Secret Santa 2018

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Fri Nov 02, 2018 18:59

Well hello there! It's that time of year again folks where you get to stalk your victim er, recipient and send them something amazing to make their Christmas rawk! :metul:

Rules of the game if you want to play are:

PM me your details(name & address) by Midnight November 24th with the subject line 'Secret Santa'.

I will be sending out your recipients details the next day, you then have about three weeks to stalk them and buy them something truly amazing!

I reckon try to have your gift sent out by about the second week of December so it gets there in plenty of time.

You may post in this thread, but you don't have to if you want to remain super secret and stalkerish!

I'm thinking of a cost limit of £5 - £10?

Over Christmas you take a photo of your gift and put it in this thread.

Try and make sure that you at least get proof of postage in case something goes astray, recorded delivery is always better so it can be tracked, but do whatever is within budget for you.

Try to update your Amazon wishlist, you can get the thingy (technical term, okay) so you can grab stuff from any site.

Last posting dates;

Tuesday 18th December Second Class and Recorded Signed For
Thursday 20th December First Class and Recorded Signed For

Any further thoughts or anything you think I've missed, feel free to post in this thread or drop me a PM.

Bumpty bump.

Five names in the hat so far.

Mods, could this please be pinned so that it doesn't get lost?

Thanks!

Last few days before closing this.

Sorry all, I've been away on training this week. Will get these out to you over the weekend.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Sun Dec 02, 2018 21:46

You should all have who you are buying for now - if not I've gone wrong somewhere and you need to let me know!

As before, any questions you need me to ask on your behalf - just drop me a PM and I'll do that for you.

Happy shopping all!

That was quick! Thanks, Santa :kiss:

Surprised it got there with that address.

Especially as I've heard the postmen in that area are a bit shit

Mr Chonks · **Posted:** Fri Dec 07, 2018 17:22

Fuck you, buddy! Some poor schlub on a zero-hours contract has delivered that in his own car.

“Fun”Sally · **Joined:** 16th Oct, 2017 **Posts:** 24

So shit. Our one doesn’t even let his black and white cat deliver stuff with him, nor has he ever got into any adventures on his rounds

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Fri Dec 07, 2018 17:36

Also, he hasn't yet been eaten by a dog. Clearly slacking off.

Ha, that looks good fun to play with MiniKov.

Arrived beautifully wrapped!

I received the best of ISIHAC and a book of poetry by an esteemed wordsmith.

Thanks Santa Incognito!

So, I was instructed to put my gift in the fridge, which is precisely what you want to hear at this time of year

Having successfully extracted it, I'm hoping it's not more cheese

I can confirm that this unwrapping started with an "Ooooh" and quickly increased to an "Oh wow!".

Good work Santa!

Curio is certainly washed up, so I can see why.

I got a book to help me learn drums. Thank you Santa! Sal is going to love it.

A lack of updates on this thread! My excuse, I've been in Norway, but I now have my present. Thanks Santa (if that is your real name).

Inspiration, and something to clean up with afterwards.
Thanks again, Santa

I wonder how Mop would have felt if he'd lived to see how gleefully his demise was received.

He died as he lived: as a target for our mockery.

Thanks Santa!

I meant to say a big thank you to secret Santa! I got the Goomba light which guards my PlayStation classic and also a Vision poster that will be getting a frame very soon to be put up in my Command Centre!

Thanks Secret Santa!
