2014 Secret Santa
More
Matches are going out tonight. I have to do 50+ PMs, so it will take a while. If you have a problem, drop a line in this thread and I'll PM you to see what's up.
So it's getting toward the end of the first of October and there's no Secret Santa thread. So I decided to be proactive and get this started.
To start, I really want to discourage people just in it to get something cool and marginally participate. We've had people in the past who signed up just to get cool stuff and either didn't send anything on, or sent junk on to someone. That said, just because you're not financially well off doesn't mean you can't sign up and make something cool for someone. Remember, Secret Santa is about giving, giving what you feel comfortable giving, and giving something from the heart that you really think the other person will like. You're trying to find something thoughtful based on what you know about them. Some of the best gifts I've ever received were made by someone and most of my gift last round was hand made by me since I was unemployed at the time.

Rules
- You must have 100 posts and be an active member
- You must send your package with tracking
- You can pick a region to ship to
- Each person will be paired up with one other person. That doesn't mean you can't send your own Secret Santa on to someone else, just that each person in the Secret Santa will only be paired up with one other person.
- You must mark your package as from Secret Santa. Remember, this is a surprise.
- No opening your package until at least Christmas Eve. When you do open it, be sure to post pictures
- You must post pictures. It's a huge bummer when someone gets a Secret Santa gift and doesn't acknowledge it. It can be a potato picture, but post something just so everyone knows it got there.
- All Santa pairings will be revealed on Christmas day
- Sign up lasts until November 15th to give a little more time to find stuff and packages must be shipped no later than two weeks before Christmas. Remember, mail is slow this time of year and we want it to arrive in time.

That takes some major skill to do. I'm not mad, I'm impressed.
Totally eligible though. I wanted links to the profile so I could also include the off topic posts. I'm not going to count it against you if you have more than 100 posts, but 99% of them are in off topic. I mean, ~1/3 of my posts aren't counted.

I'm curious as to how this work. Once we have been paired up, the pair sent each other something. Is that how it is? Then what if I'm paired to someone I don't know, or do we get to choose. Newbie here :P
The person youre giving stuff to isnt the same person that is giving to you.
In the google doc, you give a little info about yourself to help out your santa. And youll know their screen name so you can stalk their posts and try to figure out what they like. Like, by reading your posts I know youd love a jack o lantern CC. Its part of the fun finding out what to get them.

One of my favorite things I've ever received through GH Secret Santa is a hand written letter with hand drawn elves. I have the elves framed now. Last year someone sent me a slide rule which was incredible. I love that someone took the time to go through my posts to figure out something I would like. It's all about the little things :D.

Guidelines:
1. Don't be a:
a. ****
b. deadbeat
c. free-rider
d. scammer
2. Do:
a. Put thought into it
b. Give cool ****

there was a lax ~$25USD iirc budget last year.
some went above it, some went below it. but it was more of a "lets hope everybody gets something and we dont have any deadbeats that just want stuff"

2. Do:
a. Put thought into it
b. Give cool ****
basically, this. stalk your elf so u can get them something they want that's around the budget you want to spend.
don't send them an mx keycap because you had an extra and all they use is topre or alps.

I think the give within your means statement is always appropriate. If you can only afford $25, including shipping, only spend $25. If you can afford more and want to give more, do it. I know that since I have a job now, I may spend a little more on my person than I did last time or may have to send less hand made stuff.
If you don't have a ton of money, there are some cool things you can make that aren't expensive. A wood wrist wrest, for example, can cost under $10 to make depending on what supplies you have on hand at the time. If you can draw, I know plenty of people would love to have a piece of artwork. If you have nail polish and crap caps lying around, you can try your hand at making some fun polish caps. Just think of the things you can do, of your skill sets, and you can find something great to give, regardless of your budget.
basically, this. stalk your elf so u can get them something they want that's around the budget you want to spend.
don't send them an mx keycap because you had an extra and all they use is topre or alps.
And don't be that guy who sends the ****ty caps from you SP crap bag and nothing else. There were some of those last year and I know some people felt taken advantage of because of stuff like that.

But if you read a few posts above, the rough guide from last year was $25. But I think that the thoughtfulness of the gift is more important than the dollar amount.
Post by: Skuloth on Wed, 08 October 2014, 10:28:51
I think an HD600 or 800 would be a fine gift :P
From experience HD600s are a great Christmas gift. I absolutely love mine.

HD800 sound like an amazing gift! Unfortunately all the TOTL headphones are sold out locally (I'm seriously trying to figure out who's buying them all because there were at least 2-3 of each of the hifiman and sennheiser TOTL)

This is what makes a Secret Santa to me. I spent more that $25 on shipping alone (and that was within the US), because the gift I built was like 10 lbs. Do a bit of research on your person by seeing what they are posting and where and see what they are into.

After you get assigned your person and it ships.
Count me in....what do I do next?
Wait. Then buy. Then ship. Then receive. Then open. The take pictures. Then post.

When will match-ups be dolled out?
It's in the OP.
That said, I will advance it and close the sign up if it goes a week without anyone signing up for Secret Santa after October 24. I'm actually surprised to not see some from last year haven't signed up and that there's no one from CtrlAlt on the list.
And leave a post if you signed up but I missed you somehow.
Post by: nubbinator on Wed, 15 October 2014, 21:16:38
Remember, if there aren't any sign ups in the week following 10/24 it will be closed and Santas will be assigned. I may move the timeline up depending on the sign ups.
In other words, prepare to get creepin'.

C'mon, give me a break. Appart from crystallography, I'm a senior craftsman and a small package from CL to almost every northern hemisphere country is 25 USD, that'll go from my pocket. Shipping a hefty keyboard as a model M to the US is about 200 USD because of it's weight mostly.
The one that gets to be my secret Santa should be proud. Mr. Wood's got a valid point. I do sculpture work on commission and give away free stuff (or almost free) and my prices are not cheap.

Let's all cut up our Click Clacks into 8 pieces, ship them to different people, and when glued together, they can be the Click Clack Mish Mash.
This would be amazing =P

Boo! Shame!
but, seriously, thanks for being responsible and not making the baby demik cry because he did not get a gift from his three wise men on Christmas.
Yeah I'm really sorry of backing out, last year was super awesome and I was looking forward to doing it again, but this year I'm just super busy and don't want to mess anyone around!

Alright, they should all be sent out. And I realized with one person I ****ed up and matched them with someone outside the US when they specified within the US. I offered to help out with shipping cost if it was too much, but if anyone else is willing to chip in a couple of dollars to help cover the costs, make a note in here so that we can help out when time comes if need be.
I'd be happy to help out. :)

Hmmm. What to get the person who has everything? :rolleyes:
If it makes you feel better, my person isn't easy either. I did some stalking and I think I'll be getting/making some things they like.

I've got two weeks??? This is probably going to have to be done in a couple of batches... I really wish we had longer... Like a couple of months...
You have ~1 month. Everything is supposed to ship a minimum of two weeks before Christmas, though you might want to aim for three if you're international. If you do Flat Rate within the US or whatever your local version is within the country, one week prior might do it. The post just gets swamped this time of year.
I think noisyturtle was one of the late ones last year.

Time to write a python script to stalk my person and generate gift ideas for me. Muahaha... #technologyrocks
I may have to talk to you about a script to help make next year's assignments easier. I found a site that worked this year, but it would be easier to have a script that could read a spreadsheet and yes/no or numeric codes and make assignments from that. All you'd need to be able to distinguish is country (or number for country) and willingness to ship internationally, ship within the same country, or ship within the same continent, then create rules based on that for who can ship to who. If it got really fancy, it could even automatically send assignments to e-mail addresses with values from the address and about me fields so that it's a surprise to everyone involved.
Why haven't I learned how to code yet?

Pfft, you could do that with a macro in VBA. You might kill yourself writing it, but it could be done! :))
Post by: swill on Mon, 10 November 2014, 17:38:29
Ya, I could probably do that. If it is in Google docs it will be easier because I have already worked with libraries for Google docs that can treat spreadsheets as databases and worksheets (tabs) in a spreadsheet as tables. It works pretty well and makes for a pretty awesome data collection / manipulation framework. Especially with data being entered with Google forms.Time to write a python script to stalk my person and generate gift ideas for me. Muahaha... #technologyrocks

Now that I think of it, I could probably build a pretty sick tool for running GBs with this mechanism as well. Not that I want to take on any GBs at this point because my time is pretty limited.

My package will travel 13,700 km :). I'll ship tomorrow. #MandolinCaps.

So ****ing dumb. Harbaugh takes them to the playoffs every year and it's still not good enough. At some point you need to start blaming the players for their piss poor performance.

At this point I don't blame anyone but Kap. He literally has not learned a thing. After all this time he STILL has terrible clock management, he STILL never throws away passes (instead he loves being sacked), and he doesn't trust his guys to run the routes! I know the 49ers have been hurt by injury all season but at this point with our talent we should be doing much better than 7 and 5.
As for my SS I wasn't able to write a card. I didnt't think of doing so! :( fail...

I sent my Secret Santa package today. I'm sad because the PO lady insisted I use my real name instead of "Secret Santa" :(.Ya. I have run into this before, so I am always sure to print off my shipping label at home with it paid and everything. Then when I go to the post office I skip the line and just drop it counter and say "its ready to go. Please scan it when you have a minute." and then I peace.
It probably helps that I ship like 20 packages a month so they all know me at this point.

Yeah, I live in a town of about 250 people, and we have a tiny PO that only employs two people at the counter, and only one is there at a time. I ship stuff with some regularity, but they seem to know everyone in the town and are super cool about stuff like thatI sent my Secret Santa package today.

I'm charged by weight and fastness of delivery, but charging that much extra for tracking is just BS (not buckle spring)! In some places you could have express shipping for that much.

Thank you Secret Santa, you have truly made my year.

I just received mine and all I can say is wow! I am truly humbled. I didn't know it was my Secret Santa gift and when I opened the box, the hand written letter was right on the top . The amount of thought and generosity from my Santa is beyond belief, I literally have no words for it right now I am so blown away.
Since I opened the package on accident, I will not post any pictures until Christmas.

That's what this is all about! I hope everyone who participated in the secret santa feels this way.

I fretted quite a bit, but in the end couldn't find a suitable gift.
I crossed my fingers and threw some tasties in there.
Really hope mine likes it too.

I put all the ones that I had receive shipping/tracking info for on the list, hence why I have one marked as "No tracking information given, marked as "N/A" on the form".
Additionally, some people have PMed me instead of marking the form in the OP that I'm using to track the shipping. So if you PMed me, please put the information in the form in the OP instead.
Like I said, I had a **** day today and wasn't going to do this today, but I'm updating the OP so people have additional information. Sorry for the passive aggressiveness, I just wanted to relax and unwind before going back to a cluster**** tomorrow because a hospital illegally dumped one of my conservatees.

I really wish my last apartment complex wasn't run by asses and filled with even more asses. Told them I moved and that I had two more packages arriving at my old place. They said, "No problem. We'll hold it for you and you can come pick it up." I'm not sure which package being sent there is my SS one but I know one of them was marked as delivered. When I went down, the current resident and the leasing office both swear up and down it never was. Post office claims it was. Great.
Normally, an apartment complex full of asses is a great thing, but in your case, it sounds terrible.
I hope you can get it sorted sooner than later, bro. :-[

FrostyToast, your santa said they sent it, but they're not sure where they dropped the tracking. I sent you a PM about it.
I am still waiting on an update from the people who are shipping to Shadovved and terrpn. They have been PMed, but no response yet. As stated several times earlier, the public shaming will commence on them tonight if they don't provide any information by then.

Definitely Canada, Vancouver Island Salt Co, Maple Syrup, lollipops with maple leaf wrappers. The antique hellraiserish puzzle box will open the gates of glorious MX switches.The smarties and coffeecrisp also gave it away because you can't buy them in the US (not sure about other countries).

I remember last year the guy I sent to stuff for SS was away on a critical company visit and he's into top secret cyber security thingy, so he had no access to his public email, phone, social network, etc, no connection to the outside world. He got back in March/April I think, and I had sent him quite a bit of Indian sweet stuff and dry foods. So when I finally got in contact with him, I found out he was moving houses and hadn't had time to open packages from when he was away. The first thing I told him was, "Don't eat the food stuffs". Hahahaha.
I hope this or a similar case is the reason for the few people who have been scrouged.
Really funny about the package though. :))

Scrooge list potentially avoided. That said, if anyone still hasn't received their gift by early to mid January, let me know so that we can bar some people from future involvement and so that I can get something scraped up for you. The last thing I would want is for someone to walk away empty handed.
I know everyone is being polite and saying it's about the giving, and don't get me wrong, I know the giving and seeing their reaction is immensely rewarding, but I know we all want a little something thoughtful from our person. If it falls through, I know we'll be able to put together something thoughtful for anyone who missed out.
And I'm having the hardest time not opening my gift. I'm debating opening one because I started to read the card and noticed that the gifts given were mentioned in the card! I could not abort fast enough. Fortunately only one is semi-blown.

I am going to start off with saying that I got extremely spoiled by my S.S., ridiculously so. I am still in awe of the generosity that I have received and want to say again, a huge thank you. The amount of thought as to what I would like was awesome.
As stated before, I accidentally opened this package when it arrived several days ago as it was shipped with my return address which is something my Dad does so I thought it was from him.
Inside the box I found a letter on top and all the little presents in a bunch of peanuts. The GPU was in bubble wrap. :eek:
(Recreated - sort of - box opening):
[attach=1]
Everything laid out:

The Tein Dampachi doll is already in the window of my car (I will post a photo later after I clean the car and will also add the spoon socks then) as well as the air freshener. There is truly no replacement for the squash air freshener - it's the best. The keychain is very cool - the thing is metal and the turbine actually spins when you blow into it. I am waiting for a day off of family and Christmas stuff to strip down my computer and build it on my new test bench with the GPU planted right on top. :thumb:

An awesome card from Katushkin and a box of goodies from the UK :D
I may be weird but I think it's the coolest thing, when you go to a different country, to just go in a normal supermarket or whatever and try stuff you've never seen before. And I have never been to Britain so I've never had almost all of these.
(http://i.imgur.com/grFb2wX.jpg)
Like Jaffa Cakes. I've always read/heard about these things being this British food but had no idea what they were, going to try them first :) There seems to be some kind of orange content to them, from the can/tube?
And a funny thing, the one thing I have tried in the lot and don't really like is the Werthers. But, when I'm opening the package my SO goes "ARE THOSE OLD PEOPLE CANDY?" and it turns out they are his favourite.. so he now has a bag of Werthers to enjoy at work too :p
And Santa gave a second package too :O Both were in super nice boxes and decorated, a lot of effort went into this and I am super lucky.
(http://i.imgur.com/Hk1ztA0.jpg)
Switch tester :D I have really been wanting one of these because trying to explain to rl people the concept of what I make and why on earth people spend so much money on keyboards is often a bit awkward. Now anytime someone is interested I can get them to push the buttons and see what the fuss is about, and maybe get an idea of which one they would like :D And katushkin is even going to send me a couple of other switches once he gets them. Like jailhouse blues, which I have always wanted to try.
Plus the Miami face cap dude and an inflatable Santa addressed to Noko on the back :D And more chocolate heh.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zesdq51.jpg)
Christmas pudding moustache man and inflated Santa now improving my crappy tree, complementing the half-cut ribbon cable, USB thing, and protein shaker ball :p

Inside the package was a nifty old Zenith keyboard with a broken G cap and yellow Alps, a plastic Danbo model that you put together (if idiot me can figure out the non-English directions), some candy, including some awesome little candies I sometimes get from a Thai restaurant I love, and a hard to make out hand made knight's helmet cap that looks like it's made from plaster and hot glue.
(http://i.imgur.com/kRozFan.jpg)
All in all it's a fun gift and it looks like there was a little bit of stalking involved with it. Thanks Hwood!

