Had to do amazon for my TT, which has already been sent out. I also have something else scheduled to come next week.
Is it a Blue Eyes White Dragon?

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
I got home from college today and got to finally see my Secret Santa gifts.
Here is the main gift (will open on Christmas):
And here are the stocking-stuffers:
Thank you so much! I really got a kick out of the Obama mints and the mini skeletons.
On a side note, I do believe that you are my SS as well, Gaiages. What an interesting coincidence.

No. What is that?

Recieved and opened part of my gift (by accident since I get a shitload of Amazon boxes). I love it by the way, but won't show it to you guys just yet

I know where those candies are from! Enjoy! (Not your SS though)
Got my gift. Unfortunately I got excited and just ripped the box open. The items were not wrapped. So I ruined the surprise. There was a note on the side of the box saying not to open it because contents were not wrapped but I totally didn't even see the note. GRR...
Thanks for the gifts! I will post pictures shortly.

Got a mysterious Amazon box today! My wife opened and confirmed it's from my Secret Santa, then hid it. I'll post pictures on Christmas!
I also mailed off my package yesterday, so I need to send the tracking number to Nic. But both halves are now done for me.

Word.
No note was included from my observation, but Amazon typically drops the ball on that.
Great CD. Dunno if this from lurking my messages and finding the posts where I rant about loving the music not the artist.

Reminder!
I've responded to PM's regarding late shipping and express shipping and such.
Don't bother with express. Your TT many be sad that they don't have their gift right away...But maybe consider tossing a little consolation prize in there instead of paying 3-4x as much for shipping quicker.

Thanks to my SS, I finally did some wrapping of my own gifts to put under the tree. It was looking a little sad with just two gifts.

Just got my gift, thanks you :3 Funny thing is I actually have a different variation of POP! Jon Snow.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday to my Secret Santa!

Wow it's nice to see those gifts pouring in!!
To my TT,
I stalked you. Hopefully the box you get is to your liking and it won't mess up your protein diet.
It should be there in 2 to 3 weeks. Sorry if it will take longer than expected but it will sure be there by then.
Sincerely,
Mieu

Stalking your posts yea. Also I'm a huge RPG music guy so I figured it'd be cool to share the music from one of my favorite games

Posted my parcel on Saturday with 48 hour delivery. Im not sure if that's 48 hour work day or not but fingers crossed it should still arrive before Christmas whichever it is.

The broncos shirt came a few days after and I had already put the puzzle together. It was one of the few Mario puzzles I didn't have. The Destiny calendar is hanging at my desk at work. I love it all. The shirt is kind of a muscle shirt. My wife and I have been going to the gym this last year so when I wore it to work last week a few people made comments about how good it looked and they could tell I've been going to the gym. Made me feel pretty good. Thanks Violence Jack you nailed it!!

To my Tiny Tim:
The past couple weeks has been crazy for me. I've finally got your gift out now. I did my best picking stuff out for you. You posted a few times in this thread (including on this page, ho ho ho), so just hang tight. Hope you enjoy.

That's awesome to hear! I live in Denver, so I actually saw the shirt at the mall before purchasing it on Amazon because you mentioned working out. Glad to see it got you some positive feedback. Also glad you enjoyed the calendar and puzzle as well. I stalked you for a bit to get ideas before you posted about yourself and your hobbies in the thread.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

Your next gift should get to you around the 21st. If it doesn't get there by the 23rd, let me know.

Finally got my shopping done today. I'm usually very good about this but this year has been very busy for me at this time for reason. I'm sad I didn't get to post more in this topic sorry TT. Oh well, now I can enjoy care free.
Came home to find my gifts! I couldn't wait until Christmas.
A rioter drew my name! League is easily my most played game of all time, and I'm a die-hard fan of the competitive scene. I can't believe I've now got the autographs of my favorite players and casters. All of this was absolutely perfect - not pictured is a bunch of tea that I'm definitely going to dig into this cold week, along with a ton of awesome trinkets, jewelry and some cool socks. I ran out of space on my desk for the picture, haha.
As if that wasn't enough, my SS got me some Riot Points and another secret digital gift I haven't seen yet. Thank you so much, Su! You made my day.
Another fantastic GAF Secret Santa this year. I've only done this a couple years but it's been a great experience every time.

Thanks littlegrasshopper!
I'm a fan of Disney, The Simpsons, and Star Wars so great job!
My 4 year old loves Tsum Tsums so he was excited about those.
Our family loves Orlando and we've been to Disneyworld twice in the last 3 years.
Thanks again for your thoughtful gifts.

Well looks like my SS gift arrived. It's from Eye for an Eye! The gift looks very interesting. I opened the left box as it said open now and it was some chocolates. I sampled one and it was very good, are they home made? Hmm this one wrapped in MLP wrapping, if I remember correctly...

Send him socks. Preferably with My Little Pony on them.
Ha ha ha. Gotcha. That's fresh. Can't believe I remembered that random post cause that's something I would do for somebody. I'll open the other ones later.

And my TT's gift arrived! Hope they enjoy it!
As for the mystery Amazon present that I had received a few days ago and can only guess is from my Secret Santa, just a few more days before I open it... Looking forward to it!

You just made my night. I was hoping you'd catch on. 😂
And the chocolates are from See's Candies. It's a popular chocolate shop in California.

Mine came!
That's a lot of Celebrations.
Aw yiss! Lanyards! Have been needing these badly for work.
And we also have a Zelda beanie, a Power Rangers pin and Hokkaido Highway Blues by Will Ferguson, which intrigues me greatly. I always ask for my SS' favourite book as a present and this one looks interesting. Will be fun to read over Christmas.
I also got sent a letter with the parcel. My current potato phone can't capture the text, so I've transcribed it here:
Thank you very much! Work has been unreal the last few weeks so coming home to this today was really nice. 10/10 stuff, Santa!

My gift arrived today from my secret Santa. Not sure who my SS was (no name on the letter)l, but thank you so much for the gifts. I will be reading Howling Commandos at some point this week. My girlfriend and I already devoured the macaroons and we will be having the coffee tomorrow for breakfast. Thanks again SS and merry xmas!
