I can't remember if I added a wish list to my form so I'll post it here just in case.
So Im shipping internationally but the date for shipping is like from the 15th to the 5th. Is there a way to warn the receiver without revealing who I am that's it's coming but could be late?
Ask Nic (or anyone else for that matter) to relay the message?
Well lookie here. Looks like I got a Tiny Tim and it's somebody I recognize from the old forum. This shall be delightful.
Thanks for putting this together! I never did one of these on the old board and am excited to participate this time.
Well, due to my job I'll be out of state until Dec 22nd. I wanted to be able to customize the gift some and add some regional items and whatnot, but it's just not gonna happen this year. I had to just order from Amazon and have the item directly shipped. Hope my TT enjoys his/her gifts!
Was able to check my match earlier in the day and I'm excited to say that I have some ideas already. Super looking forward to this!
Oh crap. I forgot to keep an eye on this thread. Oh well, hopefully next year I'll be more on the ball.
So is a preorder for an item that doesn't get released until February a valid gift? I would PM Nicoga or a helper to let the person know what is being gifted if this is acceptable.
Looking forward to shopping for my TT today.
I like to be surprised but if it's any help to my SS, my PSN is the same as my username - just in case you were thinking of getting me anything game-wise and didn't want to get something I'd already played. That said, I'm not expecting any games or anything. Just, whatever! :-)

Thank you nicoga3000 for all the hard work.
Dear SS, as long as you are happy with your gift, I will be. Do what you want, I'm okay with anything.

I'd like to apologize to my SS, I see so many people posting wishlists but I've never had a desire to make one as not one person I know uses them to buy gifts. Besides, places like Amazon don't ship here and prices here in New Zealand are through the roof from local stores/online retailers.
In case he/she is reading this I'll add a few little things just in case.

Megadeth, Metallica and Tool are my favorite bands of all time (been a fan for 28yrs)
I'm currently researching how to build my own custom arcade cabinet for Mame and hoping to start the project next year
I've just bought my first house and move in on the 16th Dec
I'm a bit of a tinkerer and will happily work on one of my cars or attempt to build something.
I love videogames, been playing most platforms most of my life. I only have one platform this generation though, the PS4. San Francisco Rush and it's sequels are the greatest racing games of all time. I dislike Japanese RPGs.
I looooove chocolate. It's actually an addiction.
Umm, that's about it, I feel a little uncomfortable listing things like this for reasons I won't explain. I will however be very happy with anything from your part of the world.

Updated mine but as others had pointed out, take the list not as a closed thing, I will be happy with stuff related, dont focus on buying from that list if you dont want to
i didn't add much to my info sheet when submitting. Anything is fine really :) if international, local treats and candy too! :D
This is a good idea!
Just took a look at my match's profile and I'm gonna start brainstorming tonight.
Just a quick question. Would it be okay if I ship directly from Amazon rather than from my address as the shipping would cost double the price of the actual gift and I could just spend more on the gift otherwise.... :/ (Or is that a question I should ask my match through an intermediary?)
yeah, that's what I'm doing!
Will spend the weekend just cruising Amazon and getting the present for my TT.
Wrapped it with a nice card. Send it now.
Up to your TT to be strong enough to not open it early !
To my SS:
Made a post earlier on the previous page with some suggestions. I think I wrote quite a bit on the form, but I don't think it suggested anything substantial or a specific idea. So the post should help.
I'll be going to shop for my TT first week of Dec. It's going to be great!

Woo! Got my TT!
For my SS here's my amazon wishlist

Also, anyone willing to PM my TT for me? Not totally sure if they've played a certain game

I'm in Indonesia right now on vacation, but thanks to the power of friends I've got my TT's stuff already... Hoping he's happy with what I'm gonna gift him!
As for myself, figure I'd add some additional details if you're stuck:
Some stuff if you really really need help (aka my wishlist)
I'll probably add more stuff here as I think about it.

Games I have:
PC
Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/tenritsu/
GOG: Witcher 3
Switch:
Mario Kart 8
Zelda BOTW
Mario Odyssey
Doom
Others:
I really enjoy tea (mostly green, oolong, and herbal (mixes are fine too!) If you can find some nice ones to surprise me that'd be pretty sweet too. Some of my favorite stores are Adagios/Teagschwendner/Todd & Hollands, so anything similar would be neat!

Already started getting my Tiny Tim some stuff today.
Since everyone else is doing it, I'll make a small wishlist of my own just in case the stuff I provided in my form isn't sufficient.
Just trying to make it easier for ya'll

-Shirts are cool
-I love Blade Runner, Twin Peaks, Breaking Bad, Casablanca, Game of Thrones, Kingdom Hearts and Star Wars

Pfft....softcore is for babies. Go all the way!
Is there a list of intermediaries?
Actually, I just realized I could be my own intermediary. Lol. But it still would be good for other people.
feeling the same way about my gifts. it's a good thing to feel that way though because it shows you really care.
i'm sure they'll appreciate whatever you chose
I get that feeling all the time too. Even though friends and such will say "I'll be super happy with anything from my wish list" I always feel like I have to figure out which items are the best ones or like there's some secret item not on their wish list that I should be able to figure out. With a TT I don't really know it's even harder, especially when they're just getting shipped directly from Amazon. I feel like I didn't do Christmas right, but I'm sure my TT will probably still be happy anyways. My TT will be getting one package on Tuesday, and the second is estimated by Dec 28, so I hope it makes it on time.
I just hope that my TT hasn't already owned what I'm gifting him/her.
I can relay some messages if anyone need it.

Not necessary this year. But keep something around in case there's an issue and we need to check in on it.
I have to. there's very few info from here, unfortunately
Just sent my gift, I hope you enjoy =)
I have to admit I did some sleuthing, but only on this forum
Do I have to send any confirmation on my end that I sent a gift?
