Quoted from j_m_:I still can't get over the fact that someone copied my gift idea and now two pinsiders will end up with a spider-man pin!
Thanks to you, at least two are getting Lexuses too.

Ol' Kris Kringle paid me a visit last night! Check out the score below, and sneak peak into my office in the last shot!
Thank you Santa! You did your research well! Very happy with all of the presents! Can't wait to watch my friends Charlie, KT, Bug, and Ben in the movie! Looking forward to my little guy wearing his sweet new shirt, and clearly I am happy with mine! Thank you!!photo_2017-11-30_10-04-08 (resized).jpg

Nest go for a smaller box (they always have the good stuff )
Luckily, the age limit is not based on mental but chronological so I can open it...
A nice tie in to my obvious love of the simpsons. I probably was supposed to keep the box unopened but no way! A sweet figurine that will now adorn my desk at work!
The final pieces of the gift I am giving are out for delivery to me, so I should be able to drop it in the mail tomorrow or Monday at the latest.
Quoted from gliebig:UPS dropped a big box at my door last night. I got so excited that it may be my SS gift. I brought it in the house and was about to open it, then I saw it was actually my neighbors. UPS dropped at the wrong house.
Mis-delivered packages are the ultimate secret santa gift!

Box just sent. Tracking info sent to John.
Thanking John for doing this. And making everyone's holiday better !

And your dog will turn it into a 30lb gift for you.

It's the gift that keeps on giving!!
My SS gift arrived today. I decided I would wait till....I could grab a knife to open it. To my surprise I received two DMD glare eliminators from Comet pinball, a can of Jolt cola, a bottle of Virgil’s Black Cherry Cream Soda (yum) and a brand new Coffee Cup....Robocup! Too cool....thanks for livening up my Christmas SS!
My gift came today! Wow, great job to whomever my santa was!!!
I got this awesome Who Dunnit neon clock. Who Dunnit is one of the games that is pretty high up on my wish list!
I also got a cool set of coasters like pmWolf did, which is awesome because I was kinda jealous of his! Mine had different games though, which came out fantastic! F-14 is seriously one of my favorite games, and not only was there an F-14 coaster, but the base of the holder is the F-14 playfield. Also a Who-Dunnit coaster.
What a great secret santa. Thanks to whomever sent these!

Woah, I didn't know Virgil's makes a Black Cherry Cream Soda! They make the best root beer, by far, so I'll have to look for the black cherry! Your Secret Santa gave me a gift too!

Yeah it is chilling in the fridge as I type this...never had this flavor and looking forward to it!
my secret santa gift arrived yesterday just as I was leaving for pinball league night so the pre-xmas unboxing had to wait until this morning
now why would I send myself something? unless it was from future me that went back into the past and landed in virginia by mistake
apparently, santa has access to a buttload of tape and spared no expensive to ensure that this parcel was securely wrapped and no carrier foolish enough could attempt to "steal" its contents without me knowing. (note to self: purchase stock options for the 3M company adhesives division)
2 hours later... with the use of a hacksaw blade, an x-acto blade and a laser I finally have the outer wrapping off
f*ck! a box with more of this [human proof] tape!
my god! santa IS watching me. it's a good thing that I had league @ marvin's last night
he knows when you've been bad or really bad
look at all of the goodies that are squirreled away in here. hey! what's this thing under the artist composition? something from the "worst hack/repair you ever saw" thread?
someone's been keeping up with me and lloyd's MLP comments
nope! is a pretty cool clock made from some EM pinball stepper motor board
that's a lot of wires, just to tell time!
here's everything so let's continue going through these MLP wrapped gifts one-by-one (btw, nice art work on all of the packages whoever you are
quite the haul!
apparently, my secret santa has been shadowing some of the drama that I've been participating in as of late
popcorn and atomic fire balls to follow all of the craziness here on pinside
if I know my balls, (and I think that I do), I believe that this is a HUGE bag of those rather hard to find "oooooooohh shiny!" pinball balls from terry @ pinball life
ooooohh... shiny!
they say good things come in small packages, and this one is no exception
more @*$&%! tape!!!
a plethora of pinball stuff
a can/bottle cozy to keep my cold [beverages] cool, some stickers and a couple of pinball key fobs including one of the "king" (mr. richie) and apparently someone now knows my name (more stalking apparently...
these will definitely come in handy
and last but not least...
the MLP thing comes back to bite me
it's a coffee mug that changes when it's warmed up. let's find out together what that blackness is hiding...
around the bottom of the mug, the text reads 'may all your holograms be green - santa 2017'
this is probably one of the coolest gifts that I've ever received
thank you secret santa, who ever you are

Is that a creature from the black lagoon mug?!?!
Quoted from j_m_:this is probably one of the coolest gifts that I've ever received
Yes, that is cool.

Now that is a cool clock. The mug is very cool as well.
Lots of cool stuff in these threads that I never knew existed. I need to get a set of the coasters that I keep seeing in this thread! Does anyone have a link to them or are they home made?

That onesie is amazing!! I need to find one of those!!
Quoted from suave84:Secret Santa present arrived today. Tons of information in this thing. Thank you to my secret Santa. I love it!!
I think that we might have the same Secret Santa!!
I just opened mine today, same book
Quoted from j_m_:what is the suzo-happ item?
looks like a flashlight with tripod like legs?? be great for working inside the pin cab
That clock is so kick ass!
Today I got my not-so-secret Santa gift! The personalized t-shirt is awesome and I love the phrases - quite the conversation piece!
I also got some chrome decals for my T2 bumpers. I'm torn on that one because I'm afraid it's going to make me want to do the full chrome upgrade because I've loved seeing what others have done, but for now, I'll resist and just do the bumpers.
Thanks Brian, my not-so-secret Santa!
