AnandTech OT Secret Santa 2K12!!!!

[vshah]

opened my box today!
awesome pocket laser show, a bullshit button, and a sweet keychain LED flashlight (i've been meaning to get one of these for ages!)
a big thank you to my SS!

i'm waiting for one more item before I mail my recipient's stuff out.

Pro Tip: If your box doesn't contain at least $5 of random items from the Dollar Store, you're doing it wrong.

Fuck, I live between 2 dollar trees and this never occurred to me... Next year, I'll just buy $20 worth of junk from dollar tree.

That eGear flashlight is nice, much better than the equivalent Nano. Its easier to use with one hand.

Also I like the idea of Dollar Store shopping. For a SS thread its the same thing as stocking stuffers.

Sent my Secret Santa the gifts back on December 5th. Looks like they should arrive today to their destination. Hope that person loves the gifts.

I got my SS already. Kids forced me to open it. I'll post on the "What did your SS give you this year?" thread when it comes up.

BTW, thanks to my SS. Very thoughtful gift.

Does Amazon items from last years Black Friday sale count?

How do we submit tracking info? PM to Matt or Jeff? PM to the person we're SS to?

My package tracking shows it was delivered yesterday and no word yet. The bobcat must have killed him.

It's an already blown up sheep.

 

[shortylickens]

I sent an email but also wanted to say here: my stuff was shipped off a while ago.

The dude should be happy, got him stuff directly related to his interests.

Yeah, my sent package was marked delivered a little while back but I haven't heard anything either. Hasn't been the most active poster of late though so I think it's just life keeping him busy.

A word for anyone who sent stuff to me - I may not post about it till just before Christmas. I used my parents address; despite me living in the city and going to school here, I'm pretty busy this month, so I won't be able to get home till the 22nd or 23rd.

Ordered mine, should be shipped out this week. I have to admit I suck at giving gifts. :\

I can't remember which address I used.. it may have been my parent's (which I won't be visiting til next Sat) or my apartment's.

Apologize if I don't post pics for a bit.

I've Sent my SS his gifts today. It should come just before Christmas. Sorry I couldn't wrap it. I had to wait to get paid so I couldn't have it shipped to me first
