Listen up. Let's do secret Santa, yeah?
I will organize. I just need Santas who are all about the secrets.
If you're in, post here and feel free to PM me your mailing address. Or don't, but then you probably won't get a present.
-
yeah! i'm in.
-
I'm down! Whats the price limit? Bearing in mind I am unemployed at the moment, maybe like £5/$8 (I am not really sure of conversions...)
-
Absolutely in.
-
yes okay me too
-
i mean if you dudes dont mind cheap ass and/or diy presents then yeah im in.
also uh im not trying to ship internationally, just sayin
-
Sean is a racist!
-
I'm down! Whats the price limit? Bearing in mind I am unemployed at the moment, maybe like £5/$8 (I am not really sure of conversions...)
Ain't a price limit, dogg. Someone wants to spend hundreds of dollars, cool. I imagine most would aim at $10-$30.
-
I'm in but only if people don't mind art gifts.
-
I'm in but only if people don't mind art gifts.
Oh and by the way, when's the last chance for signing up to this, and when's the deadline for shipping the goods around the world?
-
Oh I guess. But whoever I get had better like handmade things, candy, silly things, nerdy things, and so on. So there! I am forcing these things on one unlucky person and that's just how it's gonna be!
So long as that person is on this continent, because I am too poor to mail things over yonder seas.
-
In.
-
I'm in, but gonna have to stay continental too.
-
I'm in if Sean gets to be my Secret Santa so he can finally send me my GODDAMN ZEBRA CAKES.
-
DICKS
-
Obviously I'm in with Kat.
-
I'm in but only if people don't mind terrible gifts.
-
liz you will never get yr zebra cakes. ever
-
All the people who are hesitant about their gifts have way better tastes than I do, so I am totally in. Hope people like ThinkGeek stuff...
-
Obviously I'm in with Kat.
Damn that woman and not logging out!
-
I'm in, providing I don't get Jens or Kris as my Secret Santa (because that would be kind of silly).
-
Yeah, don't give me May either. I'm already getting her a present anyway!
-
If you guys could tell me if you want to do intercontinental shipping or not it would really help too.
I'm in! I will do my very best to personalise the present but I don't know how much money I can afford to spend on this so it'll probably be home made/really poor quality and/or a book from my shelf as an apology.
I feel like a homemade present is more personalized than buying a thing that you think someone would like.
-
screw personalized gifts, whoever gets me just write me a cheque for like $50 or $100 or whatever and i'll be happy
-
In, but can't ship over seas
EDIT: within the US is probably the best
-
IN
-
liz you will never get yr zebra cakes. ever
Fuck this shit.
-
If you don't want to run it from scratch, get everyone to sign up to www.elfster.com and use that instead. I'm running another secret santa through that and it is SUPER EASY. And you can ask questions of your Santee anonymously and stuff. It's pretty awesome.
-
I would be in it, but a) I am terrible at this stuff, and still have to buy my family presents, and b) no one seems to want to send anything overseas, so fuck all o' y'all.
But mainly option a.
-
I've never tried shipping anything overseas, how prohibitively expensive is it?
-
I am also kind of wondering about that, but I figure I've never done something like this before so I can suck it up in the name of having experiences and getting involved.
-
I am happy to ship to anywhere in the UK or Europe.
-
Yeah I'm in, but again I'd prefer to be shipping to the UK or Europe.
-
Priority shipping from the US to Canada or Mexico costs $11-$33, depending on how big the box. Off continent, it costs $13-$55. For the size of the box I was planning to fill, it'd be $27/$44 respectively. I don't really like the concept of shipping being more expensive than what I want to spend on secret santa gifts. Whereas that flat rate box in the US is about $5. So yeah. Mailing stuff is expensive!
-
Mm. Then... can I maybe set my preference to "Within the US preferred"? That may be fiscally wise.
-
Oh, sounds good! Shipping to Europe is fine with me (THE UK IS PART OF IT, GET OVER YOURELVES!)
-
Inskies, Jace. Prefer to stay within the US.
-
as much as I'd like sending something to Jens or whoever I think I should probably stick to shipping within the US.
-
Tomorrow morning at work I will see if my shipping discount applies to international shipping. If it does, I will gladly send stuff overseas. If not, US or Canada it is.
-
Yeah what Hannah said.
-
I'm gonna say this: If you've never done secret santa on here before, it's generally fun (Unless the US government loses a ballin' ass guitar pedal you bought for Patrick, and apparently Kris' gift too).
Last time I was in, I ended up getting some really funky stuff from Emilio, the best of which was two mix CDs, with tracklistings written on a roll of toilet paper.
-
I am fine with sending to our poor, poor Ozn pals
-
So I know I haven't been active in the forum in a while, but I am totally in for Secret Santa. I want to give you guys presents.
-
Yeah my gift went walkabouts too and that was just internal to the UK! Not impressed, Royal Mail. I wanted that gift!
-
GET IT SORTED, MAIL CARRIERS OF THE WORLD.
edit: Kat! Welcome back!
-
i'll ship international, it's all good. a couple of weeks without donuts can't be too hard.
-
I'm in. Would prefer to stick to the US/Canada.
(Liz I will mail you zebracakes anytime you ask. (and pay for postage))
-
no dude you can't.
liz can never have her satisfaction.
-
Okay, people who have said they are in that I still need shipping info from:
tania
allison
sean
andy
Linds
Steve/Kat (do you guys want to be one person or two people for this?)
Wasteroo
SirJuggles
May
Katie
october1983
Shane
Kat: version vegkit
Matt
Still need the name to ship to for:
blanktom
blue kitty
Also, I'm adding in that if you guys don't get anything because, for example, someone is a jerk or something gets lost in the post, I will find a gift to send out to you so that you aren't left out. It might be a miniature that I painted or something else useless like that.
-

