Seeing all these gifts makes me really excited.

I hope the package from my SS arrives in the next couple of days.

The wait is killing me. :p

Thanks to my Secret Santa for the PS+ card :) I'm not a chocolates person, so I shared them with my neighbor's kids.

BTW, the person I was the SS for said that he received the package but I never knew if they liked it or not...I hope they did

yea you didn't give any specifications so i hope everything is to your liking. check the pockets/sleeves, there should be some gift receipts and i know for sure your stuck with the star wars jammies. About the small sized joggers, i accidentally grabbed a small instead of a large >_>

funny thing about BLOPS 3, i bought it for myself sometime last year and i just never played it, and i was going to gift you Dishonored 2 but decided to keep it myself. umm if you don't have a ps4 then trade them for cash

Thanks again. I'm actually an M, so everything fits (L a bit looser and S a bit tighter but all good). I love the jammies--I'm a big Star Wars fan, and it's also been really cold recently! I also do have a PS4, so no worries there, and I like having stuffed animals and/or game paraphernalia (where Charmander is both!) and toys, so I love everything. Thank you again so much!

Thank you to my SS!

My pleasure! Sorry it was super last minute again! I meant to put a lot more stuff in but it was down to the wire. However I had a ton of fun designing the Christmas card. Hopefully you enjoyed the art! I kept it kid friendly/Christmas themed.

I mentioned Jaws was one of my favorite movies and got this sweet shirt along with a collection of Coen Brother Blu-Rays. I love them and didn't own any of these. Thanks so much to my SS.

A bit worry of where my SS gift will arrived and guess what show up at my location.

My SS Gift.

I wonder what is inside this box.
IMG_20170104_1135338961_zps4dmdovvt.jpg

Oh snap, two of my favorite manga I like and some candy. Unfortunately, the chocolate coin didn't really survive too well the trip over here as they're few broken but can still eat. As for the manga, just minor dent on the ah my goddess manga but look okay.

Thank you Reanimatoin for the gift as it will be something I will go back and reread it when I have time this week. Also, will eat the candy soon.

UPDATE: I know the picture is in the wrong way but trying to get photobucket to put it right as of now.

These are great! I've never really had figured before so it's a pretty unique and cool thing to get. The Law figure in particular seems really well made. Thank you TheFlow!

I've got a few PMs to clean up with regards to gift tracking. If you still are lacking a gift, PM me with the name of your SS and I'll do some research into my notes.

Wooh! Noticed you in the toonami and one piece threads so I figured something anime will do.

Unfortunately I had to go back to the capital because I'm back to work, but I believe my Secret Santa's gift has arrived - my parent gave me a call to say a package had arrived from where my SS is - thank you nny.

It'll mean I'll be bumping this thread in a month or two, when I go back home, unless it can magically get to me sooner (which is possible).

I finally got back to LA today and opened my package! Thank you so much, Auron_Kale, those presents were fantastic! Love the books and the Pusheen plush is adorable! Really excited to dig into both and make some delicious timey-wimey food!

(By the way, your message mentioned that something might have been delayed; did it arrive in time?)

Glad you liked the presents and it was the Terry Pratchett book that I was originally scared that wouldn't arrive in time before I sent out your package.

I ended up ordering it after I saw your wish list and figured I could get it - just that it was coming from the UK and the estimated arrival was between December 12 through the 29th. Luckily it arrived I think on the 14th so I was able to ship all 3 items together. Otherwise, that book would've arrived later.

Hope you enjoy everything!

Tracking can be wonky. I know of a few folks who had tracking problems but gifts still arrived.

I'm sorting out the few stragglers still. It happens every year, but it is what it is. At least this year that hasn't been any people ignoring me. That was a bummer.

Shoot me a PM if you're still in limbo and need assistance!

Great news! It certainly took its time, but reached its destination. I hope you like it, whenever you get a chance to open it!

Thanks for looking out!

Worthintendo said:
I'm feeling super horrible that it hasn't shown up for you yet :( I'm checking the tracking for it several times a day and no change :( stupid sodding Australia Post shipping to Mexico :(
Click to expand...

No worries man :) international post can be wonky as hell, for all we know it could be in a ship container across the Pacific or at a sorting facility in Canada or at customs clearance in Mexico city, or who knows where really!

One time I got my gift on January 17th and that was from the US so it can be delivered any day, I was just worried my SS chose to skip out on me or something :D

For now I'll just keep a very close watch on any postman I see :)

I'm glad you liked it. I realized I didn't put my name after I taped the box. Oh well. Enjoy the fry sauce I hope you like it. Merry Christmas!

Hey Shabadoo69. Just an update -- we had a family get together and played Telestrations today. It was a huge hit! Everybody laughed, and we played 6 or so rounds before calling it a day.

Thanks again for the really thoughtful gift. It was a great way to pass an afternoon and I hope that other people will join us.

It took me a long time to post this, these gifts arrvied a few weeks ago. Thank you so much to my SS who still remains anonymous ^^ I had a really busy winter and I just got back from MAGfest. My request was a bit odd since I like to cosplay. So my SS sent me all the things I needed on my wishlist for a Revy costume! I was so excited I did a little test shoot in my apartment. I'll do a proper shoot when it warms up and I can buy myself her cutlasses.

I was surprised to learn that my second package was returned to me because of an insufficient address issue. I think I forgot to include the apartment number in my haste. I'm going to edit it and resend it over the weekend.

Major apologies go out to my Secret Santa. I'm just now getting to post that I have received your awesome gifts!!! I had lost my blu rays of Hannibal last year when I moved back into boston, and was itching for another copy. Two very special kids in my life also love the mario and lego, I've been having a great time playing with them! :) I have pictures on my phone and will post them when I can.

But thank you again! You helped make this one of the best Christmases I've had in a long time.

My gift finally arrived!

I got some peppermint candy which has already been eaten by me and some friends and tons of Playstation related merchandise from the Playstation Experience 2016.

Besides these goodies there was a copy of Life is Strange included. That is so awesome! I did not own the game and I have wanted to play it for months now.

The best part by far was the drawing of the Doll from Bloodborne. You are a very talented artist! I absolutely love this picture and I will most definitely frame it.

The individual gifts were accompanied by some very sweet notes. All in all I'm just blown away.

Thank you soooo much thebaroness! I can tell that you put a lot of thought into this. I was very happy about everything and I'm glad that it arrived safely. Thank you so much!

My TT has yet to post, so all I can do is assume that it was well received (tracking confirms delivery).

Not the end of the world, but knowing the results adds some closure to the whole thing.

So I picked up my Secret Santa from the post office today and wow, Aiustus really made my day. I got the following, a box of Cincinnati's finest chips from Grippos, Asura's Wrath, the Last Dragon BLu Ray(one of my favorite movies which I only have on DVD) and They Live.

Posted all of them on my Instagram

https://www.instagram.com/p/BPVzBXlDzT3/

I'm really grateful for everything especially in light of how much it cost to ship to me. So thanks again

Hey Worthintendo! I managed to rescue the package from the post office just a few minutes ago.

I'll open it later since am running late for work thanks to the not so pleasant customer service there.

But it's here!!! It crossed the Pacific safely :)