Crappy photo due to having an ancient D70 that deals poorly with low light and not having the setup to get proper lighting for something this sized. Then post processed to get a retro feel to it since I felt it was appropriate for the gift.Once I got that board in the mail, I debated keeping it cause I liked it so much :p And that cap was just some stupid little thing I did when I was thinking about making some of my own caps (not that it would even stand up to casting) :)) I actually never though about what language those danbo instructions would be though
Inside the package was a nifty old Zenith keyboard with a broken G cap and yellow Alps, a plastic Danbo model that you put together (if idiot me can figure out the non-English directions), some candy, including some awesome little candies I sometimes get from a Thai restaurant I love, and a hard to make out hand made knight's helmet cap that looks like it's made from plaster and hot glue.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/kRozFan.jpg)
All in all it's a fun gift and it looks like there was a little bit of stalking involved with it. Thanks Hwood!

Really happy with my presents, the 62g gold springs will be perfect for my next board and the cable perfectly matches my GH60 setup at the moment. It's especially nice because it's the sort of thing I always find hard to prioritize money for.
The Kit Kats were amazing as well, they have pretty much taken over peanut butter M&M's as my new favorite hard to find candy :)
Thanks Santa :thumb:

This is such an awesome gift! Somehow it's the exact shade of my favorite color and has a white fox on it :eek:
It feels really nice too - it's firm without being too firm.
My main board is a TKL so this is the perfect size.
I feel like I'm bragging ^-^
Anyway, thank you

So finally I have come back to my computer and I am able to post pictures.

Here was my letter laid out on top, with a little bit of deciphering to do. But I think due to looking at a little bit of what I think was a royal mail sticker on the box, it is from Fire Brand :D All of my little packages were individually wrapped as well which was pretty awesome :)
(http://i.imgur.com/XvXSqvL.jpg)
And here is everything I got! I got a cool Abrams replica tool bag (which I asked for), and a set of sky blue Keycool caps (which I haven't had time to test out yet, but it looks like a full KC84 set!)
(http://i.imgur.com/mEhHecP.jpg)
I also got a load of little lego guys which are going to get dotted around my desk, and a Lego Tie fighter model which I may super glue together and hang from the rearview mirror in my car :D
(http://i.imgur.com/tKgXbeT.jpg)
I got some super cool lego valve caps for the tyres of my car which are really really cool. I do like Lego :D
(http://i.imgur.com/3kWr2tI.jpg)
And finally I got a little Danboard figure as well! We spent ages trying to figure out if he was a charger for your phone (don't know why we thought that) but it's really cool and is also going on my desk :)
Thank you Santa!

And discovered it contained two large and heavy TKL-sized gifts plus 10-15 smaller gifts, all individually wrapped. And some envelopes marked "open after you guess your Secret Santa." I took a bunch of photos I need to de-rez and post, but I have to say:
#1 The gifts were (are) awesome!
#2 I am very impressed and thankful to my Secret Santa.
#3 I have some suspicions, but without some investigation, I have not deduced who my SS actually is. :-\
But thanks very much indeed!

p.s. I have now figured out just who could have made all three custom items in my gift. Thanks very much!
p.p.s. I now (very belatedly) get the cloning joke. I'd always thought "Dolly" was an odd name for a monster!

Welcome Ron. I'm looking forward to the pics.
And the wrist wrests were supposed to be Model M sized. I went off the Unicomp M I have. I hope I didn't accidentally mess up the length. Hope the controllers work too. I know they're not Teensy, but I noticed that Soarer didn't have that much trouble getting them to work with his code, so I got them since they were more affordable.

Didn't have time to post my pictures yesterday, it was pretty obvious who my SS was ;)Hahaha. It was from me. Though I can see how you would get that messed up though. I was gonna send you just the purple caps because you said you liked that colour (man after my own heart) and then some other goodies, but the rest of my keythulhus felt so lonely without them. Hope you enjoy then!! ;D
Thanks so much Binge!

In my haste to open the box I neglected to take a picture of it. However, I did get pictures of all the contents!
The obligatory keyboard related stuff.

I'm particularly fond of this guy and he's found a home on my poker for the time being

There was also a small assortment of snacks.
(http://i.imgur.com/ji8wd0X.jpg)
Some foreign magic cards and sleeves which you can never have too many of.
(http://i.imgur.com/ODPMDok.jpg)
And finally a pilot metropolitan fountain pen and some purple ink for it and my other pen. Purple obviously being the best color.
(http://i.imgur.com/lqwsVo2.jpg)
Thanks Secret Santa! I was going to write about all of this stuff with my new pen, but the paper in my office is garbage and the ink was running on it :( I'll need to go find my other note books when I get home before I can play with it :P

Shadovved got me a Cherry key puller which is actually amazing!
The little band around the neck allows me to put my Beast tools on them which makes this the most amazing all-in-one keyboard tool!
The clear stem that came on it could also be something that I use to loosen up key stems if need be! :thumb:
My potato camera suddenly fixed itself on its own!
So let's get right into it and post some potato pictures which have been heavily filtered!

I'm pretty sure my package is lost to the void. Or whoever is living at my old address just pinched my package and lied about it. Either way... :'( Nothing good ever comes from moving. I feel really ****ty and I'm sorry to whoever was my SS. This was my fault. :(
That's the worst!
Happened at my old place too.
Lost a couple hats and a couple video games that were in the void.
Post by: swill on Sat, 03 January 2015, 13:28:28
Whoever was my SS, I'm still trying to hunt down the package that got delivered to my old address. I actually spoke to the leasing office today and they said no package under my name was ever delivered since I moved out so...I dunno. Pretty frustrated and it's partly my fault for not being quicker on the draw to update my address everywhere. Unfortunately, that just adds to my frustration so...yeah. Still hoping but not exactly happy, at the moment. Every single time I call that office, I get into an argument with them and I'm a pretty easygoing guy.Have you gone and knocked on the door at your old place? Its a lot harder to lie to someone face to face. Also, the super may just not know that the package was delivered to the apt.

I did this at an old address. UPS showed that the package was signed for and showed me the scribble of a signature. I went to the old place to ask them about it and they flat out lied to me, told me they never received it.

I would call the postal service and ask them to follow up at the address it was delivers at. It is a federal offence to steal post, so the package may randomly appear if they inquire about it.Whoever was my SS, I'm still trying to hunt down the package that got delivered to my old address.

terrpn, I also PMed your person again. They state that they dropped it in a post box over a week ago and they have no clue what's going on. It's still stuck in pre-processing. They stated that they're going to contact the post office to see what's going on. If nothing arrives, contact me and I'll work something out for you.
Mandolin, your Santa has been in constant contact with me trying to figure out what's going on with their package and apologizing. They stated they've talked to you about it as well. Let me know if it doesn't arrive and we can try and get it resolved.

You never sent the tracking via PM. I was going through the Google doc and didn't spot it at first. It's a lot of data, so just chill out, mistakes happen.
That is incorrect, it was shown that PM was indeed replied.
EDIT: I am also not home to pick up the parcel right now, I didn't get any tracking info, so I don't know if it had arrived or not, otherwise it's been sitting at the concierge. Thanks.

Then I don't know what happened to the PM. The post office was the first thing I went to on Monday (29th) morning since Post wasn't open on 24th until 29th, and it was the first thing to PM you as soon as I get home for post office. Thanks.

Don't worry, you'll be getting something. I'll make it happen if your person doesn't come through.
And there will be a few people who won't be allowed to do it next year should I be the one to run it again.

It's alright, Hoff. I did the same thing. :'(
Nubs and Frosty, I'm gonna drive down to my old place one final time on Monday as well as doing what Swill suggested. Fingers crossed. I'm hoping it'll still magically show up at my new place. I'll keep you guys updated.
Oh man, I really hope it shows. I feel bad that you were over the top generous with me, while you are gift-less. By the way, I am super stoked on the gifts from you. I just rebuilt my main rig onto a custom test bench and installed the new card. It is awesomely silent and blows through the games I play (SC2/Diablo/Borderlands series). I love it.
Also, I took some pics of the drive I went on yesterday through the hills of DeLuz. Dampachi joined me, but had to be relegated to the front seat since he kept sliding across the dash.

Here is his normal spot:

And a quick pic of my new setup. It looks kinda odd to me having an ITX mobo hanging out on top of a full size test bench with a huge gpu hanging over the front, but it works and is nearly silent sitting 3 feet from my head. :thumb:

Thank you again Sent for the generosity and thought that you put into my gift, it really did make for a wonderful Christmas. I hope you had a great holiday too (other than the obvious SS issues).

:'(Dear Hoffman;
Should not have read who my santa is...
You've been a good boy this past year and you should have been rewarded for that in a timely manner. I apologize on behalf of the ****ty parcel service involved in my procurement of your gift item. I can only assume they were experiencing a higher than normal volume of traffic at that time. I hope you like it. It's been travelling across North America since early November.
Your beloved: Santa
P.S. Ho Ho Ho.
Praise Girlshark

Thank you again Sent for the generosity and thought that you put into my gift, it really did make for a wonderful Christmas. I hope you had a great holiday too (other than the obvious SS issues).
I'm just glad you liked the gifts. Awesome Fit, too. I actually really love that car. I've driven a few of them that have been stripped down, welded cages, boosted, etc. They're insanely fun to toss around on the track. :thumb: There was supposed to be more to your gift. I had ordered a few of those new Noctua 80mm fans that just came out but they got shipped way late. I was afraid I wouldn't get your package out in time so I just shipped it early. I had remembered reading that you were into itx as well and well, I'm sure you know how bad temps can get in small cases. Now that the Santas have been revealed, I'll toss them in a box and ship 'em out.
Now that Santas have been revealed..
Sent, I am going to work on getting you something else. I am really sorry about forgetting about your move. :'(
Nooooo no no no no no no. Please, don't. I appreciate the generosity but it was totally my **** up. I wasn't quick enough on the draw with updating my address. It was a really hectic time for me and I wasn't on top of things. This is pretty much all my fault, save for the crappy treatment from my old complex. Seriously, though. I'd feel awful if you got me something else. :(

As far as the Fit, I really love my car. I originally bought it as a gas mileage commuter, but still wanted something fun to drive. As parts have worn out, they have been replaced with performance parts.

Thanks Lingj! Mind giving me the name of the grape candy you sent? It was delicious.
No problem! Glad you like the stuff. the grape candy is Meiji Kaju gummy. You can sometimes find them in Chinese grocery stores/Asian markets and they come in little packages stringed together with assorted fruits.

Ahhhh yes. I put that fake jewel on there. It was the one and only one I had left from previous wrapping jobs for family! I picked out the tinkerbell wrapping paper just for you, Hoff!! That Cosmo magazine cost me about $7 tho so you had better get some useful tips out of there Grrrrlllfriend!!! Wasn't sure about what kinda flow you have or your preference between pad and pon so I mixed it up a bit. I'm wild like that. But enjoy that Thwomp pillow and I know the coffee crisps are long gone by now!That gift is ****ing hillarious Hoff. Maxi-Pad, tampon, and Cosmo.

I’m halfway convinced men do complicated shaving rituals because they’re jealous of all the time women spend putting on makeup.

Disposable razors in the shower. If my shave isn�t as close as it could be, or if I occasionally cause some skin irritation, too bad.
That's nice that you have decent skin then, I have eczema so any skin irritation turns into "OH GAWD WUTDAFAWKDIDUDOTOURFACE!!!?!?!?!"

I miss wet-shaving, got all the goods including a 59 Fatboy but now my beard means it sits there unused!I have not put a blade to my face in years. The shortest my facial hair gets is what my clippers will do without an attachment. :)

Glad you are loving CPTBadAss, but hey, making shaving more enjoyable is always a good thing.Shaving! Pfffff. So last year.
I kid of course. But seriously. Beard > No beard.

Don't get me wrong I loved having my beard, but wet shaving is really enjoyable in my opinion just because I find it relaxing and time to just sit and think.

Post by: samwisekoi on Mon, 12 January 2015, 10:02:44
They are indeed WASD UV printed with a clear-coat on top, so they should stand up to normal typing. (Assuming you don't mind poking that little girl in the eyes as you type!)
Anyhow, glad you like them. :D

Since people are interested, I'll start coming up with something for it. Might it be more fun if we did a theme, no-keyboard related stuff run, or dollar limit? I really want to encourage some more thoughtful or handmade things instead of just buying something from EK or Techkeys and sending it on.
It think this would be a great idea. Keep the limit to something like $20 and make the gifter really think about it (also, the giftee really needs to try to provide some details about the things they are into and other things like clothing sizes/fav bands/ fav colors, etc...).

Well it depends really. The person I was gifting to didn't seem to want clothing which is fine xD
Also if you need help setting up this summer santa I can help since I'll be paying off a summer vacation when this rolls around and won't be participating

To start, I really want to discourage people just in it to get something cool and marginally participate. We've had people in the past who signed up just to get cool stuff and either didn't send anything on, or sent junk on to someone. That said, just because you're not financially well off doesn't mean you can't sign up and make something cool for someone. Remember, Secret Santa is about giving, giving what you feel comfortable giving, and giving something from the heart that you really think the other person will like. You're trying to find something thoughtful based on what you know about them.
Theme:
There weren't really any theme suggestions, but CPTBadAss' made the assertion that he wants what 2chainz wants. Thus, the theme is Off the Chainz, a 2chainz Summer. Make it as serious or ridiculous as you want, just try to make it something 2chainz would want...like waking up in a Bugatti. And if this goes sideways, we can all blame it on CPTBadAss.
(http://www.flixist.com/ul/214122-santa-chainz.jpg)
And whatever you do, don't send a stripper to someone's house or work address.
Rules
- You must have 100 posts and be an active member
- You must send your package with tracking
- You can pick a region to ship to
- $20 minimum, no maximum. This is to try and prevent freeloaders or people sending on crap they don't want instead of putting thought into a gift. Thoughtful handmade stuff is encouraged even if it's under the dollar amount. Quality and thought are what count.
- Each person will be paired up with one other person. That doesn't mean you can't send your own gift on to someone else, just that each person in the pool will only be paired up with one other person.
- You must mark your package as from Summer Santa. Remember, this is a surprise.
- No opening your package until the Summer Solstice, June 21, 2015. When you do open it, be sure to post pictures
- You must post pictures. It's a huge bummer when someone gets a and doesn't acknowledge it. It can be a potato picture, but post something just so everyone knows it got there.
- All Santa pairings will be revealed in the beginning of July
- Sign up lasts until April 20th to give a little more time to find stuff and packages must be shipped no later than two weeks before the Summer Solstice for international and one week for shipments within your own country.