Dude yeah I'm still fuckin annoyed at the Yoo Ess Gubbament for not only losing a one-of-a-kind thing but also making me feel bad
Kris I am still down to replace what was lost, although yr new address is probably better to send it to than yr old one
-
Jace I sent you my address and stuff
-
Kat and I are okay to ship international. We'll get ya our physical address sometime today.
-
My address is in yr inbox, killing yr messages.
-
hey jace, when are we tryin to get these things mailed out?
-
yeah, it actually depends on that whether I can do this or not, because I am a walking time bomb of stress before the 4th of december. want to do it though.
-
oh yeah uh i don't know if i will be able to mail anything with the guarantee that it will actually arrive before christmas since i too am fairly busy until the 16th of december and incredibly stupidly balls ass busy until the 8th but if you don't mind a late gift i can at least give you my sincere guarantee that i will send you something. whoever you are.
-
Address sent!
-
Good to ship anywhere. Let's do this.
-
I would hope to have things sent out by the beginning of December, but I guess it doesn't really matter much as I decided to start it a bit late, hell, if no one minds, try to get it sent out by like the 20th? I think that is the deadline for xmas shipping in the US to make sure it meets its destination.
-
Yeah, I'll have mine out by the 17th at the latest.
-
clarify for me: is "DICKS, DICKS EVERYWHERE" the theme

Here are some more: Memes, memes everywhere (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/x-x-everywhere)
-
I'm broke this year, so US only for me. I love Secret Santa. Well, I guess I could spring for canada, too. I'm close enough to drive to Sarnia and ship it from there.
-
Actually, i said id ship just Europe, but eh, worldwide is fun to :)
-
Okay, people who have said they are in that I still need shipping info from:
october1983
Still need the name to ship to for:
blanktom
blue kitty
Wasteroo
Vegkitkat
Gonna be sending out the pairs tonight probably, and will then forward the info on. Right now I have 21 people, with october1983's (I forget your name, but I swear I knew it at one time) I'll have 22 exactly, which is perfect.
-
Dicky.
-
WOOO it is GO TIME
-
Mwahahahahaha. Brilliant, Jace. BRILLIANT.
-
yesssssssss
Edit: Goddammit this means I have to ship christmas things twice.
-
Went out and got the first part of my thing today. Trying to think of how to kick it up to the next level...
-
i'll ship international, it's all good. a couple of weeks without donuts can't be too hard.
This is funny because you're studying criminology.
-
Is it too late to get in on this? I know I owe Patrick some cardboard boxes still. Empty ones mostly.
-
Well, right now I've got perfect matches, but if we get another couple people it'd work great
-
If you do need a couple of people I'd like to participate. Only if it wouldn't screw up the numbers though.
Is that okay? I am trustworthy I promise!
-
Well, right now I've got perfect matches, but if we get another couple people it'd work great
But wouldn't it be pretty obvious who the new people are santaing for?
-
Yes, but I wouldn't care because it's a present that comes in the mail! I like receiving things in the mail.
Also, I am probably not going to be able to shop for another two weeks, but I should have it mailed by the second week of December at the latest!
-
I have no idea what I'm sending, but I'm going to the Christmas market in Edinburgh on Saturday, hopefully I'll get some ideas then! I'll try to get it sent next week anyway.
-
Is it too late to get in on this? I know I owe Patrick some cardboard boxes still. Empty ones mostly.
Hartley, I'll do that for you. I need to send him a CD anyway.
-
But wouldn't it be pretty obvious who the new people are santaing for?
Well, ideally, if I had another 2 people beyond hartley, I could be included and also have a small 4 person pool to mix it up.
-
Forgot mah name
Fuck, can't believe I forgot my name.
I have a good idea what I am going to get my person already.
-
Well, right now I've got perfect matches, but if we get another couple people it'd work great
Fuck it, I'll do it so Hartley can get in on it. And dude I ain't need no boxes, I actually don't really own any furniture other than boxes
-
BUTTS!
/
:mrgreen:
(oops thought I hit PM)
-
I am going to ship out our Secret Santa gift tomorrow
It is the best gift.
-
Jace, you should probably take that down and PM it. So you know, Roddy doesn't get a stalker. Or creepy things in the mail.
-
Linds, you might also want to change your phrasing so that you don't accidentally give the game away. ;)
-
Nah, Linds doesn't give anything away other than that Roddy is gonna get a present. I accidentally posted his address in here thinking I was sending a PM.
-
Fuck it, I'll do it so Hartley can get in on it. And dude I ain't need no boxes, I actually don't really own any furniture other than boxes
(You need as many boxes as possible so we can film the movie we may or may have not come up with while I was inebriated.)
Also, whoever is my partner will also probably be getting a gift a little late considering I can't send the present until after pay day. Ughhh working.
-
Secret Santa gift is officially sent. For the first time in the history of anything Kat and I were first I think!
-
o/
-
\o
-
Awww <3
-
I am putting together a pretty sweet package, guys.
-
It's nice working at Target where basically everything is 10% off for employees
Opens up a lot of options
-
For those of you who can't figure out what to get (http://www.dirtypillowz.net/).
-
Wow. Just...wow. I mean...wow.
:psyduck:
-
