Fudge. I believe I included my name in the note on their box. Dang! I wish I was kidding.
are we not supposed to? Glad I haven't shipped yet
According to the description we are not supposed to. That is why there will be a reveal thread.
I got caught up in the fun... mine has been shipped a few days ago.
Direct quote from my SS pm: **Please add a note with your gift informing the recipient it is their secret santa package. You can add your NA name if you like**
I made a list of games to look for, and I'm going to make the rounds this weekend to pick some up. My person had some great games on their list, and I can't wait to be able to share some with them!
I just need to print out a label and send it off...really should do that now so it gets to them in time, but I have till the 15th...so I'm lazy haha. Hopefully he likes his stuff...his message wasn't really that descriptive and left me with like no options, so I really hope he likes what I got for him.

Phew! Disaster avoided!
You're just not supposed to reveal yourself ahead of time, as in the first year I was here and the guy that had me PMed me right after he got my list and asked me if I already had such-and-such.
Got a few things for my person off eBay. Got it shipped to the boarder and my brother picked it up today. Gonna wrap it and send her out Monday.
My secret Santa must actually be Santa because I already received my gift! Got my wife to open it to see if it was wrapped. It wasn't so she is going to wrap it for me and I won't open it until Christmas. Tho I was so tempted to open it the other day until my 5 year old daughter told me I couldn't because it wasn't Christmas yet.

haha smart kid. Very nice of your wife to wrap it up for you, I'm not sure I'd have the restraint to not see what it was
Going good so far. My person had a pretty short list so I just ordered the games for them the next day and I've had them ready to go for a while. Right now I'm just adding a bunch of extra goodies to the package. Candy canes, chocolates, and other Christmasy treats (I'm on the fence about whether or not I should just throw a summer sausage and some cheese in with it.) I'm also making them some perler bead sprite ornaments. I gotta make a card too. I gotta get some construction paper.
i know I wasn't easy to shop for and neither was my person but hopefully they don't already have the little hidden gem I found for them
i addressed mine "from secret santa" so hopefully that's enough lol, there is something inside with my signature on it but if they can read that and know it's me I would be amazed lol
Had to get a bit crafty for my SS this year, and now I'm addicted to a new hobby...great. Well, only one thing left to do and it's all off to the post office.
This awesome custom wrap job ships out tomorrow! "My person" should be pretty stoked with the goodies inside this box! My person did a good job putting their wishlist together, giving me a wide range of options and made him/her easy to shop for. I am glad I signed up to participate in the NA Secret Santa, I had a blast putting the gift together and I can't wait for my person to get it! (Maybe next year we could have a contest on the best gift wraping. I bet NA members could really put together some amazing gift wraps.)

Dude that wrapping paper is sick! Whoever gets this is one lucky dude or dudette!
I'm still waiting on one thing from ebay for my SS unfortunately. My gifts are themed, which is the first time I've done that. I think they'll like my gifts and the theme. One of the things is pretty clever. It combines a couple of things my SS likes. That part of the gift worked out really nicely. Can't wait to get my stuff from my SS. I absolutely LOVE this part of NA! I hope everytone likes their gifts!

Are you serious dude? That is insane! I dont know if id be able to open that - i feel like i would just keep it under the tree every year so people could be jealous.
Wow you guys go all out! This is my first year participating. I hope I don't disappoint. Still have time to do some more shopping at least. I have the main gift already but I want at least 1 other item to complement it.
I am ready to ship this upcoming week, and I really hope my giftee likes the goodies I found (went mostly local with my purchases, with one exception). I also got a little bit crafty, as art is a longtime hobby of mine.
After some runs to local game stores that went dry (It's bad when you don't even have a copy of SMB/Duck Hunt), I decided to just go to Ebay. It was actually a lot fun to my surprise, and I got something that I hope my recipient will really like. I still want to find something to complement it, maybe something Christmasy.

I think I need to just pick up a little something more at the local store. They usually have stuff that my guy likes

Holy moly my ss knocked it out of the park!
Man, mine absolutely killed it too, bigtime.

Still waiting on the games I bought through NA for my ss. 2 more days and it'll be 2 weeks waiting.
Eeh, might want to send them a friendly reminder and explain to them the time constraints. Some people are pretty slow shippers here.

Thanks, just did. He hasn't been on NA for a week now though.
Oh well, got a gift going to a member here soon. He know it's from me, so it's not really a "secret".
