This post is looooong overdue.  I've been spending a bit less time around here due to some things in my personal life, but this is a wonderful reminder of how awesome this community is.  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.  My santa is an amazing gift giver, and an even better lover ( ).  <3 u santa  

* HoffmanMyster gets handsy with santa

Okay, on to santa's package.  (heh)


Don't hassle the Hoff!  Off to a great start.

So much awesome stuff.  Santas are killing it this year.  I love seeing the amount of thought and care that Nubs puts into his gifts.

That giant blow up poro tho

[thelectronicnub]

Got mine today!

https://sli.mg/FOAeiw

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!

I'm giving slackers till Saturday, then shaming begins.  I'll also be selling some stuff to help finance gifts for people who got nothing...which is starting to look like far too ****ing many.

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.

[kiwi99]

will chip in a bit of money for gifts if need be, just give me a pp to send it to

[kekman]

a real shame that whoever had rm-rf has gone missing, rm-rf is a real standup guy in the community. I'd be glad to send a bit of cash to your way nubbs to help funding gifts to those who have had the misfortune for their santa to seemingly disappear.

[mrbishop]

will help too.

life happens but no word is kind of crappy.

[rm-rf]

but i got a parcel in the mail today!
very exciting! thank you secret santa!

i was informed that there should be more, not sure when!
either way, thank you!
added to my other keyboard right away!

[funderburker]

Got my gift yesterday! Thank you Summer Santa, I love it! WIll update with photos this evening, busy at work.

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".



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.



STICKERS!

[Diokhan]

Thanks whoever sent me this felt really personal!

[chuckdee]

^ That's really cool!  What was the project included?

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

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