<3 lego is so awesome. Reminds me I need to check if the FTL sets got the go ahead.

Anyway for my Secret Santa, I should give them some help

Hopefully that should give you some ideas, it's not a long list but I've grabbed a lot of stuff on my Kindle already which narrowed it down. I already have the Bill Simmons one thanks to an awesome Bore SS past, and the History of the ABA. Books about sport, history or conspiracy type stuff are my favorites. Also local candies are great too, since Australian stuff is pretty dull outside of Tim Tams. Basically anything I can open without my fiance giving me weird looks is fine.

Man, you guys dont even want to wait for Christmas.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #123 on:** November 26, 2013, 01:56:03 PM »

Seriously, at least wait until after Thanksgiving.

Sorry, my seasonal gift giving isn't associated with the hate and indoctrination of your oppressive Christian holidays.

really the holidays are a tough and hectic time for me, so I send it out early for fear that I'll send it out late

Presents are presents and awesome at any time. If you want it to be an xmas gift, you can put it under a tree until xmas. Or just open it right away and enjoy presents!

The Sceneman · « **Reply #126 on:** November 28, 2013, 09:14:03 PM »

Going to be making my main gift tonight, then shop for a couple more trinkets in the next couple of days.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #127 on:** November 30, 2013, 08:39:19 PM »

Got everything ready for my Secret Santa gift, should be going out in the mail early next week.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #128 on:** November 30, 2013, 11:15:23 PM »

Bought all my gifts, just waiting for everything to arrive here so I can draw dicks then package it.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #129 on:** December 01, 2013, 01:31:08 AM »

I have everything in my head. Then I remembered just that I have to actually order and send this shit.

It's pretty fucking good though, I decided against my idea of packaging it like a bomb to fit the theme since it might get held by security when it goes through the x-rays.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #130 on:** December 01, 2013, 10:32:36 AM »

I sent my gifts out, sorry they're lazy santee but they pack alot of punch

Did you just spoil your giftee's identity?

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #135 on:** December 01, 2013, 02:01:48 PM »

Amazon's gift wrap options are a racket. $3.50 to wrap each item? Why not wrap them together?

Gonna go local on this one and do it myself.

What local things would anyone want from NYC that they can't get anywhere else? Trying not to just get my giftee items from their wishlist.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #138 on:** December 02, 2013, 03:39:08 PM »

Amazon is just fucking with me, I'm waiting for two items and they went ahead and shipped them smart post when I selected 2 day shipping. I've only got a few more days before my personal deadline to get this shit out the door and on its way.

I can't think of much. There's a ton of local food stuff I can buy in Brooklyn probably some crafts or something similar, but i dunno if my giftee would be into all that.

Beer. I'm probably not your victim, but I'd love some cans of Sixpoint beer.

Sent off my Secret Santa package a few minutes ago.

My gift is ordered and shipped, should be there Friday or Saturday.

Sent! I mushroom stamped one of the items in the package—if you have a keen nose, you may be able to sniff out which! Enjoy!

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #144 on:** December 04, 2013, 09:59:38 PM »

Finally got all my stuff. Only thing left is to grab a bunch of crap from the pantry and a used jock, and then I'm all set.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #145 on:** December 04, 2013, 10:35:56 PM »

There will be no dick waving over what you paid and how awesome your gifts are. Everyone here has big penises and use them very well.

Except Bz. He's awful. Pig.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #164 on:** December 07, 2013, 01:46:22 PM »

I just got my SS gifts! (Apparently it was sitting in the leasing office since yesterday)

I got a few things I always wanted (TWEWY

) and then some other awesome things that I happen to love, including my very own Santa's (signed) book.

What's funny is that I'm literally going to use the layout book today to design my final process book.

Went to USPS last night and waited nearly 2 hours to get some stuff I needed. They stayed open till 9pm to make sure to get everyone's gifts out, I was shocked. I'm still waiting on USPS smartpost aka the slowest thing since the advent of modern logistical delivery systems. Oh well I just sit here with my wrapping table ready to wrap stuff up. I'm kinda getting discouraged at this year and my lack of finding anything truly awesome. I think that just says more about how I'm feeling about the holidays in general this year. Which is to say I'm pretty depressed about this years holidays for whatever reason.

I can confirm a package was delivered on Thursday that I did not order, it has been put on lockdown by the missus till Xmas.

Alrighty. Just sent out my gifts. It's via Amazon and gift wrapped from them because I'm lazy.

And I just noticed it screwed up the text on my gift cards because one of the characters I used isn't standard... whatevs!

Should arrive later this week.

Eric P · « **Reply #177 on:** December 10, 2013, 06:46:20 PM »

I got my package today.

A sperged out hobbyist board game based on Sherlock Holmes

How spergy?

10 included modules (cases) 10 double sided newspapers, a map of london, a many many page directory which lists all of the people you can potentially meet in the cases and their addresses for cross referencing for the map and the rulebook. I can't wait to set this up and have my girlfriend roll her eyes at me.