So is anyone wrapping their stuff? I think I have everything together that will compromise my package, but I hadn't really thought of wrapping paper. Like... I was gonna "wrap" it in the box that I shipped it in...
-
That was my plan.
I suck at wrapping gifts, anyway.
-
Meh. I usually just put some festive tissue paper in the box or something. Or put stickers on the box because Christmas stickers from the 90s ROCK.
-
The box I send it in is good enough, just be glad I don't put snakes and spiders inside.
-
Dang it BK now I have to go change my gift.
-
It will be fine as long as they aren't venomous, poisonous is ok though
-
Just to update here (and in case people haven't seen my posts in other threads that would give this away), I have received my gift, and it is AWESOME.
I am sending mine out Monday. It will be sweet.
-
We were a little nervous it would't make it through customs. So glad it did!
-
Honestly,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUBgx-4B7fc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUBgx-4B7fc)
Yeah. It came.
-
That was pretty friggin amazing.
-
Wait, how does this Secret Santa thing work? We tell people who we got? We're supposed to sign the cards? What?
-
I may have ruined it all.
Either/or, it worked for me.
There's another entirely embarassring Youtibe video coming up.
EDIT OH GOD AN EDIT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxlIG2K1NgY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxlIG2K1NgY) So yeah, I AM DRUNK AND DANCING.
-
So glad the office is empty and that I could watch that:D
-
Dawg, I thought you were saving the lemonade flavour.
-
My gift probably won't be going out for a little while. So. Much. Schoolwork.
Sorry, person!
-
Can we still sign up for Secret Santa? I mean it's only the 7th. I would really like to do this. You said something earlier about a website? but when I clicked on it it said it didn't exist?
-
I think everyone's already been assigned someone. You'll have to PM Jace to ask him.
My gift-to-be-sent arrived today! So I just gotta put some festive edibles and whatnot in the box and then I'll be able to ship it!
-
My gift should be sent out some time after Friday. Not sure if I want to send it via UPS or plain old USPS
-
The way things are looking, my gift will be shipped out on Monday.
Unless I blow my money on Red Sox tickets this weekend. Then it will be shipped next Friday.
-
My gift will be sent out as soon as it darned well actually arrives here... Grrr! It could have WALKED here more quickly.
-
May did you get someone a puppy?
-
..... no
-
(IT IS A SECRET)
-
Note: My present is NOT the kitten that I posted photos of in the pet thread. Get your own dang kittens!
-
Package sent 8-)
-
I bought part of my gift the other day. I kind of wish I knew more about the person I'm sending to.
To that end, I'll tell you a little about me.
I have been taking classical guitar lessons for a year, I knit a lot and buy yarn even more than I knit, and I'm in the S.C.A.
I like chocolate and curry, but not together.
My favorite fruit is grapefruit.
I like bourbon and beer, but not together.
-
Edith, you should come for a visit. Yes yes.
-
Hmm...what are you doing on christmas day? Lisa and I could drive over...
-
Going home, haha. I'll be housesitting for my cousin from Dec 16 - Jan 1, so you're more than welcome to come down on any other time. And then after that I'll be back at my apt and weekends are free game.
-
I work a lot, but we should figure something out.
...but probably not on here. SECRET SANTA!
Everybody tell us what you like! Because I don't know what my person wants, so they might not get much.
-
My secret santa gift is not going to arrive til after christmas boooo. (But it will be special and sealed with love-sellotape)
-
I like books, beer, baking and moustaches.
-
Allison, if you were my person I would totally get you a moustache (http://www.shopplasticland.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=P00615502&Category_Code=Jewelry). So you could always be ready for a moustachioed occasion.
-
My gift... is not very well customized to the person I am sending it too. It's just stuff that I saw and thought was nifty, and really hope they appreciate it.
-
My gift has not even started to be assembled yet, on account of I just took my last final exam and my mate just wound up in hospital, so. It will probably arrive after Christmas. Whatever.
Suck it up, person!
-
I don't know my person very well either, so I got them something winter themed they might have fun with.
My interests (if this helps) are cute things, reading, generally nerdiness, and candy.
-
My interests are the same as Linds'.
On my end, though, presents have been purchased. It will be sent out when exams/living in the lab are done.
-
I like sex, drugs, and rock & roll.
Except less drugs, only certain kinds of rock, and I am not allowed to have sex with anyone except my boyfriend. So.
-
just handed in my last term paper for the semester! i still have a final exam next week (a 30 page single spaced paper AND three hour final for the same statistics course? talk about overkill) and i have about 50 exams and 50 papers to mark by tuesday but damnit, i need to sleep and take a day off from this shit before i really lose my mind so i'm gonna head downtown tomorrow and shop around and hopefully have my gift assembled and mailed out by the end of the week. sorry secret santa-ee! i haven't forgotten about you! my life just really blows right now.
-
i mean i asked jace to give me a pretty girl so im presuming i got a pretty girl and since girls on this foum can knit or whatever i am basically expecting a hat. or socks. or whatever.
-
whoever got sean please make it this hat