Post by: CPTBadAss on Tue, 07 April 2015, 07:45:04
I can't see how this would go sideways. I mean I just want everyone to have maximum amounts of swag....and to aspire to find a nice, well educated SO to grow old with. I'm pretty sure that's what 2chainz is all about.
I think no matter who I get, someone is going to get a ridiculous thing from me in addition to something cool. I gotta step up my game from Christmas. I was embarrassed at how bad my gift was.

Two weeks before the Summer Solstice, so June 4th. The two weeks early is a little less critical for this one since we don't have the Christmas rush, but it would be nice so that everyone does have their packages before the Solstice.

Also, I apologize to whoever gets me, I couldn't get the 2 Chainz music box mechanism to work with the cardboard box it's shipping in, so you will not be serenaded with the sweet sweet melodies of Mr. 2 Chainz when the box is opened.
SWEEEET. I'm actually really glad that you gave such a long time. I'm such a lazy POS, i havent gotten anything done yet. I mean, i've been "busy"...
I'm waiting for all my stuff to come soon. I need some more inspiration :thumb:

I'm also definitely glad we got so long for this one. I still have a ton of work to do for this lol. At least my semester ends on thursday, so I'll be free to actually do it.
Thursday??? Lucky.
I still have two and a half weeks or something like that :(

Who knew it was so hard to find a Mercedes or Bugatti Hot Wheels? Ugh. I got something that *looks* like Bugatti and a fire present. So between that good present and the mixtape I'm making, it'll have to do.
I wasn't kidding. **** was impossible. I still think I got some fun stuff for mine. I was also debating painting the box gold.
And picking songs for a mixtape and the order is tough.

the cost of tracked shipping to another country is gonna kill me :-XYou should be able to use USPS first class, and the customs number is your tracking number. I would double check with USPS, but I sent a package to AUS and it worked that way. In the end it was ~$30 cheaper.

I definitely recommend checking first. This might be something new they are doing, as I have had other people tell me that last year you could not do this. I would hate to give you bad information and ruin it for someone else.oh i didn't know we could use that number! sweet :Dthe cost of tracked shipping to another country is gonna kill me :-XYou should be able to use USPS first class, and the customs number is your tracking number.

Such an awesome gift.
I'm gonna take a guess that it was samwisekoi, though the accuracy of my guess may have to do with the fact that I looked at the list. :rolleyes:
I really can't express how cool this gift is. It was worth the suspense of having to wait till getting back to Boston to open. ;D

I will be moving from my current address into a new place starting on June 6th. I'm still waiting on final mailing address cause of weird circumstances so if you have me, I'll be sending my updated address to Nubbs as soon as I get it.
If it's too late, I will still have access to the old address but I would prefer that we don't run into that complication.
Sorry for the inconvenience :(

Uggggh I shipped out the first part of my gift but unfortunately the custom gift(the one with the most meaning) I ordered wasn't going to make it until the 3rd week in june so I changed the address to the persons house instead of me receiving it then having to ship out again. So now my gift is coming in 2 parts
Same.

Nubs, do we have a public list to see whose gifts have shipped/arrived?
I don't know if everyone has supplied info in the shipping info in the form I posted (http://goo.gl/forms/Us4XDFwhMG), but here's the recipients I have so far:
- CPTBadAss - delivered
- ghostJUGGERNAUT - delivered
- flyersfan1 - delivered
- noisyturtle - delivered
- do_Og@n - delivered
- SYnjin - delivered
- FoC_Tow - delivered
- DrHubblePhD - delivered
- Skuloth - one delivered, one ???
- HoffmanMyster - delivered
- feizor - delivered
- Asdfjkl36 - delivered
- Zeal - delivered
- PwnNarwal - delivered
- Moralless - delivered
- binge - delivered - Pics posted! (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=63501.msg1780366#msg1780366)
- Hellcatz - should be delivered
- billnye - delivered
- Cottonsox - In transit
- pexon - In transit
- azhdar - In transit, arrival date of June 18th
- sed8op8 - In transit, set to arrive on Friday.
- nubbinator - finished, shipping soon
- BadWrench - the special little something is supposed to arrive tomorrow and the package will be shipped quickly after it arrives.
- booper - stated they're running a little behind and it will ship in 1-2 weeks, but that it will be awesome.
- Joey Quinn - waiting on a special something to arrive that's taking longer than expected. Will let me know when it arrives and package ships
- Halverson - shipping this week
- Rotaku - still waiting on an update
- strafe - still waiting on an update, you got someone who's reliable, so they're probably just swamped right now
I'm about to send out a mass PM since there are a ton of people who did not give shipping confirmation.
Edit: And PMs sent. I'm really hoping most people just forgot to input the tracking info since that's almost 60% of the participants who haven't given tracking info. I already think one person bailed even though they received something, so I hope we don't have a bunch of problems this time.
Edit 2: Still waiting for update on 8 more, which is ~30% of participants.

I'm hoping that what I'm afraid happened didn't happen with you. If it did, I'll out them and scrounge something up for you. I won't be able to do anything like I got my summer santa since everything hit hard at once, but it will be something you should be happy with. In the meantime, I continue to hope I'm wrong.

I called it Ringside (but not on the tape) since it's all about right hooks and heavy beats (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB1ygpnlK_I&list=PLCiyFdr9GM8Q5QSFzTRW476kLJUtDvyLI). Lyricism is lacking on some of the songs, but I wanted something that flowed and had some crazy beats throughout.

I would never let that happen and it's good to see others wouldn't either. Look back a few pages for the person who got screwed over during the Secret Santa. I made sure they got a decent little package.

strafe, as I thought, your santa got swamped. They'll get something out to you, don't you worry. They're a good and reliable person, so it will happen, if a little late.

strafe, as I thought, your santa got swamped. They'll get something out to you, don't you worry. They're a good and reliable person, so it will happen, if a little late.
All good, I hope the parcel I sent gets delivered today or tomorrow, too.. :-[

Rotaku, since it's looking more and more like your person bailed, I dropped a small something in the mail first class to you. It probably won't get there until Monday or Tuesday.Feel free to pm me some info, and i will send something out.

Don't get super excited, it's just a small little something to tide you over for a little bit.

Given who it is and that they haven't logged in since the 27th of last month...well, it's not too surprising.Guess he spent too much on Wii games and couldn't afford to send a gift :-[

So today is 6/21. Here is my package from my "santa", I was able to deduce who it was from the small details though. Santa sent me 2 custom cables, both of incredible quality, a few kit kats, and a project Zealio prototype. Thanks for setting this up Nubbs, and thanks Santa for everything you sent. I will thoroughly enjoy all of it. :thumb:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/E39Cx2U.jpg)
Those kitkats....

My secret Santa went above and beyond! Everything was so purrrfect ! From capturing the essence of 2 chains figuratively and literally in a super original paint and stencil masterpiece to an amazing pink cable in which the USB housings were actually cast by her royal Boopness. 7 amazing Booper originals(these are flawless folks amazing texture no bubbles rich color freaking flawless I have a new favorite artisan ) and the rare brown Bro stumpy <3 :eek: :eek: :eek: <3 Stump LYFE and last but not least a super cute owl necklace (I already got compliments on) and some bracelets.

BATTLETOADS! When I worked at gamestop a couple eyears ago various trollers would call and ask for Battletoads almost every single day. Sometimes more than 1 person a day. For over a year straight... ridiculousness!

I'm a pretty big magic fan, so I'm always excited to see new magic stuff. As well as some purple keycaps, and as we all know purple is the best color.

I was also given a buckling spring keychain which I plan to bug my coworkers with, as well as a Bugatti Veyron RC car which I'm sure 2chainz would be proud to drive.

Yeah, loved the packaging. He really put a lot of effort into it, since each one of those notes are separate piece so he would've had to glue all of them on one by one.

The present was soo well thought out, and way beyond what I expected, that it totally blew my mind! :)
After opening the box I first noticed the message by my santa, surrounded by loads of regional candy specialities.
(Also since one of those amazing nougats says Montelimar on it Im guessing my Santa might be from the Provence or close to Montelimar areas) =)
(http://i.imgur.com/WdpCc3P.jpg)
On closer inspection, I realized there is not only a (and my first ever) Diagonal Skull, a Crowned Skull and a HKP Warmaster both of which used to be still missing in my collection! O=
But also Brown and Blue Gaterons to try out, since my Santa correctly investigated I had only tried black and clears so far that I got from the GB.
As well as a beautiful Keycap Puller, which Im incredibly thankful for on its own since I never ordered one or a Keyset that included one (well actually yes but MD) and went for the ghetto diy approach.
(http://i.imgur.com/MIC0EXF.jpg)
So giant Thanks again to my Santa for the amazing Pressie and of course to Sir Nubbs for running Summer Santa! :)
I hope my present can even come close to this because Im really overwhelmed by all that GH Half Xmas Love going on. <3

That's how I feel as well. I would much rather they give it to a friend or someone who would enjoy it instead of out right selling it.

Maybe he just forgot since he hasn't logged in a while.
Nubbs spent a pretty decent amount of time trying to get updates from people running late. Also this only started at the end of may, so how you could fall off the face of the earth that quickly doesn't make sense to me.

Definitely not the case. He sent a PM a couple of weeks before everything was set to be sent and after his gift had been sent and, I think, received, asking if it was too late to back out. I told him it was way too late. Instead of sending his gift on to his santa or sending something, he sent nothing.
Anyways, lets keep it happier. So far I remember Sed8op8 and Badwrench saying they wanted to help with Rotaku's gift and I remember someone else saying they wanted to help too.

Those candies were awesome, although i haven't tried the brick-jelly things but i need to :p I also got my first fountain pen in there (which by the way looks really cool!), and maybe i can improve my terrible handwriting with it :)) Thanks nubbs, this is seriously great.

Not pictured is the 1lb bag of freshly roasted coffee from a local cafe in San Diego, that was absolutely devoured by me in record time, the beans were incredible and made a perfect cup every single time. I again can't begin to express my gratitude for the thought my santa put into my gift, I absolutely love every part about it, and very much look forward to learning the v60 pour over system, thanks again so much Santa, and sorry for being so tardy in posting this!

I would like to sincerely apologize for my lack of pictures up to this point. I feel terrible I've kept my santa waiting so long. A little background: I was informed by Nubbinator in May that part of my package was "time sensitive" and insisted I open it prior to the end date of June 21st. It was one of the coolest, and most thoughtful gifts I have ever received!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/PAqms1r.jpg)

That is a great gift! Pourovers produce an amazing cup of coffee.

TL;DR: My Santa knows me all too well, sending my one weakness... :rolleyes: ^-^
Well it turns out that he actually does know me quite well, and even sent along something to add to my collection (that I knew about prior to Secret Santa). Though I must admit I completely missed it at first, so I had no idea who it was. :)) And here are some photos!
Box of scraps!

As a person living in Detroit I didn't know Canadian candy is that hard to find in the US.. I have like 5-6 stores near me who all stock candy from Canada.

Well all I have is a few Salted Caramel Tim Tams. Sadly I don't have an array of candies since they are all eaten by my girlfriend.
Granted, they are her candies that she gets from her friends overseas >.>

Thanks for the offer but I'm currently watching what I eat :'(
I miss tim tams, freddo, cherry ripe, rocky road chocolate bars(dairy milk? Nestlé? Forget the company), the generic Turkish delights in a gold wrapper? And more!

I came home today to this mystery package by Halverson! I got some sweet Canadian candy (including the fabled coffee crips i've been meaning to try after hearing all you getting some) and a (brown? not sure, i'm colorblind) KBK Mummy! This is my first KBK, and it is seriously so cool! And I do indeed have a topre HHKB :D I really can't thank Halverson (and everyone else involved) enough for sending me stuff since my santa dropped out, cause i just happened to get unlucky. But really, thank you guys, all of you are so awesome.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/bZmLtok.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ZmUmvFw.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/UTi0igD.jpg)

FYI I still have every intention of sending Booper a gift, a good one at that. The thing is though that I am still very much broke (whens the last time you saw me post in the mail thread?) and have sold my more valuable keyboards to pay for necessities I will need in the following months. As much as I love this community and would love to spread the love it would be reckless of me to risk financial instability for the sake of gifting. Sorry Booper, remember great things come to those who wait :p :))
I'm also guilty of sending my gift a bit late, so maybe it's not exactly my place to ask, but why would you sign up if you couldn't swing the $20 gift cost? I don't know your financial situation and how that may have changed recently, but it still seems like a small enough number to not break the bank.

It's ok! I've done irresponsible things before with money! haha. I don't mind waiting and even if I don't get anything, Summer Santa has been a lot of fun anyway :D

True. But who know!? Maybe he signed up when he was drunk? or had some extra cash at the time. I'd rather lose the $20 than have people get upset about it!

I think you focused on the wrong part of that statement. That was just an example. I honestly havent had any money to spend on non-necessary items but when i do booper will be the first to reap the benifits :)).

CPTBadAss and Binge hooked me UP! ;D ;D
I'm super super grateful for this. It was a bummer not having my Santa come through and I'm sorry that some of you all had to pick up the slack. I was pretty much planning on never joining a GH santa thing again but the kindness and awesome spirit of some of you fine folks more than makes up for the poor actions (or inaction!) of others. I continuously tell people that GH has the highest concentration of cool people on like, the whole internet. THANK YOU!!
anyway! here is my super secret surprise summer santa -

HEEEEYYY!!!!
CPTBadAss and Binge hooked me UP! ;D ;D
I'm super super grateful for this. It was a bummer not having my Santa come through and I'm sorry that some of you all had to pick up the slack. I was pretty much planning on never joining a GH santa thing again but the kindness and awesome spirit of some of you fine folks more than makes up for the poor actions (or inaction!) of others. I continuously tell people that GH has the highest concentration of cool people on like, the whole internet. THANK YOU!!
anyway! here is my super secret surprise summer santa -Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Ws2YNMf.jpg)
Binge showed me these in person last week and they are super sweet. Don't quit the secret santa, never quit the secret santa!
We have some bad eggs, but most of us are cool people. At least sometimes.

