Shipping out week edition

Its time to start mailing everything if you haven't already.
>>
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. Try to ship on or before December 17. 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.
>>
JJ I already sent your gift a few days ago, you might get it in a week or so, merry Christmas.
>>
MHJfromFrance your present was send out on Monday. It might arrive this week or next week. At least going by what my tracking says. So keep your eyes open for it~

To the anon that chose "this item is a gift" while buying on amazon, they don't actually gift wrap shit and just put the stuff in the box, add a "note" saying it's a gift and mail it in a generic brown box.

You mean a large flat-rate box, right?
Unfortunately, she won't fit. The shortest side of her box is 6.3" and the USPS Large Flat-Rate Box is 5.5" tall (6" on the outside). You're going to need something else.
>>
>>117833631
>>117833413
Uh do any of you have the box and can do a quick double check of the box's shortest side? I tried finding pictures but there was nothing to compare her to so I couldn't find the dimensions. A lot of sellers also just listed her dimensions out of box as well.

I have about 20 of those piled in my storage and I can verify the measurements.
I'm guessing that you are thinking of the large Priority mail boxes USPS also provides that are 12" X 12" X 8", but they do NOT qualify for flat-rate.

You know, I did send a letter stuffed with glitter in it last year. I don't think anyone said anything until this past signup.

Is it opaque?
If yes, yes.

Did Luvia wrap the top left one?

>>117835542
heh

>>117835542
The fact that you mention a fate character, when indeed that present is the very fate character she hates, makes me highly uneasy.

>>117832918
He emailed me immediately after I applied to confirm. I got ahold of him anyway, and it's all good now, merry christmas.
>>
>>117835707
well that's nice to hear. Did he respond to your email? Cause I told him to send a mail to my assignment, and he didnt confirm anything
>>
>>117835734
You mean when I applied, or just now? He responded promptly to both, we got stuff sorted.
>>
NVfrom CAI already sent your gift, it should be there by next week.

I have the gift all wrapped but I still haven't made a card. Do you think they'll mind if it's just a short message and not something big or funny like the rest of you guys are doing?

I don't want the guy to think I'm an uncaring jerk

you can contact the host and can send a present to an anon that gets Grinched.

Could you possible send it again to me? It's disappeared from my inbox

I've already received by /ss/ gift. I'm leaving it in the package until Christmas though.

And I've already sent out all my cards and presents too.
>>
>>117836980
sure, I sent it again
>>
>>117819748
I still need a bit more time to make my card, also need to wait until I get my pay check since I'm broke... but it shouldn't be to bad since I should get it soon and ink send it out as soon as I get my check.
>>
>>117836949
But anon, that's the only present that would work for that. Read the labels.

Last day on bedrest so I'm going out to buy card materials tomorrow.
Still debating if I should go buy glitter for a certain someone's card.

Jebus, I still have your CD from last year. I made my boyfriend listen to it in the car when we were driving home from a Thanksgiving family gathering. He liked it, except for the Free! tracks. It was a wonderful start to December.
>>
>>117837120
Yes, you should.
>>
>>117835700
Oh shit, that isn't UBW, is it?

Jebus, I love the CD you gave me this year. Thanks, it's a great way to curb my urge to open gifts.
>>
>>117837182
If I could've gotten my hands on it, it would have been.

My anon probably would have liked that better than what I got him.

I got a box of watercolor colored pencils for making the cards. How do I even do this? I have never used watercolor pencils before.
>>
>>117842444
I've never used them either but I heard they're not too hard to work with. Try looking up a tutorial?

Well we know who's getting blacklisted. Also its not even Christmas yet you faggot, why did you open it?

Because it was not in any packaging.

I've seen you post about this before faggot. Whether you're legit or not, it's obvious that you're just an attention whore trying to incite paranoia among other anons. To which I say:

fuck you
and fuck anyone worrying about being grinched

Tutorial said to use them like regular colored pencils, which doesn't help too much.

Shit. Does it say anything on the box? I thought you were supposed to apply water at some point.

I'm still fucking stuck on ideas, buying for a female around with a 90 dollar limit who's only stipulation is something cute.

I need help.
>>
>>117842983
To incite paranoia.

What? You can't feel paranoid anymore after sign-ups? Haven't you seen the number of desperate anons trying to get the attention of their /ss/ and get them to mention them or something to abate their worries?
>>
>>117840919
Thanks for the speedy response Spoon!
>>
>>117843146
>female

It doesn't fucking matter, just get her something she wants
>>
>>117842983
There is at least a handful of ignorant anons who think the person they're giving to = the person they're receiving from, and then there are selfish anons who refuse to give until their own gifts have arrived because of various reasons, including a misled sense of fairness and "I don't want to be out of money/left with nothing".

The point of those mean-spirited posts is play to paranoia and further deter people from properly completing their participation.
>>
>>117843146
Didn't mention anything else? Man, that's tough. Just buy a bunch of little cute things? Maybe something that's functional too.
>>
>>117843120
Wait I have to dip the pencils in water?
>>
>>117843157
This simply shows the greedy nature of this board. God forbid you simply participate for the sake of making an anon happy for Christmas.
>>
>>117843146
Get plush dolls and keychains, or a cute loli figure if that's within the budget. You can throw in some stocking stuffers like unscented hand lotions or fuzzy socks.
>>
>>117843210
It's in human nature to be greedy and fearful, on top of an anonymous board where there's no real way to punish offenders. A lot of people here are somewhat socially challenged as well.

>use like a regular colored pencil
>dip a small brush in water, wet the colored areas with brush, and watch magic unfold as your shitty colored drawing turns into a shitty watercolored masterpiece.

Don't load too much water in your brush and don't use regular copy paper unless you want holes and wrinkles in your card.

>>117843120
>>117843209
It's usually done to get an intense color from your pencils. You can also draw on wet paper (like the part you just brushed with water)

Check the box. Some brands advise against dipping the pencils in water.

So basically you squandered all your money because you're a retard. You never had any initiative to save in the first place or else you'd have some funds for an actual gift.

Anon, if you're that poor and unskilled, you should acknowledge that cards are the only thing you could've done anyways from the very start.

>>117843721
So how exactly were you operating prior to this job? Where was the need for money previously? Nonexistent?

A girl who's only stipulation is "something cute"? She didn't even list any favorite anime or characters?

I'd be suspicious if I were you. Not that I'd grinch her or anything. The cutest dildo you can find, maybe?
