What is?
Just what it sounds like. It's a Secret Santa between your fellow halforumites. Everyone who signs up will be randomly assigned another participant. You are then tasked to buy that person a gift. As a recipient, you should leave a few hints in your signature (maybe an amazon wishlist link) as to what sort of interests you have.

Rules and Info
  • International people are allowed. If you would prefer not to get an international person, indicate so in your signup post. But depending on how many international folks show up, you may get one anyway. For the purposes of pairing, Canada will not count as international. If you aren't going to ship internationally, choose North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Pacific Islands. It may be the case that if you restrict your choice to local shipping then matching might not work out and you may be left out - I'll let you know once the matching is complete if that's the case.
    -International Shipping Links: USPS, Customs Forms
    -Tips for shipping in and out of Canada
    -Remember to allow extra shipping time when shipping outside of your home country
  • To sign up post your interest in this thread and send me a private message with Secret Santa in the subject line and your mailing information, e-mail address, international preferences, and any specific notes to the gifter in the body of the private message, like so:

    Mailing Information:
    Username
    Joe Forumer
    123 Anywhere Lane
    Everywhere, NY 12345
    email@web.com
    Will ship anywhere
    Click to expand...
  • Who can sign up?
    To keep things fair, only those with a join date earlier than April 15 and more than a handful of posts will be allowed to participate for obvious reasons. If you would like to participate and don't fall under the requirements then you will just have to wait until next year. The final say of who can join this activity will be entirely up to the mods so there may be exceptions, but the final word is final. Don't complain if special dispensation is not made for you. This goes for those who may be disincluded as well.
  • The deadline for signing up will be Wednesday November 18th. After that day, Santas will be randomly assigned by computer. You will be sent a private message shortly after with the information of whom you will be drawing a gift for. If nobody knows who you are, you probably will not be allowed to sign up. Nothing personal.
  • Recommended gift value is $5-20. Feel free to spend as much as you want, just be aware that the more you spend, the less likely you will receive a gift of equal value. Also, homemade/handmade gifts are allowed (no homemade food please).
  • ABSOLUTE FINAL DEADLINE FOR GIFTS RECEIVED IS JANUARY 15! PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SEND GIFTS BY JANUARY 15 WILL BE ... well, we'll think of something nasty to do to you. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are not sure you will be able to send a gift, then don't sign up.
  • Do not complain about your gift, conversely, try to send something you think the other person will like.
  • You MUST post pictures of your gift when you receive it. No exceptions.
  • UNLESS SPECIFIED AS SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE, PLEASE DO NOT SEND NSFW OR ALCOHOLIC GIFTS.
  • CAN I SHIP SOMETHING STRAIGHT FROM AMAZON OR SOMETHING?
    Yes you can, and it's a good idea to shop at your person's home country's Amazon site (www.amazon.ca for instance) if you want to save a bit on shipping. Be sure and provide a note upon checkout saying who you are, though!
  • BE SURE AND SHIP WELL IN ADVANCE
    Get your act together NOW and try and ship your stuff by Dec 10th or so to make sure it arrives before the crazy Christmas rush that always happens at the latter half of December.

If someone signs up and then doesn't give a gift, and still gets one, that's pretty much stealing from the community. Is that really someone you still want around?

Click to expand...
We're just finally getting around to adding temp bans to a fairly open community. Further, we're a relatively small community, and there are probably few people the whole community would want to get rid of even if they had 'stolen' from the secret santa group.

But at the end of the day, it's not my call. We could run a poll on it once we get a few more ideas for suitable punishments, so we have a wide range of choices.

Click to expand...
we could divide everyone who is doing this into 4 categories.

Americas
Europe
Asia
international (people who don't care about shipping cost)
(do we have any Australians? can they ship to Asia easily?)

everyone in their category gets divided into two groups, alternating who goes into each group by the order they signed up. So if the order is Phil, Juski, Gusto, Dave the list would look like

group A: Phil, Gusto

group B: Juski, Dave

then go down group A and use a random number generator to select someone from group B.