You may be waiting a while! it's like a billion degrees down here. (but that's ok, you don't have to send me anything at all!)
I'm sort of bummed my recipient never posted my gifts 8-/ I was able to compete with some of the amazing gifts here but I did put a decent amount of time and effort into one part of my present and a not insignificant amount of money ..... Oh well I don't want to shoot a dead horse so that's that. I'm so glad binge and captain made it happen for you boop as your gift to me was really above and beyond ! I just want you to know it meant A LOT to me and your And your so amazing and talented you deserve it :thumb:
AWWWW. That does super suck. Did you take a photo of it before you sent it? You should shameless self post what you sent! I love seeing all the cool and creative gifts people came up with for their individual santas! THANK YOU SED8! You are the sweetest person alive I think. I wouldn't have made all that stuff for just anyone! <3

I couldn't agree more. I know how much effort you put into your gifts, I am the same way. I do agree with Booper on this one, if you have a pic, post it!
Congrats Booper, the cpt and binge would never leave anyone hanging here (or many of the other people that were part of this SS).

Examples:
Model kits, mold making stuff, wood working tools/supplies, electronics kits (arduino?).
Another option would be to find the most random gift you can on Banggood or Aliexpress - not from the adult section (priced as close to $20 as you can). It would be good if the item was still somewhat related to the giftee.

I think for this one, a DIY theme would be fun. The giftee would still completely fill in the kinds of hobbies and stuff they are into, but rather than the gifter just buying a pre-made gift, they would gift the stuff needing to make the gift.

Both of these ideas are legit. I like the random gift one a lot, lol. I can see some silliness ensuing.

Post by: Badwrench on Wed, 09 September 2015, 11:13:03
I'm not a fan of the random gift only because it's a good way to get something that immediately ends up in the trash. I think most people would go with weird random instead of something their giftee would use and like but is completely weird random. There was some of the former with the summer Santa.
That is the main downfall of that idea. I guess ultimately, it should probably just be a regular gift exchange with maybe just a Christmas theme or something.

Then the theme should be "estalk till you find something interesting". I could get behind that. Even if it does sound a little creeeeepy.

DIY theme would be fun. I've also really enjoyed chatting with people on geekhack. Kinda like how I mentioned that Sent and I never talk about keyboards. Might be fun to do an "anything but keyboards" theme where you try and figure out what else the user likes.
That could be fun. I'm just worried about people half-assing it and/or giving something that would end up in the trash. There was some awesome handmade stuff this last go around, but some of it was also...interesting.
Maybe make it so that part of the gift is handmade?

The beer was spot on for me too. That Serendipity is probably my new favorite beer. Delicious fruity taste without being too sweet - check. Cool packaging - check. Awesome label design - check (bonus points because color!) Ugh. It was so good.

A bit premature, but here's the link to submit your tracking information. (http://goo.gl/forms/Y9Lc3fv2NC)
To start, I really want to discourage people just in it to get something cool and marginally participate. We've had people in the past who signed up just to get cool stuff and either didn't send anything on, or sent junk on to someone. That said, just because you're not financially well off doesn't mean you can't sign up and make something cool for someone. Remember, Secret Santa is about giving, giving what you feel comfortable giving, and giving something from the heart that you really think the other person will like.
Rules
- You must have 100 posts and be an active member
- You must send your package with tracking
- You can pick a region to ship within, but be aware that you will be dropped if there's no one to pair you with. I'll PM you before doing so, but it's been close in the past.
- Each person will be paired up with one other person. That doesn't mean you can't send your own Secret Santa on to someone else, just that each person in the Secret Santa will only be paired up with one other person.
- You must mark your package as from Secret Santa. Remember, this is a surprise.
- No opening your package until at least Christmas Eve...or at least don't let us know you opened it unless your santa wanted it opened early. When you do open it, be sure to post pictures.
- You must post pictures. It's a huge bummer when someone gets a Secret Santa gift and doesn't acknowledge it. It can be a potato picture, but post something just so everyone knows it got there. Failure to post pictures can result in bans from future Secret Santas.
- All Santa pairings will be revealed on Christmas day
- Sign up lasts until October 31st to give a little more time to find stuff and packages must be shipped no later than two weeks before Christmas. Remember, mail is slow this time of year and we want it to arrive in time.

that sucks =(
I had a lot of fun here last year and love my Christmas Taihao set (Doesn't fit on my boards currently though)
I got stiffed on another forum I visit. The guy even contacted me to tel me he's sending me something then never did.
My Reddit Tea gift exchange literally went to Davids tea, picked up an off the shelf set, walked to the post office and dropped it off in a padded envelope and shipped it. No card or anything. Felt kind of lousy when I went out to tea shops to find a few nice traditional teas with a good quality piece of teaware and even experimented the tea to find the best brewing method and wrote it all for them.
Anyway, can't wait for the one here!
As a note for anyone who gets me here: I listed a USA address but I won't get that until March at earliest so preferably have it at my Canadian address =)

It was specific to /r/teaexchange which was promoted by /r/tea
Tea isn't too expensive. I spent about $100 last year between the 3 secret santas.
I saw all these pictures posted of unique teas from shops or home made blends and I got off the shlef davids tea from someone who was supposed to be more knowledgeable on tea. Just felt lousy tbh. I feel ingrateful / snobby but it is a gift exchange of tea enthusiasts...

Is there a rematch type thing that people can sign up for, like how reddit gifts does it?
Post by: asdfjkl36 on Tue, 20 October 2015, 19:45:24
I'm tempted to sign up, but even after 3 years, I'm still more of a lurker than anything else. Also I get paranoid that my giftee won't actually like what I get them...
Is there a rematch type thing that people can sign up for, like how reddit gifts does it?
Just sign up. If you put thought into it, that's what counts.
People should be happy no matter what they get. And if they arent, then probably werent gonna be happy unless they received a OTD board or something insane.
I'm not sure what you mean about the rematch thing, but if you're saying that if someone isnt happy with what they got / their santa didnt send anything, people will usually be kind and at least send a little something to them so they dont miss out.

From my own personal experience and others I've seen here, if you get stiffed out of a gift, plenty of others will step up and put something together for you. I wouldn't worry about it. Plus, as corny as it sounds, the giving part is its own gift. :)
Yea I'd be cool helping out with a rematch if I have any money left after the holidays

I agree, and this is how I approach gift giving. If you get stiffed, that person knows what they are doing...well, hopefully. Some people have zero remorse. :'(

As long as you take the time and effort to think about what you are gifting and to who, you will be fine. This whole thing is not about one-upmanship, but rather just to enjoy the holidays with other like-minded people.

No way I'd have the money to do this as much as I'd love to give it a go. :( Sounds really fun, but I couldn't give anyone a keyboard or anything. All I have around these days are miscellaneous parts.
Um....what do you think people are sending to each other? Because it's definitely not a keyboard. In the past, the minimum was like $15. You don't really need to spend a lot. Some of the best stuff I've received were letters and mixtapes on actual cassette tapes. Oh and snacks. Regional snacks and candies are always a good look. ALWAYS. Again, it's more about the spirit of giving and not what amazing Clack or HHKB you spoiled someone with.

It would help tremendously if you would reply in thread after you get your match just to confirm that you're active. I recognize most of the names, but a few are new to me.
Lastly, if there has been or will be a change of address PM ME ASAP. I need to let your Santa know.

Well, I could let you in if you sign up in the next 15 minutes.
Saw this like a day to late. Oh well. I'll be more diligent about checking this next time for the next one :)
Yea.............me too.
Signed-up last year, but did not go very well for me-- so no loss :-\
Maybe next year

So I got my gift on Sunday as it went to my home address and I'm at school. I have not opened it but I cannot wait to do so. I also gave a solid idea of who my Secret Santa is but I may just be delusional.
can't open it till christmas bruh
Quote from: nubbinator link=topic=63501.msg1897212#msg1897212
No opening your package until at least Christmas Eve...or at least don't let us know you opened it unless your santa wanted it opened early. When you do open it, be sure to post pictures.
when should we ship by?
I need to set a budget and everything before I go crazy.
Quote
Sign up lasts until October 31st to give a little more time to find stuff and packages must be shipped no later than two weeks before Christmas. Remember, mail is slow this time of year and we want it to arrive in time.

The shipping 2 weeks before Christmas was outlined in the signup, if I'm not mistaken. I can understand that it can be tough if the person didn't explicitly say what they want, but being surprised is part of the fun. Don't over think it, if you don't know what they like, and their posts don't help, then give them something you like and explain why it is significant to you.When is the due date for shipping?

Or just get something like a switch Keychain and some candy/local snacks. We all like keyboards and junk food. :)

I think most people have forgotten what 'hipster' actually means, and now use it to describe anything "trendy", which is literally the opposite of what hipster actually is. :P

"Hipster Candy" is extremely over-priced candy made by the hipsters that live in East-Nashville AKA HipsterVille. Do you want FOUR chocolate covered marshmallows? That'll be $9. Want 10 caramels (think 1" x 1" cubes)? That'll be $11. Want a pint of ice-cream? That'll be $24. Want to know where this is all sold? The place where 2 bedroom houses used to be $60k, now the same houses are $300k+

To not do something because everyone is doing it, is exactly the same thing as to do something simply because everyone is doing it. You're still allowing others to dictate your dress, behavior, interests, and even your aesthetic.
I always come back to the words of A.A. Milne:

The USPS board game flat rate box is a good size for keyboards and a reasonable price to ship. But it is too flimsy! My solution: nest one box inside the other! Also tape over the perforated seams at the ends of the box.

Remember to put your shipping info in the Santa Tracker form I posted earlier. So far I only have shipping info from 7 people. That's less than 20% of all participants. We only have two weeks until Christmas, so things should be in the mail at this point.GLAD I ALREADY HAVE NO COAL FOR ME :D

Not to **** on you personally or anything but the reason why nubbinator said to ship 2 weeks ahead of time is because all shipping tends to slow down around the holidays. Recently my 2 day Amazon has been 4-6 day and my 2 day USPS has been 4 days on average. Just pointing that out.

yeah, i ordered 1 day shipping on amazon and it's getting here on sunday. i would've liked to ship out sooner but theres nothing i can do about it now. luckily i live pretty close to my giftee, so i think 2 weeks should be ample time for it to get there if i ship 2 day :)

I had corrected that then it uncorrected it? In any case, yes, you had the right one. Someone else had the wrong one, but I fixed it. Still at 17 though.

We're actually at 19 now. 39 participated. I hope most people either missed these posts about giving tracking or are waiting on one more thing to ship. In the past I've personally made up for slackers, but if that has to happen with more than 1 or 2, I'll be pissed.

Do we get a naughty list like last year when people don't ship after a certain time such as the two weeks before christmas, as it's kinda of a poor thing to have any issue at that point as they have had 1 month + to get things in order :X hopefully we don't have any loud shelled friends this year though but come on people get a crack on, if your sending INTL you need it out this week as everything is congested, and just as a idea I have parcels from late November that have yet to exit UK customs for 2 weeks now :X

USPS is pretty hosed right now. My outgoing package was scheduled for delivery in two days. After four it is still not delivered.
i'm lucky as amazon and my giftee are both pretty close to me, so my package from amazon arrived in one day like guaranteed, and i'm hoping that the same goes for my outgoing package to my giftee that's being sent on monday :)

Indeed it does, but people can always get something else not at you personally but its still poor form to blame not being able to send something before christmas on the santa not getting the gift in the first place, and we all super know post sucks this time of year so always have a backup plan.Do we get a naughty list like last year when people don't ship after a certain time such as the two weeks before christmas, as it's kinda of a poor thing to have any issue at that point as they have had 1 month + to get things in order :X hopefully we don't have any loud shelled friends this year though but come on people get a crack on, if your sending INTL you need it out this week as everything is congested, and just as a idea I have parcels from late November that have yet to exit UK customs for 2 weeks now :X

i agree, people should've planned ahead and accounted for the expected massive shipping delays that accompany the holiday season. i for one procrastinated myself and i'm not too happy about it, but i'm glad i can get it at least 2 weeks ahead of time, just in case anything major happens

Yes, there will be a naughty list, but not for a little bit. I need to send some PMs today asking people what's up.
Only 39 people participated? I would've thought more would have...
I forgot myself, so I think it was 40. We're actually up to 21 shipped now, but that's still a good chunk of people who haven't put anything in yet.

How do we know when we get tracking? Does nubs just PM us with it?

I forgot to wrap all my stuff too :(
How do we know when we get tracking? Does nubs just PM us with it?
I didnt get tracking :/ Maybe the tracking requirement is just so that there is more proof of shipment (say like a package never arrives but "I shipped" and nubs can check the tracking to see if there is an issue on the shippers end)?

In the past, the receiver has never gotten the tracking, just nubs. It would be quite a bit of extra work, and my understanding is that it's moreso to be a check in case nothing arrives, as you've said.

will get better pictures soon, I promise
so I got my gift yesterday and I was really impatient and decided "screw it, I'll just open it now" and so I did
the first thing I saw was a little envelope that said "open this last"
I then turn my attention to the chips. unfortunately, the tri-sum bag exploded during shipping, but the barbeque chips were fine and undamaged. both of them are very good.
then I saw a little gift box and opened it up, despite being covered in chips(don't worry, they were delicious). I opened it up, and I find a bro stump on a handmade switch holder with a 78g Gateron Blue. just holy ****, if this was the only present I had gotten, I would have been perfectly content, but this guy goes above and beyond.
I then see a wrapped rectangular package that is relatively heavy due to its size. I tear it open and find a two book set of peanuts comics from 1995-1998. this guy must have seen how I got screwed out of my peanuts Santa gift over on reddit
then I read the note, and it describes how each gift was chosen. but wait, the note mentions a Matias click switch with an MX adapter... where is it? I dig through the the chips in the box and find it, and it is perfectly unharmed.
inanis, thank you so much. this is one of the best gifts I've ever received, from a guy I barely know. this is what makes gh an amazing community. I hope each and every one of you receive a gift that you enjoy as much as I do, and linkshine, enjoy that infinity(he already figured out it was me too!)
merry christmas guys.

I had originally meant to make a Matias switch holder, but I was worried I wasn't going to get the switches in on time, so I went with a customzied Gateron. I figured it'd be a fun desk toy. And you can't go wrong pairing blue with the dark brown, so the Stump was a natural choice to go atop it. I don't know much about Peanuts, but I do like a good book, so it is hard to go wrong there.

