Went on a spontaneous trip up to San Francisco today cause I was frustrated, cause I couldn't find anything for my tiny tim locally. Ended up buying stuff for all 3 of my tiny tims. Now I have to wrap it all up and send it off. I hope people get my sense of humor, however dry and unfunny it might be.

Got the salary yesterday... now I can buy my gifts mwhahahahahahaha...

Won't get mine for a few days.

But then, buying time.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #123 on:** November 29, 2012, 02:50:43 PM »

I've purchased one thing so far for a total of 99 cents. I need to get in gear and finish this up. Good thing my person is from the states, not as much pressure on shipping early.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #124 on:** November 29, 2012, 03:08:31 PM »

Wowsa $141 for international shipping, I did not think this through at all... I'm gonna break it down to multiple boxes and hope to get a cheaper quote.

Gundam your's should be a quick 2 days via UPS and possibly 3 days with USPS. You've got a lot of time so don't fret.

Wrapped my presents and will have them off this monday hopefully when the parcel service opens up again

pilonv1 · « **Reply #127 on:** November 29, 2012, 06:11:46 PM »

Need to sort mine out too, I'm trying to organise them to hit at the same time but I don't think it will happen.

tiesto · « **Reply #128 on:** November 29, 2012, 10:17:57 PM »

Got my gifts shipped to me from Amazon today... will wrap this weekend and hopefully send them out early next week.

You have no clue who it is. I went to UPS and USPS and put in both addresses to give him a time frame of how long it will take to get to his person. Sorry if that's spoiling something. I'm just trying to be helpful.

Hey why do you get to comment when you didn't even participate?

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #131 on:** November 30, 2012, 05:47:48 AM »

Someone is so gonna get some of this stuff!

i realized after sending it that i fucked up the "secret" part by including my real name and address on the return label

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #134 on:** December 03, 2012, 02:53:31 PM »

lmao I just realized I did the same thing since my name was my username here for a while also

:'( :'(

brawndolicious · « **Reply #135 on:** December 03, 2012, 05:22:08 PM »

Just ordered. The person requested something local but I couldn't think of anything that would fit their tastes. It's going to a PO box on the east coast and should arrive by tomorrow.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #139 on:** December 04, 2012, 06:48:41 AM »

sorry, it's a po box so I wanted to give him a heads up when to check it. And I thought it was only supposed to be a secret until the person gets it.

Well guess what? I checked my mail anyway, and do you know what I found?

Probably not, because as it turns out, you weren't my secret Santa. Thanks for the movie, Bebpo! I'm putting it in my BR player right now!

Man I'm usually good with picking gifts out but I just drew a complete blank this time. $:-\$ So I went with the Amazon list provided.

They said it should arrive next week, so uh, enjoy your stuff person-who-was-chosen-for-me-and-who-thankfully-has-an-Amazon-list!

Purchased everything today, will get it shipped out this week.

Groogrux · « **Reply #147 on:** December 10, 2012, 08:44:35 AM »

Got another gift from my SS!

(Not my photo, obviously)

This might be one of the coolest coffee mugs that I've ever had! Thanks Bebpo!

tiesto · « **Reply #148 on:** December 10, 2012, 10:10:58 AM »

Wrapped my gifts last night, and heading over to the PO during my lunch break... hopefully they will get them soon...

pilonv1 · « **Reply #149 on:** December 10, 2012, 05:40:41 PM »

Finally sent my stuff off today. Hope it makes it in time...

Groogrux · « **Reply #150 on:** December 10, 2012, 07:02:33 PM »

Just placed the order for my SS's stuff. They should get it between the 17th and the 20th!

I hope they like it!

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #151 on:** December 10, 2012, 09:13:46 PM »

Everything is now shipped!

To all of my santa's I hope you enjoy your gifts. Expect them through USPS around 12/13.

$95.36 for shipping that's a new record. I hope to god I filled out all the forms properly.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #152 on:** December 11, 2012, 05:54:26 PM »

Got almost everything together for my package today, just finishing something up and then sending it out. Hoping it gets there before Christmas, but I was drawing a lot of blanks with this person. Hopefully it lives up to expectations.

