Secret Santa 2013

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Wed Nov 06, 2013 22:56

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 30th with the subject line 'Secret Santa'.

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

I reckon try to have your gift sent out by about the 13th 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 we can track it, 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;

Wednesday 18 December Second Class and Recorded Signed For
Friday 20 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.

But thank you to whoever it was, grr to the silly postal system!!)

It got returned to your Santa who was going to give it to you at the Manchester meet instead...

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Thu Nov 07, 2013 18:44

Just a thought... as I'm going to be at the Christmas quiz, I'm happy to act as an intermediary for anybody who is partaking if you and your recipient are both attending.

Yay

I actually saw something the other day that I thought was good for someone and I hoped I'd get them in secret Santa this year, but I have both forgotten what it was I saw, and who I thought it was good for. Sorry!

My main concern is whether we'll get something else for SSTS to pose topless with.

Unless it's a top, we should be fine.

Since we don't have a proper Christmas thread yet, I'm just going to leave this here for safe keeping... http://manmadediy.com/m/2769-how-to-mak ... -templates

I'd like to log a complaint that one of those only has four sides

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Fri Nov 22, 2013 22:09

I'll bet that you could make a better version.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 22885

Sadly I know about as much about Star Wars as I do about international trade unions.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Sat Nov 30, 2013 18:36

Last chance people. I shall be sending out names after lunch tomorrow.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Sat Nov 30, 2013 18:42

Tree is done, stockings are up. Is it time yet?

TheVision · **Posted:** Sun Dec 01, 2013 15:53

Oh yeah... In! Sorry I'm late.

GazChap · **Posted:** Sun Dec 01, 2013 18:38

Arse. Somehow missed this - am I too late?

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Sun Dec 01, 2013 19:43

No one is too late yet. I'm just waiting to get on the laptop. Still hoping to get names and addresses out tonight.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Sun Dec 01, 2013 20:18

CLOSED! Names will go out shortly (I hope).

Grim... · **Posted:** Sun Dec 01, 2013 21:30

Some people are still struggling with the "secret" concept.

The secret bit is that people don't know who their Santa is though.

Anyway, all PMs have now been sent, any problems - let me know!

You know what to do people.

The Vision, your gift is on it's way and has been wrapped so you can put it under your tree.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Wed Dec 11, 2013 15:56

Gilly, your Santa says;

Quote:

Sent it off today. The present's been wrapped, so the parcel can be carefully opened and placed under the tree.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Wed Dec 11, 2013 17:06

MaliA, your Scrooge Santa says;

Quote:

His pressies will likely arrive tomorrow but are not gift wrapped, because screw Amazon gift wrap at 3.05 per item.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Dec 11, 2013 18:11

Fucking tightarse. I hope whomever sent that gets a lump of coal.

Malc!

Your Santa says;

Quote:

Estimated delivery for Malc:
17 Dec 2013 - 21 Dec 2013

It's not wrapped and the shitty place couldn't not put the price in the box, apparently, so tell him to get Mrs Malc to take it out.

Malc · **Posted:** Thu Dec 12, 2013 21:50

Cool!

Got home to find a mystery package with a note from Santa attached. Excited!

WHO GOT SECRET SANTA WRONG?

MaliA · **Posted:** Fri Dec 13, 2013 9:59

Mine has arrived!

Mine has arrived and is under the tree! Santa could use some work on his 'being secret' skills

TheFireFaerie · **Joined:** 1st Jul, 2012 **Posts:** 1609

All 3 of mine have arrived (I feel so lucky!) and will be going under the tree when I get home

Okay, two of them will… the other one is going ON the tree...