I already know all the songs from mario on the piano so I'll be using the book to teach some of the kids at the music school i volunteer at some fun songs :)!!!
Unfortunately, I don't really like sneaker culture anymore, but the book looks cool! I'll be sure to gift the pins away to some of my sneakerhead friends and i'm sure they'll find the book interesting as well.
Thanks for the stickers! They'll be put to good use, love the booper! (not sure what that ctrlalt cardboard thing is though...)
bro, secret santa, you didn't even gimme ur name. who do i thank?

That's one of the older CTRL Alt stickers. It's clear except for the CTRL Alt part. The brown is just the backing :)).

Shipped my stuff out today, sorry for cutting it so close to the last minute! should be there by monday :) get ready to get ****ing santa'd
My gift arrived today! I was too impatient. Came in a bubble mailer.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/7K4gpln.jpg)
I already know all the songs from mario on the piano so I'll be using the book to teach some of the kids at the music school i volunteer at some fun songs :)!!!
Unfortunately, I don't really like sneaker culture anymore, but the book looks cool! I'll be sure to gift the pins away to some of my sneakerhead friends and i'm sure they'll find the book interesting as well.
Thanks for the stickers! They'll be put to good use, love the booper! (not sure what that ctrlalt cardboard thing is though...)
bro, secret santa, you didn't even gimme ur name. who do i thank?

Mine is shipped, I got an anonymous tip today. Just in case my tracking wasn't updated today.

Yours is updated.
The good news is that 5 of the ones I'm waiting on have PMed me this past week saying that they were shipping soon and should all be reliable people. That leaves three people I haven't heard back from. One is somewhat unsurprising, one is notoriously slow at shipping, and one is reliable, so hopefully I hear back from them soon.
That said, if I don't receive shipping info by Christmas eve, I will be shaming people. It's totally uncool to do that to people.
On a happy note, I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone put together for their giftee. I know I had a ton of fun for my person and probably went a little overboard.

Awkwardly enough my roommates texted me to let me know that my secret santa package arrived just after I left for 2 weeks.

Nooo! that's a bummer. Maybe you could get your roomies to forward it to where you are!? But then maybe it would arrive the day after your 2 weeks is up :'(

Grumpy cat keychain (sweet! I will try to prop this up on my desk)
space doge t-shirt. I worked hard this year to fit into some older plaid shirts I had. This will serve as a good goal to get down that one more size (XL right now).
Thanks SS! I know who it is, but gotta keep seekrit :P
Hope my giftee posts soon :3 , I ALMOST went very overboard but I tried to follow the wish list with a bit of creative thinking :))

Yeah, I am pretty stoked. Gonna hit up my local Bookoff and see if they have any decent SNES in stock. Last time I was in, they had a Japan model Gamecube for $40ish. Should have picked it up. They usually have a ton of games as well (both US and JDM)

I got a bit ahead of myself, and opened the first item without taking a pic of the whole thing. Sorry for that SS.
(http://i.imgur.com/570SGXo.jpg)
First thing is a water bottle. Very dank water bottle. My current one has been around for a long time, so its a welcome addition.
(http://i.imgur.com/T9PoNXE.jpg)
GUMMY WORMS! I love these so much, as does my son. He has commandeered the bag already.
(http://i.imgur.com/EHSfhHF.jpg)
I just ran out of beard oil, so this was a welcome surprise. I haven't used this type before either, so I am excited to try it out.
(http://i.imgur.com/lvJ1VYk.jpg)
I have been using this balm for the past few years, and really like it. Usually use this when I am lazy and don't feel like playing around with oil. Again, just ran out of this, so it is perfect.
(http://i.imgur.com/TG1WpSr.jpg)
Kent makes some of the nicest combs I have ever used. I had a larger one, but it was lost in the move. I have always wanted one of these ones, so again, perfect choice.
(http://i.imgur.com/tR6Psg8.jpg)
I have been reading comics off and on for a few years now, and haven't read since I moved this summer. Now I have a reason to start back up.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytps8Xi.jpg)
In the note, it said to open the "Ho Ho Ho" gifts last. There were two, and here they are.
IDW TMNT Vol. 1. I have read every one of the main story comics for the new series. This is a collection of all the side comics they put out throughout the main story. Something I have not yet read, so I am super stoked for this. Probably my favorite part honestly.
(http://i.imgur.com/tZaYhoP.jpg)
Last, but definitely not least. I have wanted to check one of these out since they were first announced, but was never willing to spend the money for it. I will hopefully get to test this out tonight.
(http://i.imgur.com/iCB0jO0.jpg)
Here's a group shot.
(http://i.imgur.com/GLsvOZv.jpg)
I just want to thank my secret santa, i'm not sure who you are but I have an idea. You did an amazing job, and I love everything you sent.
Also, thanks to Nubbs for putting this event together, and dealing with all the trouble that it may bring.
I prolly messed up some spelling in there somewhere.
Merry Christmas everyone!

So R1N3 was both my gifter AND giftee ( so no secrets from santa). We became friends on steam a week and a half ago, and I was suspicious AF because I thought he somehow figured out I was his SS! Little did I know... We both included a note with our gift that said "Message me on steam for the final gift", as we are both Dota 2 enthusiasts. Once we both had gifts in hand, a steam trade occurred (with a trade delay due to steams new policy).

A 65g lubed Zealio! Whoever sent this must know that vintage, and lubed modern, MX Clear are my favorite Cherry switches! This is easily the nicest tactile Cherry MX mount switch I've ever used. Plus it even has space for RGB LEDs. I'm tempted now to buy a set of these to upgrade a Rosewill RGB80 I got from a friend. (Too bad they're out of stock at zealpc.net.)

Stickers and candies. I'll need to find good homes for these. They look hand drawn (well, perhaps using a drawing tablet :) ).

Thank you SS for the awesome gifts and letter. I love old games, and this converted just gives me a good excuse to pick up a SNES or Gamecube - gotta get me some F-zero, Super Metroid, and Paper Mario.
/me looks up this SCART -> HDMI box
Awesome gift, man. Very thoughtful.
Yeah, I am pretty stoked. Gonna hit up my local Bookoff and see if they have any decent SNES in stock. Last time I was in, they had a Japan model Gamecube for $40ish. Should have picked it up. They usually have a ton of games as well (both US and JDM)
The absolute best picture quality for gamecube games is scart running out of a 1st gen nintendo wii. A 2nd gen will require hardware mods and doesn't play gamecube games. The Gamecube itself is a complicated beast because the US version does not output an RGB signal, you would need a PAL gamecube with a free-loader disc to output scart and the cables are hard to find. My 1st gen wii outputs scart just fine and gamecube games look amazing upscaled through that converter box. I can also guarantee that it works for ALL sega consoles under the sun, SNES, SNK systems, and a few others.
http://retrorgb.com/ will tell you about the best out-of-the-box cables for various classic (pre hdmi) consoles, and I use the site to determine which systems will output to scart. ANY scart output will work with that box.

It's the weekend, I can officially (unofficially) open my SS gift :thumb:
Unfortunately, the shipping label gave away who my SS way, but that's ok. It did say it was from Santa though so I knew not to open it right up.

Thank you SS for the awesome gifts and letter. I love old games, and this converted just gives me a good excuse to pick up a SNES or Gamecube - gotta get me some F-zero, Super Metroid, and Paper Mario.
/me looks up this SCART -> HDMI box
Awesome gift, man. Very thoughtful.
Yeah, I am pretty stoked. Gonna hit up my local Bookoff and see if they have any decent SNES in stock. Last time I was in, they had a Japan model Gamecube for $40ish. Should have picked it up. They usually have a ton of games as well (both US and JDM)
The absolute best picture quality for gamecube games is scart running out of a 1st gen nintendo wii. A 2nd gen will require hardware mods and doesn't play gamecube games. The Gamecube itself is a complicated beast because the US version does not output an RGB signal, you would need a PAL gamecube with a free-loader disc to output scart and the cables are hard to find. My 1st gen wii outputs scart just fine and gamecube games look amazing upscaled through that converter box. I can also guarantee that it works for ALL sega consoles under the sun, SNES, SNK systems, and a few others.

Wait, my GC playing wii is special? Yay!
I want my framemeister :(

Well, since others are opening theirs, and I had a few moments this morning, I opened mine as well.
(Attachment Link)
This arrived early last week! (Some shipping information redacted.)
(Attachment Link)
Going in...
(Attachment Link)
(Attachment Link)
An MX Blue key chain with what looks like a resin-cast key cap! Neat!
(Attachment Link)
A 65g lubed Zealio! Whoever sent this must know that vintage, and lubed modern, MX Clear are my favorite Cherry switches! This is easily the nicest tactile Cherry MX mount switch I've ever used. Plus it even has space for RGB LEDs. I'm tempted now to buy a set of these to upgrade a Rosewill RGB80 I got from a friend. (Too bad they're out of stock at zealpc.net.)
(Attachment Link)
Stickers and candies. I'll need to find good homes for these. They look hand drawn (well, perhaps using a drawing tablet :) ).
(Attachment Link)
Now what is this???
(Attachment Link)
(Attachment Link)
Topre and MX mount resin caps! Neat! I've been hoping to try my hand at casting some of these myself and am now even more inspired to do so!
So, dear Secret Santa, a very heart felt:
(Attachment Link)
Thank You from XMIT.
I made those stickers which are from the Hyper Hype Sticket Raffle! They are most certainly hand drawn illustrations. :)

I dunno who it is still because I don't know real names of most of you, but whoever you are... THANK YOU! I really like it! And I would love to know if my SS painted it themselves because that makes it extra awesome.
IDK how you knew that I love Calvin and Hobbes!!! Well done! I love all the colors in the painting and the way the sky behind the stars is so atmospheric.
Thanks so much to my Secret Santa and to Nubs too for putting this on again. I love doing this! :D

So everyone is already opening theirs? Mine is on a shelf in my closet...but maybe I should get it down and open it? Is this what we are doing?
Yup. Everyone is free to open and post as of this weekend. I'd even go so far as to say everyone is encouraged to open and post. I know I'm anxiously awaiting my santa opening and posting their pics.

Aha, cool, it's a wet shaving print! I'll need to research the author more. And the wife approves!

I'm pretty sure it's a Slim Adjustable. It was my maternal grandfather's, who was an old school type of guy...I will post more details later in the wet shaving thread; he was a cool fellow.
Again, I love the print and the rest of the stuff is very cool.
Got this package last week. Put in my closet and tried to forget about it (knife was not part of the package
):(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/22/f7b2b6a160881c9d60c9deb274d38c4d.jpg)
Big bundle of bubble wrap inside...with an outer layer of goodies! NES cartridge coasters I think; Contra, Excite Bike, and Mario were some of my favorite games growing up! Way cool! And lots of candy, nom nom! And a C3PO mini figure...have to fight my kids off haha!
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/22/3ee10c7a5129b3dcaa52a8ae80c7a768.jpg)
And now for the final package. Oh my, dis gonna be good! Goulet is a highly regarded fountain pen store!
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/22/75937ca356914164653cdf707b52a3f4.jpg)
Oh, snap, a CARBON FIBER fountain pen, and some new ink to go with it! Y'all gotta understand, CF is one of my fav materials and I love FP's as well! The perfect love child
!(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/22/a91a780f18e53e4758e5d28202be90db.jpg)
Can't stop now, gotta try it out!

Edit: I was trying to imitate Goulet's business card with ink splats of my own...didn't work out how I planned and I ended up with ink on half of the chocolates LOL!
Whoever you are, thank you so much Santa! TBH, I've had some very crappy days lately and this definitely lifted my spirits and got me into the Christmas groove. Thank you so so much!

Nice haul! A titanium multi-key tool thing, fortune cookie booties for my baby daughter, and a mini-quadcopter with a camera on it!
My Santa wrote a note explaining that he or she is Chinese, hence the fortune cookie booties, which came in a little Chinese food container! The key-tool apparently does 16 different functions but I haven't even discovered half of them yet. But it's titanium so it's super light, which is pretty cool.
But by far the coolest part was the quadcopter. I wish I'd taken pictures of the thing itself, but I've got some cool pics and videos from the camera:

My Santa wrapped the gifts, which I didn't even think to do for my giftee! Nice job.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/T2JIHqn.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/fzfAuJr.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/hhIhrdM.jpg)
Nice haul! A titanium multi-key tool thing, fortune cookie booties for my baby daughter, and a mini-quadcopter with a camera on it!
My Santa wrote a note explaining that he or she is Chinese, hence the fortune cookie booties, which came in a little Chinese food container! The key-tool apparently does 16 different functions but I haven't even discovered half of them yet. But it's titanium so it's super light, which is pretty cool.
But by far the coolest part was the quadcopter. I wish I'd taken pictures of the thing itself, but I've got some cool pics and videos from the camera:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/OKBgK6z.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/eFEpKpJ.jpg)
I still don't know who my Santa is, so that will be a surprise, but thanks to whoever it is for these awesome gifts!!!
Oh man those are really cool gifts and you have a great looking family! Congrats on both accounts! :)

Wow that helicopter looks fun. I should get one :))
I need to take it to a big open field on a non-windy day and just see how fast and high it can go. The packaging says it does 360 flips, so I'll want to try that too.

Oh come on, I bet you can get at least 361 out of it. ;)

I mean uhhh... Secret Santa!!!!
I have to send a part two now since I feel my gif is too underwhelming ~.~
But thanks for the umeboshi paste, replacement mousepad, stickers and kaps!!!
I opened it before leaving to meet nathan so pictures come later (and that fancy double wrapping paper technique xO)

I was on the trigger myself just two days ago but I'm in a rush so grabbed a steel series. I'll hopefully be matching you with an artisan in the new year :)
Hoping to try some of their circle mouse feet as well.

I should try the mousefeet as well but I bought a set from another sale that was posted here not too long ago for mouseskates.
The next thing I need is a wristrest for my mouse since that's part of the problem that I'm having... xD until next year!
But yea, don't hesitate if you're looking for a good mousepad, the artisan ones are really nice. But the glass gets dirty and worn after a couple of years from the shidenkai while the cloth ones shouldn't wear that quickly (tis the price for the slickest pads on the market)

You may remember my box from my first post, I've already taken out the grapfruit and eaten it, as directed.
(http://i.imgur.com/3QD5ndi.jpg)
Nice one.
Apparently it's from the original production too!

I think this person stalked me a little too much... they apparently noticed how freakishly I color-coordinate my boards

In addition to the stuff I pictured, I received the fresh grapefruit that I mentioned in a previous post (delicious), an instant starbucks coffee thing (maybe I'll branch out from only black), and some nutritional bars that my santa researched to make absolutely sure they are vegetarian (that's some serious dedication!). I was really pleasantly surprised with the amount of thought that evidently went into this. I'm totally thrilled!
All together now!

Group shot. Candy, comics, drinks, and two geekhack mousepads from Shadovved's GB.

Kinda weird seeing Star Wars comics under the Marvel name. Maybe we'll get some really bizarre crossovers.

