Quoted from Mtg381:

I had a delivery Wednesday 11/18. Through the window I could see that it was another pair of shoes that my wife ordered, but there was something else on the porch... A very familiar brown shipping tube was behind the shoes. I was puzzled to say the least, but I quickly realized it was what I suspected when I saw the shipping tape on the ends of the tube. At first, I thought I must've placed a drunk order(but i never do that!). I then emailed the owner saying there's been a mistake, but he said: No that is correct as someone ordered those for you for a gift.
I'm absolutely FLOORED by the generosity! Needless to say, I'll be passing along more than planned to my recipient. THANK YOU, Secret Santa!! Here is a pic of my NEW NEO Pin Stadium Lights installed on AIQ!!

Quoted from acitti:

I received a small box today with some BIG GIFTS INSIDE!!
My wife and I were at the hospital most of last week having our first baby. During the down time I ordered a bunch of parts for the Whirlwind restoration that I will be starting soon. I have received several packages in the last few days. Today I opened up a small box I received and thought to myself “I did not order these . . .” And then it hit me, it was my Secret Santa gift.
Inside the box was:
Stern spike power splitter adapter
Iron Maiden Pinball Illuminated Cannon Mod
Iron Maiden Pinball Illuminated Plane Mod
These are going to look amazing on my Iron Maiden LE machine. The plane and cannon both have so much detail, very cool mods. I am once again blown away by the generosity of the good people on this site. Thank you very much Secret Santa for the gifts and John for organizing this exchange again this year.

Quoted from grantopia:

Whoa! I posted yesterday not realizing there was a whole second wave of gifts coming! Several things arrived today: an amazing Dirty Donny book, the Art of Atari book, and some feline and human cat nip! This was extra awesome because it was totally unexpected and came after a long work day! Here is one of our three cats (Zelda) showing her appreciation. Thanks (again) Santa - very generous and much appreciated by both humans and felines alike this year!

Quoted from BubbaBeast:

I came home to a huge box from my SS, and thinking there might be some wrapped gifts inside to put under the tree, I cracked it open. Well, nothing was wrapped, so there was no turning back. Pinside Secret Santa has never disappointed, but wow, this year he was ridiculously generous!
Either Santa works at Pinball Photos, or he raided the warehouse and grabbed all of the best stuff. First, was a huge, really comfortable blanket (my wife says it is a “plush, Sherpa throw” ) with a very cool picture of a pinball and bumper.

Next, was an epic pinball shower curtain, that is going to be perfect for our mancave bathroom.

Two pinball placemats, for a date night meal watching the TWIPY’s.

A sweet night light for the kid’s rooms, and a set of some really high quality pinball coasters (wrapped in some great twilight zone paper).

This was way more than I ever expected and incredibly generous. A sincere thank you to my secret Santa for going above and beyond.

Quoted from TiltDis:

First year of secret Santa and was not disappointed! I didn't really ask for anything specific on my list, so I was very happy to receive the surprise of the Dirty Donny hardcover book, a Marco t-shirt, and of course... Toilet paper! Thank you secret Santa!!

Quoted from JRBBRJ:

Gifts officially sent. I went with ups this year. Should arrive before next weekend. Hope they like it. I would be stoked to receive it.

Quoted from Asylum:

Package came today... wow. My SS hit it out of the park. Seriously, my SS is a very thoughtful and generous individual and I am lucky to have had him/her as my SS. Very thought out letter with info for each of the 4 gift's.
Gift number 1 - Old Bay... who doesn't love Old Bay? Little shake on a Bloody Mary, excellent on salmon or any fish for that matter. Great start to the gifts!
How do I describe gift number 2 - the Berger's cookies... I can't find the words. I actually opened them and the wife and I ate one before we went to gift 3. Hand made fudge covered cookie - holy moly these are the bomb. I am currently not diabetic, but maybe after I eat these cookies...
Gift number 3 - I spent a few years in PA and absolutely love Utz potato chips. As my SS mentions on the page for that gift, they ship Utz chips around the country to friends and family. I actually have family that sends me the chips as well!
Gift number 4 - knocked me for a loop - the time spent to stalk me is absolutely commendable! To my pinsider brother that helped my SS, well done. More than generous gift in a Brian Allen Monster Bash Translite!!!
I know it's redundant, but I cant say it enough - wow and thank you SS![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from BlueIrocGuy:

Yay! My secret Santa gift arrived today as well. Should I save it for Christmas or open it sooner? Will have to think about it for a bit....

Quoted from SKWilson:

I found the pretzels near me today. They're good, but they're not blowing my mind.

In the interest of science, I must inquire.... Is Dots better than Snyder’s?
