Be Excellent To Each Other

Ace! We have that Audrey Hepburn picture too

‘I Love Typography’ teeshirt set in Comic Sans. Ace

My haul



The stormtrooper toy and little tub of mints was my secret santa gift, thanks santa!

Oh and the stocking is full of penny sweets

I got a recipe book for cakes and cookies, they look awesome!

Kylie says they're 'fabulous'...

Thanks Santa, Ramsea took the receipt out of the box so it's totes still a secret. Damnit.

I got a desktop dalek! Fantastic!



Thanks, Secret Santa!

I'm jealous! We haven't opened our presents yet. Roll on midday when the in-laws arrive.

Brilliant! Can't wait to play it. :grin:

Also got a book about how a woman can please her man or something along those lines... Flis is currently reading it and hopefully learning a thing or two. Forum won't let me upload a picture of it for some reason.

I hope my Santa knows that I'm not home 'til the 27th so won't open my present 'til then

I have got mine, and I know who it was as the billing name and address was printed on the packing slip.

I will wear it later and post a photo in due course.

Haha! Yeah...it'd be easier to learn something if I could decide which of us is the wife...? These descriptions don't help.

My wife appears to have the accelerated version.

Secret Santa brought me a robot made from circuitry and a brush that when you have made it sweeps the floor for you. Best

Thank you!

Mine did not arrive, but I've had a wonderful Christmas Day nonetheless, really loved taking part and shopping for my victim (with a special shout out to Ange for inspiration!) and I received some acebest non-secret Santa things, including an apron (I'd asked for one, feminism fans) and salt and pepper shakers in the shape of toadstools which I may have hinted about. Plus the best snow globe EVER from Jazzy G, which I will have to wait for a better data signal to include pictures of. It deserves it.

More pics of your gifts, peeps! Flis's is all kinds of weird and amazing! And slightly creepy.

*looks up the chimney*

...

The 2012 Official Burnley FC Annual!

Thankyou Secret Santa! So chuffed!

I've got a mobile phone camera without a data lead so my present is extra secret. Except our very own former Newcastle United striker sent me a Newcastle United rubber duck and a little book of Newcastle United, so now it's very secret. Thank you Malcolm McDonald, both presents came before Xmas, some how; Amazon Prime must be worth the money. Also I was too scared to take the cardboard off in case Amazon forgot to wrap them, they didn't; it was a double unwrapping. Awesome presents, thank you.

I got a Zombie Priest action figure thingie, no idea from who though! Very well kept secret - I very nearly couldn't get it from the collection office at Royal Mail though because it had GazChap on it instead of my real name. Thanks Santa!

Fortunately, I do actually sign my name as GazChap so I could point the Royal Mail dude to my driving licence and say "look, it says GazChap there!"

Bah, that Amazon told you my name, hurrah that you got them both before christmas, my amazon status, still has the little book as



Which is odd. It is the new version of that book you got? I wonder if you got the old version (after I had placed the order, they told me it was out of stock, which is why the delivery time was changed.

As for what I got, It was a magic ufo thing. When I was in London this summer, I went to the science museum, and the shop had them there, I almost bought one, but thought that it cost too much. So it's almost the perfect present (something that you'd like, but would never buy for yourself) Also good secret stalking, bit worried how much else you know about me!

Malc

Are we meant to be guessing who they came from? I think mine cane from a girlie, so I'm guessing GJ.

Heh, I don't include myself because it wouldn't be fair on my Santa.

Must be one of your other bitches.

I thought mine was from grim. But after opening it I think it may be from trooper.

Apart from being not from flis or her secret Santa, I really don't know who it's from. Was my only pressy to open yesterday so thanks again. :-)

I'll start the ball rolling on the reveals and say well done, you are correct

No idea who mine is from though, part of it was breath mints, so I assume it is someone I have met...

You didn't get a present? That's rubbish

I've changed my mind to Mimi, then.

I purposefully didn't include a card as well, so you didn't guess.

I hope it was ok. I thought it was lovely and snuggly and I was impressed with how large it was when it came. Did you find the gum tucked inside?

