Already Shopping. Need some better ideas for my person... Since I ain't saying whom you are, everyone needs to start posting more content 
Then I can stalk you better to see what you may like.
Whoever has me, size has changed, it is now DP LE!!! This stalking thing is hard. What do you get a person who has or had every pin you want?! This is going to take me a few days to "stalk". 
Whomever got me, feel free to ask Les for a listing of my real collection. Pinside one aint accurate
Quoted from fosaisu:Hey phat_jay, do you have this t-shirt already? Just in case your Santa has a taste for fine art:

Omg how awful lol!
Stalking ain’t easy. I’ll have to sit next to the fireplace with some cookies and milk and channel my inner Santa.
Stalking, I thought you said stocking

Quoted from flashinstinct:To Make things easy, I've created a shop just for the people on this list. You must be on the list in order to purchase. If you are not the order will be rejected.

Good idea! Start now and you'll have it ready to go for Pinside Secret Santa 2019. 
Quoted from Phat_Jay:Did you know astroglide shipped in 5 gal pails? I do now.....
Oh man!! The fun we could have at banger jays next party w that... just sayin...

What do you mean? I found if I limit myself to 3 per hour, I stop going cross-eyed! I can do this...
I was kind of thinking what it would be like if one year we switch it up and do white elephant style pinball gifts. I'm kind of curious what pinball junk everyone has left unused collecting dust.
Or I dare someone to introduce a zonk gift that we can pass along each yeah, ha ha.
Just kidding, let's not do that. Have to be careful what I wish for.

I don’t have a ton of extra/used pinball stuff, but wouldn’t be opposed to giving it away if I thought my secret Santa could use it (ie. the original display I pulled from my Metallica). One mans junk can be another’s treasure. A white elephant gift mixed in with the other stuff could be fun. This whole thing is just a good time, glad I’m involved!

You guys are outta here!

Yes... careful indeed. Remember your SS may be reading this.

Maybe we could save that idea for a Christmas in July bit of fun 
Gifts purchased, just awaiting tracking. Who woulda thought astroglide would incur a hazmat charge...
Quoted from pacmanretro:Wow people are fast this year!!! I'm still stalking...
Yeah, me too. Finding any personal information about my stalkee is proving somewhat difficult...
Quoted from j_m_:waiting on a couple sites offering up 'black friday' discounts for my recipient
Same.
Done! I stalked my SS pinside profile. Thankfully they have a list of the games they currently have. I went a little overboard at Marco. I hope they like what they get. If not, I guess they can always return what I sent. It was fun shopping for someone else with the same interests. I hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas and great new year. Peace and Love

It has begun!
Getting gifts days before Thanksgiving may be a record. To all those that haven't even bought gifts, let alone mailed them, don't worry or feel like you are doing something wrong...it's not a race.
I plan on getting serious about getting all my gifts together and in the mail next week. 
Quoted from LesManley:Getting gifts days before Thanksgiving may be a record. To all those that haven't even bought gifts, let alone mailed them, don't worry or feel like you are doing something wrong...it's not a race.
I'd add also don't feel like you need to open them when they arrive either, some people save them until christmas. Just make sure to post that they arrived, santas stalk tracking numbers and want to know that you got them.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:Just make sure to post that they arrived, santas stalk tracking numbers and want to know that you got them.
Right, because even though a tracking number shows delivered, we want to make sure the secret santa actually got the package and someone didn't swipe it off their front steps or something. Secret Santas won't know a package is coming on a specific day, so if it was delivered and someone stole it, they would never know the difference.
Quoted from Insane:I had a gift arrive Friday. A t-shirt. I haven't looked at it, saving for x-mas. I opened the package thinking, I don't think I have anything currently on order. Grabbed the paper out and it said Pinside secret Santa.
Keep in mind too that several people have PM'd me and told me that their gifts are shipping in multiple packages from different retailers, etc. So just because you got one thing already doesn't mean there isn't more coming so continue to keep your eyes out. Definitely want to make sure all the gifts get in the hands of their intended recipients.
Ooh....A package arrived from Mezel Mods today and I know I didn't order anything from them.
First present that's going under the tree.

I got another box from Amazon yesterday. Didn't open that one.