Also, apparently my incoming gift was supposed to have been delivered a week ago, and the Post Office didn't leave a door notice for me, and has now lost the package.

Gonna go back tomorrow and try to get it all lined out.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #153 on:** December 11, 2012, 06:59:32 PM »

My shipping was $41 this year, ridiculous. It's worth it though!

Ooooooooooooooooh snap! Went to the post office and lined everything out, and look what they had waiting for me!

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #161 on:** December 12, 2012, 07:34:57 PM »

I guess my gift was supposed to get here today in the mail, but didn't show up. No big deal, everything is slow during the holiday season.

Groogrux · « **Reply #162 on:** December 12, 2012, 10:04:34 PM »

I got another part of my SS gift yesterday in the mail!

It's a super nice 32" Borderlands 2 print!

Here's a pic I found of it on the net:

Thanks Bebpo! I've got to go find a frame for it now!

You should open it up and show us what was inside. I too am anxious!

Oh you!

So from internet detectiving I think this was you G, right?

Apologies if mistaken.

The Thomas the Tank Engine wrapping paper goes really well with my pillowcase, good choice.

Unwrapped!

I literally laughed out loud when I saw the glasses.

So many useful IRL applications but I doubt anyone would get the reference. :'(

Are you trying to make me (more of?) a weeaboo?

Biggest highlight for me is the SNES Classic Controller, I've been meaning to get one foreeeeeeeeeever since playing SMW and LttP VC isn't the same with the CC Pro. This is absolutely perfect. Now, if I could just fix my Wii so I can transfer the stuff to me Wii U, we'll be good...

Legitimately nice card design and awesome Nintendo funland bucks cards. (Although Wii U has no games so what could I spend them on? Amirite fellas?)

This has incredibly brightened my day week in a way I wouldn't think.

Thank you secret Santa who may or may not be G.

Now I feel worse about just using Amazon and not doing any kind of real personal touches.

Next year I'll definitely do better.

You would be most correct sir! I had no idea of your personal tastes so I did some snooping of my own and tried to come up with something personal. I was originally only going to include the wii card, but thought since you also have a 3ds/WiiU that you could use that too!

I wanted to get you a USB controller but thought since you already were invested into the VC games that you'd appreciate having an authentic experience with them.

And please for the love of god let me know how those chips are. That or victimize someone's taste buds for me. And make them wear the shades! :p

spoiler (click to show/hide)

As per you using Amazon, please don't feel bad. I feel bad after seeing that and I felt what I had sent you was inadequate. So If you get something else from me or someone else don't be surprised!

Tasty · « **Reply #168 on:** December 13, 2012, 12:29:36 AM »

Yeah the eShop card is awesome! Think I might get some 3DS games I'm lacking like Push/Crashmo.

And the controller is awesome. I thought it was too much to hope for concave Y/X buttons but they're there.

L/R are a bit squishy but they're not really necessary for my SNES games.

I dunno about the chips, I'll try them but I can't guarantee I'll eat the whole bag.

Hopefully my roommate will help out if that's the case.

Groogrux · « **Reply #171 on:** December 13, 2012, 10:42:33 AM »

That's one of the things I like about doing this though, it gives us a good chance to get to know other Boritos that we might normally never converse with.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #172 on:** December 13, 2012, 01:05:16 PM »

It was a lot of fun trying to learn about some of you. And even more fun to shop for some of you. I'd most definitely do this again next year as I had an absolute blast.

I hope the "special" book turned out okay. They were supposed to customize it for you so that it would blend in with your office, then they sent me an email saying they couldn't do that through their Amazon store. If it doesn't work, let me know and I can work something out to get you one that will blend in.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #179 on:** December 14, 2012, 12:34:28 PM »

So... it seems like Bebpo had Groogrux and Groogrux had Bebpo... is that how it works for everyone? Kinda takes some of the surprise out of it.