Thank you so much! I love all of it and my dog devoured one of the treats already after thoroughly inspecting it and licking it.
I will need to get a picture of the poster when I get to hang it back up at school! I will also take a picture of the gifts I buy with the gift card.
The caps are great additions as well! I've never seen a Hammer Topre stem before and it is interesting to say the least. The KBK is really cool though with the metallic tinge to it!
Thanks again! I'll be snacking on candy later but my parents already enjoyed a caramel.

They are shave soap samples and they snell wonderful! I'll have to do a review once I get to try them all. I can update on the scents if anyone wishes though.

All the goodies!
Thank you so much Mr. Santa Sir!
I Enjoyed every step of the way of this gift and i really appreciate the gift i was given. I'm going to die from all of this candy, but Sarah will probably want to eat some of it as well so at least I wont completely die :)
I will be finding a place for all of these little toys and who knows when i'll eat all of the candy. Maybe by next month :P
Once again, thank you so much!
Hope everyone had fantastic Christmas this year! :D

To say that my Secret Santa spoiled me would be the biggest understatement I will have ever made on GeekHack. Took some pictures of me opening the gifts and will take some proper ones before posting.

My ss not gonna make it in time. I'm leaving soon and there's no mail from em. I'll post it if it arrives when I return.
One of the gifts were delivered on the 24th, so I hope you at least got one of them. So sorry I wasn't able to get it to you precisely time.

Only two outstanding at this point for shipping info (one of which will ship, the other I hope will ship), two waiting to arrive (one had two missed delivery attempts), one with a tracking # I couldn't check up on, and one that USPS went crazy on tracking with.

Rice mixed with umeboshi paste (one of the gifts from my SS) topped with a Sirloin steak prepared in the Chaliapin style topped with a red wine onion mix.

So of course my SS wraps all of mine :P
Of course first I opened my little present for the keyboard
(http://i.imgur.com/WjF3aqr.jpg)
Inside is this little guy. My first Krap cap! The detail on it is SO insane. The colours of the eyes and the power symbol on his head are so cool, he is currently sat on my 1800 until I get a green keycap set from somewhere...
(http://i.imgur.com/X2PeM49.jpg)
Secondly I open up the present for the house
(http://i.imgur.com/Zio2wIf.jpg)
Inside are some REALLY REALLY nice tea towels from Harrods. I know it seems sad to like tea towels, but these ones are SO nice. And stuff from Harrods is so Expensive :3
Next to the something fun present...
(http://i.imgur.com/hyh3uvz.jpg)
Inside was one of those super cool Gundam models that a lot of guys have gotten into. Luckily for me, it was quite a small one, as my ability with assembling small models has always been average to poor. I may have to get a few more of these however, as it was super fun putting him together, trying to understand Japanese, and delaying being dragged out with the girlfriend round the shops on Boxing Day :P May have to get a few more bigger ones!
(http://i.imgur.com/TknBOOQ.jpg)
Next was something if the weather got bad. Luckily I don't live in the North West where they are all under five feet of water, but I had seriously been considering buying one of these to go in my car
(http://i.imgur.com/ILdXDWs.jpg)
Collapsible shovel. This thing is so solid, comes in it's own little carry pouch, and even has serrated edges on two sides! I like keeping as much stuff as possible in my car for emergencies, so this is perfect!
(http://i.imgur.com/cU68k9w.jpg)
My final haul. No note from my Santa, so no hints as to who it is, but the box had no customs label, and with the Harrods tea towels, I'm guessing it is someone who lives in close proximity to London...
Thank you Santa, and Merry Christmas everyone!

Each picture I see of wrapped presents makes me feel even worse about not wrapping mine...Jokes on you, it was me again this year hohoho glad you liked everything especially the tea towels I was informed by multiple people that's what you need when moving house :X and very glad you didn't have the spade already as I had been eying it for a while anyway. Glad you enjoyed everything I was worried for a whileShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/0WE9EHA.jpg)

Thank you so much! I love all of it and my dog devoured one of the treats already after thoroughly inspecting it and licking it.
I will need to get a picture of the poster when I get to hang it back up at school! I will also take a picture of the gifts I buy with the gift card.
The caps are great additions as well! I've never seen a Hammer Topre stem before and it is interesting to say the least. The KBK is really cool though with the metallic tinge to it!
Thanks again! I'll be snacking on candy later but my parents already enjoyed a caramel.
I wouldn't put the poster up yet, I've heard that there *could* be another, bigger one coming soon :-X

Wait. You guys have towels just for tea? I have so many questions. Can you explain why you need a special towel for tea? And why it can't just be a repurposed regular towel? And what makes tea towels more expensive?
Well, they aren't specifically for tea. I'm not 100% sure why they are called tea towels, but I just use them for drying stuff after the washing up, holding hot things, uhhh. That's about it.

The beard oil is perfect! I have never used any before so I'm not familiar with any brands, but this is something I have been meaning to pick up for ages so thank you for making that easier.
As you may know, I'm a huge Dolch fan, so this Tai Hao Dolch set is much appreciated. Unfortunately I do already have this set, so I may pass the set along to someone who would get more use out of it. Hopefully that doesn't offend you, Santa!
And I will be honest, I'm a bit confused by the jewelry wipes.
I'm sure I have a use for them, but Santa, did you have something particular in mind with these? Again, thank you Santa! I'm probably not the hardest person to stalk for ideas, but I'm very thankful for all the effort that went into this. I'll be sure to post all of my noob attempts at using the oil in the beard thread. :))

That's right. A MOTHER EFFING INFINITY. This was my first experience with alps and I gotta say. WTF THESE ARE AWESOME.
The board itself is beautiful- that brushed metal/silver plate- hnnnnnnng. I was blown away at the quality. Just... what a gift. I honestly teared up a little bit. THEN THAT WASN'T ALL.
HE INCLUDED A SET OF AWESOME OG ALPS caps and A WHOLE BAG OF CLICKY ALPS!! I LOVE clicky so swapping these out will be my first keyboard project as far as modding. I cannot wait. I've ordered all the **** to get this job done on Amazon and am just waiting to get a few hours to myself. (http://i.imgur.com/WFNj2wQ.jpg)
I'm so excited that I ordered the Winter Alpine aps set- and won an alps artisan from escapism caps!! Thanks bcredbottle and EW3 for that btw
(http://i.imgur.com/l8SVUgr.jpg)
But damn electronicnub.. my FAVORITE gift from anyone this season came from a guy still in high school just being straight selfless. The generosity in mind blowing.
http://imgur.com/a/8i6pX - more pics of the infinity. I got a 60% case in just for this guy to sit in- and I used my favorite one, a plastidipped vortex (gives it weight and a sweet grippy texture)- I'm gonna be spending a lot of time on this guy. May even be my work daily driver.
EDIT:So sorry this Took way longer to post than I Wanted it to. I've had 2 ER trips with my wife this week regarding her teeth and pain. It's been an ordeal. Nothing life threatening obviously but with 2 kids it's been a terrible 2 weeks as far as her well-being.

We'll start out with the candy...
[attachimg=1] ...the swedish fish didn't make it to lunch time Christmas Day. Between my nieces, son, and siblings they were gone pretty quick. As for the rest of the candy...it is also gone by now. I've never had that chili candy that was on the spoon but DAMN!!! It was nummy! :p
Now we will move onto the letters. I received more than one from more than one person so I have some suspensions that shenanigans have taken place. :eek:
[attach=2][attach=3][attach=4][attach=5][attach=6][attach=7]
I also received an AWESOME action figure from one of my all time favorite shows. To top that off it was designed by my favorite action figure toy maker...McFarlane Toys. And some Rhodia paper that I was running low on.
[attachimg=8][attachimg=9]
AND...yes we're not done yet. Inside a very wonderful smelling cigar box lay a handcrafted leather sheath for a very well weighted Fountain pen, some ink samples (yes yes yes), and another Jinhao fountain pen.
[attach=10][attach=11][attach=12][attach=13][attach=14][attach=15][attach=16]
But we still aren't done!
I really can't put into words how thankful I am for everything so far and the rest to come. I hold all the artisan keycap makers, leather workers, painters, and pcb/board makers in extremely high regard. You are all so talented and it is a privilege to own any of your work.
Without further adieu...
My first Booper keycaps:
[attachimg=17][attachimg=18][attachimg=19]
My first BroCap:
[attachimg=20]
Some sexy purple blank keycaps (I'm guessing Hotkeys caps due to the H branding on the inside...either way PURPLE!!!):
[attachimg=21]
My first keycaps by Nubs (first BS Artisan keycaps too):
[attachimg=22][attachimg=23][attachimg=24]
And last but not least...Smiling Jacks v2!!!
[attachimg=25]
Once again THANK YOU!!! You all have no idea how much this means to me!
I will upload more pictures as I get them and as I take them.

So my Secret Santa went to WORK this year. Very very generous, can't say enough.3late5meShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/i1fPP7c.jpg)
That's right. A MOTHER EFFING INFINITY. This was my first experience with alps and I gotta say. WTF THESE ARE AWESOME.
The board itself is beautiful- that brushed metal/silver plate- hnnnnnnng. I was blown away at the quality. Just... what a gift. I honestly teared up a little bit. THEN THAT WASN'T ALL.
HE INCLUDED A SET OF AWESOME OG ALPS caps and A WHOLE BAG OF CLICKY ALPS!! I LOVE clicky so swapping these out will be my first keyboard project as far as modding. I cannot wait. I've ordered all the **** to get this job done on Amazon and am just waiting to get a few hours to myself.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/WFNj2wQ.jpg)
I'm so excited that I ordered the Winter Alpine aps set- and won an alps artisan from escapism caps!! Thanks bcredbottle and EW3 for that btwShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/l8SVUgr.jpg)
But damn electronicnub.. my FAVORITE gift from anyone this season came from a guy still in high school just being straight selfless. The generosity in mind blowing.
http://imgur.com/a/8i6pX - more pics of the infinity. I got a 60% case in just for this guy to sit in- and I used my favorite one, a plastidipped vortex (gives it weight and a sweet grippy texture)- I'm gonna be spending a lot of time on this guy. May even be my work daily driver.
EDIT:So sorry this Took way longer to post than I Wanted it to. I've had 2 ER trips with my wife this week regarding her teeth and pain. It's been an ordeal. Nothing life threatening obviously but with 2 kids it's been a terrible 2 weeks as far as her well-being.
nice board lol

I'll try to get some more pictures of everything on the board, and better pictures of all the caps in general. My camera ran out of battery after that last shot and I know I didn't do them justice.

My vacation hold expires today so hopefully my gift is coming today or being held hostage at at the Post Office itself. Either way, hopefully I'll be able to grab it sometime soon and take pictures :).
Tracking shows it was delivered on 12/24, so I assume it's one of those two things, but most likely at the post.

Thank you so much, Inanis. I already told you on Skype but I absolutely love everything. I haven't gotten into pens yet but that was on my to-do list thanks to Geekhack. This is a great introduction. The hand warmers are also super useful and I can already imagine the hours of use I will get out of them while I'm outdoors trying to kill myself by jumping off of things or climbing up things. :p The handmade wine holder is lovely, as well. I love these types of simple and minimal wine racks. I still haven't restocked on any bottles but that's definitely even more of a priority now. Last but not least, Boba Fett print is awesome. Empire for life. Boba Fett numba one. Pew pew lasers. :))

Soooo...I guess I am forever on the naughty list since this is the second year in a row I sort of got screwed. Buuutttt, I always end up getting spoiled. Nubbs informed me that someone sent me something and that a few others put something else together and he's also sending me something. :-\ Waayyyy too much stuff. I really appreciate it but...damn. You guys are far too kind. With that being said, I received these gifts a week or so ago but I either wasn't home or didn't have time to even take quick potato pics. Since I'm flying out again tonight I figure I should throw these up while I have the chance.

Yea they're super useful but if you let it sit on the bottom of the pot then air gets in (at least this is the part where I assume that air got in).
After a while the air pocket in it gets bigger =(

I don't mind taking over for this Summer Santa if people are ok with it.
Badwrench is the man for the job if you're feeling like bathing in the sun nubbs

I just want people to love me.
On a serious note, Badwrench is a cool dude and reliable. I'd be more than okay with him running the summer santa if I don't feel up to it when it comes around.

Have we done a summer gift exchange before? If so, I'm down.
Yup, but we might need to find someone to organize it. I think nubbinator said earlier he'd like to take a break since it takes a lot of work to set these up.

I think he's being sarcastic after his actions were recently brought to light again. Apparently screwing your giftee over because you don't like the organizer of the event makes you the victim of the situation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm interested as usual. I would like to suggest a theme of sharing snacks. I know it's been a common thing to include snacks that are unique to your location along with your keyboard stuff but it would be fun to have it be the focus of the gifts.I like this too :)
Just make sure the box is big enough when you ship. I included chips for my giftee during SS and the bag exploded. Still bummed out about that one.

I'm over 100 posts now so I officially can join in (I think). Will there be any updates on this or someone will contact me?
When nubbinator is ready to start, he usually updates the op with a google form to fill out. This is a sign up sheet as well as an info collection form so that he can get your shipping info and preferences. It also has a spot for you to give some details about the hobbies you are into, favorite colors, clothing sizes, etc... give as little or as much info as you want. Just know that the more you give, the better your chances of receiving something you will like. Also, it is stressful for the giver when all they receive is your shipping info and what you are into "keyboards".

SUMMER SANTA SIGNUP (http://goo.gl/forms/zji6k0pspi)
To start, I really want to discourage people just in it to get something cool and marginally participate. We've had people in the past who signed up just to get cool stuff and either didn't send anything on, or sent junk on to someone. That said, just because you're not financially well off doesn't mean you can't sign up and make something cool for someone. Remember, Secret Santa is about giving, giving what you feel comfortable giving, and giving something from the heart that you really think the other person will like.
Rules
- You must have 100 posts and be an active member. Do not spam to make the post requirement
- You must send your package with tracking
- You can pick a region to ship within, but be aware that you will be dropped if there's no one to pair you with. I'll PM you before doing so, but it's been close in the past.
- Each person will be paired up with one other person. That doesn't mean you can't send your own Summer Santa on to someone else, just that each person in the Summer Santa will only be paired up with one other person.
- You must mark your package as from Summer Santa. Remember, this is a surprise.
- Unlike Secret Santa, there is no fixed date for opening. It's preferred that you open after the shipping cut-off day though, unless you Santa specifies otherwise. When you do open it, be sure to post pictures.
- You must post pictures. It's a huge bummer when someone gets a Summer Santa gift and doesn't acknowledge it. It can be a potato picture, but post something just so everyone knows it got there. Failure to post pictures will result in bans from future Secret/Summer Santas.
- All Santa pairings will be revealed on August 1, 2016
- Sign up lasts until May 14th, 2016 to give a little more time to find stuff and packages must be shipped no later than July 9, 2016.

