I know there's a few people here that were at the other place, was there ever any reports of two people being each other's Secret Santa?

Finally managed to get my gift sent off today, should arrive in 6 business days so should be there before the date. Would of had it off earlier but of course as usual I spent too long on the card XD.
Can't wait to see if my giftee likes it :)

I feel kind of dumb, I sent packages to my Tiny Tim and completely forgot to mention it was for ResetERA Secret Santa. Yeesh
OP
OP
It can happen for any number of reasons...But it happens MORE often when you're doing a non-international matching where the pool is like 7 people.
Some money issues came up and was waiting until my next paycheck in order to get all my gifts. Unfortunately, one item wouldn't get here on time so I put it on my CC and had it shipped straight to my TT. Unfortunately, it was through a 3rd party Amazon seller so no quick shipping and no gift options. So my TT is gonna get a random package delivered. I will be sending another package as well.
Edit: Well....reread the thing I bought and realized I read it wrong and it's not exactly what I thought it was. Hopefully, my TT still likes it since it was on their Amazon list. Sorry. >_<

Dear SS, I got my gifts! I'm sorry I keep forgetting to post pictures of them. I'll try and remember tonight.
This thread is so much fun to watch. Love the creativity that people are putting into their gifts.
Can't wait for mine to come, and for my TT to get their gifts!

It arrived! Thank you, WascallyWabbit! Fellow Phantom Thief ready to dance~ don't worry about not being to pack more candy in, I'm impressed with how much you did get in! I've never had any of these flavours so I'm interested to try them out (this one filled with cookie spread is going down first!)

Oh shit, last I saw this was still in Melbourne. Glad it got to you so soon and that it didn't seem to lose anything in customs!
This is easily the furthest away I've ever shipped anything
Hope you enjoy everything! Merry Christmas :-)
Usually from Melbourne to me, it's only a day away! Australia Post is also kinda hopeless at tracking lol. Merry Christmas to you too, and I will!
My TT got their Blu-rays today. Looking forward to hearing what they end up thinking of the films I chose.
Really curious what my SS gets me because I wasn't specific and open to anything.

Hell yeah, P4DAN is a great game. Maybe not a great story, but the music is fantastic and the rhythm gameplay is fun.

I want to let my SS know that I received another package from Amazon!
As before, I'm not sure if it's gift wrapped so I'll wait until Christmas to open the box.
Thank you!
Some of my TT's gifts are taking a bit longer than anticipated to get here but I should hopefully have (at least part of) my gift mailed out next week!

That card is awesome. Where did you find it WascallyWabbit ?

Package received! It really made me laugh that the outer box was wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper. Anyway the box was really wet and at first I thought it was just rainwater but then noticed the paperwork said there was beer inside so started to fear something had leaked — it was really wet — so I opened it.
Alllll the Swiss treats. I was so glad Santa had included a handy little booklet explaining what everything is.
Can't wait to try them all, especially the Aromat because Santa's description of it makes it sound incredible.
There's also a print out (albeit a little soggy) for a rap album that'll arrive digitally a little closer to Christmas. And it's in my secret santa's native language so cannot wait to hear it. I went to Poland last year and got a polish rap CD and even though I don't know what's being said, it still bangs. Can't wait to listen to some Swiss hip-hop in my car, haha.
Alas, my fears were confirmed and a beer had leaked. Not to worry though cos I got lots!
The one on the right leaked, cos the top had flipped off. It was well packaged though so complete damage limitation for the rest, and I've still got four completely unknown-to-me beers to drink. All good!
Thanks a lot to my secret santa. I genuinely was going to wait til Christmas Day but I'm glad I didn't (water damage/potential smell aside) because now I can enjoy all this food now, yay! Really, thanks a lot.
Also there was a lot of shipping paperwork attached to the box which has made me worried that my package will never reach its tiny tim, because the lady in the post office pretty much just took it and handed me a receipt. We'll see.

It's so exciting coming to this thread and seeing people are already receiving and opening their gifts, some amazing stuff in here :) Looks like my TT already got his/her package as well, cannot wait to see what he/she thinks about the gifts I chose!
Yay, my TT got his gifts! I made him Christmas cookies and everything. Looking forward to seeing what I get! :)
I got a package from England! Yay!!
...but the missus was adamant I can only open it on Christmas.

I bought a stack of them years ago on Etsy, not sure if they're still around but I don't really send out much Xmas cards so I basically only use them for Secret Santa
Received a few of my shipments and they're under my tree. Gifts are wrapped and ready to ship for my TT.
So, time for a story with some magic of Christmas.
We are actually in middle of moving and I had no idea what my address will be, so I gave my parent's one for my SS figuring I'll visit them during Christmas anyway.
Well, things happened and we are just going to stay in our old home for Christmas and then pack our stuff and move. I was a bit worried I'd get my SS gift way late.
Today I drove 500+ kilometers to check our new home, and then about 80 more to stay the night at my parent's.
Enter my mom: "Look the mailman brought a package addressed to you today."
IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE
The one day, the only day I was here, my SS delivered!

Just to let my SS know my gifts have arrived! All the way from New Zealand it seems.
Not sure why the photo is sideways, oops.
I'm going to wait until Christmas day until I open them. Im very excited to see what kind of New Zealand goodies await :D
Yeah, you're right, they should be upside down.