I think that way people who need a lower shipping cost can still participate while those who want to ship and receive something exotic can take that chance too.

Hmm... sounds like a good idea.

What N_R Likes:
- Music (especially Irish Trad, Medieval music, jazz, blues, bluegrass)
- Something good to read (fantasy, humour, historical and sci-fi on fiction side; cook books, history, art, mythology, anecdotes & military history/weaponry on the fact side)
- Calvin & Hobbes (got There's Treasure Everywhere, the Indispensable Calvin & Hobbes, The Essential Calvin & Hobbes and the Lazy Sunday Book), Hägar the Horrible, Beetle Bailey, Order of the Stick (all but Don't Split the Party).
- Travelling (even on the couch)
- Suspenders

What N_R doesn't like:
- Alcohol, tobacco or firearms. Okay, firearms will do :p And I do like me some Smithwick's... but no tobacco! NO! Also: not hint. Rambling.
- Socks
- Politics
- Conspiracy theories and 'alternative' historians



Also, international shipping? Not a problem, I believe.

Sure, why not. Been forever and a day since I've been on the forums, I might as well get back into things via this.

As for shipping preferences and whatnot - I'd prefer something in North America (Or the UK - I've got a few friends over there that I could get to help out and thus duck shipping costs). I'm fairly lax on it, but if it's not a hassle then I'd rather not pay for international shipping.

Hmm... I think we all oughta put some notions of what kinda gifts we hope to receive or would not like to have. Personally, I'm open to NSFW gifts, but not toys or stuff of that variety. Being single sucks...

Anyhoo, here's my Likes & Dislikes list again, just for the hell of it:

What N_R Likes:
- Music (especially Irish Trad, Medieval music, jazz, blues, bluegrass)
- Something good to read (fantasy, humour, historical and sci-fi on fiction side; cook books, history, art, mythology, anecdotes & military history/weaponry on the fact side)
- Calvin & Hobbes (got There's Treasure Everywhere, the Indispensable Calvin & Hobbes, The Essential Calvin & Hobbes and the Lazy Sunday Book), Hägar the Horrible, Beetle Bailey, Order of the Stick (got all the books but Don't Split the Party).
- Travelling (even on the couch)
- Suspenders

What N_R doesn't like:
- Alcohol, tobacco or firearms. Okay, firearms will do And I do like me some Smithwick's... but no tobacco! NO! Also: not hint. Rambling.
- Socks
- Politics
- Conspiracy theories and 'alternative' historians


EDIT:
Also, no good sending me movies overseas, unless you can find them with an Area 2 code. The US is Area 1, so... *shrugs*

Yeah, by the by, whoever has me assigned...don't spend money on me. My secret Santa is getting something from the heart...that is, something homemade and crappy. And probably not a lamp made out of unused condoms.

In case it hasn't already been said, it might be an idea for anyone involved in the Secret Santa to answer "What sort of thing would you like for Christmas" in their AMA thread, if they have one.

Or, if they don't have one. They should make one.

Or, maybe just post here.

Regional stuff is always a win for me. I like trinkets and tokens, as well as drinks music or other unique stuff from various places in the world. It might even give me a new place to put on my Global Adventure Itinerary (tm).

I would like to avoid anything NSFW. Alcohol, tobacco or whatever is fine, but nothing ... you know ... raunchy. That's the sort of thing better done in person anyhow ;)

I like to read too, if that helps.


#124

HowDroll

HowDroll

Hmmmmm.....

Well, I'm not 21, so anyone who sends me alcohol is sending alcohol to a minor. For next year's SS, I'll be all about it. This year, however, you may have to face the wrath of my mother :rofl: NSFW stuff is cool, though, if you're into that sort of thing. I don't really smoke much, and when I do it's either cigars or hookah, so... *shrug* If you think you found some tobacco product I might like, go for it, I guess :)

I'd absolutely love a geeky t-shirt, especially from Penny-Arcade, xkcd or ThinkGeek. I feel that is one of the things my wardrobe is sorely lacking. Some of them will probably go on sale or whatever because of Christmas, too. Pick one that speaks to you about me, and if you don't get me a medium my boobs will not fit into it :) That'll probably end up at the higher end of the present scale cost, though, so no pressure.