All in the agreement at the end. But you should be spending a minimum of $20 (excluding shipping). There are exceptions, of course, like well thought out hand made stuff.

sure thing, just a note, I think the op link isn't quite working, for me at least.
I think it's a GH issue since it's not working right for me either, but I confirmed the link for the post.

To start, I really want to discourage people just in it to get something cool and marginally participate. We've had people in the past who signed up just to get cool stuff and either didn't send anything on, or sent junk on to someone. That said, just because you're not financially well off doesn't mean you can't sign up and make something cool for someone. Remember, Secret Santa is about giving, giving what you feel comfortable giving, and giving something from the heart that you really think the other person will like.
Rules
- You must have 100 posts and be an active member. Do not spam to make the post requirement
- You must send your package with tracking
- You can pick a region to ship within, but be aware that you will be dropped if there's no one to pair you with. I'll PM you before doing so, but it's been close in the past.
- Each person will be paired up with one other person. That doesn't mean you can't send your own Summer Santa on to someone else, just that each person in the Summer Santa will only be paired up with one other person.
- You must mark your package as from Summer Santa. Remember, this is a surprise.
- Unlike Secret Santa, there is no fixed date for opening. It's preferred that you open after the shipping cut-off day though, unless you Santa specifies otherwise. When you do open it, be sure to post pictures.
- You must post pictures. It's a huge bummer when someone gets a Summer Santa gift and doesn't acknowledge it. It can be a potato picture, but post something just so everyone knows it got there. Failure to post pictures will result in bans from future Secret/Summer Santas.
- All Santa pairings will be revealed on August 1, 2016
- Sign up lasts until May 14th, 2016 to give a little more time to find stuff and packages must be shipped no later than July 9, 2016.

EDIT: **** it. I'm in.
Post by: nubbinator on Sat, 23 April 2016, 12:22:55
I should definitely do this. $20 is finally okay to be spent. I'm not good at stalking, though.
EDIT: **** it. I'm in.
Remember, $20 is a minimum for buying things. If you're artistic or creative or can otherwise put together a well thought out gift that is meaningful and considerate and tailored to your person and it's under $20, that's fine too.
I just want to try and minimize freeloaders and low effort gifts since the spirit of Summer Santa is giving, not getting. It seems like a select portion signs up to get, not to give. I want people to remember that, in essence you're putting together a care package, not just a random gift.

In our family we've made the rules to allow either a re-gifted item or something <$20. Can be a joke gift or not. There was a can of Spam and fruit cake that was passed around for a few years though :))

Well, that would be an amazing gift but a costly one too. Budget is tight and gifts will be the best I can get & afford. I'm going with what I would like to receive so quality is top priority. :)P.S.

What I really like about it, is that even though I gave a gift list that I have on Amazon, my Summer Santa used that to send me things in the spirit of the list, rather than directly from the list.

I got a lot of new art supplies, which is awesome! New watercolors, colored pencils, watercolor pencils and a graphite set! Also got a lot of sweets and snacks! It was a slight struggle to figure out what everything was since most was written in dutch, but luckily I have google translate ;)
Really happy with what I got, I really needed new pencils; I'll definitelly use the watercolor set as well!

The orange sticker "SÖKT" means that it has been opened and searched through in customs. They probably just threw everything back in afterwards, so no hate towards the santa :)

I heard that black candy is terrible. Is it bad?
It's basically sweet-ish licorice... I like sweet-ish licorice so I'd say it's pretty good! I know a lot of people hate licorice, so that's probably why you've heard it's terrible!

It's dope. I have an old injury that keeps me from playing for too long at a time grabbing the mouse and kb. I can play every so often from my soft mushy chair not in the usual computing position.
As long as I'm not letting actual friends down by my productivity in game being worse, like I give a ****...
And now I'll actually try some other games on Steam. I haven't gamed in years and now I have 2 reasons (Overwatch + lounging comfortably with controller).

I just got one recently, because I love Dragon's Dogma on the 360, and wanted to play the remaster on the PC. (Bought a wired 360 controller as a backup). It's... different. I haven't totally been sold on it yet, but it works. Sorta. I probably just need to get used to it.

Tazos started out with a set of 100 tazos featuring the images Looney Tunes characters and 124 Tiny Toons tazos in 1994. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tazos)
Of course they did. Tweety Bird and Taz had better have had the highest value.

No, I'm still sending the gift. Only now it'll be with a "twist". I'm already writing instructions so the receiver can do the process him/herself. Or at least, all the info I gathered for myself before the injury.Just wanted to update on my process. Thought of doing the finishing touches this weekend & shipping it on Monday but I broke my arm last night. Still figuring out what to do... :(
Dang, dude.

I just assume that everyone likes POGs, so if that's true who wouldn't love a kickass slammer for Summer Santa?

All US Summer Santa participants got those. Sorry international, it would have been another $30 or so out of pocket on top of the sticker costs and US shipping cost.

Damn Santa, you really surprised me. First TKL board too. Feels awesome, might sound a bit strange, but I think it sounds nicer than my silenced HHKB. I'll have to throw the Fn+ Esc set on my winkeyless build after I throw on some LEDs.
Thanks so much for making my first Geekhack Secret Santa a great one, I'll be sure to participate in them again and hopefully be able to give a gift as great as this one!

Some red candy (please identify for me)

I was not sure what to think and immediately called and pm'd nubbinator for confirmation that it was from my SS as I have never ordered anything from Elitekeyboards.
Opened to find this; a Black blank HHKB pro2! Holy ****!

Thank you to my Secret Santa! I have no words right now to express how I feel. This community continues to surprise and humble me. In addition to all the thankfulness, there is also a touch of sadness of the knowledge that all of my mx and alps boards that I have spent the last years collecting and building are now going to get a lot less use.
How she looks!
[attachimg=3]
Again, a huge thank you to my SS. You have gone above and beyond my wildest dreams.

Got my summa santa gift today and its fkn sick!
My santa creeped enough to realize that I built this ugly bastard a few months ago.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/cbF1CKW.jpg)
And clearly, is ugly nature gave my santa an idea.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/oO49CjD.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/7qefDnE.jpg)
Im not sure about this kind of stuff, but I assume it was cnc'd. If it was a laser, please correct me.
Theres even cutouts for the Teensys housing.
I will be posting a pic once I carry the guts over to their new home.
Thank you santa, even though I know who you are ;)

Dark chocolate is what you'd serve somebody you hated but told them it was regular chocolate.
It can be quite polarizing, that's for sure. I have always been a fan, especially the artisan stuff that dips into the low 70s on Cocoa.
Never tried or seen the dark chocolate. I just know Sweet Potato >>>>>>>Green Tea.It has a nice bitter note that goes awesome with the sweet cookie inside.

I knew exactly who my santa was just from the package, but I think I would have been able to figure it out from the content.

The bag is really cool, it has different snoopy figures all over the bag, and the book has different peanuts comics. It's in Japanese but luckily most of it is translated already
The candy looks good, have only tried the white ones since I'm still waiting for the chocolate to harden, chocolate doesn't do well when it's 111F outside ;)

It feels really good to type on also.
Got a good bit of heavy linears on the pad, with some green switches from Waateva that I was sort of nervous about, but actually like a lot.
So thanks to santa and to waateva!

They're are people who ditched on this? Eh, I don't have much, but maybe I can contribute an artisan or two. Maybe have it bundled with something else from someone so the gift isn't that small.

Right now I'm waiting on two people to get back to me about when their gift will be shipped. I've sent multiple unresponded requests for updates. I have one person who it was claimed that they shipped a week ago, but have not provided any shipping info after several requests. Lastly, I have one whose shipment has been stuck in pre-shipment since 7/10/16.
If you were serious about helping with the summer santa(s) who look like they are not getting something, PM me. I still plan on putting a bunch of stuff up for sale to help fund something for at least one person.
Also, if your stuff has arrived, please find the time to post pictures.

EDIT:
So here's the full package! The t-shirt is a nice touch. A bit to big but better a size too big than a size too small. And the metro card is active/usable until december 2016 so I need to go to NJ (if my detective skills are correct!). A funny but nice touch. I'm happy and think that this is a great "happening".
(http://i.imgur.com/ehLqQqF.jpg)
And some close-ups! Zealio is the clear/tactile one, don't know the weight but is quite nice and heavy. At least heavier than the Gat Browns I had. Would like to know how many grams is it. Finally a reason to get my cents out. :) Snack key is Topre, Booper one is MX.

Looks like an acrylic hand wired numberpad project to me.

I'm not participating so I'm not sure of the details, but weren't they supposed to be shipped already?
Maybe not.

Oh I meant getting started as in piecing together and painting the gift my santa gave me. Involves me getting my hands dirty and arts and craft :D

I believe the question is about putting together the gift received. 1swt2gs was one of the early shippers.

demik* ಠ_ಠA huge thank you for the gift. I had a feeling it might have been you. Feel confident in your ability to make a convert out of someone that actually really loves mx blues. They kinda feel cheap and plastic now. I do still have to leave an mx board on the desk, but that is for the wifey that cant type without seeing the letters.
I will join you and nubs for that beer.

It has ports for all three controller types.

An SNES controller with a Sega connector?!? What is this sorcery?
Thank you so much, ImpendingxDoom! My son and I are going to love this! And thanks, nubbinator, for all the hours of work and organization you put into this, not to mention the money you've put forward to cover costs for no-shows.

No prob! I actually meant to get your the lettered version but dunno why that got shipped >.<
If you ever get a chance I highly suggest lubing the sliders. Makes the experience 100x better.
Enjoy it!

So thanks again for leading this, nubbinator. Sorry for my part in your stress level, as someone who initially missed the shipping deadline. I can totally understand your decision to step down as Santa leader, but we're all grateful for the time you've given us. Don't be discouraged by the scammers.

its a huge risk sending some custom modded mx compatible thing to someone that is a die hard topre user.
i figured i'd just do it, and i am glad you like it!
also, thanks to nub for organizing this.
and also thanks to chuckdee, and asdfjkl36 !

Can I just say, I'm super glad for this Summer Santa thing. It's been a while since I've been active on GH due to IRL responsibilities eating into my discretionary time. And to be honest I had almost forgotten what a great community we have here. Logging on to post my Santa photos, and seeing all the other posts, reminded me how great GeekHack is.

I can totally understand your decision to step down as Santa leader, but we're all grateful for the time you've given us. Don't be discouraged by the scammers.
+1 to all of this - exactly how I feel right now. :) I didn't realize just how much I missed all you guys. :-*

Glad to see the names announced while also seeing all the cool gifts that everyone received. It's nice to see the gifts that everyone received and the results of some of those gifts (demik's heretical conversion comes to mind ;))

No worries on this being the last. If nubs stops, I will pick it up. :thumb:
Thank you for all the hard work nubbinator, it is greatly appreciated.

But I love my secret santa stuff!
First of all the packaging. An INSANE amount of stamps (seriously covered in them). Gotta love the weird australian designs.[attach=1]
And the goodies
[attach=2][attach=3][attach=4]
A nice parker pen (now my EDC) and lots of australian candy! I had heard of tim tams before, but I didn't realize how goddamned good they were. It was all delicious (except for the liquorish toffee bar...) And a koala greeting card! Appropriate :p

New Glarus does make really good beer. :-* I was going to ship three of their fruity beers to mobbo, but was worried about customs, hence just the one. Planning to send the others now that the one made it though. :)

Green BS mods with dyesub legends. I saw he had bought some dyed ones from the cluster**** sale and never got them, so I figured it would be something 3k would like. Hopefully I didn't guess wrong.

I was the OG Santa and messed up pretty bad. His package went out and is on the way. I never wanted to do 3k wrong :(
I also had not posted a picture of what Zorb gifted me, and to be honest it got packed away during a large clean-up of our home to make sure our dogs had more space. I'll see if I can collect everything and show my appreciation for this wonderful gift I received. Some people may think otherwise, but it was so nice (I use the paper portion of it every day) that I hardly feel I deserve it.

I have to admit I was more than suprised to find such a huge package arriving and even more suprised of it containing great things like these! :eek: I almost feel like I cannot accept all this!
I will definitively give the SSK a special place on my desk (probably as daily driver), and will post some pics once I cleaned it!
And OMG my first clack, even for BS, can't believe it... let alone the bros! :eek:

I found the handwritten note torn to shreds in my puppy's crate before sending it. Tired and a bit pissed I was certain without it the gift wouldn't have as much impact. Thankfully I was wrong! Sorry again to everyone involved. Don't worry about feeling a bit blessed if that's what I'm getting from your post. Recently some great people have been more than super positive influences on me, and Secret Santa is exactly the thing that brings out the best in people.Tracking says awaiting pickup from PO...

I'll repost my comment from another thread and add a little too it:
I've been very on the fence on if I'm going to run it this Christmas. I'll probably get something up this weekend. I'm debating having people put a small deposit down that you get back after you deliver your gift and post pictures, just to try and dissuade freeloaders a little. I'm just annoyed with the whole thing because with what I've spent out of pocket making up for slackers would have bought me a nice keyboard kit or aftermarket Clack or two (or a nice camera lens).
I'll also add that it's stressful to run, often like herding cats since so many people require weekly reminders or sign up and forget and go radio silent until the week before, then ask "oh, was I supposed to do something?".
It's ruined a lot of the joy of it for me. So this will be my last one.

To re-iterate what I said in the other thread- if you're not feeling it, don't do it. Let someone else step up. Or not. You've had some ****ty experiences. And no one should expect since you've had those experiences, that you're under any obligations to do it again. Just my take on the whole thing. I was thinking about volunteering - but after hearing your experiences, I'm not and don't want to deal with people who can't keep up their end of the deal. It sucks... and it's really bad to have the few ruin it for all. But I don't want to see anyone taking on a burden for my entertainment- especially when I'm not willing to do it and they've been burned before.

