Like I said, anons should have individually wrapped their presents, so you should be able to open the box without spoiling Christmas, unless your /ss/ is a retard and put pastries in a cardboard box too and wrapped it.

Hey, it arrived! Your santa here, you can open the box now if you want so that you can read your card, all your gifts are wrapped, so it won't spoil that.

Although you can wait too if you want.

Anyhow, I would put the "up" side up as there's one heavier item in there and there's less risk of it squatting the other items if you lay it that way.

We have the Savannah College of Art and Design here, so there's a lot of hoity-toity rich hispter students who live Downtown, while the rest of us live in the regular party of the city. Not much to do so as much for night-life, especially as a college student, so my friends and I generally go to someone's house and watch anime all night and play the vidya. Weather here is rediculous, since it'll be 60* one day and 90* the next. It's a really pretty city though - definitely worth visiting.

Sending my cards out tomorrow and feeling real anxious. No idea why I delayed this late. And gift. Will they all arrive on time?

>>118129200
Oh nice! I heard SCAD is a really nice school. Expensive though.
I really should visit one day.
When I have the time and money I guess, hah.
>>
>>118129292
Then that's what you get. I promise it won't be the word "filtered" in big letters in an envelope filled with shards of glass. You'll understand when you get the thing.
>>
If I wait for the rest of the gifts to arrive, chances are it would ed up being late

Should I wait and send it as a full package, or only send half?

I'd say send out what you have already and include a note in the box telling your anon to expect the other half a little later. If you're absolutely poor and can't afford two boxes, send a card/letter now at least to explain your situation to him.

Is this frowned upon? I just hope to see my box in the threads.

So I received a card, now I feel nauseous and nervous in opening it.
>>
>>118129437
I am having the same problem with the last item.

I suggest either:
1 - mail half, and let them know more is coming; or
2 - contact the admin to let them know they haven't been grinched.

If I were recipient, I'd prefer two packages so I have something at Christmas and for pictures in the opening threads.

Not necessarily. Some people don't feel comfortable leaving their addresses and names, but I do in hopes that I can get cards the years to follow - I'm sending my previous santas cards out of appreciation from last year.

YES TO BOTH. I go to Armstrong and I used to deliver food in Savannah and I can definitely tell you that SCAD is ridiculously pricey all around. I would have loved to go though and go into music, since I play a godaweful amount of instruments.

FIRST
Secret Santa Threads are only on weekends.
SECOND
Remember that if you know your gift will be delayed, please notify your recipient and/or the Secret S/a/nta organizers so that you don't get blacklisted.

>Domestic
Please give your packages at least one week to reach your recipient since the post system will be swamped horribly the closer to Christmas it gets. Monday, December 15, is likely to be the busiest shipping day of the year in the US. Try to ship on or before December 17 if possible. It may seem painfully obvious, but there is no mail delivery on Christmas Day. Receiving the gift post-Christmas takes a lot of the spirit out of the occasion.

>International
If you haven't mailed it out yet, do it NOW. Good luck, buddy.

>For the mailing-savvy
Print your own labels at home and save yourself from standing in the infinite line at the post office, or use your workplace's mailing services if it's offered. The holiday crunch is already on and I've witnessed some lengthy waits at the post office.
First-Class will be good enough. The USPS cut-off dates for latest day to ship by to have a chance of Christmas delivery are:

>Standard Post, Media Mail, das slowest mails
Dec. 15
>First-Class
Dec. 20
>Priority
Dec. 20 as well

International mail

>First-Class
Dec. 2
>Priority

>Priority Express (AKA Express)

In short, if your recipient is not in same country as you, MAIL NOW if you haven't done so.

Is it too late to find someone to do a card secret Santa with? I'm in the UK so maybe I should avoid posting to anyone really far away but I want to send/receive a card from /a/.

>>118129950

But no, it's never too late, Anon. Even if it's after Christmas, you will make any Anon's day if they see an extra card in their mailbox. Leave your email and we can chit-chat, I could see if I could send you a card even though I live in the States.
>>
>>118129276
A number of people do send thank cards. I got a "White Day card" from the anon I sent a V/a/lentine's day gift to.
>>
>>118129986

Technically you can leave the sending address so illegible that no one knows where to send it, and leave the return address as the address you want to send it to. It'll take longer, but eventually they'll just "return" the letter. Just don't be a pansy and leave one, silly.
>>
>>118129986
Yes, a letter can be sent without a return address.
I have already received one such card.
However, if the address is wrong and the mail is otherwise undeliverable, USPS will destroy it instead of returning it to you.
>>
>>118129986
It needs a return address.
Anything other than a letter needs taken into a Post Office and mailed.
Unless its FedEx or UPS in which you can use a bubblemailer, drop it in their drop-boxes with one of their labeled, and they'll bill you later.

