So excited to participate this year after lurking during the last two.

YESSS got mine, I'm watching you... but you will never know!

There are some generous Pinsiders out there. I mean you gotta ask, right?

I did not include a "wish list" but for my SS, just PM me and I'll give you ideas.

Seriously though, look at my PS activity and one can likely find some cool things that really ANYONE would be appreciative of.

Oh and my shopping is almost done!

That WOULD be generous!

For the more budget conscious, I bumped an older topic:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/gift-ideas-in-the-25-50-range

Interesting approach, I did not even think to stalk social media. That said,
My apologies to my Santa, I'm pretty much a Luddite, with a non existent social media presence.

REDACTED

I almost posted something that my recipient could use to track me down.

I'll just say that I too am now finished shopping.

I'm going to re-investigate my person tomorrow, I'm going to go through topics like the car threads, the favorite childhood toy things like that.
I know MY Santa could glean much about me through such topics if they were so inclined...
...Ahem...
Hint hint
Just sayin'

This Tip may be obvious, check previous year SS topics for your recipient to see what they got so as not to duplicate previous gifts.
May not be likely but never know.

I didn't sign up just to get something, I want to see what my elf thinks of what they will get from me!

Now that is an idea!!

It sounds like many of us are just pinheads who don't talk about it on social media.
Sounds like a fine group to me.

And while the results of posting this here will lessen my chances of winning, it is a post worth repeating!

The items for my recipient have started to arrive. He or She should really dig this stuff, I would!

Mmmm, now I have to order ANOTHER item.
Damn
Well at least it's not a bag O' glass

Currently individually wrapping my items, should ship out today or tomorrow.
Sure hope my person posts happy results!

I was going to post in here when I send my gifts out but don't want my person to be able to track that data back... The only thing I will say is the mailing will be from three towns over!

Oh I most certainly will!

Well well, look what Santas little helper delivered today... from a PO box, don't think I can track this Santa down...
I could not wait to open it, oh, a round peg inside a square hole! THANKS.

Do I open this one now?

YEP, I did. and actually, something I totally dig. My stalker, er Santa must have done some homework, they found that TAF is my grail pin and got me an original drawing from the pinvault for the k/o assembly.

This is SO COOL, thank you SS!!!!!!!

I see there has now been a bar set for all future Santas!

ditto !

To follow up my post upon opening my gift, I took home my original pencil drawing of TAF k/o assy. and proudly showed the wife who stated it was the perfect gift.
So to my SS, I will say THANKS AGAIN!

Well I COULD use a new liver!

Some really great looking hauls.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!

Lilu Dallas multipass. Nice!

I predict we will see a lot of that this year!

EXACTLY what I was thinking!

I'm so ready to start the stalking.
Gotta outdo what I did for mine last year.
Already got ideas churning in the ole brain pan!

And... my shopping has already begun.

I'll never tell!

PBL sale for the over achievers who wish to start early even though we won't know our recipients yet...
