RubixsQube Posted December 9, 2014 (I'm also a little busy, and I'm in the middle of a big snow storm which has made it hard to travel places for various items, so I'm hoping to send this out over the weekend!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted December 9, 2014 I went shopping over the weekend, but ended up not being able to find the one particular thing I had in mind (isn't that the way it always works?). I'll figure out something else this week, for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N1njaSquirrel Posted December 9, 2014 I got half my present today, need to go out again to get the other half! Gah! I can't believe I just saw this Is there anyway I can still join? I guess there is always next year. Sadly not. All the giftees have been sorted out! If you guys'll let me sort it out next year too, I'll be sure to make it more visible or something! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=aKAxikZmY-0#t=92 You know I'd always pushed that film aside because it has kinda been sullied by the fan-base and Tim Burton, but watching that clip reminds me how god damn that movie is fucking good. It is also great because it capitalises on two big holidays relatively close to each other, so there is like a 3 month + window where it's totally appropriate to broadcast that film. If it's general excellence isn't enough of an excuse. Just a quick reminder - for England, the advised last shipping day for international shipping to ensure that your present arrives in time for Christmas is this weekend. (13th).

Dewar Posted December 10, 2014 Time to commence internet stalking, and by that I mean reading every forum post going back however many years to see if I can glean any juicy details. I just wanted to confirm since there was some discussion earlier in the thread, we settled on $20-$25, correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted December 10, 2014 That's the price assumption under which I've been working! I have part one of my gift on the way (to me, after which I will deliver it to this person). The other part of the gift is still up in the air, but I'm pretty sure I know exactly what it'll be. Nobody would expect it because I'm the only person in the world who has any affection for it.

Yeah, though postage alone being over 25 USD, that would make for a terrible, empty box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettyunsmart Posted December 10, 2014 Yeah, though postage alone being over 25 USD, that would make for a terrible, empty box. I just assumed the gift was $25, and then shipping was whatever it cost on top of that. Hope that's ok. Anyway, mine is on the way, and should arrive by the end of the week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted December 14, 2014 Just shipped mine. It's going to be a weird one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted December 14, 2014 I got my gift in the mail today! I'll open it on ECKSMAS MORNING AS IS APPROPRIATE. I'll be shipping mine on Monday. I HOPE IT'S COOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dewar Posted December 15, 2014 Due to a long period of sickness, I just now finished shopping and the last item won't arrive until Wednesday, which means shipping on Thursday, which might just miss Christmas. I'm sorry in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted December 15, 2014 By the way, are matches reciprocal or random on both ends? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted December 15, 2014 I hope it's a big huge ring of gifts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted December 16, 2014 I have bad news. ): I had to deal with a whackload of a personal issue today so I was unable to mail off my gift. I'm going to try to do it while I'm out of town for said personal issue this week, but it'll almost certainly end up arriving after Christmas. I'm the worst. I'm sorry my secret person. ): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N1njaSquirrel Posted December 16, 2014 It's a huuge ring of gifts. I did try to make it reciprocal but I figured it'd be easier to organise as well as more fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted December 16, 2014 Mine is taken care of, though it will almost certainly be late due to international shipping. Plan A fell through because I couldn't find what I wanted. Plan B was untenable, as it made shipping way out of the budget I had planned. Finally fell back on Plan C, which I hope my giftee is happy with (I would be happy with it, but it's not as cool as plans A or B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubixsQube Posted December 16, 2014 My gift will go out by the end of the week! I'm sorry! It's going to be pretty goofy, but TOTALLY COOL / I WISH I HAD IT FOR MYSELF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwardinen Posted December 17, 2014 I received a parcel today that looks very much like an Idle Santa package, so my Santa is very on the ball! I will not open it yet, but I am excited to. Unfortunately I've been out of the country so I haven't managed to get mine sorted out yet, but since my victim target recipient is also in the UK I'm hopeful it'll still get there by Christmas.

castorp Posted December 17, 2014 It took me too long to get all my gifts together, so the package kind-of-probably won't make it in time for Christmas, I'm sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettyunsmart Posted December 17, 2014 Is the general feeling that we should wait to open until actual Christmas? I haven't gotten anything just yet, but I'll be travelling, so I'm tempted to open it if it gets here before I leave for the holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted December 17, 2014 I sent mine out yesterday! Managed to find some free time between funeral preparations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
