I don't know what to get my secret Santa and I don't know how to ask. I tried messaging the Secret Santa user, but I'm moron and thought that was someone else's alt.
I have no idea what I'm doing.

When in doubt, ask Gas to be anonymous for you.
Ah, my Secret Santa arrived. First, I would like to say...
FAAAAAACK YOU, I'm younger than you are!
Ass.
Speaking of ass, this one is much more appropriate, and had Mr. Z curious as well!
And finally, this is as close to getting Chris Hemsworth in my bedroom as I'll ever get.
Thank you, Gas. Remind me to murder you next time we game.

Yeah, but after you referred to yourself as the "Old Lady" I harass in our last conversation, I couldn't help myself
@General Specific , there has been an infernal delay. The new expected date of your reckoning is now November 28th.
That’s odd, because I got the mail today and a package with my forum name was there!
Must be Secret Santa!
What is in it?
Lots of goodies!
(please excuse my messy, unmade bed)
The lego set was immediately claimed by my spouse and I look forward to some fun reads and hanging the Panthers Santa on my tree!
Thanks, @evilmike!

Elfcomm informs me that @Tinwhistler should expect 2 boxes: one on Dec. 2nd and then another Dec. 4-6th.
What's this? A Sunday delivery from Amazon? I didn't even know they delivered on Sundays.
COMICS!
Comics I've never even heard of before! My favorite kind of comics because I get to read something totally new within the medium.
Thanks, @General Specific! The box had three separate notes, as if they were meant to come in three different packages. But they all came in one, so I was a bit confused.

You were probably one of the easiest Secret Santas I've ever had to shop forMy Secret Santa knows just what it is I want -

Tito's and Waifus. Itsuki Nakano's got a place on my shelf any time.
Thanks, Tin
Hehe, I thought they would be separate boxes, yes. The comic in the middle is one of my favorite one shots from some years ago. The other two were highly rated from this past year, so I'm hoping they turn out good!
I very much appreciate it. I'm always on the lookout for new, interesting comics. Especially ones not from DC or Marvel (though I make the odd exception there).Hehe, I thought they would be separate boxes, yes.

There's a local shop here that sells used graphic novels. I peruse it sometimes and see what jumps out. These are exactly the kinds of books that would jump out for me. So I can't wait to read them.
If I remember, I'll post some brief reviews for them in one of the comics threads.

I like what I like and I make no secret of itYou were probably one of the easiest Secret Santas I've ever had to shop for
indeed, I have been Christmas'd
Mario Ornaments! Can't wait to power up my tree!
Book! Cookbook! This one was on my list. I love his TikToks and am looking forward to trying some of these!
Second Book! Hyrule Historia!!!
I actually do *not* already have this. I did, but when I lost my home I lost 99% of my books too so it's rad to have it again!

EuroElves will be visiting @Bubble181 with 2 packages around Dec 4.
A wild package appears!
Well, that's not saying much, is it?
Ooohhh, now this looks like something special.
A.... Canadian wine? And one made by my brethren up north? Who'd have thought?!
There's a whole booklet with tasting notes, description of the vineyard, etc included as well. Very fancy.
The text only includes the senders real name, so, thanks, but I'm afraid I still don't know which Forum handle matches
This one will definitely be kept for a special occasion!

I'm not the Santa, but it seems they have good taste!
EuroElves are very badly organized. It turns out they forgot a bit!
A second random box showed up!
It's a cardboard box!
It's a cardboard box with... Cardboard inside?
And below that it's... Some more cardboard?
Next is a whole layer of... Cardboard !
Underneath is even more cardboard! Does Santa think I really love cardboard? Or hate trees?
Hold on, there was a cardboard box hidden between all the cardboard! What's this?
It's a box full of extra colorful cardboard! Whoop!
More seriously, it's an awesome new boardgame!
Amazing! Thanks Santa! Really looking forward to trying this one out, it looks really beautiful!

Just FYI for my Secret Santa: I have received no boxes as of yet. (edit: I didn't want anyone to think I might be sitting on some presents and not posting them)

Since I'm on nights Santa left my gift during the day.
I wonder if I got cardboard, too!
Damn. No cardboard but lots of big bubble wrap!
Sweet! It's a book about the art & making of The Expanse TV show! Love that scientifically accurate show! This is going to be a fun one to read! Sorry I made it so hard on you, Santa. I know I'm difficult to buy for.

Amazon says they got there December 1st. You might need to check around if you've got nearby neighbors.
Wait, if you got Bubble wrap, does that mean the next recipient is getting Dave Droppings or something?
I'm on a corner lot, but I do know my next door neighbors. No dice. I get deliveries every couple of days, so the USPS driver in particular knows my address pretty well. That said, the 1st was a Friday. I *have* had stuff marked as delivered that showed up 1-2 days later, so I'll keep a lookout for it.
I'm working with GB now..it appears there may have been a glitch in the wishlist address system.
