Secret Santa Thread
Posting on the weekend editionFuck weekday threads makers
Copy and paste shit:
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.
For packages:
>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. It's likely going to be late anyways by this point, unless you shell out for the most expensive shipping option.
>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 rush on and there may be lengthy waits at the post office.
For those in the US, the USPS cut-off dates for latest day to ship by to have a chance of Christmas delivery are:
>Standard Post, Media Mail, Parcel Select
Dec. 15
>First-Class
Dec. 20
>Priority
Dec. 20 as well
>Priority Express (AKA Express, overnight. etc).
Dec. 23
and International mail:
>First-Class
Dec. 2
>Priority
Dec. 2
>Priority Express (AKA Express, EMS)
Dec. 10
>Global Express Guaranteed
Dec. 17 and prepare to be raped by the cost
Letters take less time than packages to travel, but it is likely already too late for letters/cards sent overseas to make it in time.

So wait until the weekend after Christmas?
Today is Sunday, it's still the weekend.
>>118342295
Christmas is a day that transcends the weekday/end shackles.

RT from VA, if you're here, I'd love to know some of your favorite characters.
AS from Cork, Ireland, your package left my country 3 days ago, so I hope it arrives soon. I have the tracking number.
Forgot to mention. The gifts are not wrapped individually. To see your card you will have to wait until Christmas (if you are patient). I'm sorry, it's my first time doing this. ;_; Next time I will do my best.AB from BC, Canada, I hope your card arrives soon.
Anyone sending gifts toSpain?
Merry Christmas!
Thanks AS in CA for the card. I'm glad I got you as my /ss/ since drawing is nice.Posting in every thread til you reply.
>>118344176
I sent a card to spain.It will be late. Sorry if you are from the Canaries!
>>118330065
Posting reply here because other thread fell into the abyss.
Anon of NH, You did? Wow, I must have missed it. I apologize.
No need to worry though, the box you sent came perfectly fine. Everything is in great shape. That little one in the front had a couple tears because of the shape of it I guess.don't worry I didn't peekmore cheesecake chocolate would be beyond awesome
My anon used a nickname, or maybe just a first name, and a PO box. Will there be any problems when he goes to pick it up?
>>118344344
I'mMCS, from Mallorca. ;_;
>>118344967
If there is it's his own fault. Make sure you put a return address on the package just in case.
If you've received a package from JO in FL, please open it.
There are perishables inside.
I'm touched, anon. That's such a cute way to do cards.

Your cards should probably go out tomorrow. Sorry if they are late.
As for the giftNLfrom NL, I'm still waiting for FedEx to deliver the last part of the gift, hopefully I will be able to send it midweek. You can only pray it will get there on time.
>>118347429You aren't my giftee but I wish you were.
>/ss/ said my gift would arrive at his place Dec. 10th and he'd send it from there
>should be here soon if he was able to do it

Nothing, but now there is no surprise.
Hopefully Jose doesnt look at the threads
>>118344628
No worries, it was late in the thread.
And more cheesecake will be added to the package, unfortunatly unless the other packages of gifts I ordered you come in before Wednesday it may run late. I picked airmail shipping, but it's been way longer than a week. And because of the lack of others ordering the pumpkin bread, I may or may not have time to make it for you.
But good news, I had someone order a crap ton of Cider mix from me, so I will be adding a package of that to your gift! So it may just be a package of cheesecake and cider mix that you get before Christmas.
Same thing on the cider mix instead of bread for youHC of PA
Anyone who is sending a card to GH from Netherlands, please consider to change the ZIPCODE from 1991KE to 1991NV. e-mailed organizers ages ago but I guess they are dead.
LGfromNY, did you get your package?
I've been unable to check these threads and the archives don't turn up anything.
>>118347930
good point I'll attempt to delete it and just repost the information later