@Jazzy: next year, if you're running it, we can split the participants into two secret groups and handle one group each. You can organise between one set of peoria including me, and vice versa. That way you don't miss out on the fun.

@Dear Craster, I tried to edit my precious post about five times on tapatalk, but it won't save my edits. xxx

Woohoo, a pretty good guess then if I dont say so myself. This should make everyone else's a lot easier to workout/guess.

Malaboob's (and A.N. Other) is either from me or flis judging by the postage stamp (or it may be a cunning ploy to make him think that ).

Mimi had Grim...

I reckon Zardoz probably got himself as no one else would want to have him.

Any dildos, editable underpants, willy shaped chocolates etc are probably from Malc. Edit. If Amazon didnt reveal his name

Any other guesses?

I got.. The new Steven King book! I think I commented on it sounding like something I should get, and my kindly Beex Santa must have been watching! Ace, thanks, whoever you are

Yes, it's in the picture. Thank you very much!

Mine has yet to arrive, alas, though I have been assured it will.

All is not bad though, as I now have a book on how to cook couscous! Thanks Santa, I think!

Also, the cupcake hutch better watch out as I got an awesome book on making cupcakes, oh dear, going to be so fat!

Well many thanks to my SS assignee! I received the following bumper box:


I spread the opening of the gifts through-out the day for maximum Christmas release. They were, in order:

1) Two AAA batteries. Clearly thoughtfully thinking of any possible remote control failures during the marathon Christmas period.

2) A "Kazoo". Not a large singing lady but a musical instrument. I tried blowing through it but nothing happened. I tried covering the obvious holes for a similar outcome. I inserted a AAA battery into one end but it just fell out of the other. Apparently one needs to "hum" into it. Little did I know when I awoke Christmas morn that I would be spending an hour trying to hum God Save The Queen into a Kazoo.

3) A large box of Drumsticks. The only kind of Drumsticks that should come in a box. BOOM!. Indeed.

4) A Pac-Man alarm clock. I still haven't actually tried it yet but I presume that it takes two AAA batteries? (It would be very funny if it didn't). It apparently projects "authentic Pac-Man noises". So I shall certainly place it beyond arm's reach when I need to urgently be awoken.

5) Some CDs by Wilco, Neil Young, Nick Cave, and someone called Battles. I have lots of the first three artist's albums but not any of the ones I've been sent. How did Santa know?



Huge thanks to my Secret Santa!

I think Chrimbaig has won!

Right I've unwrapped my secret santa present! I got a handlebar moustache and an elastic band gun. Sitting home alone since the girlfriend is on nightshift. Just in from my parents after drinking lots of wine, now drinking beer and wandering around the house wearing my handlebar moustache and feeling pretty fly. The sticky bit is one go only so might need to try and see if i can do something to make it reusable again for hogmany, I look well butch.
The hat is one I got for Christmas from my parents and I felt it set the moustache off perfectly.
Thanks Santa, I feel like I should be drinking neat whisky and smoking cigarillos. Just like any weeknight, really.

I did forget to say:

I got a sex toy mini Mclaren F1 car and a Mclaren branded laptop sleeve.

I got a Diabetic Cook Book and a DVD on how awesome the 2003 England Rugby team were...


Happy Kovacs..

I must do a YouTube video of mine tonight. I've been practicing.

You got a cake to fart on?

Where's your video?

Where's my prezzie?

I was in Southampton all weekend. I'll try to get it done tonight.

Just think how awesome it's obviously going to be when it DOES arrive, though.

*Dreams of driving across America with a Mr Dave simuloid*

*looks at empty space under tree where Secret Santa present should be*

That's at least three waiting then... Curiosity, Mimi and Zardoz.

For shame... send them now!

"Piss off, I'm on holiday."

Hey, Grim..., what was it that made you think/guess that a girl had send your Secret Santa gift?

Probably someone who also thought The_Bouncing_Hedgehog was a manly username.

Not 'manly' just neutral. Shut up. Anyway, I wrapped Grim...'s Christmas gift in the plainest, most neutral way possible purposefully so he could not guess

Was it this wrapping paper?

However it was probably very neat and tidy with no odd edges / 'extra' folded paper / etc

Did it have a label? That's a giveaway right there.