-
I work a lot, but we should figure something out.
...but probably not on here. SECRET SANTA!
Everybody tell us what you like! Because I don't know what my person wants, so they might not get much.
Punk rawk and PBR and stuff. Triangely shaped guitar picks. Random-ass 7" records.
-

Well then you ought to be posting your head size or foot size or whatever size, shouldn't you?
-
tania if i get that do i have to be naked too?
(size 11 feet and i have kind of a big head)
-
Well apparently my person already had some trouble finding stuff for me, and I'm really hoping my response helped. If not...
I like candy/sweet things. I like food, but that's not usually easy to send through the mail. I like clothes and music and reading and nifty stuff to play with and fun things to look at. Umm... let's be honest, I just like the thought of getting stuff from cool people.
Also, I have all my items together, but the post office sold me a flattened box and I HAVE NO TAPE.
-
Also, I have all my items together, but the post office sold me a flattened box and I HAVE NO TAPE.
Steal some from your place of work/study. If you don't have either, then a GET A JOB you goddamn hippie!
-
...I am stealing one of the the terrifying tape guns we have at work and blaming it on the internet if I get caught.
-
It's ok, presents are important. Also, the internet is the best scapegoat.
-
The internet may not be the best excuse when crossing an international border. Border guards don't understand internet friendships. :/
-
Yeah, no, that is a bad idea.
-
Really? I always found the border guards fairly sympathetic when I said I was heading to Toronto to hang out with people I met on the internet...But, then, I guess I look pretty harmless.
What I'm saying is Pink Hair Is Terrifying! (oh noes)
-
You told us not to say that. Especially after Katie and Mai's car got searched for saying that. We were meeting "friends". We just didn't say where those friends were from.
The American border guard really liked you, though.
-
"Where do you know these people from?"
"The internet."
"Where on the internet?"
"Um, a site called Questionable Content..."
"You're not here for G20 are you?"
"No."
"Hmmm...." [Selects car for extra searching with reason selected as "G20?"]
-
I have a patheti-sad story about my most recent border crossing.
Mike and I had just broken up, and I was kind of a mess about it. I went up to visit Tania and to get the rest of my crap that I'd left at his house, which I got at the end of the weekend and then had to hit the road and get back in time for work on Monday. I think I left TO around 4pm, which was going to put me home at 1 if I didn't stop at all, but I was already emotionally drained and I knew it was not going to be good.
I came back through Windsor/Detroit and the border guard was a grandfatherly type with a huge mustache. He asked the purpose of my visit and I burst into tears. Trying to talk over huge snotty sobs, I managed to choke out, "I had to go get my stuff back from my ex-boyfriend." He talked to me for a couple minutes, trying to calm me down, and then when it looked like I was safe to drive again, he let me go through. I only clearly remember one thing he said, which was "You know there are thousands of single guys that live a lot closer to you than Toronto."
-
Supplies for present bought today! I'll make it tomorrow and send it off on Monday. Person, it might be a little late, but it will hopefully be worth it!
-
Eedie come visit me so that your most recent border crossing story can be happier!
-
Alli, that's a fantastic idea. I think my passport has expired, though, so I will have to work on that. Expired or not, it's in my married name and therefore needs updating.
-
Aw Edith that's a really cute story, I think. Never underestimate the healing power of a mustachioed, grandfatherly type.
-
All hail the power of the moustache.
-
"Where do you know these people from?"
"The internet."
"Where on the internet?"
"Um, a site called Questionable Content..."
"You're not here for G20 are you?"
"No."
"Hmmm...." [Selects car for extra searching with reason selected as "G20?"]
"Is there a child missing? On the floor or something?"
"no, she's right there"
"What are you going there to do?"
"Eat poutine"
"Is that a French joke? We don't like those up here"
"no, really we've never had it!"
BEST TRIP EVER
:mrgreen:
-
Yeah Mai and I told the border guards we were meeting people from the internet. When they searched my car they found an exploded box of baking soda and my spinning wheel and were like "do you always carry this around with you?" but by the time we got to the next person who asked, I wised up and said we were going to a convention.
-
Yeah when I got to LA airport I was all "Yeah I'm visiting some friends...Where do I know these friends from?....They came to Australia once and we stayed in contact?..."
-
One time I was fifteen and flying alone to Canada to (legitimately!) visit my best friend and her family at their cabin.
The border guards detained me for, like, 2 hours because they were convinced I was running away to go live with someone I'd met on the Internet. WTF. :psyduck:
-
hey so i'm still waiting for my secret santa present from 2008. or it might have been 2007. either way, i think it's kind of late and i've moved 6 times since then. so yeah. hi guys.
-
Hi Yelley!
-
i'm gonna head downtown tomorrow and shop around and hopefully have my gift assembled and mailed out by the end of the week
yeah i uh um i really underestimated how long these papers would take to mark and didn't get a chance to do this. looks like my gift's gonna be mailed out on the 16th or 17th. fuck, i am really bad at this. sorry for signing up for this everyone, i really did not take into account how hectic my december would be.
-
Just sent off my package! It may show up a little late, so apologies there. I hope you enjoy it!
-
The package to my secret santa probably won't get mailed out until after xmas because I just do not have the money yet but I have another job to get more money. Don't sweat the timeline people, it is more about getting something at somepoint, I think!
-
Oh yeah, so I was all set to send mine out this morning before work. But it turns out the lazy butts at the post office don't feel like working on Saturday, so that didn't happen. Hopefully mine will go out as soon as I get home on Monday.
-
Whoever ended up with me! If you are going to be late (as in, if the package will arrive wherever after January 3rd), you will need to send it to me in Montreal. I'm pretty sure I gave Jace my parent's address in Vancouver, which is where I'll be over Christmastime, once exams end in a week and a bit. If this is going to be a problem, let Jace know I guess and I'll make sure the right address gets to you.
-
Alright, package is go!! The woman at the post office was particularly nice to me about my lack of knowledge regarding shipping packages.
-
I just got my package! It is the raddest thing. Allison, you are the best. I squealed with joy when I opened it.

-
You're welcome! I'm glad you like it, I didn't know if it would be too cheesy!
-
I am all about the cheese. The rest of the people in the chem department are going to be so jealous.
-
My person's gift has not arrived here yet and I leave the country in like three days so it might not get posted out until the start of January :( POSTAL FAIL. I ordered it ages ago! Then again I ordered something in like October which still hasn't arrived (but that is coming from Japan I guess).
When I went out to visit the Internet I don't think they asked me why I knew Eed, but I had been briefed not to tell them anyway so I think Edith is my cousin or something on the paperwork. I'm guessing they won't ask me why I'm travelling when I go to Norway but if they do I'll just say "oh yeah we just kind of met in Indiana this one time".
-
Everybody on the internet wants to be related to me.
-
Everybody on the internet wants to have relations with me.
-
Except me, who made her sleep in a tent outside.
Eed is creepy, dudes.
-
hey guys, just a warning, its looking more and more like my gift is going to be sent out terribly late
so uh, yeah heads up sorry person who doesn't know who they are! :C
-
I thought my gift package came today, instead it was the Doctor Who Tardis Cookie Jar I ordered for my girlfriend.
That reminds me. Edith, are you still in the Mitten?
-
Dude why didn't you get me a TARDIS jar?
I thought we were tight.
-
You be macking on my bitches, and that just ain't cool
-
My secret Santa will be shipped out Friday afternoon.
But yo Patrick, that gift we were talking about, it's shipped.
-
Circumstances relating to my time have complicated things. Fuck working retail in a high-traffic store. So hard. My work schedule has completely fucked my sleep schedule and has made it to where I haven't seen more than a half hour of daylight in a week.
Should have something out on my day off though.
-
I am just proud that I have a plan at this point. I was so terrible at this last year, it was like January before my gift shipped.
-
Package sent! More of a giant padded envelope really, but whatever man. Hopefully at this point the person should get it in like, a week I think? *crosses fingers*
-
I have money now, so I'm going to try to send out my package tomorrow!
-
Oh I almost forgot. To whoever has me: My family is leaving tomorrow to visit relatives in New Mexico for a week. So I won't get any packages at least until I get back on the 24th. Which is totally ok! :-)

