Sent out my cards today

And CR of MA it said you should have received you box, its okay to open it because everything is individually wrapped. But there are cookies in the tins, so you should open them and eat them so they don't go stale.
If you haven't received you box, please let me know.

Sent my present on Tuesday, cards out today. I'm a little worried about the cards. I used a big envelope to hold both the card and the treats I packed in with it. It's not really clear which part the card is in, so I hope no one ends up ripping the card by accident opening it.

I'll be able to send my shit early next week if I'm lucky, I was told that an artbook I ordered was shipped and then a week later I get a refund with "lol sorry, out of stock". Ordered a new one from another seller but lost some precious time. I'll at least use the fastest shipping possible.

Also, my recipient is going to get the biggest fucking AmiAmi box I've ever seen, I'm reusing it because their boxes are pretty good and come with "fragile" printed on them. I'll just add the other shit in when they arrive.

Anyone got MR from Finland?

My three cards are ready to send on Monday. One of the envelopes is pretty stuffed with extras, I hope it's not a problem for the mailman.

The anon I'm gifting lives about half an hour's drive away so I'm thinking I'll wrap his things up nicely and drop them off at his front door myself rather than having to throw it all in a cardboard box and ship it.

It might be a little less, I bought my giftee's item from someone in California and it arrived over here in five days. But as the month goes on the mail's probably going to start slowing down.

Did anyone else feel overwhelmed because their recipient's wishlist was goddamn huge? Mine wasn't a simple anime pro, he's a goddamn anime god and there was so much to choose from I was afraid I couldn't get something that he'd find special.

A bit. I had one person I made a card for who basically only listed their MAL. It was a little hard to figure out what to draw, so I went with a popular character from a popular series.

>>117933927
I'd prefer like, a dozen favorites to choose from. Also, when you literally have 500+ anime listed there's a shitload of titles in the top category no matter what.

Fuck I still have like a card and a half to do. I got too absorbed playing Persona Q. At least I'm in the mood to draw Aigis for one of my anons now.

>>117934042
It happens. Use the time between hard ass dungeons to draw.
>>
>>117934039
Then just look at his list and pick your favorite anime, or at least one you're really familiar with to help with choosing a gift.

That way you have an idea who is considered "best girl" or who is considered the most liked character in that show. I wish my anon had a big old list like that, would've been easier to choose a gift.

So how many of you got your anon something not on their wishlist?

Yeah, you can order free mailing stuff from USPS. However, it takes days to weeks for it to get to you, and then you'd have to ship out your gift and that also takes days/weeks in turn to get to your assignment.

Might as well buy that shit, or ask for some at your grocery store.

Help /a/. I don't know if I'm looking at the right places but my local Hobby Lobby and Walmart don't have any envelopes big enough for my cards. My cards are just regular, folded, 5.5 x 8.5 cards. Staples and Office Max are too far out.

A USPS envelope seems impersonal, but I guess that will be my last resort.

I guess I will. I just hope I can make them secure enough to withstand the machines and the mishandling.
>>
>>117934681
I'll admit, it's pretty bad if you give a wishlist and nothing else. Worse if it's just one or two items. However, I think most anons who did list specific items were open to surprises too. I listed a half-dozen items I like, then a bunch of my favorite series and characters too. I think it also helps your santa get a picture of the kinds of things you like - do you like manga, BDs, statues, toys, etc.

>>117935412
Worst case scenario - get some paper large enough and just make your own.

Different points of view, anon. What you view as shitty will be seen as convenient by another anon because then they won't have to think hard about what to get. It's not any different from a kid asking for a specific model of toy car and "Santa" giving him just that.

It's Christmas. Maybe forget all your displeasure and think about what would make your anon happy?

I'm on your side though. The best part of /ss/ is the surprise and people giving links to specific items is ruining the surprise for themselves..

I also made a wallscroll of their waifu, the tube it came in would be perfect to strip down and rewrap it, but it's too big to fit in even the largest flat rate boxes.

This is only the first of the gifts to come. However, because one of the items will be late, I got you this to hold you over until then.

Expect a letter and a package soon and feel free to open it since more is on the way!

Remaking while spoilering the image because he's possibly a giant faggot. It's alright, I'll love you even if you don't love me.
>>
All gifts for my anon are finally here and I will be wrapping them up for shipping tomorrow.

So I bought a mug for my anon, but it turned out to be quite heavy. It adds like a pound to the package and pushes it to the next tier of shipping cost. The mug cost only $3.50 to get though. Should I exclude it from the gifts? I'm already over bracket and leaving the mug out doesn't cheapen the package of gifts much, if at all.
>>
>>117937981
You idiot the issue wasnt the fact that it wasnt spoilered. its the fact that there IS NO FUCKING REASON TO POST HIS INITIALS ALONG WITH THE GIFT YOU RETARD.