Get off your lazy ass and stop being so hikki.
>>
>>118130209
Nah, USPS offers drop-off and making your own labels at home. I haven't taken a package to be paid for to the post office for years now.

Plus printing the label through eBay/PayPal gets me bigger discounts by taking advantage of my Top-Rated seller account. It's like a 15-23% off regular rates.
>>

Basically there was a list for gifts and cards and then a card list for people who were late, but they stopped about the 28th or so. Find a way to leave me your address. I'll send you a card, Anon. Don't beat yourself up over it buddy.

>>118130762

Call me a weirdo, but I don't understand why people use lube outside of something like an onahole. Does it actually make jerking off more fun?

It's called Secret S/a/nta for a reason. It's supposed to be for people from /a/ to send each other gifts which was amazing the first time it happened. Now other boards know about it and sign up as well as people that don't even frequent 4chan sign up for it. It went from a close community thing to being a bunch of fags that want free shit.

>>
>>118130880

I can understand your sentiments for wanting closed-community feelings and kinship amongst /a/, but getting uppity about other people getting in on something involving shared interests is a bit silly. I don't care who is from where, so as long as we share an interest and the good spirit between us, not to mention people who ask for shit and don't send things out themselves get added to a black list.

This, I can sympathize with. No need to make yourself a target. I don't care where Anon is from but it shouldn't be a selling point or an excuse for attention.
>>
>>118130641
I wrote small "Greetings from /v/!" on cards I made. I hope some /a/nons get aneurysm from that.

>>118130983
Again, he got his gift with no issues, but he decided to mention after the fact that "HEY LOOK AT ME GUYS I'M A CROSSBOARDER"

I wouldn't give a shit if they didn't say anything. There's no way to know if someone's a newfag, a casual, or a crossboarder unless they make a point to let you know, which is what a lot of them do.
>>
>>118130983
It's probably not hard to get past the blacklist. Just change your email or have the present sent to someone else's address and you get free stuff for another year.

If they really shared our interest then they wouldn't obviously be from /v/ or another board. I signed up for this to give gifts to an anon that I may have called a faggot at some point. Not to some retard that obviously can't fit in and signed up just to get shit.

Are you so focused on making sure no one's feelings get hurt that you're completely blind to the reason why obnoxious crossboarders aren't wanted?

Well plenty of people have their primary and secondary boards. Both /v/ and /a/ seem to be the most reoccurring combination.
>>
>>118131460
Look, you can browse fucking /mlp/ for all I care. But if you are on the /a/ secret santa you ain't going to say that you love MLP and put it on your wishlist. That shit does not fly. If you are on /a/ behave like you are on /a/ and put only /a/ shit on your wishlist and that's about it.

Everyone and their mom here obviously browse more than /a/ but most also have enough brain to realize that bringing up shit from other boards to an event specific to just a single board is stupid. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Easy.

How people can't understand such a simple and basic thing is beyond me.

I don't think you understand what "crossboarder" means. I doubt there are too many people who ONLY come to /a/, but /a/ is still their home board. If you heard about /a/ on /b/ and decided to come here and sign up for free shit, you're a crossboarder. If you spend all day on /v/ and come to /a/, you're a crossboarder.

>>118131326
It's good that you're so easy-going, and I agree to an extent. My issue is with the principle of it.

>Someone not from /a/ signs up for a gift exchange hoping to get free shit
>doesn't know anything about anime, ends up sending someone crappy bootlegs and localized DVDS because he doesn't know better
>nobody has any way of knowing what board he's from, don't ask, don't tell
>He gets his present and decides to tell everyone "I'M FROM /v/ AND I STILL GOT A GIFT WOW GUYS SEE STOP BEING SO ELITIST GOD"

Just think about it.

/c/ is an anime board, don't sweat it.

>>118131488
>Does this make me crossboarder and cancer killing these threads?
Yes. You're bringing up something we all dislike out of some delusional sense of pride
>You can't tell me what to do
Just don't fucking say you're from /v/. I don't know if the person i sent gifts to is from /v/, and I'm not going to worry about it. If he posts my box and says "Wow, thanks from /v/!" I'm going to blow a fucking gasket. You're bringing up irrelevant shit when you know all that will come of it is more people getting pissed off.