I have all the stuff together to send mine, but there was this cute kid at the store where I bought it who wanted to gift-wrap it, and then I put it under my tree when I got home and it looks so nice to have presents there! So I am not going to mail mine out until the 27th and it should arrive around the 30th. I'm shipping domestically.
So, somebody who lives in the USA, you'll get it before 2011, I think.
Also, BK, I have never lived IN the mitten, but I'm about an hour south of it, so I go there a good bit. Going to Ka'zoo for Christmas, in fact!
-
I'm shipping my gift out after work today.
The post office is near the movie theater. Makes seeing Mark Wahlberg with a Boston accent very simple.
-
I'll be doing my best to get it out in the next day or two!
I have a couple things, but want to fill it out.
Sorry if it is delayed.
-
Matt from Michigan, I don't know who you are here but I got my book today and it is awesome! Thank you!
-
I imagine that would be Blue Kitty.
-
Ah yes, there is that VG Cat avatar as one of his facebook pictures. The book is about mice!
-
Lunchy, why you gotta ruin the surprise? Then again the avatar was a big give away. Glad you like it Rose.
-
first post in a while to say that my package is probably going to go out a little late because finals were crazy and right after they finished being crazy I got really horribly sick and kinda stayed that way for a while
so uh sorry person
-
Thank you for the comfort package, (vegkit)Kat! Socks are the bestest and I am stoked about the Smarties! (Those are a pain to find here, because we have Smarties but they are a completely different candy.)
-
By the way, person that gets my gift:
I have awful-ass handwriting. If you can't make something out, shoot me a PM.
-

hey secret santa, just a heads up, if you haven't sent my gift yet, take yr time cause on thursday im not gonna be at my house until like the first, so dont worry about rushing or anything. if you have sent it, then, hey, whatever.
my secret santa, uh, i have no idea when i can send yrs out. :c i am terrible i am sorry.
-
I have not sent mine out either, but that is ok. If the US Postal Service is to be believed, though, it will still arrive before Christmas is actually over! (On the 6th of January, of course.)
However, today there was a surprise for me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOPFifLa4EI) in my mailbox!

JOHN HOW DID YOU GET ME TWICE
SERIOUSLY LAST TIME WE DID THIS YOU GOT ME
HOW
PS SWEETEST THINGS EVER Except for the chocolate, I don't eat chocolate, I hate it, but I will regift it to my mom who loves chocolate.
PPS Except that this book reminds me that there weren't that many awesome hardcore girls getting rep'ped
PPPS Which makes me sad
-
Dear person i have for the secret santa thing, I havent gotten around to it yet! However, i will be heading to Serbia for christmas, so who knows what i might pick up! :)
-
How is it that almost everyone is terrible at getting gifts out at time?
-
Kat and I even got ours out on time and we're the worst at time in general.
-
Some of us have no money! Or get sick at inconvenient times. Or are just terrible about getting to a post office in general.
All three of those are true right now.
-
Secret santa-ee, I was the last person they let into the post office before locking the door yesterday. They say it will take 2-3 days, so you are looking at either tomorrow or Monday, I guess. And if anything doesn't make it, some hot glue should take care of it.
-
Yeah, I'm hoping to get my gift in the mail tomorrow, but obviously won't be there for a bit as it's got to travel some distance - between having no money because I didn't have a job, and then having no time because I started a job, it's been hard to get stuff done in time, sorry! But I will try to get it all sorted as soon as possible.

Huh, so it was! Blame Jace. Boooooo Jace.
But yeah, I'm glad you liked it! Sorry about the chocolate! I couldn't well ask you, so. I'll make it up to you next Xmas!
As for myself, I am going to be gone until the 3rd, so if my package comes in the meantime I will not know it!
-
I just drew names from a hat.
I actually wrote down all of your names, cut them up and put them into my hat.
fucking old school
Anyways, yeah my present is going to be sent out after xmas because of no-time-no-money issues that will be resolved soon.
-
I will try and send mine tomorrow but if not immediately after christmas and I'm sorry.
Whoever has me, if you can't send it or haven't sent it and it should arrive after January 3rd, you'll need to send it to a different address. I guess let Jace know if that's the case?
-
dude did you get your box yet? i was not about to spent sixty damn dollars on the trackable shipping so i hope it got to you okay.
-
Dear Shane, I would like to thank you for the amazing package you sent me. It is really really lovely and I have shown off my Kate Beaton book to every person I know, like it is a new baby or something. You are the best and I hope you get something equally as lovely.
<3
-
Sooo... My break actually just ended, so I'm back at school now. If my person hasn't sent their package yet I can totally drop the new address on you no probs. And if it's in the mail now and I left just a day too soon, well... eh no biggy, I'll be home to visit in a few weeks anyway so I'll get an awesome reminder of Christmas!
-
That reminds me. I must post my secret santa gift.
-
Yeah, I am terrible! I had mine almost done in Norway and I was going to send it out fairly soon, but I managed to go back to Glasgow and forgot to bring the present. Now I have to figure out something else, and on top of that I'm really sick, so person, I am so, so sorry for being this terribly late, this sucks! Oh, and whoever has me, if you haven't sent out the package yet you should probably pm Jace or something and get my UK address, since I'm not in Norway anymore.
-

