Quoted from MC35:If my Santa hasn't bought for me yet and is from Texas, I can't get these in Wisconsin. Just saying...

Quoted from FLASHBALL:Hey at least Wisconsin has cheese. Kansas has.... uhh tornadoes?
Kansas FTW!

Now here's some real Santa stuff!

But those tornadoes will transport you over the rainbow!
My Santee lives many states away from the nearest In-N-Out. Chances are he's never had one. I'm thinking about sending him a couple Double Doubles, but can't quite figure out how to preserve them well enough to last in shipping with dry ice. Perhaps if I disassembled them and ordered them with the sauce on the side.....hmm....this might work... 
PSA: https://www.pirateship.com/ is an easy, usually cheaper way to send your gift 
Quoted from gamer-ace:Finally got everything in, will be shipping this week!
same here.
Quoted from MC35:They are sorta like Carmel puffcorn. My cousin sent them to me. I'm hooked!
They look like Caramel coated Sugar Pops (the cereal). I bet they are tasty. It's strange how different states have different treats that you can't buy in your own state.
Thanks scootss
Additional PSA: Another one that offers discounted shipping is https://goshippo.com/
Been using this one for a few years. Will have to compare the two now.

Quoted from hoby1:Question guys as this is my first year .... what do we put as a return address and where do we post tracking for the package.
LMK I..... "I mean Santa " is ready to ship
I don't put a return address.
I use a friend's return address in another state so it’s sneaky but if the package bounces back It will be retrievable.
Yes...for those uninitiated, don't use your home address. Feel free to use friends, family, businesses....or just something interesting.
Here is Dracula's address:
Strada General Traian Moșoiu 24, Bran 507025, Romania

Or a shirt lol

I think this is solid advice. I guess chances are low, but I'd personally be paranoid about my package bouncing and being returned to Dracula or the North Pole.

Well...I would tell you a secret, but being as "secret Santa" is just that...I can't shout all my tricks from the rooftops.
Quoted from Daditude:Well...I would tell you a secret, but being as "secret Santa" is just that...I can't shout all my tricks from the rooftops.
Is your secret that you're actually Dracula? 
LesManley Can we get key posts about thrifty shipping? Maybe make a new post about pirateship and/or goshippo or maybe other options out there and key it. Might be worth mentioning that you don't have to put your actual name or return address on there either, you can basically do whatever
Quoted from marioparty34:PM me your address, and I will send you some.
I'll take you up on that. Likewise if you stumble across a tasty Wisconsin treat you are looking for.
Quoted from bjab:They look like Caramel coated Sugar Pops (the cereal). I bet they are tasty. It's strange how different states have different treats that you can't buy in your own state.
That's almost what they remind me of. I'm currently trying to think of Wisconsin specific treats people can't get anywhere else. The only thing that comes to mind is Spotted Cow beer and run of the mill cheese.

You think all people eat the same food?! Really not that strange!
Quoted from Dee-Bow:You think all people eat the same food?!
I would really like to try some of your Canadian ketchup chips I've heard about. Since a young age I loved to dip my plain potato chips in ketchup.
Maybe some day I'll get a kanuk for a Santa and they can send me some!

I always read that nobody else has ketchup chips! How can ketchup on potatoes be that strange! 
now Google top ten asain potato chips! Blueberry, cucumber, hot and sour fish soup, lemon tea .. what the heck!

You can find them here in Texas, but they are very rare. You will have to look into specialty stores...or...you know...just dip your chips in ketchup.

Cheese curds. People in other states have no idea what they are. Unfortunately they don't really ship well.

ezgif-5-cdb42f1fde.gifI didn't know that ketchup chips weren't available everywhere. I find them too sweet personally. Rather have dill pickle or salt and vinegar
Quoted from Fezmid:Cheese curds. People in other states have no idea what they are. Unfortunately they don't really ship well.
Some regions here, they top their poutine with ketchup and mayo.. I like the regular poutine just fine!

True they don't ship well unless you pay for expedited temp controlled shipping.
Quoted from Saltimbanco:Cheese curds with Rip-L chips.. or poutine
Some regions here, they top their poutine with ketchup and mayo.. I like the regular poutine just fine!
Love poutine! But not sure I want to try it with ketchup and mayo.... 
Quoted from MC35:Anyone ever have Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer? That's another favorite of mine that I can only get in Pennsylvania. I have actually had multiple cases shipped to me for previous party's
Birch beer in general is a northeast thing. There's a specialty shop here (Blue Sun Soda - and they have pins too! Or did pre-covid, not sure if they still do) that stock it. Maybe not that brand, but their inventory changes a lot.
Quoted from MC35:I'll take you up on that. Likewise if you stumble across a tasty Wisconsin treat you are looking for.
Shipment sent.
I hope you enjoy them!
Just received notice yesterday that all gifts for my recipient have shipped 
I was also surprised to find a box at my doorstep today. Not sure if I’ll be able to wait until Christmas to find out what’s inside! Thanks, Santa!!
Santa’s little helper, Les Manly, told me that I might want to open my gift since something inside may be perishable so I dutifully (and happily!) followed the instructions. No, it was not a Chinchilla but beef jerky- and it is freaking awesome! I also got some excellent tools, T-shirts from Marco, Titan, and the Next Level Pinball Museum (I’ll have to investigate that), stickers from Comet, Titan, St. Regis (Montana) and one for beef jerky as well as some beautiful flyers for my wall, a lock replacement (I need that!) and a non-marring socket for leg bolts. All the gifts are amazing and appreciated very much! Thank you Santa- you rock! Time to eat some more beef jerky and check out the pinball museum. Merry Pinsmas to all!!!

Yes, not what I thought when I read "perishable".
I indeed thought oh no, some thing that could perish.

Now I want a spotted cow beer.

Those shirts are all super cool. Awesome job, Santa.
Quoted from FLASHBALL:Now I want a spotted cow beer.
If I ever head your way I'll make a pit stop!!
My stuff is all ordered I think... but not getting here untying the 6th or 7th. I'll have to make sure I don't delay shipping!
What an awesome day! I got home and saw my Secret Santa Package!
I was going to wait until Xmas, but 25 days is way too long for me. I lasted maybe 25 secs before I tore into it. What awesome and thoughtful gifts. My Santa knows I am a board gamer and got me one of our all time favorites in Ticket to Ride. I also got a cool Pinball Alley street sign, but what really brought a smile to my face was the cool Survivor Shirt from the season I visited the set in Samoa. It brought back so many fond memories. And as a sign of how much my secret Santa "crushed" it, he sent me a bottle of Crush jelly beans.
Thanks Secret Santa!!!!

Nothing like a thoughtful gift. Love it!
Can I just say - I love this thread so much!!!
Can I also say - I am VERY excited to send out the gifts! But, I can’t because here is an example of what I got going on:
I live in PA. One gift I purchased was shipped from TX to me. The tracking says it went from its home office in TX … to Pittsburgh, PA distribution center to …………. Sacramento, CA!
Say what?! Lol.
So, it’ll be just a bit longer. Hahaha.