I love to read, I don't own a single Blu-Ray but am buying a HD TV for my family for Christmas, and I think homemade gifts are awesome. Other than that? I'm honestly not a picky person. I'd much rather get a gift that shows someone put some serious thought into it than something expensive but entirely generic.

Droll can send pictures of her boobs. It's nearly free for her and I can't think of a single person on the boards who would turn her down.

I'll take anything geeky, comic books, dvd, etc if you've been around a while you can easily guess my interests (Doctor Who, Star Trek, mmorpgs, Green Lantern, etc)

Nothing NSFW please. No clothing, since you almost most likely won't find geeky tshirts in my size.


#130

Shakey

I'll take just about anything from thinkgeek, that place has some cool stuff. Other than that anything shiny that can catch my attention for a while would be cool. At my desk I keep a bouncy ball that lights up and a slinky to play with.

Booze would be fine, as with any NSFW items.

Don't send any liquids that could freeze. It's not real cold here now but if it comes in December it may be a problem.

If you got my name (sucks to be you btw), here are a few easy suggestions :

- A cool pen holder (you know, for the desk, where you can put in like 50 pencils, pens, etc) (ps: nothing too colorful, black,gray, silver or brown... i do have a dark cherry colored studio U desk)
- naked pictures of either cajungal, shego or howdroll... for blackmailing purposes. :confused:

LittleSin

Whoo! Just got my assignment!

That means someone has me as well!

So, here's a list of things I like. :p I can't tell you exactly what I want because, frankly, I don't know!

Favorite Books: Anything Douglas Adams BESIDES Mostly Harmless, H.P. Lovecraft enthusiast, Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings, World War Z, pretty much any sci-fi.

Favorite Comic Book Characters: Green Lantern (Hal and Kyle), Flash (Wally West), DeadPool, Batman, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold. I'm really loving the Blackest Night series and before that Marvel Zombies but I've since given up MZ for being fucking disgusting.

Favorite Music: I like metal. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, etc. I also like most junk that comes on the radio, sue me.

Movies: Oh boy um...Evil Dead, pretty much any comic book movie, zombie films like Zombieland and Night of the Living Dead, Close Encounters, Star Wars, Start Trek: TNG movies and that remake....there's alot.

TV: I love anime especially Dragon Ball Z, Justice League Unlimited, Metalocalypse, all of the CSI shows, Criminal Minds, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Start Trek TNG/DS9 Batman: TAS AND The Brave and the Bold...I apparently like cartoons.

Hobbies: Art. I love to draw and paint, any art supplies that gets sent my way will NOT go to waste. I've been wanting to pick up something like knitting so a starter kit for that won't go astray either.

Other stuff: Unique stuff for the baby, such as geeky bibs or onsies. He's fitting into 12 month clothing at 6 months old so anything like that would be cool

Have fun!

I was going to come in here and suggest people update their wiki page with what they want, but if we're just doin' it here anyway, I'll go too!

I like Faberge eggs wrapped in hundred dollar bills, along with high end electronics.


Also shot glasses from different places, beers from different places, knick knacks, weird/funny things, comics, games (only have a n64 and ps2), board games/card games, movies, usual nerd stuff. NSFW and booze welcome. Food things would be welcome as well. Just about anything! Go nuts!

Sparhawk

Okay, I like comics, music and reading (mostly sci-fi (or is that syfy?!?) & fantasy), I collect random bits of crap on my desk... oh, wait, that's just what my wife says. I do kind of collect Pug dog stuff and the whole house is Disney all over.

Love Patchett, LE Modisett Jr, McCaffery, Lackey and Peter David. I just "disposed" of my entire comic collection on my nephew, slowing picking up trades, but don't have many right now. Been enjoying the new Terry Moore Echo series and need to catch up on Jack of Fables.

