I dont think theres anything wrong with that...since I did the same. Just to a different place.

I don't think there's any big deal there...I'm happy with $20 worth of ANYTHING since I'm a college student.

I'm as confused as you.

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

Why is this not stickied anymore ? Ah well I am getting my SS gift out tomorrow, they've been sitting on the kitchen table for damn near a week and a half I just haven't got around to sending them out

 

[new2AMD]

bump for a (new) sticky

 

[CtK]

hmm... i sent my gift out thursday by priority mail he/she should have gotten it already

no response yet??

 

[Ryan]

Well, i didn't really stay secret. I gave my person my name and user ID I figure I'd probably want to know who sent me my present, so would the other person

I haven't recieved anything yet, though I hope my santa doesn't forget me

 

[new2AMD]

My pal should have received their gift. I hope so.

Isn't that the point of a "Secret Santa"? I believe Cashman is going to reveal the identities of their Secret Santas after the holidays. I'm still waiting for my present too.

Well, I haven't yet sent out my gift because I had been waiting so my recipient would get it around Christmastime(and not say, weeks ahead) =p I was originally going to send it earlier this week but I've been horribly caught up in finals and papers and such. But I'm definitely sending it out either tommorrow or saturday, so they should get it in time for Christmas(priority mail). So don't go posting negative heat for me just yet lol.

 

[DorkBoy]

Got mine - Thanks SS!! Just what I wanted.

Mine was sent.

I didn't participate this year, but I've been keeping an eye out for things an Anandtecher might like. I keep seeing stuff like "Free after rebate 64MB USB keys" that seem like perfect stocking-stuffers and such. If I bought something like that ($20 before rebate) would I just send the rebate forms with it or keep them? It would seem weird sending $20 + a Gift wouldn't it? But it would seem "cheap" to send something you got for free. So who gets the rebate? Or does "the deal I got" have nothing to do with the gift as long as the approximate value is correct? Of course, I saw tons of stuff this past Black Friday for free after rebate that I'd much rather get than just about any of these other gifts I see going around

I decided to forgoe all that and just bought my giftee $20 worth of real, actual, rebate-free stuff.

I also didnt want to deal with crap, I spent more than $20 but it wasnt a big deal. I havent gotten any thing yet but will update when I do.

Not to pick on you, but sending it priority mail with only 3 business days before Christmas is crazy. Priority mail isn't guaranteed and there is no tracking, other than "it was sent" by using delivery confirmation. I just hope it gets there in time for the sake of your person :/

I sent mine on the 11th (FedEx) and it arrived on the 13th. Perhaps a bit too early, but it is nice to take care of obligations swiftly.

 

[MaxDepth]

I sent mine out earlier too, to avoid any mishaps and leave enough time to do something in case the gift was lost or stolen. (That happened to my sister.)

I wonder too if some people (as in myself) are going to visit family around Christmas time. Hopefully the gifts won't be sitting outside the door as a juicy target for our not-so-nice neighbors.

 

[CT2TXtech]

I FINALLY sent out my present last nite. Hope he likes it. Happy holidays from Dallas dude. Wanted to add a shotglass, but
i forgot and didnt want to wait any longer in sending out my gift. I procrastinated way to long already

 

[DaWhim]

still haven't sent out my present
can't get it around this area, I NEED A CAR!
going back to nyc to get a present this weekend and send it out on monday! MUST!!!!!!!!

 

[Kaervak]

Oh kick ass, my gift just arrived. The Tick complete live action series on DVD. SWEET. Thank you Secret Santa.

Cashman, you might want to send out a reminder to those lagging behind as Christmas is just around the corner. Someone had said that he is waiting to receive his gift before sending his out earlier. With that attitude, no one would get their present.

If I have time, I will go through who sent it out and who didn't. This a very tedious and long procedure since there are so many people. Give me until tommorow.
