Quoted from j_m_:what is the suzo-happ item?
It's an alien multi-tool! 
Actually is a great multi-tool. The tool folds out and snaps in place. Never worry about loosing the bits!

For real! Do you really want to explain to your extended family that you participate in an internet secret santa, and then explain what Pinside is? Nah, just get it out of the way now and open that thing up.

A dude online (fat, balding, middle aged) stalked my posts for an hour or so and found me this random thing that I’m probably going to like more than the stupid _______ bought by extended family

Hey, I’m not middle aged! 
Actually I probably am lol.
Quoted from Ericc123:Hey, I’m not middle aged!
Actually I probably am lol.
I’m not either but 2 kids and a minivan are taking their toll...
Quoted from Whysnow:OPEN IT!
What is wrong if the person receiving the gift wants to wait until Christmas ?
I'm not expecting any other gifts this year. So I want to wait so I do have a gift to open on Christmas. January 7th.
LTG : )
Quoted from Whysnow:OPEN IT!
That is part of the fun of the whole thing! To see what people gave each other!
I will and I will post pictures when I open it, don't worry. I can't open it yet, I haven't even mailed my gifts yet. My gifts are going out this week, so maybe after that. I really doubt I could make it until Christmas anyway, so don't worry.

Hey now! I didn't get you!
Quoted from blondetall:I sticked this thread so it will not get lost, but I think it's just on the subform and only Robin can stick on the main forum, so I'll see if he can do that.
Can we get this stickied on the main forum? I'd rather not "follow" the clubs subforum, but do want to see this thread.
Quoted from jeffc:Can we get this stickied on the main forum? I'd rather not "follow" the clubs subforum, but do want to see this thread.
It will be done.
Quoted from Fezmid: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!
Glad you like the shirt.
Its a design I was worried might be offensive to some, but that's kind of the idea.
I made the shirt and the card using a Cricut. This was a great way for me to get some good practice on the machine.
I was going to make the pop bumpers decals too but I just didn't have time, and buying them from the forums here helped out a fellow pinsider too!
Be sure to take some pics of you wearing the shirt at shows and auctions!!!
And you need to put those bumper decals on, they do look awesome! I think you'll be happy with them.
Quoted from PghPinballRescue:Who can guess who my secret Santa was???
Pee-Wee?? 
Quoted from gliebig:Wanna sell me that skill roll for xmas?
No thanks, but you can come play it. I'll supply the nickels.
We are just about 1 week away now from the Dec. 12th cutoff for shipping out gifts. Obviously that's not a hard date if something is taking longer to arrive, but please try to shoot for that day like originally outlined to have everything shipped by so people can have their gifts by Christmas. I'll post an updated list of people who have contacted me to say they have shipped their packages already tonight. If anything is stopping you from shipping by the 12th at this point, please let me know. Thanks again!
Quoted from LTG:Package arrived.
Thank you Secret Santa, you made this Christmas really special !
LTG : )
Going to wait to Jan 7th?
Quoted from docquest:Sent my secret santa package out this morning. Hope my recipient likes his items.
My Secret Santa package was delivered. Recipient hasn't posted here yet. I hope he liked my present. Or can sell or trade it for something they could use.
LTG : )
My SS gifts were delivered but they havent posted here yet. Also, I received mine today and I won’t share a pic but the giver put more thought and creativity in it than any other gift I have received in 44 years. I am truly amazed and thank you very much!

Ah man no picture, can you describe it? It is all part of the fun.
Secret Santa hit St Charles, IL. Thank you very much for the variety of items! Im going to have to research what some of this is. The STP concert poster is killer and very well thought out!!!
My items will be shipping out on Monday!
Quoted from Aflacjack:Ok...i will send a couple pics
Wow, nice! I need a lot of those things myself as I'm new and have almost no tools. Looks like pinball repair in a box!

Oh wow, you made the whole thing, not just the personalization on the front??? Impressive work all the way around, thanks for putting the time into it!
Ok, here is the updated shipped list as promised. So far so good though, with 6 days left to ship before the deadline we already have 44 out of the 62 secret santas that have checked in. If you have shipped your gift and don't see you name on this list, please let me know so I can update.
Please also remember to post in this thread that you received your gifts when they arrive, as the sender is usually a little curious if it made it to you and definitely keep those gift pics coming when you open them. Everyone loves seeing what people received.

Still waiting for my secret santa gift to arrive. I can only assume its because the GOTG LE's are just hitring the assemby line this week. So I should be recieiving my new GOTG LE game next week? Thanks secret santa! 
Quoted from docquest:Still waiting for my secret santa gift to arrive.
Same here, but i hear good things come to those who wait.
I'm slow. Got things packed up last night, and will probably wander to the post office in the next few days.
It's taking a really long time to sign all of those majestic 8x10's of myself.
Quoted from pmWolf:It's taking a really long time to sign all of those majestic 8x10's of myself.
I'm sure the lucky recipient will be pleased. Those things will be like bitcoins on Ebay. He'll be ordering lots of new games. What a gift !

Thanks for your dedication to this thread, Les, and congrats on your new Ghostbusters.

Haha! Wow. I HAVE to know the story behind the Super-Dinosaur comics. Artist is a good friend of mine.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:Thanks for your dedication to this thread, Les, and congrats on your new Ghostbusters.
You're welcome. And Thanks! That one came up out of nowhere, but I couldn't pass it up for the price. I'm glad I could make it work.
SS haul is in, wow what a great secret Santa I had, gifts were neat but even better was the level of cyber-stalking it must have taken to find out tidbits about me.. the blacklight bulbs were a nice touch! Also the "sex tape" movie was funny when the wife was looking at this stuff, she yells at me " so your pinball buddies are giving you porn now?" ... I said," yes, it's one of the rules on pinside, you have to give porn away..No go find my pornstash STAT!."
You guys call it stalking, I call it "attention", thanks Secret Santa!!!!