NSFW should be avoided (not talking pin-up type like Frank Cho, but harder stuff) and I don't drink or smoke (thank my family for that, examples and such...).

I like goofy t-shirts, but you usually can't find them with a 3xl tag.

Hope that helps whoever the sucke... uh, sender is.

Bah!! Outright stating what you like takes all the fun out of Secret Santa. :p I will say again, though, I'm open to alcoholic gifts if the shipping can be trusted. Outside of that, I think I've given enough hints/said enough in my time here for a gift to be figured out.

So once everyone gets their gifts, we can do a Michael Scott-inspired Yankee Swap right? :D

I am by nature a very forgetful person for names and faces, which is nice because I've already forgotten who is sending me stuff! Woo! (it helps that I was doing the list past my bedtime...)

Fortunately I did send myself a PM so I know who I'm sending something to. Thank you to my Secret Santaee for posting what you like, I had no firtjering clue what to send you.

Now I'm pondering ways to get as much of it for you as possible... ;-D

If you are my secret santa, aside from amazon wishlist (which, if not used as a gift directly, should at least give you a broad taste of things I'm interested in) I like long walks in the park, sunsets, and puppies - oh, wait, wrong site.

Um. Anything!

I know everyone here is talented and creative, so creative homemade gifts are even better.

Please no NSFW or alcohol though. Unless you warn me on the outside I'll open it Christmas morning with my kids and family.

I'm good with alcohol but not so much NSFW-type material.

I love reading, I'm finishing EMT-training so that's a big interest of mine, I'm a big geek, so game-related, nerdy things from sites and novelty shops are winners.

Heartfelt letters stating undying affection and allegiance to my secret cabal that will take over the world are also acceptable (Beat the bandwagon!)

As others have said, thought over price; something unique is usually a winner with me.

In my signature, I mention a Danelectro Fish and Chips EQ pedal because I've seen them for around 10 bucks or so, but I find none around that price without checking local Craigslists. So that might not be an option.

I'm really down for just about anything, aside from the NSFW stuff. So, here's a revised list:

· Danelectro Fish & Chips EQ Pedal (if one can be found for a reasonable price)
· I'd love to read the Dexter series of books, as I recently wrapped up season 3.
· A Pearl Jam beanie or ball cap would be pretty awesome (especially the beanie for winter wear).
· I'm a bit too fat for most t-shirts...plus being 6'2" and all torso doesn't help.
· Alcohol could work as well.

Well for my Secret Santa's information, I like geeky stuff as much as the next nerd...weird little gadgets and the like (thinkgeek kind of stuff). I also love to read--I love history books--for example, the last three books I read were "Dangerous Nation", "Strategies of Containment", and "After Tamerlane: The Rise and Fall of Empires". I also love Warhammer 40,000 books---I haven't been able to read anything released in '09 since I've been living in China so in particular I'd like The new Gaunts Ghost novel "Blood Pact" (I think thats the newest one) or "Tales of Heresy" from the Horus Heresy series. I also like homemade and novelty items as well.

<.< I know I specified that I'd prefer things that are handmade, since that's what I'm doing. But here's a run down of things I also enjoy, I guess...


Movies, television, music. I like books! Ooh, and vagina puppets. But those aren't readily available.

So really, shitty movies, cheap television shows, cheap, shitty / weird / informational books...something with personality, yknow? I also take watercolor paintings and other art that would make me lulz.

I would also take a giant box full of bubblewrap, with a little man smiling at the bottom.

Also I hear amazon.com has the AVClub inventory for cheap...

Also old sega genesis or N64 games...

Awright, finally sent the gift today. With international shipping, I was told it would hit the other side of the Atlantic on the Christmas week.

I just hope that the receiver doesn't read the obligatory "cargo manifesto" glued to the back of the package. Stupid legislation... what do they think I was mailing? Yellowcake plutonium?