Cheers! You probably shouldn't treat a book like a baby, though.
-
Oh noooooo I got return to sender.
-
dude did you get your box yet? i was not about to spent sixty damn dollars on the trackable shipping so i hope it got to you okay.
Woo Rosie Woo! I now have TWO xmas decorations! (the other is a frosty the snowman towel on my oven door handle.) Thanks so much!
(Sorry, haven't been on the forums/this thread in a while.)
(to my secret santa person -- sorry I am lazy I have everything (it's not much and just a random collection of things I think are funny) but haven't sent it yet. This week hopefully!)
-
Yayyy I am so glad you got it/like it! I was afraid it was kinda a cop-out.
-
To my secret santa person -- your package has been fedex'd.
-
I am sorry my santa but I am like $300+ dollars in debt and I am working on getting you something it will happen by end of Jan for sure!
-
Santa gift totally posted today - all with a letter in with it as well, written in classic, old-school biro. Should arrive in 5 or 6 working days.
-
To my secret santa person -- your package has been fedex'd.
Oh Matt you make me so happy.
(yay FedEx!)
-
I mailed mine today. It was supposed to have a little box of "Magic Mushrooms" but they didn't fit in the flat-rate box and it was about to cost 2X as much to ship, so I ate them. They were chocolate with crispy cookie stems.
-
To my secret santa person -- your package has been fedex'd.
Oh Matt you make me so happy.
(yay FedEx!)
If only you could have gotten me a discount...
-
I could ship something to you with my discount? That's about it.
-
I sent mine today too! It's a good day for gifts, and Christmas doesn't even end til tomorrow so we just made it!
I nearly didn't manage to fit it in the padded bag though, and I had already written the address on a bag I hadn't yet paid for - but I got it to fit by sheer will power. I hope my person is feeling strong when it arrives!
-
PERSON I AM SENDING A GIFT TO I WILL DO THAT SOON PROMISES AND WHATEVER
hey person who is send a gift to me if you think you are not going to get it to me by january 9th TELL JACE because i will go back to school january 9th and you will need a new address.
-
I could ship something to you with my discount? That's about it.
YES. THIS. YOU MUST SHIP ME THINGS.
-
I finally shipped my gift today - sorry about the delay, Secret Santee!
-
OKAY MATT WHAT SHOULD I SHIP YOU?
CURRENTLY I HAVE... A LOT OF SNOW.
-
Every little child wants a beautifully-Fedex'd box of snow for Christmas.
-
Make snow balls and fedex them really, hard, maybe they'll hit his head. Snow ball fight!
-
I am useless and my gift is going out tomorrow. Promise! Sorry to my person!
Whoever had me, I'm in Montreal now and I think Jace had my parents address in Vancouver. Jace, can you confirm this? If you've already sent it though, whoever you are, I'm sure my parents can forward it to me.
-
Man, I wonder if you could spring load a snowball in a box. Dude opens it up and BAM right in the face.
-
PERSON I AM SENDING A GIFT TO I WILL DO THAT SOON PROMISES AND WHATEVER
hey person who is send a gift to me if you think you are not going to get it to me by january 9th TELL JACE because i will go back to school january 9th and you will need a new address.
so hey about this so i am now back at school so if you shipped my gift to the address i gave, im probably not gonna see it for a couple months. i dont mind though so hey, whatever.
-
okay so my secret santa was a person who had a different address for the holidays but the problem is that i already posted my gift so if you haven't received it yet... well to be honest i'm not sure where it is or when it's going to get to you or who (if anyone) is gonna be there to receive it. it's a little worrying cos i put a lot of work into it. i pmed jace like a week ago about it but he never got back to me so i guess i'll wait a few more days and if i don't hear anything by next week i guess that'll be time to finally to ruin the surprise and just contact the person i got to find out what the holiday address situation is cos really, at this point i just kind of want to make sure it hasn't been lost in the mail and if it's on its way is actually going to be received by someone.
-
Person! I am terribly sorry about the lateness. I have it, I just need to wait until I get paid. I am going to try to post it next week and as far as I know, I have the right address. (Sorry about all this, but not working for a month and then going back to school made my budget kind of tight and I need books and food and rent.)
-
Lost-in-the-post gifts are awful, I once sent someone a pot of herpes but it somehow went to the wrong house so I guess some undergrad called Sarah was a bit confused.
-
a pot of herpes
I'm sorry what
-
You heard her, May just gives everyone's herpes. She's horrible.

