I sincerely hope I was able to do right by my recipient. It's not much, but I hope they like it. (And have hopefully received it if the tracking number is correct.)
I'm still waiting on one more overseas game before I ship. If it doesn't arrive by the 14th, I'm sending what I've got Thursday with a note that one more game is on the way
I finally got it shipped out. Had a hell of a time because the prices for shipping are crazy these days! I guess I haven't shipped things in a long time...
I'm eagerly waiting for my own gift to come...very excited as to what it might be. I haven't been let down yet and this is my 3rd year doing it. My SS gifters always give me a box full of goodies and as an added bonus it's such a surprise to see what little things they add. I won't say this is my only way of getting gaming related gifts during the holidays, but it's the only surprise gaming related gift I get...most of the time I know what I get because I have to tell my parents what to get me (since they have no clue what I like lol...).
Just got done wrapping mine up and sending it out tomorrow! There were a few more scuffs than I expected on the gift I bought, but I'm crossing my fingers my recipient still enjoys it, especially because it's such a good game!
I got my package yesterday, I really liked the presents I got and even ended up beating one of the games. The person used an alt. name on everything so I'm not sure who to thank, so whoever you are SS just know that I think it's great .
Thank you to my Secret Santa... Matt from Maryland. I wish he included a NA screen name so I can send him a PM. He spent way to much money. His generosity blew me away!!! Thank you so much Matt!!! Please PM me if you get this message.
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.)
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.
I know right? That is some gorgeous wrapping paper right there! I'd feel bad opening it too!
Wow, how did I miss this? That's so awesome! lol
I would open it, but like suuuuper carefully. Then frame the paper. hahaha
And that bow would go right up with my posters.
Hate to make everyone jealous, but I was the lucky recipient. I was absolutely floored at the wrapping job. It's much better looking in person. That bow though! I'm a Metroid nut and opening this to see that bow was sick! Thanks Tuxedocivic!!

I've had mine boxed for a week, finally got time and remembered to mail it after a week of finals and going to my Mom's house to help her out. I got something my recipient asked for as he was very specific and had plenty to chose from. Made it easy for me. Didn't gift wrap but this is my first year and I didn't think of it. But I still hope he likes what I got him and has a fun Christmas.

No jealousy at all here. I just thought we were not supposed to reveal until the reveal thread came out on the 25th(?). So much for the suspense on who will be recieving this.

Dang...you know what? I think you are right. For some reason, I was thinking we just didn't reveal what we got if we opened early but I'm 99.9% sure you are right. Santa may be PMing me. My bad. Now my boss and Secret Santa can bust my balls for my memory.

No worries Mega Tank! No one knows what's in the box! (Except Morgan Freeman)
I could have sworn I posted this scene in another thread, but apparently not this one.
