Secret Santa 2016 - OPENING GIFTS!

[njbair]

I opened my gifts on Sunday, just now getting around to posting them. My Santa sent some truly awesome stuff!



My Santa wrapped the gifts, which I didn't even think to do for my giftee! Nice job.





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:

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.

I got a cheap little one for my dad for Christmas.

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

[GL1TCH3D]

How could you do this to me Binge?!?!

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)

It was a joke because I got a box full of Binge stickers xD

But I know who it is!

The discoloration of the mousepad is not from the lighting!

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.

[CPTBadAss]

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.

[katushkin]

It is done, Thank you Santa

Dude you are so ****ing northern )

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)

[katushkin]

I am not going to open mine until Christmas day, but I will be sure to post pictures! I hope my recipient has all of theirs from me now...

[Halverson]

Got mine today(part one I hear)! Will open on the 25

Look at this haul!! Patties for atleast a weekend  What is that a Chilly Willy shirt? Yes, Yes.


Darth Helmet


Clicky F goodness I can carry with me always. Should be good for those slow meetings. "Where is that click coming from?"


Galaga, Sweet!!



Luckily I have one (or two) of these in laying around


After some blowing, alcohol and a bunch of resets...


I'm old so I am entitled to cheat with one of these:


And now I shoot like this

[nubbinator]

Awesome gift!  And that Darth Vader bobble head is cute as hell.  I love those little Funko Pop guys.

TOO MANY PEOPLE WAITING!!  OPEN NOW!!

Sorry babe. Opened some other stuff today that weren't gifts, gifts wait till Christmas day!

[trenzafeeds]

Aaaaaand, I'm back. Here it is.

You may remember my box from my first post, I've already taken out the grapfruit and eaten it, as directed.


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


What a nice little box...


Oh hey, bro


My very own aftershave... I should expand my brand into all men's hygiene


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!

[nubbinator]

I love seeing these super stalker gifts.  From what I've seen so far, this has been the most impressive Secret Santa yet in terms of personalization for people.

[ghostjuggernaut]

So I came home to an unexpected package today.

To say I am at a loss for words would be an understatement.  I now know who my SS is though, and want to tell him that I appreciate all of the thought that you put into it.  I will not let this go unnoticed.  I have saved your address now, so expect something in return in the future.

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


Candy!!!


New Star Wars Comics!!


Drinks!! (prolly gonna save these due to their uniqueness)


I noticed this tucked away with the candy right as I was uploading the initial pictures.  =D


I am extremely thankful to my SS.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Wow, that's an amazing gift!  Congrats.  :)

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

[engicoder]

How about movie cross overs like Godzilla vs Exogorth the Space Slug

Here they are!





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.

It's called Murderface! I asked Punks earlier. It's really difficult to capture how awesome it is!

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.

On another note,  the chocolates are awesome!
