days to muster the courage to open it without notifying the authorities. Should I wear a mask just in case? Or put back my armored gear in case it blows up? I took it outside and had two of my neighbors back me up. I am a bit neurotic when it comes to unidentified packages.

It turned out to be a drain hose for my washer and dryer that I had ordered on the Internet.

LMAO...i had something similar happen a few weeks ago. I had a package waiting for me when I got home and was very excited about it. I tore it open looking for my latest eBay purchase - only to discover art supplies for my wife's 3rd grade class.

That reminds me of something that happened about 18 years ago.I am a metalsmith/jeweler and I ordered some descaler for one of my tumbling units. It was not that nasty of a chemical.... if you got it on your hands, you wanted to wash it off but it was not going to burn you are anything. It was one of the more gentle chemicals that I used. I get home from work and there was a rather cryptic and stressed voicemail from a neighbor asking me to come and get my "package". I walk over, she had the cars moved outside and this box was sitting alone in the middle of the garage floor.... with bright black and yellow striped caution and hazmat tape ALL OVER IT LOL!!!! Boy did she look worried. I told her what it was and later I actually showed her. Up until then I think she thought I was building bombs in the basement or something. Oh my. When I saw the excessive and completely over the top tape job they did on it. I could understand her concern. She could not understand why I was laughing so hard though, not at first anyway LOL

Where are all the pics of the stuff you guys got? We want pics.

Did send mine last week should be arriving this week in England

Just put in the Gifts nothing else

OAD did you get your globe GPS

Ahem.... yeah!

Sent mine out today. Should be arriving in California Wednesday. I chose a product exclusive to my area, and a re-gifted SSR item. I think I might just be the worst shopper/gift giver ever! Hope my person is cool with it. Still waiting for mine. Will post pics ASAP though!

I went shopping today and found some lovely Colorado made goodies. Will be shipping sometime this week. [probably friday]

But I am such a gipsy at heart that I am sure my friend will forgive me!

Got back from a trip to buy a windscreen (and sit on every Vespa in the shop) to find a box on the kitchen table. Turned it around to see the address, and it was my present Without thinking of when it was right to open it, I went at it....carefully wrapped and packed, not a dog hair in sight ........ Liz, you outdid yourself! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

What a way to finish a great day

Now I have to get my butt in gear and get mine mailed!!

So here's a look...

It's all in the presentation. If the pacakage looks good who cares if it is from another planet.

Man, wished I could of gotten in non this..#jealous

glad you like it!!!!

I have never beeen an excellent wrapper. There is always that little corner that needs to be worked on. Now if you are looking at my package upfront, topside up, the left lower corner came out really crappy. So I bravely go where everyone has gone before (PO), take a deep breath, wear my big sunglasses, and drive there. Yes I drove there! The lady at the counter had lots of questions. She looked at me kind of like gave me the elevator look and said: "Any inhalants, sprays, or perfumes?" Needless to say I was aghast. Inhalants, really? I really think it was the stained sweat pants that did me in. I said no, no, no. Then she asked me why it felt so flimsy. Of course by then I was on my last gay nerve, inhaled deeply, exhaled, and responded: "It is the bubble wrap honey. The package is so pretty I thought I would bubble-wrap it before shipping." It is offical now it is in the mail with stickers everywhere.

Just got a call from my daughter.

Daughter: "Hi daddy!! Guess what came in the mail for you!!"

Me: "Ahhh, well I think it might be... (thinking of an MV Xmas, I am)".

Daughter (cutting me off): "Ha!! Jury duty notice!!"

Me: Sigh... "Thanks sweetie, not to worry, bye now!"

Calling the Sherriff (yes we have those here, like the Sherriff of Nottingham variety, not the U.S. star-shaped-badge kind).

Me: "I got a jury duty notice"

Sherriff: "Yes..."

Me: "I'm a member of the Bar..."

Sherriff: "Oops, sorry, we'll take you off the list."

Me: "Thanks, bye now."

Still no MV Xmas gift... Sigh... back to waiting... feeling like a kid before Christmas... MV makes you young again... Sigh...

Nice Vespa mug! It's going to need its own shelf in the cupboard of course, since the other mugs might get jealous of that wasp-y shape and try to chip it

MAKSOR you made my dad with that GPS. I'm so gonna steal your idea and plant one on my friends Harley. Then of course i'll run like hell but it will be fun to see the look on his face. Great idea. 8)

Pictures are worth a million words in this thread. Step it up people. I wanna see!

got home late from the office last night and sitting on our kitchen table was a USPS box ---

Perfect gift - I am a medium roast guy and have always been hesitant to try new blends afraid that I won't like it - the chocolates the wife has claimed - so two birds indeed

awesome that a fellow MP3 500 rider "drew" my name -

now I gotta get busy mailing mine out

Just by nature of it's shape it refuses to be placed in some inconspicuous corner. Definitely a Vespa attitude.

LOL.... I hadn't thought of that but true... So true. 8)

No more plastic containers for me. These are made in all sorts of sizes locally. Made in USA. Here's a picture, they make galvanized trash cans, and we have a self sealing one for bird seed. New copper stuff too. Great for that country look and very serviceable.

Had to plug the local guys!

Love American made great plug

I received my gift yesterday - a nice model ET4 to replace my real one that I sold a couple of years back, and a matching MP3 badge and keyring.

Thanks Nico

Photos to follow...

huh?

It's going in the mail!

Wow, and I thought Winona just did canoes.

We have Mercury outboards, but they're over the budget for this

I'ts Christmas early......Thanks to Lomunchi

A box of goodies indeed ....representing Maple Grove Minnesota.....a cool jersey from the local high school, a bag of local wild rice, a small MV sticker, soon to be on the 250...and a couple of awesome Roman coins and a coin from Herod Agrippa to represent Italy/vespa.This indeed made my day.....Thank You So Much

Wow!!!! Is that ever cool! What a cool gift! This is so fun... I love seeing what everyone is coming up with. Vespa peeps have great imaginations

Ok. Gift is now "outgoing". Not very original admittedly but still very good.

An Italian Christmas cake and a neckwarmer/headwarmer/scarf-type thing. Truly cool. Our exchange student had one of those scarf-things and I thought it was pretty slick, now, in the cold MN winter, I'll be just a bit more comfortable (and a few calories heavier!)

Also cat approved!

Thanks Max6200! (OK, it was a 'Max' from Wichita, I'm assuming it was Max6200!)

Max does give excellent prezzies!

Lucky Larry, well done Max.