Oh hey I talked to them sorry, it is going to their parents house and then it will be reposted over to them.
Guys I think there are some of you that need new addresses for your Santas but I have been really busy lately with work, if you have moved since the holidays (and not got a gift) and I haven't axed you yet, just send me a message with your updated address so I can forward it to your respective santas
-
oh thanks jace! sorry i was kind of a dick about it, i was kind of on edge when i wrote that cos having gifts get lost in the mail really stinks and this is one i really don't want to get lost. hopefully it's still intact and has maybe just been delayed in customs or something. sorry person! i swear it's really on it's way!
-
It is def okay tania, I saw you like 3 times in meebo even though I knew about it and yet I still forgot to tell you.
-
Ugh I completely did not have time to send mine at ALL but I have it, it is just waiting at home.
Home is California though and I am not back until Saturday, I swear I am absolutely the worst person ever with time management and basically everything.
-
I sent mine and maybe the person has gotten it by now, you should have, so tell me if you like it. I hope you like it!
Also, where the hell is my gift!? Somebody better get off their ass and send me something because Jesus Christ people it's already the 12th of January! (13th in Australia probably).
I WANT PRESENTS.
-
My present arrived yesterday! It was an excellent book that I am already enjoying a lot! Thanks May, I am sorry it couldn't be delivered in person, that would've been an excellent Secret Santa reveal.
My gift is on its way, but it has a long way to go, sorry!
-
I'm sorry to echo Edith's sentiments, but with every passing day I grow less and less sure a present is coming for me.
-
I sent mine and maybe the person has gotten it by now, you should have, so tell me if you like it. I hope you like it!
-
Oh god I am still so fucking poor. On Monday I'll reveal the santree but hopefully I can get mine out Saturday.
-
I'm sorry to echo Edith's sentiments, but with every passing day I grow less and less sure a present is coming for me.
That and the limited pressing of the new Look Mexico album from Suburban Home. I guess when the site said "by christmas" they meant next christmas.
-
Oh god oh god I'm sorry person I am useless I am going to bike home and put it in the mail
-
So I don't know who is my santa person (that is kinda the point), and I don't know if you have sent it or not yet. But santa, I just want to tell you, if you haven't sent it: That is totally ok. It is just a gift thing from a forum. Right now it's kinda like a mystery, and I am okay with mysteries. Relax, send it whenever is convenient for you, and I will get an awesome present surprise somewhere down the line. I am in no hurry.
-
SEND MY GODDAMN PRESENT ALREADY!
(You quite possibly already have, I am currently on another land mass several hundred miles away from my home address so it will be a mid-February present anyway!)
-
okay okay secret santa, i am REALY sorry. i was going to get yr present and ship it out this weekend, but do to some unfortunate stuff that just happened to me, I just lost a whole bunch of money, which I was going to use for this. so, i will take care of this as soon as i can, but its gonna have to wait a little bit longer. ill figure something out, i promise. i am sorry though i probably should not have done this, i barely ever have enough money to take care of myself, let alone buy gifts for people.
-
Alright guys and gals, Final Destination here:
If you haven't received a gift yet, go ahead and let me know here so I can form a list and then check with your santa's and let you know the status of gifting. If your santa is a jerk I will just send you guys a McDonalds kids meal toy and a sexy photo as a consolation prize.
-
hey, uh, i know i never signed up for this thing, but can i get in on that too?
-
Totally! PM me your address.
-
I fear both my santa and santee's gifts have fallen by the wayside in transit. Certainly, I've sent mine (the post office promised me it'd arrive in Buffalo in 5 to 7 days too! cheeky mongrels) and perhaps the same delay has happened to any incoming parcel headed my way?
-
yeah i sent mine a few days before christmas (on the 22nd, i think) and paid a pretty hefty price to ensure it would arrive at its destination within 5-10 business days so i gotta admit, i am a little bummed this was apparently a big lie and it still hasn't gotten there yet. part of my gift included delicious food items so the only thing i can assume at this point is that maybe it was delayed in customs for some reason or another but otherwise i guess all i can really do now is just pray it gets there eventually.
-
My gift is yet to arrive here, but that might be because of address shenanigans.
-
Yeah I have received no gift yet, but I'm away from my address for the weekend and will return to check on Tuesday. If the person is just late in sending it I really don't care, I'd only feel bad if someone's thing got lost in the mail.
-
I'm just going to end your confusion SirJuggles - it's not lost, I just don't have any money to send it. Not being able to work for a month and then being landed with rent, school expenses, and other shit has me strapped really thin. I have your gift, I promise! And it will get sent! But it's going to be a while longer. I've got your address and everything, too.
-
The great thing is that actually if we are doing this as a Christmas thing, we're not as late as we all feel because the gifts given to Jesus were given by the wise men and they turned up like three years late, plus Epiphany is in January anyway so don't feel bad!
-
Wait why are you talking about Jesus in a Christmas thread I don't understand :psyduck:
-
Haha I love that hula girl. When I got here they still had their nativity out and I swear there was an orange dragon in it (they claim it's a donkey but no donkey is that shade or that scaly).
-
My family loves putting things in the tiny nativity scene we own, and by my family I mean me.
I usually put weird Yu Gi Oh figures I have from being a kid, like Exodia the Forbidden, Obelisk the Tormentor, the Winged Dragon of Ra, or Slifer the Sky Dragon
This year I went with the tiny talking Dalek.

Ok cool :-) Thanks for letting me know. Sorry to hear about money stuffs, just take it easy and send it whenever.

Letting you know, asshat. Have not got mine.
-
Well, now I feel like kind of a jerk for whining about it...but anyhow, I don't have anything yet.
-
Sorry Jace, I thought I was supposed to PM you. But I have not gotten my gift yet.
-
Kat and I are also giftless as of yet.
-
I also still owe Kat and Roddy their dinosaur prizes. They have been wrapped and ready to go under my bed for months. Soon, guys.
-
i am giftless as well, but that may not be anyones fault and may be simply because of unfortunate circumstances.
though i am terrible too, so such is the way things go.
-
I have not sent my gift yet. I do not have any money at all! I am so sorry. I am going to my parents' this weekend, so I am going to try and get ahold of a padded envelope there. I don't know what all I can send because I am broke, but I will think of something.
-
Just got my package! Thanks bunches to Jeans, who provided some very ripping (and very cold) Norwegian chocolate, and a book of essays curated by Hitch! I've been needing something to make me feel smarter and I think that this is just the thing!
-
Today I walked in and, to my surprise, there was a box sitting on my kitchen table. What could it be? Why it was the gift my Secret Santa had sent me. I could tell you folks about what I got from this kind person, but I'd rather show you all pictures. Sorry about my lack of photography skills

