Secret Santa 2016

Right, so who is doing it?
Not me. Sorry, but I can't be trusted to be well.

I know it's early, but those of us who are poor as a church mouse whose wife ran away with all the cheese on the day a huge bill arrived, need to plan in advance.

I know I can specify. I'd quite like a man this year. But enough about my personal life. I can do foreign too. But my sad little brain would be happier knowing someone had it in hand. And no, you dirty people, that is not about my personal life :p:

Any of you wonderful, organised people want to step up?

I want to do it also. And I can ship overseas.

I think you are asking who will organize? I will make a triumphant return, if no one else wants to.

Yeah!!! Clodfobble for the win!

YAY! Clodfobble for teh organizer.
I'm in. I can do overseas. Bonus points for things I can use in my Fanny this year :D

If you want to participate, PM me by September 30th with the usual stats: mailing address, whether you can do overseas, and any helpful tips for your Santa, such as "I hate the color brown" or "no food please" or "I have a new fanny to fill." :) Please do try to give some kind of hint, vague though it may be.

You two gals just made my day.

Oh, I know the day ain't over yet, but, still, day made.

:D

Bump.

Remember to PM me by Friday if you want to participate in Secret Santa this year.

This is done.

I'm in!

Oh hey, right. Last chance, everyone!

HEY! HEY! HEY! I want to participate, but I lost track of time. Can I still make the list? Please? :D

I'm going to send Clod the pm with my info in case it's not too late for me. If it is, no biggie. Let me know what the decision is. Thanks! :-)

Hi Lola! I just went by you two days ago! I waved and honked, in case you were listening.

(Lola has been successfully tossed into the mix, for those of you trying to cleverly deduce who your Secret Santa is several months from now...)

Sadly, my SS will know exactly who I am thanks to Customs.

I'll try to make up the element of surprise in my gifts.
Anyone who gets a huge prize which is making muffled sounds in an English accent may well guess anyway. Or seeping bodily fluids, depending on the rapidity of the post...

That was you??!!?? I thought some trucker was trying to be fresh with me! :D :lol:

Can't it be both? ;)

Just being friendly, I swear! ;)

So, I've been shopping. I've been enjoying the anticipation, the hunt. :)

I'm not done, but I have gathered a few choice items. Wheee!

After some careful consideration, I've decided to send the blue.

My job is done and the item has been sent. Was actually done last week, but I forgot to notify the Master elf.

I have not made it home to do my shipping. I swear I'm trying!

Going to the Post Office today.

I'd better get a wriggle on ...

You better get Fanny moving ... err your fanny moving ... err both:3eye:

Done.

This is incorrect. I am sending the green, not the blue. The blue was too red.

but isn't blue the new black?

*chuckle*

I thought orange was the new black.

that's so yesterday.

Today, pink is the new yellow, rainbow is the new red and ultra violet takes the reigns as the new black. (Subject to recount results)

Ultraviolet Lives Matter

That was very interesting!

Shopping - - done!

Wrapping and packing... Not so much.

But tonight, tonight is the night.

Dear Secret Santa

Thank you for the gift. I only opened it enough to see it's "commando". I'll wait until Christmas.

THANK YOU!

If your secret Santa was Bill Gates...

I was being all cynical, thinking, "Sure, he just had his secretary pick all this out..." but the Photoshop and the Perler bead frame and the papercraft sword feel real. I bet he actually did those. Neat stuff.

He's pretty good. Getting stuff that his recipient would like. Looks like a box full of crap to me though. But then I am not the recipient.

Mine has been sent
Awaiting the arrival of my goody's

Mine has been received. Its under the tree.
Excitement and anticipation have begun.

I've received my gift for a while but never got around to posting it. My gifts, (many so packages, so exciting), are under the tree.

I'm sending a 2 part gift. One has been sent and the other will be on its way today...lol. I know it will be late. :-P

I received my Gift today. And like the animal that I am I ripped it open, and there is something to risque for the cellar. And it works we tried it out earlier and it works great, but Keryx says if I tell anybody what it is she will kill me. Will post picture later.
Thank You Santa Zippy

Bow chicka

I has no santa yet

Another gift arrived today!

Thank you Lola!

Many thanks Santa! I'm delighted to be the proud owner of a Dwellar-made coffee spoon!
Thank you so much!

You may be wrong about the Santa part ... although right about the elf who made it ;)


Sent by magic.

That is a beautiful spoon, Limey

Thank you Santa! I love them all. I will definitely read that book. [emoji1]

Good stuff Lola!

Secret Santa visited Dan "The man"

Last pic with all the goodies. The shirts are Dan's & the drinks are all mine! YUM. Thanks V.

Iff I could post a picture I would. Computers in general are of the devil.

Dan, "The Man", *priceless*! You are the King of Sit Down Comedy!

Hi Lola!

I'm so glad you like them, I was really hoping you'd would appreciate them in the spirit they're offered. A wise friend once told me we all should have "a light". Now you have one (more) from (one more of) your friend(s).

Thank you for the nice gifts!

BV, I'm glad you like your gifts. I forgot to add that the red box the caramel corn came in was given to me by Sundae last Christmas. I was going to buy a new box, but then I decided it would be more meaningful if I use that box.

I really like the spider light and the Gerber multi-tool. I'm hooking the spider light on my backpack and the multi-tool in my purse. [emoji4] The cat is hanging on the mantel above the fire place. And soon, I will read the book. I figure it would be funny to read.
