Secret Santa exchange

Make sure your address on your Elfster account is accurate so your SS can send you your gift.  Or, if you're like me and don't really want to put that private information on such an easily hackable website (the password is password!), you can send the person who drew you a message with it.  There's an option to do so on the lefthand side of the screen when you're looking at the gift exchange feed.

Re: Secret Santa exchange

  • Be careful giving out your address. They rapin' errybody out here.
  • Dear Secret Santa Recipient,

    Your gift might be really really late.  I have most of it, but there's one thing I have to go to a store for and can't get on the internets and I hate shopping this time of year, so I'm procrastinting at your expense.  But it will be worth the wait.  I hope.  Then again, the guilt that I have just writing this will probably motivate me to get the thing I need to get.

  • Groomz, I don't think anything in my mind can top those wings you made me. You could take that as a dare or as a critique. You choose.

    But yeah, I am kind of in the same boat.

    I did use alchemy for part of my gift. I am shocked no one asked why I was requesting them to make such an odd thing, not even the person who eventually made it. They could possibly think I am crazy and were afraid to ask.

  • I know what most people are getting and am willing to spill the details to those willing to bribe me.

  • Dear my SS,

    I am waiting for delivery of possibly the most awesomely disturbing thing I've ever purchased, it should be right up your alley.  It's a small part of the gift, but I think it will add a special little something to it. As soon as it arrives I will send it your way (hopefully soon).

  • I am always shocked we don't have duplicate presents.

  • Disturbing mashed? This sounds interesting.

     

    I am actually making something that could cross the line. I worry that this person's husband will see the gift and tell them to never talk to us again.

  • I'm kicking myself for missing it.  Cali, you should send me a list of who is getting what to make me feel better.  I'll send you cookies in return.
  • Vicki has an unfair advantage!!!
  • You know I'd kill my own grandma for Vicki cookies.  I'll send you a list right away.

  • I had an encounter with a stupid, biitchy Etsy seller and she *just* sent part of my gift. I hope to get it by Friday so I can send it out then!

  • My SS recipient better be okay with a really generic gift.  I'm going to be including some other cute stuff (assuming my stupid orders ever arrive), but the bread and butter of the gift is somewhat boring though useful.

    So, SS recipient, I apologize in advance if you wanted a really unique and totally awesomely useless gift.

  • I had something special made on etsy as well, and it's not entirely what I wanted. They moved on of the elements in my design when they printed it. Nobody else will even notice, but it's bugging me. I feel like I fail at elfster this year. Mine's all ready to go. I just need to get motivated to go to the post office.

  • Both my grandmothers are already dead. Can I have some cookies too?

    image

  • Unlike you other losers, I actually ordered and am paying for Vicki cookies for Christmas
  • I had something pretty raunchy picked out for one of my gifts but dialed it back to something tamer at the last minute.  I feel shame.
    image
  • I'm a dolt who should have ordered Vicki cookies for myself.  It's been too long.

    "That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
  • Don't worry, nobody is getting cookies (except Winged, cause she ordered some), because Cali is really bad at bribes.  

  • Is there a deadline?  When do I start getting to see the stuff?

     

    image
  • The deadline is December 15th.  I didn't specify if that meant for gifts to be received by or sent by though.  And most of us are always late sending our stuff out anyway.  So hopefully people will be sharing pictures of their gifts (descriptions are not enough!) by the end of next week.

  • I'm totally on top of this business.My person should be getting their gifts by the end of this week.

    Although I sent them direct, so they won't be all wrapped and pretty. 

  • Mine might not be super exciting or funny (though I do still think/hope my person will like what they get), it was DONE and shipped as of Monday.  That's really the most important part, right?  Being first.
    image
  • I sent mine out yesterday too.  I'm also way intimidated about the level of debauchery I was supposed to go to.

  • Damn overachieving newbies are throwing off the curve.

    "That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
  • I may be throwing off the late-ness curve, but I will be an epic fail in the funny/raunchy category. All of my gifts are practical and/or somewhat cutesy.
  • Don't worry Cali, I'm a newb helping the curb.  I'm waiting on shipments from two different Etsy sellers (supposedly they shipped at the end of last week, but I still don't have anything today).  I'm just hoping it gets to my SS recipient by new years.

  • So, do we share as soon as it comes or wait for a mass reveal? I vote immediately.
    image
  • I vote immediately too. A, it will be fun because people can share pictures (OR VIDEO) at the peak of their excitement. Plus, once I get my gift, there's no way I'll be sitting around waiting for a reveal, I will want and come and scream about it right.meow.
  • By the power vested in me by Groomz making me the ruler of the Caribbean, I declare we shall share immediately.  No waiting.