-
yo did you get my shit or not?
-
If it was me, not yet.
-
Also not yet if me and Kat were the recipients.
-
Also not yet
-
Oh hey, santa, apparently my package arrived AGES AGO at home, but my mom completely neglected to tell me or send it to me, even though I told her it was important! Jens is handling it now and will send it tomorrow, so it'll be here in about a week's time. Stupid parents!
-
ITT: Kris and Jens' mom sucks at secret santa
-
A parcel arrived for me today! I got super-excited that it might be my Santa gift but it was not. It was equally exciting though - a DVD of the Footlights Panto I worked on but never saw! So to my Santa, if you have not yet sent the gift do not worry, an exciting parcel arrived at about the time I thought I might get a Santa gift and any future Santa gifts will therefore be a bonus excitement!
And if you have sent it ages ago, please tell me so that I can rail against a postal service which has lost my Santa gift twice in two years.
-
I am not all that miffed that my santa has possibly disappeared into the ether or has just forgotten/is broke.
I am miffed, however, at the god damn post office lady who told me my santa-recipient would have their sweet sweet present in 5 to 7 working days? What the hell bullshit is that. Santipient, do you have your present yet? I am guessing probably no. Because the goddamn Post Office is a fountain of sorrow, regret and disappointment.
-
If your stuff was sent to America, the recent weather troubles have caused no small amount of postal mayhem - I had packages shipped two months ago that showed up today. Usually it takes ~1-2 weeks.
-
I believe it was lost in the warp roddy.
Guys who didn't get presents, so sorry, I've been really busy lately working every goddamn day. Still trying to figure out how to send things out to people who didn't get things.
Also Jens, your santa needs your school address so he can send you your present.
-
I believe it was lost in the warp roddy.
The Emperor Delivers!
Got a scarf in the mail from the UK today sent by a one Roddy McForumite!
Thanks so much, I love it!
-
It is March. Steve and I still got no present. So sad :( The Saddest :( First out last in?
-
I didn't get one either, and my person, some kid in Portland or Colorado or one of those hippy places, must have not gotten mine either. Although the USPS is usually pretty reliable. Anybody know if Wasteroo really exists? He hasn't been on here for ages.
Wonder if I'll ever know who was supposed to send to me?
-
i will not lie, i am one of those dicks who has never sent a present (i honestly forgot about this oops) but i haven't gotten anything either. i dunno after spring break ill try to go to my towns general store or something and find some goofy handmade thing to send out.
-
This is exactly why I didn't sign up this year. Secret Santa is full of DISAPPOINTMENT.

-
(http://homecookingrocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/zebra-cake1.jpg)
Yeah, but this looks better.
-
I kinda still wanna get involved in the next time we do a gift exchange thingy, as long as I don't get sean
-
We could do Secret Easter Bunny. Mail each other chocolate and jelly beans and silly little toys.
-
Would also do if the person who gets me is in Canada. I want popping Cadbury mini eggs. That is all.
-
I won't. Because I'll eat all the candy before it gets mailed.
What. Cadbury mini eggs and jelly beans are the shit, shut up.
-
in Canada they have mini eggs with pop rocks in them. Popping chocolate is my second favorite candy, after mini eggs. Canada wants me to have its babies. I will.
-
Whut. That sounds amazing.
-
Jace, can you post the list already so we can go punch people who didn't send us stuff?
-
Oh fucking fuck I somehow managed to forget to do this and I am useless and my present is sitting in my room still waiting for me to mail it I am so so so sorry fuck
-
oh you mean marble cake
Not quite. Marble cake is lots easier to do because you make the vanilla batter, pour in the chocolate batter, and swirl it a few times with a spoon or a knife. Zebra cakes depend on having the stripes, so there are like special techniques and maybe utensils for it and everything.
-
The technique is to just alternate putting dollops of the light and dark batter into the tin. I made it once with a marble cake box mix and it turned out perfectly. I don't know what special utensils would be needed, to be honest, because it's pretty simple.
-
Yeah, but this looks better.
Yes well you're wrong in every possible way so NYUHHHHH
-
Zebra cake story time:
I used to work at a supermarket. One day a man in his thirties and a young girl, about 7 or 8, were in the store and approached me to ask for help. With a strong Indian accent the man said, "excuse me, do you have something called... Zebra cakes?" The girl held his hand tight and looked at me with anticipation.
"Sure thing!" I said, and led the way to the prepared snake cake section of the commercial bakery aisle. I pointed to the Zebra cakes and the girl lit up and grabbed a box.
The man, looking somewhat incredulous, and possibly disgusted said "This? this is the thing you wanted?"
"YES!" the girl I love these!
He bought them for her.
-
the prepared snake cake section
:-D
-
The technique is to just alternate putting dollops of the light and dark batter into the tin. I made it once with a marble cake box mix and it turned out perfectly. I don't know what special utensils would be needed, to be honest, because it's pretty simple.
I dunno, the one time I tried to do it they sort of mushed together most places and didn't actually make stripes, so I figured there was a better way to do it.
-
You probably needed to use a thicker batter.
-
Okay, I'm working on the backup gifts for people.
So far I've got this:
People who've received gifts:
blanktom
Kris
Jens

okay, is this correct? I'm working on making up some consolation gifts to send out now that I've got some free time. If you've sent out your gift or recieved it, just edit it in a quote, it'll be easier for me to keep track of. If you are a santee who has received a gift and you are in the have not list, just cross your name out please.
EDIT: updated the list
-
Jens sent me a gift. A delicious gift, with words.
-
Sean I'm so sorry! The thing was, I have something, but didn't want to send it from Norway since it's so expensive here compared to sending from the UK, but when I got back to Glasgow I realized that I had left the present back in Norway. I'm now back in Norway, and when I leave I'll make sure to bring it with me so I can FINALLY send it! Plus with a little more things to make up for my incompetence. I'll be your not-so-secret Easter Bunny instead, how does that sound?
Oh and when I came back to Norway there was a present waiting for me, I've already said THANK YOU TANIA, but I'll do it again, THANK YOU TANIA, YOU'RE THE BEST AND THE CHOCOLATE WAS DELICIOUS EVEN THOUGH IT HAD EXPIRED WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT. Gonna take pics of all the awesomeness I got later today to show you all.

-
That's completely right!!!

Hey, I finally came and checked back on here again. It's good to know who to direct my vitriol towards!!
Sean, if you ever decide to send me some Zebra Cakes or anything, you'll need my new address. I moved last weekend.
-
I hope you didn't ask for Zebra cakes. Or actually, no, I hope he sends you Zebra cakes before Liz. It would be funny to watch the carnage.
-
edith i fucking swear i am going to send you something and its going to be better than zebra cakes.
there is this cute little general store in shepherdstown that just has a bunch of locally handmade stuff, i was thinking about picking up gifts there, does that sounds good?
-
Sean if you send Edith any Zebra Cakes I will hunt you down.
-
I really just want Zebra Cakes. I've decided.
-
Eed I will hunt you down as well.
You do not want my wrath.
-
No, she just wants your zebra cakes.
-
No zebra cakes for Liz! Long live zebra cakes of Edith!
-
I hate you all.
