2017 Era Secret Santa

My work here is done
The hand-made bits are complete
Ready to dispatch

Dropped my package off to USPS!

All my gifts for my TT have arrived :D Wrapping them this weekend and will send the package off on Monday.

Finally got all my gifts for my TT
Time to start wrapping
And send the package next week :D

if my secret santa can see this..

I would appreciate if you could send me with one of the wonderful messengers here a PM with the tracking of the packages since I need to tell my forwarding service company about the packages I should be expecting, thanks.

Would be great for me as well. Customs here are a little wonky.

Just wanted to let my SS know I received my gifts.

Same, received a rather larger than expected box. It's hard not to open it :)

Wow, people are already receiving theirs? I still gotta decide what to get for my TT. Payday always lands on the weekend that I work constantly without any days off, so I haven't had a chance to go out yet.

Everything has arrived so I just need to box it all together and post it to Mongolia, or whichever other farawayland my TT lives in.

First part of TT's gifts finally arrived. Now to figure out the rest...

People are already receiving their gifts, meanwhile I still haven't picked up everything I want to send :/ I'll probably be ready next week, though!

I would like to join i guess :) first time for me since i never got the chance neogaf.

Don't feel bad, I can't send mine for another week due to circumstances I can't explain here

My Tiny Tim was a bit of a challenge. How do I get a gift for someone who seems like they have everything? Then I went a different route and rolled with it. All that's left is waiting for my item to arrive next week and give it my personal touch.

Jeah i saw it :D next year

Hey, if my SS could, through an itermediary, send tracking info so I can know when to expect my gift, that would be ace.

Whenever it is shipped.

I should be getting my gifts sent off in the week next week, just anxiously awaiting one more thing to arrive in the post.

I've somehow inadvertently spent more money on my TT than anyone in my family, and my TT is literally a complete stranger lolz

Same here. I spent more on my TT than anyone in my family, except my wife. Two of them items I got couldn't be delivered (Amazon's Delivery service was being stupid, UPS had no trouble) so I had to return them, one of the items was no longer available, so I spent even more on the replacement item.

Also, I won't be home until Dec 16th, so if my SS has mailed my packages and is wondering why there's no report of receiving them, that's why.

Well, TT is mostly sorted now. Decided to take advantage of where I work to pick up some final pieces.

Same! I sent part of it but the other bit is still to be picked up.

Looks like my Tiny Tim should receive his present on the sixth. Hoping he enjoys his lovely figures!

Well then just got my SS gifts. Had my grandmother open the box so i wouldnt see what was in there then wrap it and hand it back to me. Holding off opening it.

Have my TT gifts picked out. Just have to order them. Should have everything wrapped and ready to go before the deadline.

One gift has arrived.
Other gift is not in stock.
Amazon will do.

Anybody available as a go between? I need some help with a request. Reply here or just PM me, I'll edit if I find somebody.

Thanks!

Edit: A kind soul has agreed to be a go between for me. Thanks to all who volunteered.

I've wrapped the gifts I've bought. I did have an idea for one more present but so far have been unable to find it.

I'll give it another week of looking and post it next Friday with or without the final thing. Even without it, it's still a decent haul I reckon. I was a bit out of my depth with one of the gifts so hopefully it's right.

Received my gift! A cool star trek shirt, I love it! I collect t-shirts and this fits right in =) Didn't have a GAF username associated with it, but to whoever had me, thanks again and Merry Christmas!

Whatchu need?

Nice, all my gifts arrived! Time to wrap them up and ship them out tomorrow. Should allow plenty of time for delivery.

Sent mine. Sorry my person, my foot surgery is keeping me mostly couch bound so I took the easy way out.

almost got all my stuff for my TT. Thank god they restored the old GAF posts so I could creep through and see what to get.

Can't wait to see the look on the postman's face tomorrow when I hand my package over and he sees my TT's name/userid on the front.

Could I get an intermediary to send my TT tracking information for their gifts?

I would like this as well. Gonna be sending mine out tomorrow.

Blah, I'm going to have to wait before I buy my TT's presents a little longer. Had to cancel my debit card because I had a few unauthorized charges on it, and now I got to wait for a new card.

Hmmm.... Any ideas on how to send something through Amazon elsewhere? right now its asking me to provide a phone number from that country, if I add mine it changes the Country to Finland.

Ask someone that is not your tt to provide his phone number to you through them

Hmm... it changed it to Finland, then I left the number there, changed it back to the different country and it stuck. So maybe it'll work.

EDIT: Sent the first main half of presents to my TT. Should be there tomorrow. I'll be sending some goodies from here separately.

A nice collection
Of local goods I've accrued
Now it's wrapping time!

Gifts already wrapped and ready for shipping this week :) Also, I'd really appreciate if my SS could send me through an intermediary the tracking info for my gifts so I know when to expect them (whenever they are shipped obviously)

I sent my gifts off this morning. I've got the royal mail tracking number, I don't know if I need to tell my TT? I'll be keeping an eye on it myself to see how the delivery is going. The lovely post office lady told me it will take around 6 days to reach my TT over in America.

I think you just PM Nic as to provide proof of postage and all.

Incidentally got my gifts for TT all wrapped up and in a shipping box. Just need to find a freaking Christmas card around the house...

Just got a second package in the mail. My Secret Santa is the best:

Card found, packed. Now to heft this thing down to the post office.

sadly, the last item had to be shipped alone. So one little thing more to go. ^_^ Sorry for the inconvenience.

Also : you should open the big blue box ;)

The package is sent.
Begun the long waiting has.
Wonder what I'll get!

Just sent off the small gifts and bought the bigger gifts via Amazon for my TT! It seems like Amazon's gift "wrapping" option is even more expensive this year =_= I think I've learned my lesson and I'll just ship it all to myself and wrap it next year, with shipping it'll be around the same price anyway lol.

Hope he likes them :D
