Quoted from swinks:curious on the pinsider list Secret Santa and Secret Santa 2 - they don't come up in the search - feel for the people that have to buy for them
Those are just two people that wanted to be anonymous to the group. The people that got them for their real usernames.
Man! I have ordered my gift last week, it was shipped 21st of the month. Even today it remains in the same status. It's like it wasn't move at all these days. I knew that the lockdown will cause delays but nothing like that. If the delivery status doesn't change soon I will have to come up with a different gift.
Quoted from 2Kaulitz:Thanks Secret Santa this Stranger Things Pinball banner is awesome
[quoted image]
Great colors on that banner.
Woo yeah! I'm done! But according to Santa's list, my santee is under the 'nice' column! I'll probably look into all those great deals today!
Quoted from pacmanretro:Santa came by my place today!!!
Didn't open box yet.
Thank you in advance santa!!

That’s a lot of chinchillas
I was excited because the mailman dropped off two packages!!!!
Then I realized they were both things I ordered for MY target. Lol
Quoted from northvibe:That’s a lot of chinchillas
Yup, feels about right looking at the size and shape of that box! Could be a live hamster in there, they do hibernate!

Shopping done! But still looking for small stuff.. I give myself the week-end to add something to the package, and will ship early next week.

Is anyone else concerned about the black 'thing' on the box? 
Quoted from jellikit:Is anyone else concerned about the black 'thing' on the box?
It originally had a disguise on, and that concerned me. So I removed it, but was left with nothing (or is that a different thread...).
Effect_20201128_095853 (resized).jpgTook this note out of packing slip envelope last night! 
I plan on making this a slow process, because it's hard for me to do, but will be worth it!
I'll open box later today, but will behave on opening items 
I don't care if each day of Christmas is a single tootsie roll (or probably that coal), I'm mega excited and thankful for the effort and fun!!

Someone did this last year and it was really fun to follow. Enjoy it!
Nice.
Thought about the 12 days thing, but my recipient has been part of this game before and I was afraid of doubling up on the little stuff like keychain Plastics and small Tools and such...
Again, many thanks to LesManley for keeping this tradition.
Quoted from pacmanretro:Took this note out of packing slip envelope last night!
That is fun to watch. I enjoyed seeing the one last year.
LTG : )
Got my gift in already.
Had a super fast Santa.
Edit. More items have arrived. Now up to 3 from my SS. 
Nice surprise. Did not expect more then one gift.
Gifts ordered, looks like should all be in by the end of the week...
Then the repack and turnaround!
Good times!
Got my gift today. I had to open because the box is crushed. Got an AC/DC playfield wall hanger; Purple Apron for my Ghostbusters; Game of Thrones Stern poster & Game Exchange T-Shirt, Thank you Secret Santa!!

Wow nice job SS!
Seems like a good year for Stern Banners. They do look pretty great on the walls. Some awesome gifts so far. Keep it coming!

They are great wall decorations. Translites, BGs, and PFs are also nice. They tend to be awesome conversation starters.

Oh my goodness the bar is getting set too high
I now feel sorry for my recipient. I hope they dont use this thread hahaaha
Opened my shipping box to peek at the santa packages. 
Everything is wrapped different and so beautifully!! It will certainly put my wrapping to shame. Lol
OHH the temptation!
Each item has a number of 1-12 and looks like a note/hint on each one! It's really hard to not sneak a peek at each hint right away
So, I want to be patient, but I'm not sure yet how I want to stagger my thrills. I've never done a true 12 days of Christmas, where you don't start until the 25th...not sure I can hold out that long.
So, in lieu of that, I'm thinking one of two ways...
1) I wait till 13-14th (to end on either Christmas eve or day) and open one every day till Christmas.
2) I start on the 2nd-3rd (to end either Christmas eve or day) and open one every other day. To force myself to wait eagerly all month to get through them all.
What do you guys think??

First of all,that's awesome, I kind of feel like a heel for how I did mine now. I would go with option two ,if I Were Me.
Option 2 is more fun for us, I think...
and glad to see there are other anal retentive wrappers / packagers here.

If I recall, this happened last year also!
Quoted from Daditude:How much food do you ship a chinchilla with?
Asking for a friend.
Is that the Bengals mascot?
I would have loved to partake in this, but the insane shipping costs to and from Norway unfortunately effectively stopped me..
Quoted from mtn-:I would have loved to partake in this, but the insane shipping costs to and from Norway unfortunately effectively stopped me..
I think the op would have found you a match locallyish (europe) I know the Canadian Secret Santa's get other Canadians to avoid costly shipping to the States. The Aussies probably get each other, etc.
I shipped my package off for just over $20 to my secret Santee and we're a couple thousand kms away
Thank you Secret Santa! You certainly know the way to my heart is through my stomach. This box stuffed full of goodies looks incredible, and lots of delicious things I've never had (or even seen for that matter). Note said another package was coming, but I can't imagine what could add any more to my delight!

Quoted from dc2010:Is that the Bengals mascot?
Yes. It is in remembrance of of Terry Ritchie (who-dey). It was his avatar.