Sent my stuff over yesterday...apparently 10-15 days to get to the US...I sent the stuff to a family member and then they'll send the stuff over to my secret Santa since i had other things in the package and It apparently is pretty damned expensive to ship packages to the states so I wanted to put all my stuff together. So, dear recipient, you should get your stuff within 2-3 weeks :p

I am so excited. I'm also sending my gift either today or tomorrow. I had to wait this long for money, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to ship it in time, so I'm sending it straight from the online retailer. I hope it doesn't make my person sad that it isn't gift-wrapped or anything.

Incidentally, about a dozen times in the last week, I've been walking around town and something would strike me as a good gift for a forumite who isn't my secret Santa. I love sending stuff to people.

If you want to, you can call Me a viking. Newfoundland was the site of a viking settlement somewhere around 1000 A.D. The mascot for the city I grew up in was Leif the Lucky, a viking caricature based on Leif Erickson.

WOHOO! I got my gift this morning!

Here it is... the Amazon package, smiling so smugly at me...


And here's the morning paper, so you can see I haven't been holding back from you guys.


And here it is: The Authoritative Calvin & Hobbes, wohoo! :D Seriously, stop looking at me like that. I lurve C&H :) Also, sorry about the lamp flare.


Here is me, overjoyed and undercombed. I had woken up like ten minutes ago.


Even my father, who had stayed over for the night with mom, was so overjoyed. Here he is, in his traditional morning garb, bursting with joy-joy feelings.


In fact, he was so impressed he joined me in giving a two... errr... a thumb-and-a-half-up to this nice prezzie.


I have an idea who sent this, but I cannot be sure. The trail grew cold somewhere in Deeeeeeep East Texas. Thank you, whoever you may be ;)

Bubble, in all honesty, on most occasions he wears less clothes than I do.

Thanks, Espy. I also have two really funny pictures of dear old dad drinking Guinness, but I promised not to put them online. If they were made into a .gif file, maybe some leekspin-kinda music in the background, he'd be the next Numa boy :D

Mav, he's not naked. He's got his pants on. And the book does cover his floppy... erm... The book covers his chest!

Seej, there's a first time for everything ;) And don't tell me you didn't secretly like it ^-^

Oh it wasn't that. I think he might like hearing a compliment about his 'brows, especially since I tell him to go an' get them cleaned up, for God's sake :D I'd have to keep him in check, though... He's something of a charmer. Nothing serious, of course, he and Mom are happily married. He just likes to joke around a lot.

He might be a little... surprised at the commentary otherwise. Seriously, people, have none of you seen your dads without a shirt on? At least once?

Yaaay, just got my present in the mail!

Annoyingly, I don't have access to a camera at the moment - as soon as I can get use of one, I'll throw some real pictures up for them, if people want.

Got a package from thinkgeek!



(Pretend there's a box full of these things and the following two things.)

It has a cool book!



(Pretend that this is a picture of it in my hand, and not off their website.)

This is the sort of thing I really like - knowledge of how to screw with stuff I own on a fundamental, working level. I love it! I'm going to read through as soon as I can and start messing with stuff, much to the chagrin of my family.

I also got a radiometer!



(Pretend that this...dammit, you know already.)

I've wanted one of these for quite a while, actually - my cousin had one on his desk and I screwed around with it when I was younger. It will gain a well-deserved place on my desk.

So, hooray, and thanks [strike]Rob King[/strike] my secret Santa-man! Thank you very much!

All this talk of "gift received" conformation makes me nervous. I'm very rarely home, since I am spreading Christmas Joy for 40 (cough*morelike60-80*cough) hours a week.

I'm not worried that they would steal my gift or something, but I could imagine them forgetting to give it to me.

Huh.

I've been reading the Calvin & Hobbes book I got from Sparha... eeerrrr, I mean my Secret Santa, and I just noticed something. It's a misprint, lacking some thirty pages worth of comics.

Oh well, there's still 200+ pages of grade A, Bill Watterson-drawn C&H. Just wanted to say this as a heads-up to folks using Amazon. If you don't get to see the book you're buying, you can never be completely sure it's a-okay. Especially if it's a used copy, no matter how untouched it's touted to be.

If you don't get to see the book you're buying, you can never be completely sure it's a-okay. Especially if it's a used copy, no matter how untouched it's touted to be.

