6th Annual Garage Journal Secret Santa (Official Thread)

[Rickster55]

Got mine today! No pic yet. I think my SS's gift is on a rowboat in the middle of the Atlantic. Row faster!!!!

 

[caper150]

Mine showed up today, looking forward to opening it.


And I see my guy got his

 

[Benw455]

OK there is someone here who I am secret Santa for and they have not received their package, and I just checked the tracking # and its very close to you.

I used Priority mail sent out on Dec 17 so it looks like the Post office is very slow this week.

BTW I haven't gotten mine yet but I know its coming.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

 

[Flathead Red]

Mine arrived today!

I guess the holidays probably bog them down!

 

[Duker]

And yes.... the package has made it. My SS package shows delivered! Was getting a little nervous that it wasn't going to make it.

I haven't seen my guy post he got his yet...... was set to arrive Thursday the 19th from usps.

I stopped at the post office today and there were 2 lines at least 10 people deep in there. It was crazy. I snagged a few boxes and got out.

 

[spotco2]

I was happy to see that a mine was delivered! I am going to be spending Christmas 500 miles from home so mine should be waiting on me when I return.

 

[Stuey]

Yay, USPS came through with me SS gift today. There's a small hole, but doesn't look bug enough to have left any goodies out.

Shake test reveals lots a metal, I'm very excited!

My wife likes the tree and mini tools drawn on the box. At first she thought it was a special holiday themed priority box. Looks great but also makes me wish I decorated the box I sent out a little nicer.

 

[curbnaround]

Sorry got my box yesterday will be post a pic this weekend. Shake test revealed no clues.

 

[donmillerx]

Yeaaaah Buddddddy! I can’t wait!

View media item 36380

The box says it’s actually from someone named Santa… “Barbara”
pfft- whoever that is. You can’t fool me, Mr. Claus.

Shake test reveal:
Feels like HEAVY, SOLID steel. -My favorite thing!

Thanks in advance to my SS & the GJ.
This is definitely my favorite part of the holidays.



I also added “signature confirmation” for my recipient’s box & the tracking number shows “attempted delivery & notice left on 12/20." So check with your local post office everybody, if you haven’t already. I hope it gets there in time.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays to everyone!

 

[Phobo]

just tracked down my package and it said "overseas" since some days so at least it made it out of Europe and over the big pond. Now its up to the american service to deliver in time =).
Going to set up the tree on monday so hope sth. will arrive here for me but I highly doubt it - post service here really ***** and on christmas its of course even worse.

So far - great seeing all those packages

 

[creativecars]

I got mine!!
Signed Sealed and Delivered.
Thank You S.S... I BELIEVE...

 

[flashman]

So I figured with BNW not coming on much due to being very busy I would make a list of those who have stated their package has arrived. I noticed several names not in the original list so I am not sure if they were missed by BNW or if we have more people than expected??? Either way, hopefully this list can be used to update the status as members get their gifts. Pretty self-explanatory. If you have a capitalized Y after your user name, your gift has been received.

Well if "DAD" already opened the gift, I guess you owe us a picture!


My SS got his and has posted (thanks as I wanted to see the AW )

Nothing received as of yet but we have plenty of time.

Great posts guys as this is my favorite time of the year. It is a nice childlike feeling I get waiting for it to arrive and then waiting to open the SS gift.

 

[tjmonsen5]

Im more excited for GJ secret santa than my own family gifts!

 

[woodrail]

About my only concern is having a confirmed tracked delivery, and the recipient hasn't posted "I got it".

Makes we wonder if the package was grabbed off the porch or something , and yes my SS has been online. I suppose they could not be at their home though.

 

[quick86]

My SS has been online, but no word from him. USPS said it made it there Thursday last week.

 

[Krokodil]

Nothing yet.

Same here!

It's so tempting to slice it open...

 

[kunkernator]

I Know!!!!

I cannot wait, been shaking it back and forth, feels like one item, but is pretty heavy for the size box it is in.

For the record; I am guessing my gift is a ratchet or a wrench of some sort.

 

[The Frisco Kid]

I found my Secret Santa's gift on my bench at work this morning after coming back from vacation. One of the new shipping guys tagged it "out of territory". I went over and let him know that since I am special projects, THE EFFING WORLD is my territory and I paid to send it out of my pocket, so on both accounts he was wrong to do so and not notify me.

I sent a note to the recipient and threw a couple extra things in a new box and will get it out today!

 

[The Gambler]

gonna have to wait till christmas day for pic ill post a pic of before opening and after. took it along with all the other presents to the parents house yesterday.

 

[Chris83]

Checked the tracking on my recipients gift and still showing in transit

 

[quattrojon]

My gift arrived this morning, so thank you Trackwelder. The box feels heavy, but the contents aren't moving around so I have no idea what it might be.