Zippy, thank you so much for the gifts, I will post pictures when everyone has gone to bed.
>>118349853
Oh shit, Zippy is one of my card recipient.
>>118346984
Oh wow that's my card, I'm glad you liked it anon.
Thanks for the card, /ss/. Unfortunately, my drunk parents couldn't contain their curiosity and opened it when I was at work. Started sweating bullets when they said I 'got a strange pokemon drawing from some girl'. I was very relieved when I saw that it was tasteful and well made, not a semen covered pencil drawing. I have you as an assignment as well and I'm sending your card tomorrow.Sorry for shit quality pic
>>118350309
>>118349853
That power-level hiding feel.
Finally, everything has arrived and has now been wrapped. Time to ship it out tomorrow. If I don't think it will arrive for Christmas I'll hand deliver it myself on my way throughToronto.
>>118346846
It's your santa, did you recieve your package yet?
>package has not arrived yet
It isn't that late yet, there is still time. At what point should I start sweating bullets?
>>118350524
2:00 p.m. on December 25.
>>118350524
tomorrow at 3pm
>>118350309
I'm super glad you like it.
It was the first time I'd made a card like that. I cut the hair out in one breath and nearly fainted.
How does am can secret santa?
>>118348194
Take your time anon, no worries if things run late. You can just wait until everything comes and ship it together.
If you're not able to make the bread, don't worry about it. You've already given me so much.
I'll post pictures of everything I have on Christmas then whenever the rest comes.

JYofOntario, CanadaI sent out your gifts earlier in the week. It should arrive soon. I hope.
>>118350673
Your card, cheesecake, and mix will be there before christmas anon!
I will just ship the other gifts whenever they arrive and hope for a christmas day miracle.
>>118350787
I'll be eagerly awaiting your packages anon.Is it ok if I use the return address on the box to send you a thank you gift and a card?
Merry Christmas!
>>118350978
Awww, you don't have to do that!But yes, the return address on the box is my current address. And the name isn't fake, its just one of my middle names.
>>118350424
I got a package from Oh-Ami Inc. a few days ago.
I'm guessing that was yours. I hid it in the back of my closet to stop myself from opening it.
>>118351546
Yeah, I'm really busy this year so I just had it shipped to your address, I'm sorry. I'm glad you got it.
>>118351635
It's fine, I'm just happy I have it. It really brightened up my day when I got it.

Good taste. I like it. Also I totally though that was a .22 from the thumbnail.
Thanks MI bro! I got it last week but I didn't have time to take a picture until now. I got a nice chuckle out of the hooks and lures.

>>118351794
Also, ifRMfromALandEFfromMNare here by any chance, could you tell me who you're waifu/husbando is and what sort of shows you like? I only have info based off how you wrote me cards last year and want to help give my letters to you two a more personal touch.
>>118350524
I havent' sent out any of my things yet.
I am sending them out tomorrow all via priority so it'll get there with plenty of time to spare
So to answer your question: not now
>>118352191
>pic related
So did you put multiple drawings on your cards?
I just finished all my shitty drawings and I'm about to finally send them tomorrow, but I don't know if I have the energy to draw something inside.
I still have to write something in them too.
>>118352336
I tried to but wasn't too particularly good at it.
>>118352336
I put one drawing on the front, wrote on the inside left panel, another drawing on the inside right panel, and colored in the back with a pattern.Mostly because I got graphite and colored pencil on my hands and there were fingerprints everywhere that needed covering.
>>118352248
I'm just glad it made you happy.<3I've already new ideas on how to go about doing cards too! Looking forward to next year. Here's to hoping your holidays go splendidly!
>118352336
I tried doing one main design/picture on the front, and really small doodles/drawings on the inside of the cards.
>>118350665
It was very nice. Almost makes me feel bad for insulting your taste in my card.almost :^)
>>118352532
Meant for >>118352336 ; I can never type correctly in these threads, it must be the excitement.My anon who asked for Yui, I'm so sorry, I did a really bad job of drawing her, even on the parts I actually put effort into. I hope you can still appreciate it.
>>118352267EF from MNhere. You are too kind to me man, but sure. For shows I like, you can do basically anything from this season if you want. I'm going hard on sports anime recently like Diamond no Ace and Ookiku Furikabutte. For characters I like, Miki from idolm@ster, Korbo, Hinagiku from HnG, Misaka from Index, and any Love Live character that isn't Umi. Really, I'd honestly be fine with anything given you are going out of your way to do this for me to begin with.
>>118352636I know KLK is shit. Also, did the /ss/ staff give you both addresses?
>>118350757
RIP STALKER.
Daily reminder that begging for your initials is sad and annoying.