Wow, sorry about that, but it was a new purchase, so contact Amazon about possible replacement, defective is defective and they should honor replacement.

The teddy bear got ripped in half when i tried to peel it from its mold. It was not pretty... i don’t know if anyone else has made your own gummis before but the gelatin might was well have been lava. It becomes so hot and sticky when you cook it some fell on my finger when i was pouring it into its mold, shit freaking burned me.

How did they taste? I still need a pic of you eating a giant mixed berry gummi vag to send as my Xmas card.

So my gift arrived in the mail today, as I opened with baited breath, something from Amazon;



Hmmm I wonder what could be inside



Why a box inside a box, this one in a decorative style (note I had already opened the wrapping so the bow is missing in the picture, it was cute).



Inside box #2, a mystery of wrapping paper



And behind door number three, River Song's Sonic Screwdriver from Doctor Who Season 4 ;) How brilliant is that?! FANTASTIC! It lights up with sound and everything like my 10th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver does.



Little better photo (sorry for crappy quality, 1.3meg pixel cam is best I got). It has dual Red and Blue lights so you can toggle it just like the one from the show AND the front panel comes off to show the life signs detector containing someones memory print which lights up to! I'll try to get another video of the new one up on youtube soon.

Big thank you to Covar, great gift dude!, love it really!!!!!!!, Merry Christmas bro.

If you have not sent your gift, PLEASE send it this week. Again, all gifts must be RECEIVED by January 15th to avoid incurring halforums wrath, so if shipping cost is prohibitive, send it ground, but PLEASE try to send it this week, if not today.

My package shall be sent tonight, and (due to a little larger check than I anticipated :) ) I was able to ensure it would arrive before Christmas!

Joyyyyy!

So, I got home from work today, no package, no notice on the door that it's in the office, nothing in the mailbox.... I was feeling rather anxious about getting a present in the mail. But it looked like Santa was holding off for yet another day. So I saddle up the Pug (or put a harness on him) to take him out for his afternoon constitutional (also known as "I GOTTA GO POOP NOW!! moment) and decided to stop by the office to check on the status of a repair that we're waiting on, and the manager says that she's got a package for me. JOY!

So we chat a little and the Pug and I are heading home to see what is in this wonderful package from ThinkGeek!

Here's the box...


and here is it after being carefully sliced open (I take my present opening seriously)...


Looks good, got a catalog to look though in the reading room later, but that's not the good stuff, there is a can of "Smart Mass Thinking Putty Dark Matter"...


And a "Make your own Snowman World" kit (the only way that we'll ever be able to make a snowman world in East Texas....)


I plan on having some fun with this stuff, thanks Santa from Backus, Mn! (or Tim if you prefer ;) )

:clap: You got it!

I was feeling kinda random, so I got you some stuff to play with.

It's not Christmas without making at least one snowman, and like you said this is probably the only way for you to get to do it. Or you could just make snowballs and throw them at someone.:D

It's kind of a "super" silly putty. I've already stretched it out to about 6 foot in length and even my wife likes playing with it, it's really some cool stuff.

Wife looked at the catalog that came with it, she wants the lightsaber chopsticks now... might just have to get them for her, Valentine gift maybe...

My person should have gotten their gift by now. I'm a little concerned because of the delay.

Yeah, I have no idea how long it'll take mine to get there. Somebody said they sent theirs on Nov. 28th and it's expected to arrive Jan. 1st? Holy shit!

I'm gonna be nerve-wracked for over a month if that's the case.


#443

If they don't announce it soon I'm going to pick up something else. I'll probably get the first one back after I send the second one and I'll just keep it myself.
Edit: The second one will be just as good if not the same as the first one, so fear not giftee.

Ok,


listen

I got the gift today for my person. I know it's too late to get it to them for Christmas, but I'd like to point out that I got this person a gift BEFORE getting anything for anyone in my family.

So it's going to be getting to you around the last minute but I'm like 99% sure you'll like it.

Or you already have it.