SECRET SANTA SIGNUP (https://goo.gl/forms/526IvvaFFtcGCTHU2)
To start, I really want to discourage people just in it to get something cool and marginally participate. We've had people in the past who signed up just to get cool stuff and either didn't send anything on, or sent junk on to someone. That said, just because you're not financially well off doesn't mean you can't sign up and make something cool for someone. Remember, Secret Santa is about giving, giving what you feel comfortable giving, and giving something from the heart that you really think the other person will like.
Rules
- You must have 100 posts and be an active member. Do not spam to make the post requirement
- You must send your package with tracking
- You can pick a region to ship within, but be aware that you will be dropped if there's no one to pair you with. I'll PM you before doing so, but it's been close in the past.
- Each person will be paired up with one other person. That doesn't mean you can't send your own Summer Santa on to someone else, just that each person in the Summer Santa will only be paired up with one other person.
- You must mark your package as from Summer Santa. Remember, this is a surprise.
- Please do not open your gifts until December 24, 2016 unless otherwise told by your Santa. When you do open it, be sure to post pictures.
- You must post pictures. It's a huge bummer when someone gets a Secret Santa gift and doesn't acknowledge it. It can be a potato picture, but post something just so everyone knows it got there. Failure to post pictures will result in bans from future Secret/Summer Santas.
- All Santa pairings will be revealed on January 14, 2016
- Sign up lasts until November 5, 2016 to give a little more time to find stuff and packages must be shipped no later than December 10, 2016.
Submit your tracking information here. (https://goo.gl/forms/nE3jsOTKASptumxS2)

You must have 100 posts and be an active member. Do not spam to make the post requirement
:(
:(
So all 3 of us have are shown to have post counts that are < 100. But all 3 of us actually have > 100 posts in our profiles. Which post count is being used for this?

Post by: Sinanju on Fri, 16 December 2016, 20:33:03
But you have to open them to see the notes. I already opened one too early for that particular secret Santa because I didn't know what it was. And I only figured out which one it was for by posting up. Not that big of a deal, but made me glad I put forum Nick and forum on my notes.
Might be able to ask Nubbinator for the tracking number your Santa submitted, and then match it to your boxes?
Im in this one and a silver coin forum. Luckily it was a pretty clear choice which one had the coin in it.
Post by: XMIT on Fri, 16 December 2016, 22:42:38
Remember, you should be shipping today. Make sure to update the shipping form with your tracking info. I have 17 of 28 so far.
You are so trusting. I made the DT folks ship a month ago! We've all been patiently salivating over the boxes that we've received, hoping, waiting. We open our gifts on Festivus this year on DT.
Sorry I missed the sign-up over here. Nubbs if someone else wants in late and doesn't care about December 25th as a deadline let me know, maybe I can dig up a little gift for someone. :D

Not so much trusting, as expecting adults that signed up for something to actually do it. I actually disliked the early ship on DT as it gave almost no time to consider the gift to be given. The gifts I sent here and and reddit were a lot better because of that, and the fact that the person that I had didn't give any hints as to what they wanted, so with no time, they got something less than I'd have wanted. And no matter how early you 'make' people ship, that doesn't change the fact that asshats are asshats and won't do what they say no matter how much or little time you give them.

Then maybe I'm more cynical, but I've seen the trouble that non-shippers create for Secret Santa.
chuckdee you're an odd exception looking at my Secret Santa list. Your recipient is something of a lurker and would be challenging to find a good item for regardless. Your own Secret Santa, though, is a ridiculously unusually awesome one. I thought you might offer this exact feedback so I made sure that you'd get something good if nothing else. :P
I also feel like folks on DT are likely to send something that they already have. There were only a couple of folks who went out and bought something to send (apart from chocolates or a card).
But, sure, if I run one of these again I'll give maybe 2-3 weeks to get something shipped. I like that I started early and that I was in touch with people throughout. Folks are less likely to flake if they're responding to PMs. Also, regardless of early shipping, there were a couple that shipped really late because of some really complicated logistical arrangements.

The problem with two of my Secret Santas is that they're very secretive. And I'm not sure which forum they're for. But both are pretty awesome.
First, I've been looking at getting the D&D5e books for a while, but haven't pulled the trigger on them. Well, someone did it for me!
(http://i.imgur.com/gObpUCNh.jpg) (http://imgur.com/gObpUCN)
And the second one just blew me away, and made me think I have to step my game up for next year. Seeing I liked games of all sorts, the Secret Santa made a game out of opening it... complete with quests, and dice and everything! I really enjoyed it (and my daughter did too... one of the quests had me roll to see if I had to share chocolate coins, and I did, so I shared them with her, and while I was counting out half, she just took the whole thing and said, with a straight face, "The Thief Stole the Food".
I laughed over that one, so have no pictures of it. But the gifts were varied, given thought, and so over the top from what I expected!
(http://i.imgur.com/H0xNWoyh.jpg) (http://imgur.com/H0xNWoy)
I just wish I knew who the Santas were. But thank you for the gifts, and the experience!

Already eating the Long Beach Jerky, it's so good!
Looking forward to trying the shave soaps and coffee and I know the HWS Jerky is gonna be good too!
Got the poster set aside to flatten out before framing.
EDIT: So in the card there was a note saying watch out the coffee may be a little green. I didn't take it literally but apparently I should have as Nubbs informed me I should open it up.
I found these

Thank you Secret Santa for such a thoughtful gift. I love the multiple letters and the time you put into this to find cool things that I like. The prints from Binge's Wifu and the Dark Tower are awesome. I will be framing these for sure. I have been wanting the claptrap pop for a while. The stab wire and clips are just what I needed to finish my other board up and all the candy is great. I am particularly fond of the yuzu gummies, they are awesome.
Thank you again, this is great.

This is how it looked right after opening:
(http://i.imgur.com/o4ubyyn.jpg)
The package contained several different small packages with small lables on them. There was also a card that was to be opened after all packages with slight explanations of what I'd just gotten. Here's the different packages:

This package contained glass beads that had belong to the mother of my santa - they could be, according to the note included, as old as 40 years. The reason behind sending these was for encapsulating them into caps, I'll see what happens with that ;)

The package is from Canada and this is what it was inside :
(http://imgur.com/hAszOu4.jpg)
Tons of sweets, love them, have to fight my daughter for them.
Maple Syrup, I have always wanted to try some, here you can find it very hard and I'm not sure it's the real thing, so finally I get to taste this famous syrup, going to make some pancakes to go with, thank you so much Secret Santa!!!
A hand painted mug, that is really special, when I saw that I knew my Secret Santa is a fan of Franco-Belgian Comics (read also the note that came with the package and hand the confirmation :cool: ) , Marsupilami is so cool one of my favorites!!! That was also the moment when I knew who my Secret Santa was (Canadian + Lucky Luke = :rolleyes: thanks man it was awesome!!!! )
And this :
(http://imgur.com/trV61MI.jpg)
a wool 1UP 60% sleeve, with so many 60% in my collection I really needed this, and it goes perfect with that board, spot-on !
It was great to be part of this. Thank You Secret Santa!! and Happy Holidays to you and everybody here !

Fistly: The box
(http://i.imgur.com/2Tb5zB3.jpg)
Inside was a wonderfully hand written note from my santa
(http://i.imgur.com/PFdFLWI.jpg)
The lure gave me a chuckle as I will be getting something similar for the upcoming season. The candy bar is my bad though, should have mentioned that I have allergies :-[ I'm sure my brother will enjoy it in my stead
(http://i.imgur.com/KAvq7kf.jpg)
The next part of my gift was some cool alps switches (don't worry about the blue), a hirose orange (with og quad shot cap),some artisans and a switch keychain
(http://i.imgur.com/jb9eBXe.jpg)
And finally some vintage Canadian currency :p

SS this year made me realize i suck at wrapping gifts.
I tried for the first time this year and the first snarky comment i got from my gf was "holy **** that looks bad , can i just rewrap them for you?"
Now she gets a gift wrapped in 10 different boxes (all wrapped like crap)

A nice little note, what I can only assume is Vietnamese powdered meth, nice beard oil, custom lasered coasters of a Clack Ogre drawing I did, a Binge sticker, a Nightcaps half shell, and an Objective 2 amp kit that I will have to scratch my head and figure out (but I'm looking forward to hearing it).

I might have written a little too much about myself to try to help combat the fact that I am more of a lurker (sorry, Santa), but my Santa sure surprised me.
I opened the brown package to see a box with red armor and explosions in the background. I quickly began to think of what might lay underneath the rest of the paper packaging.
Sinanju? Char's Zaku? I finally got rid of the rest of the paper to see this behometh in front of me.
Soda can for scale.
(http://imgur.com/jo2TRST.jpg)
A RE:1/100 Nightale model! I love 1/100 scale models, and this one will fit perfectly with my collection. Although, I may need a new display case for just it alone!
Seriously, look at all of these parts! Sorry, Santa, it might be a while before I can post completed pics of it.
(http://imgur.com/DHl3IuA.jpg)
I didn't see anything with a name to thank (I'll double check tomorrow in case I missed it in the packaging. I left the shipping box at my parents house), so it looks like I'll have to wait until the Santas are revealed to thank them by name. Until then, thanks an absolute ton to my Secret Santa! This was by far one of the most surprising presents I have received in a long time, and look forward to building it. This was my first time participating in an online Secret Santa, and I can't wait for next year. It was worth it just reading my giftee's enjoyment of their gift, let alone when you include this absolutely amazing gift. Thanks again, Santa!
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

So guys, I'm actually 500kms away from where my package may have been delivered. I can't wait to get back to my apartment to see what is in store.I am 4000km away and I am scared I won't make it home in time to pick up my package before it gets sent back :( I am getting back a week later than expected.. hopefully I can call ahead and tell them to hold it.
Merry Christmas everyone, so many of these gifts are awesome!

When I opened up the box, the thing that immediately popped out was the awesome model of a 240z! I had actually seen this exact model a few weeks back while doing some Christmas shopping and planned on buying it once my wallet had recovered from the holidays. So to get it from a Secret Santa on a keyboard forum was a huge, and welcome, surprise. I did mention in the form that I owned a 240z, but still never could have expected that. Was really, really cool. As a side note, my Z was originally purchased for my Dad in '73 as his college graduation gift from my Grandfather. My Dad was here when I opened the gift and was equally stoked to see it =)
The box also contained my Santa's favorite sci-fi book, The Worthing Saga, which is totally new to me. I love to read, especially sci-fi and fantasy, so I very much look forward to giving this a go over my coming break. I wrote on my form that one of my favorite parts about meeting new people is being introduced to their hobbies and likes, and I can't think of a better way to share that than by reading their favorite book.
Next up was the bag with the hand written note on it, explaining each of the gifts. And a good thing, too, because otherwise I would have been very confused by the plant and it's hanger! Haha I had never heard of an air plant before, and I have to say it's pretty damn cool. My GF and I keep a variety of house plants around, since we don't have any kind of patio or yard, so this will fit right in.
Lastly, inside the bag with the little air plant was a Zorb Entling v2! I freaking adore this little guy already and he will absolutely be adorning my Carbon board once everything from Zeal arrives.
All in all, it was a very thoughtful gift and I couldn't be happier with everything. Thank you very much Santa!
And thank you nubbinator for putting this all together and making it possible for everyone. Merry Christmas to all of you!

I totally forgot what I put on my message (wrote a long weird blurb about things I liked) and gift was extremely thoughtful.
(http://i.imgur.com/8cTlEgL.jpg)
Had a little bit of everything on the list that I like. Recently have been getting into watches and my gifter was nice enough to give me a watch fixing set. I have already used it over 10 times to readjust my watches, swap out bands, and take off links.
Also included was 2 keycaps (the green one I really don't know what it is, got to investigate) and a geekhack key as well as some DIY cable ties. I have already used them to clean up some cables I had laying around!

That looks like a sour fapple slofi, but I could be wrong.
Awesome gift!
who is the creator of the slofi?
I will try to get more/better pics tomorrow. I am a photographer but just get so lazy when it comes to keyboards/keycaps.

Looks like this one to me
I think the color is called Orkgasm, or at least the Ork in the same colorway I got from that sale is called that.
Made some headway on my Secret Santa present. This kit is really making me considering getting a new compressor & airbrush. Already have some ideas for this kit, let alone other ones. Full size keyboard & 1/100 Jesta for scale:

Also I think the person I sent to might know who I am

Raspberry and the Japanese dark chocolate (not the nasty dark you can get everywhere) are best, imo.

But I did get my secret santa :D

I mentioned to my santa that purple was in fact the best color. And surprise surprise, they agreed!
So all kinds of purple goodies. A 1up 60% sleeve, a couple purple desk trinkets, a sweet cable, some league swag (I have a problem, I know) and stickers!
Thanks secret santa!

Will get a good pic of mine when I am home, great to see so many good gifts this year as well!
Sinanjus especially ;D
All the Santas seem to have done a great job! I am a little biased about mine though, they picked out very awesome and generous gift.
Speaking of which, I finished it!

Just a behemoth of a kit!

I've avoided doing any panel lines or stickers until I decide on if I am going to bite the bullet on a new compressor.
Thanks again, Santa, it was a pretty fun build. Had a decent amount of undergating on it which was really nice, and helped the build go by a little faster.

OMG this is unreal. I need more 1/144 kits to add to my collection. Maybe once I have a larger display area I will move to 1/100

My Secret Santa, Sek1ne knocked it out of the park with this one.

There is an ASK with SKCM Orange Alps (If i'm not mistaken), a Milk Puppet Master, two Tallboy Craft beers (I'm sipping on as I type this), a fancy chocolate (I can not wait to devour), and a lovely note.
This community is the best I love all you guys and all the awesome gifts that have been given out.

Unfortunately I don't follow the NBA so I feel like a bit of a fraud wearing it but it's a nice cap nonetheless! Also, I need to find out where I can buy more of these gundam and start another collection of gunpla.
The most exciting part of the gift was reading the note. Not just one but two pairs of shoes to wait for?? More stuff for me to be excited for! Thank you so much to my SS for managing to deliver such a nice gift even while travelling abroad.

Going to be leaving super early tomorrow so opened up mine tonight. I got two kinds of coffee (will have to try these out when I get back), a Royal Glam wrist rest (60%), a crypto book (invisible ink style), and a single month notebook. Thank you very much to my secret santa :)
I hope you liked it! I saw that you had coffee on your wishlist, and I was in in the process of trying new coffees for myself. So I got you the same coffee I decided to try for myself. I definitely like the Kicking Horse better... the other one is too fine for me, and I look forward to finishing it so I can get back to the Kicking Horse. Definitely not doing the Starbucks any more in deference to that type. I've found those crypto books very good for storing my very secure passwords, and the guy Ivelin is a pretty cool guy, so figured I'd pass some along to my giftees. Same with the Dial Notebook... it works for some, and not for others, so I figured I'd try to get others in one them. And Royal Glam rests are always a good choice IMO, though I couldn't figure out what kind of keyboard you used, so I hope it's the right size.

Thank you nugglets for the very thoughtful gift. :thumb:
I had a great time looking for things I thought you would enjoy, so I'm glad you liked it. The gummies were kind of a tester to see which you might like, so I'll be sending a few bags of the yuzu along here soon. =)

I use a TKL as a daily driver, but the wrist rest is perfect since I plan on getting a 60% some time soon. :thumb:
The one coffee that's fine ground is more suited for espresso, but all I have at home is a Keurig, but I was able to find somebody at work that was able to use it and they love it. The Dial notebook I've been keeping in my jacket pocket as a field notes book in case I need to jot something down. Thanks again!