After looking at the following posts, Georgianon, I guess others got these envelopes too. Am I mistaken in thinking you're my gifter then? Did you really sign up for that many gifts in this bracket, or are you just being incredibly nice to us card anons?
Well, whatever it is, thank you so much, I await eagerly. And I'll try not to post much more about it until it's time to open it for real.I signed up for a gift and 3 cards and you're the only person I've gotten stuff from so far, so I'm quite excited, sorry.
>>118353311
You aren't supposed to post initials in the first time unless it's something important, it was never required nor encouraged.
Now we have a bunch of fags with "my initials haven't been posted, am I getting grinched?" and "I'm xx from xx, please respond". If you sent your cards/gift there is nothing else you should worry about, if your santa decides to give you a heads up that nice, but stop begging and crying for it.
>>118348566
It's like you don't know how a Secret Santa works.
You better hope that Jose from CA doesn't check the archives.
>>118352691
Too kind? Nonsense. Your card was absolutely hilarious when I first opened it up - I wasn't expecting to hearCRAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIINon Christmas of all times. My sides have yet to come down from orbit and I always use your card to show my friends why I love this /ss/ stuff.I'm still really curious how you did that

>>118353747Do you want it to be?Establish emails and let's take it outside the thread and into your pants if you want.
>>118353395
It would only be relevant if you're sending perishables as I'm out of town from the 19th to the 29th. I'll ping the organizers anyways though.
>>118353747

>>118353547
Oh man, you were someone I sent a card to two years ago then. I'm happy to hear you still have the card, you are the second anon I've run into who I sent one to that still has his (unless you are from Florida then I know you personally). Anyways, thanks man, I had fun making it too.
>Wow, that's nice quality! Holy moley!
I'm astonished at how good his card is. It's honestly a bunch of paper arranged that way which is whats impressive, every single black line you see on those character he cut out by hand and glued there. It had to have taken hours to make. I love the guy for making it.
>>118353424
Those other envelops are from other people. I am your santa, I didn't put it in a box sorry.

I'm fromGA. Has it been 2 years already? Gosh, time flies. But of course I'd still have it! I've a pile of all the cards people sent me and I keep them to me as close as possible so I can look at them and get a good laugh and a smile when I'm feeling down.
>>118353751
Sure!
>>118354063
So I had a completely special moment and thought you were another anon who received a perfect replica of the card I got. Holy smokes do I need some rest.
>>118354207
I sent out three of them, each with slightly different dialogue.
>>118353960
>>118354062
No problem! I'm excited to have found you. It's no problem that it's not boxed, but is the gift wrapped and safe to take out of the envelope without actually opening the gift? But I might wait a bit on the card, does it spoil the gift? Either way since you're my Santa I think it'd be nice to be able to open both together on Christmas.
(I knew browsing the threads before I fall asleep was a bad idea though, I saw the one card from you and that other person's big envelope and didn't pay attention and assumed they were both from you.)
>>118354391
>>118354427
Oh snap, well awesome job. They looked almost identical - that's some impressive skills. Also oh jeez, that whateveritis. Ha
>>118353249
is that a strand of hair taped to the card?
>>118354541
Yeah, the guy told me it fell on the card while he was making it, so they taped it to the card as it was destined for me to own. He also said he was drunk writing the card so thats also probably why.
>>118354391
>>118354427
Oh boy.
>>118354459
It'll be fine as long as you don't slash at it with a knife. Its not wrapped, I have very little time with programming and Finals, can't go and get xmas decals and what not.
>>118354704
I guess I'll wait then, but thanks for letting me know to be careful with it. I know how it sucks to be busy, so thank you for still taking your time to get me whatever it is and not be a grinch!
Nozaki phonestrap folks: I'll be mailing out everything tomorrow morning by regular snail mail. I guess it'll get there when it gets there.
