You're always drunk when I see you so I wouldn't be surprised if you forgot
I just packed up my gift to ship and did a comparison between Shippo and PirateShip. Same rates, so use whichever you prefer. Both cheaper and easier than taking it to USPS/UPS.
Slight edge to PirateShip because of the UI/order flow.

Gotta be to deal with you!
Quoted from scootss:Both cheaper and easier than taking it to USPS/UPS.
We just took 36 boxes to the post office. No line. All went smoothly .
Quoted from freeplay3:Got a couple wall hangers. This is perfect because I have a lot of empty wall space.

Thankyou Secret Santa
I want that Robitnik on a disc golf disc!
Quoted from Kkoss24:My little helper thought it would be fun posting a hint in a puzzle ,as they’re both part of the gift .
[quoted image]
Fries, onion ring, and a tootsie roll?
Quoted from Kkoss24:What the heck ,let’s throw another hint in the mix .
[quoted image]
Okay, I’ll bite.
A really tall bubble tea?
Quoted from PinPickle:I believe Kkoss24 will tell. In time.
Depends on how many drinks I have .Working early so not tonight
Quoted from biglaw:Ok got the better of me. Thanks secret santa you did awesome job.
Novus 1,2,3 micro towels, solder, leg bolt non scratch socket . Needed all. Haven't seen the socket before that's neat. Thanks again
[quoted image]
I have one of those and it's an absolute life-saver for powdercoated bolts. The one time I used a regular socket on powdercoated bolts, it chipped right off.
Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:I have one of those and it's an absolute life-saver for powdercoated bolts. The one time I used a regular socket on powdercoated bolts, it chipped right off.
I just got one myself .My first powder coat job is in with Hemi right now .Had to go chrome bolts and it seems this is a must either way .
I bought a lot of stuff but have only received one item so far. I may have to expedite shipping to make sure my recipient gets everything before christmas.
Quoted from Kkoss24:What the heck ,let’s throw another hint in the mix .

Quoted from Atari_Daze:Its true! I ran over some with the forklift the other day, I haven't laughed like that in a while.

Still counts.
Quoted from TroyS:Sure this will be a big shipping weekend. Might sent my SS a second bonus box! No one would think a second is coming.
No one expects the Spanish inquisition!

I sent 3 last year
Quoted from midcoastsurf:Wahooo. Thanks Secret Santa! Will be opening this on Christmas Day.

“open carefully from this side “ is always a good sign .I wouldn’t be able to wait on that one

So maybe I wait until 12/25 to post pics? Lol

This look like it could be some nice pet as a gift..? Araneus marmoreus, e.g. bright orange spider! Same color pattern on those legs, easier to take care than a chinchilla and way quieter!
Disclaimer: the only spider my gf tolerates in the house is Stern's Spider Man! Lol She even has some issues with Spider Multiball on Mando..
If someone gets his wife four charms for her charm bracelet, all from the same store, does it count as one gift or four?
Same question, but each charm is wrapped in its own box.
— Asking for a friend.
All my gifts arrived and are packed for shipping so the snacks are safe from me at least.Now to hope the post office doesn't lose it and the chinchilla eats them before it arrives.
Well, I managed to wait an entire three days before my anticipation got the better of me. I opened Santa's package today, and I must have been on the nice list because he was INCREDIBLY generous!
Santa sent a huge box labeled fragile (must be Italian? ) and containing another box with "Howdy Partner".

Upon opening this box, I found personalized instructions for a one-of-a-kind Cactus Canyon Secret Santa Bart topper!! Pictures do not do this justice. The topper lights up, and Bart even draws his guns in several different animations! To match the topper, Santa also provided a custom barrel pingulp! The level of detail on these gifts is absolutely incredible, and I'm so blown away by Santa's generosity.

And the gifts didn't even end there. Santa very thoughtfully sent us three bags of Dots pretzels, an awesome LED Las Vegas ornament, and goodies for my daughter due in February.

Mrsiyufy - Thank you so much for these wonderful gifts. I'm really struggling to put into words just how much this means to me (and my wife ). You went way above and beyond in blessing us this holiday season. It's definitely inspired me even more to pass it forward to others the best I can! And if you ever find yourself out here in the midwest (maybe at a future Chicago Pinball Expo?), your drinks are on my tab at the saloon. We wish you and your family the best, and hope you have a spectucular Christmas and holiday season!

Can your secret Santa PM me? I feel like we need a 2 of 2 or slightly modified version