Also he is a faggot and doesnt deserve anything more than the bare minimum

I'm still confused by why someone gifted me a volume of Vagabond manga last year. It had absolutely nothing to do with anything on my wishlist or interests. I can only guess at this point that either my gifter really likes the series and thought I should try it, too, or the book was on sale or a regift.
>>
>>117938147
Did you at least like it?
>>
>>117938103
Yes, but the largest flat-rate box provided by USPS is still too small to hold everything I have. Splitting the goods into two packages means pretty much doubling the shipping cost and be even costlier.

MB of MA your stuff will be shipping out to your second address on Monday or Tuesday, should probably get there around the date you mentioned because I'm using standard shipping.

I wrote up my cards in notepad already, pretty short ~4 sentences and a little more for my giftees

What kind of paper are you using?
This is my problem,
>>
>>117937981
Give it to an anon deserving of a gift and give that faggot an empty box.
>>
>>117939021
Just a few sentences wishing them merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and then something about their waifu or favorite series.
I draw something in the card to take up space as well.
>>
>>117939021
Me too anon. I'm done with the cards except for the messages on the inside. I'd like to write in character, like it's their waifu talking to them, but I'm not witty enough.

How would Erio greet someone, even?
>>
Waiting on the last two parts of my gifts to arrive, I might just send out what I already have on Monday and then send the rest out once it gets here. I finally get a day off on Sunday so I will attempt to do a card or more likely a short letter if I am coherent after the 18 hour day I have tomorrow.

That'd be me. NT is Northwest Territories, not Nunavut, but it should make it to the right place anyway because there is no overlap in town names or postal codes since they just split us down the middle to make Nunavut.

I just used paper from a sketchbook. Thicker than printer paper, not as thick as construction paper/cardstock.

I feel like a shitter though because the first card I received was really well done on cardstock, so I hope I wasnt the only person to use a flimsy type of paper

>>117939210
I was grinched last year.

So I rip one insult card from a /v/irgin, and forever more I deserve nothing despite all my cards making it to them before christmas, and never grinching anyone?

Until I grinch someone I'm not gonna get black listed so fucking deal with it, all of you.

C.K.K. from NV i received your package with my gift in it a couple of days ago. Should i leave it in its package until Christmas, Or did you wrap it up and it's safe to take out?

I has the host e-mail you this question on teh same day I got it, but you haven't responded to him.

I haven't seen my initials but I really don't care. I had fun buying my present and doing my cards so it's already been worth it for me even in the unlikely event that I do get grinched.

The suspense is killing me. I'm still waiting.

But at least I organized a Santa swap with an anon in a previous thread (who didn't get enough assignees) and got his card at least.

I was somewhat lucky. My original intent was to not mentioned mine but he mentioned his initials and I couldn't avoid telling him I was here. I'm too soft-hearted.

I have seen my initials only once.
But again I only posted my anon's initials once, I like to keep them trilled as well.

It makes no fucking point whether I post with my trip in these threads or not.
I've posted without my trip a couple times in /ss/ threads this year.
And surprise, no one has a problem with my posts then.
But then I put on the trip again, posting the same exact way, and people lose their fucking mind.
It just shows people being hypocrites, that it has little to nothing with what I've said, its just because I have a trip.

Anons don't hate you because you post like a retard. They hate you because of what you did. Unfortunately for you, you have a trip and therefore an identity that they associate it with.

Turn off your trip and you lose that identity, and anons won't have a way of knowing that it's you.

I need help here. It's for my oneechan.

Typically we give each other one 'selfish' gift (something that we want the other person to play/read/etc. but they might not enjoy), and a couple of things that aren't necessarily from each other's 'wish lists', but they ought to enjoy.

She's just started delving into VNs, so I figured I'd get her Planetarian as my 'selfish' gift. I already have two physical presents that she's sure to enjoy, but I was looking for another digital gift. She's a bit of a tomboy, and hovers nervously on the border between pretentious geek and actual geek. I was thinking Legend of Grimrock 2, but I'm not sure, since she lost interest in the first one in 'spider hell', where she simply could not progress through the combat (without help). Still, she loved the Myst series, so I think that it's an apt fit, since the second one is an improvement on the first, and has at least a hundred or so unique puzzles and secrets. She also eked out some insane number of hours out of FTL, enjoyed all the Telltale games, plays L4D with friends routinely, and played both Dark Souls games to the end. I'm just stuck on this last item for her.

Help.
