I didn't sign up just to get something, I want to see what my elf thinks of what they will get from me!
The first year my secret santa recipient posted a bunch of photos and talked about how cool the stuff was. I was pumped that he liked it so much.
Last year I spent even more time on the package; wrapping things individually, putting cool stuff all over the box, picked out some things that I thought they would really enjoy and so on. I then spent weeks waiting in the Secret Santa thread for them to post what they thought but they never did, up until the day the thread stopped getting replies I would get excited when I saw the green "new post" thread indicator thinking that maybe this would be the recipients post.
Hopefully this year my recipient posts about what they got, it really completes the whole event!
