TLS Sekrit Santa 2017

[Kionae]

My gift is wrapped, packaged, and ready to be mailed.

 

[Channy]

My perfect thing is currently out of stock on amazon so I'm waiting till it comes back - shouldn't be long

You know nothing

 

[Cthulhu]

Welp I sent my thing, . Shipping is about as much as the value of the contents but hey. Should be... fuck if I know, . 2-4 weeks?

 

[Flare]

I’ll be lucky if I get to mail my thing off this week but I *should* be able to before the weekend hits (still waiting on a couple things). so uh....it’ll be a belated Christmas gift.

 

[Kionae]

Mine went out on Saturday... a little later than I intended, but... eh. It should get there in time.

 

[Carlie]

To my secret santa: You're going to get an amazon package in the next couple of days that doesn't have my name on it or is gift wrapped because amazon refused to do so.

 

[ChipNoir]

Knowing my luck,the one coming my way will arrive while I'm out of town .

But gift from has been sent. I'm excited to know the receiver's reaction. Took me 3 weeks to find the perfect thing for them.

 

[Channy]

Mine is off as well - had to go through amazon.com to rip off the system and get cheaper international shipping. Should arrive likely after Christmas but not long after. Can't remember if I marked it as gift though so they may know it's me when it arrives

 

[Kionae]

Something hath arrived. Should I open it?

 

[Tennyo]

OPEN IT! I opened mine!

But there's no name!

How did you know I'd been wanting the NSFW deck???

Uncharted!

Who are you???

WHO LIVES IN ILLINOIS???

EDIT: Oh I know who...

 

[Kionae]

OPEN IT! I opened mine!

Yeah... I totally opened it.

Oooh... a card!

Sekrit Santa revealed!

OMGSTUFF!!!!

Pacman legos... check.

Super awesome pen tool... check.

Cool Zelda lanyard... check.

OMGCHOCOLATE!!!!

Who are you???

WHO LIVES IN ILLINOIS???

EDIT: Oh I know who...

Ha, ha... yeah... I got the whole thing packaged up and then realized my dumb ass didn't actually sign the card after I printed it.

 

[Lex]

I'm going digital this year so my sekrit santa can expect their gift(s) either on christmas eve or Christmas day

 

[Mage]

Glad you liked it! Wasn't sure if a gadget pen was gadgety enough. It had a spirit level though so I was sold.

 

[lithiumkatana17]

Uwaaaah people are opening their gifts!

I'm so glad y'all are happy!

 

[Cthulhu]

BTW, was there a budget or something set? I just bought a bunch of random crap and now wonder whether I got enough stuff

 

[Channy]

Budget was like.. 20-30$ right? I ended up getting one more thing after tricking the international amazon situation but still felt it wasn't enough. >_<

Also no card from me either so err... haha on you

 

[AvecAloes]

Yeah I found some really good sales on Amazon, but that also meant waiting longer for shipping since they weren&#8217;t Prime and well that means my gifts will be late and I&#8217;m sorrrryyyyyy :/

 

[Cthulhu]

Nah that works out just fine for me, as long as you don't count shipping

edit: actually come to think of it, I ordered a T-shirt off teefury right before black friday, then they had a black friday sale with 30% discount, so I contacted support and was like "wtf mate?", they said they returned the difference but I think they returned the whole price so err. Cheap holiday gifts coming to someone here

edit: nope it's the difference. Still $23 off of three shirts though.

 

[Carlie]

Spoiler: Something has arrived in the mail!

We will see what it is on Christmas.

 

[Flare]

This thread makes me so happy!

ALSO I just mailed off my gift today finally! Aaaaa! Someone's got a belated gift incoming

 

[Tennyo]

I don't understand how people can wait. I don't have that kind of will power.

 

[Channy]

I know, right? I opened mine from Flare last year the day it came.. like.. 2 weeks before Christmas.

 

[Flare]

I'm half and half on that. I love waiting til Christmas day to open gifts, but sometimes I also like to look at it as a special early gift that I'm allowed to open sooner and enjoy sooner.

 

[Mage]

BTW, was there a budget or something set? I just bought a bunch of random crap and now wonder whether I got enough stuff

No budget was set because no-one should feel pressure to spend money they can't afford or feel bad for homemade awesomeness. I was aiming for a small parcel because postage was always going to be a shit. If I'd had more time Kionae would've gotten a crocheted moogle hat.

Also it did occur to me that by sekrit Santa I shouldn't have signed the card from myself, but I ain't letting some fat fuck take credit for my hard work, I've had years of that from my ex.

 

[demonwolf]

Whew, I'm back.

Everyone's giving/getting such awesome gifts! Now I feel really bad about what I have prepared. orz I'm sorry, whoever my sekrit friend is.....t-2 days until delivery.