Alrighty, so that's a Sent on everyone except for Sin, and I know her package exploded or something and if she hasn't sent it yet, she will, so everyone's good on a sent.

So now everyone just waits until their shit gets there. =|

Why, it's from Terrik! Terrik, you rascal, what did you get me??

Well golly, here's a letter! Let's see what it says!



Dowhatnow?



Well hey, that coin's pretty neat! Let's see what else he was talking about...





Terrik, are you.... are you trying to frame me?



Oh, wow. This woodworking is pretty bitchin'.

Oops! That's all the pics I have!

Hahaha, definitely one of the weirder presents I've ever gotten! But all very cool. The posters are interesting, the coin is neat, I'm totally hanging the woodworking up, and I'm sure the tote shall tote.

But if the FBI shows up at my door, I'm totally sending them after you. :|

(But fo' real though, thanks! Is there any kind of story behind all these things, like did you spend time in China or what?)

So thank you Terrik! Hearing my mom say "what the hell?" as I opened the box was a nice treat. :D

Glad you liked them Doomdragon and unless my sarcasm detector has been fried (which is entirely possible), yes I did spend some time in China. In fact I'm living there now and bought all of those things here in Tianjin. I sent the package back home to Florida first and had someone send it to Alabama, which is why the package itself didnt have a Chinese address :)

I'm really glad you got it. I was getting nervous after the package hadn't gotten to the states after two weeks. Glad everything made it ok.

So here's the story (all about how ... )

I leave for God's Country tomorrow (aka. my hometown) and I still haven't received a gift. That's not a problem, because it means that I'll have something exciting to come back to. But it also means that for the next week I won't be able to recieve it. I assume I'll get notification of some sort by the postal service or courrier or whatever, but I'm altogether worried about everything going wrong at once.

If you are my santa, and you get conformation that my order has 'arrived' in the next week, could you send me a PM or post here or something? I know it's supposed to be "Secret" Santa and not "Annouce it in an electronic form" Santa, but you know how it is :p

HELLS YEA! I quickly go into my pocket and take out my carving knife.





I empty the contents and rip it open like a virgin woman willing to be taken.




The first find!



This is so cool man! Is that a doddle of me? Either way, you got talent!

Next up!

I want to take amusing pictures with it like everyone else is doing, but my mind immediately goes to a dirty place, and trust me those are pictures that will never see the light of day. So until my roommate gets back and can hold the camera for me, I leave you with a little teaser.

Well, UPS fucked me over. They said they would hold my package until the 29th and they did not, so it's being shipped back to the Amazon warehouse.

Oh well. I still need to ship out mine anyway which I can now because I am back home from my holidays. I'd like to apologize to my receiver for my tardiness. I hope to make it worth it!

Well, I got my gift on Christmas Eve. I'd love to post pictures but they were on my Nokia N97, which got stolen in Shanghai so they're gone, and so is my joy.

However, Thank you *very* much to my Secret Santa Bubble181 who kicks a lot of ass.

Here's what he got me:

http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Pact-Ga...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262057238&sr=8-1

and

http://www.amazon.com/Horus-Heresy-...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262057398&sr=1-1

I was literally walking out the door to the airport to go to Shanghai when I got the books. It was perfect. I read through the entire Gaunt's Ghost novel in less than a day. I read it in the airport, on the plane, and a few hours into the early morning when I arrived in Shanghai, and finished it after I woke up. I've been starving for some good reading material and its perfect. Going through the second one now. Cheers to you Bubble, perfect gift :)

I too, got my gift recently.

You see, whoever my SS was bought me stuff off of Amazon.

UPS tried to deliver but i wasn't home, so they sent me a card telling me about this a few days later. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to pick it up by the time they said they would send it back. I called them and asked them to hold it for another week, and they agreed.

I finally got back from my parent's place for X mas and went to pick it up only to find out that UPS sent it back a few days earlier than they said they would.

A few days ago, I got this in the mail.



19 bucks in Amazon credit!

I wonder though, who is my Santa and what did you intend to get me?
