3. You should try your best to have your Secret Santa Gift to your recipient by the 20th of December. If there are delays, PM Secret Santa!.

 

[BlueBomber]

My victim doesn't post much. I couldn't find a gift idea thread, so he may get whatever extras I have laying around the shop. Part of the fun, I know!

EDIT:
Found the link to the hint thread at the beginning of this thread:

Hint, hint....;-D

Just finished with all of my Secret Santa shopping today. Last item should be here by the 7th and I’ll get it all shipped out by the 12th.

Earliest I’ve ever gotten done.

My stuff to my victim should be going out on the 8th of December. Last piece coming on the 7th early for me. Hope he likes it.

I shipped as quickly as I could because Canada post is having labor strike and as expected, its going to take longer then usual.

Tracking:

Not to rush folks, but if you're shipping into Canada, its recommended to use USPS as to avoid brokerage charges by private couriers (UPS/Fedex).

However, USPS hands off to Canada post, and delivery may be delayed because of union labor disruptions.

Bump to remind people to post in ideas thread. Need some help for my victim

 

[zktk01]

Got my victims package wrapped up going out tomorrow. I know it's early, but didn't want to be late and forget.

 

[hoston23]

package sent via UPS ground

 

[LandofRath]

Mine will go out in the next week.. hunting and my kids wrestling has eaten up a lot of my free time.

 

[Evan(CA)]

Are we allowed to post our gifts now? Such as

Someone is going to get this

(Picture)

Or would that ruin the fun on day?

Based on the below, I think waiting is more appropriate. Feel free to take the pic, (in case the victim does not post, however we want EVERYONE to do those 3 simple steps below)

EVERYONE: ALL of you should have you PM with your victim! If not, let us know and we will resend!

and PLEASE:

• post when you have shipped
• Post when you receive, and
• on XMAS Day, (or soon thereafter) please post what you got!

 

[413dan]

Bump again. Sorry...just wanna send my victim something they’ll like. Have gotten an idea of their profession from some of their posts, but would love if they posted in the ideas thread. They’re like me,sorta a low poster count person. But obvi would love to send them useful things for them over blindly guessing.
Have a few ideas if not but,not trying to send things my victim doesn’t need or want. Thanks again, gj is great!

 

[Skeptic68W]

Sent mine out this morning. Should arrive by the end of the week.

 

[Bears Fan]

[Bears Fan]

[Bears Fan]

There it is! At the post office. Has been started on its way in the caring hands of the USPS. Bloomington, Illinois (snow and black ice) to Texas! Safe journey.

 

[protegeV]

Couldn't figure out a good way to get the item shipped direct to the recipient and keep it a secret. So I'm gonna have to get it shipped here and then ship it out myself in a nondescript package. Should still make it in plenty of time.

 

[Cypherian]

Is there a separate thread for posting received SS ? Mine came in yesterday , took some pictures but don't want to clutter up the wrong thread. If my SS is reading this He is from ID .

Found a great local t-shirt for my victim, but of course, the vendor is out of XLs, and has no clue when the replacements are due-in. Might need to find an alternative for that. Might need to come up with some alternative items, as well, so I can beat the Dec. 20 shipping recommendation from USPS.com.

Ho Ho Ho!

OK, this happens almost every year with a few trickling in wanting to be in past the deadline.

We have 4 this year BUT I need confirmation by PM by tomorrow night (PST)!

So:

Bears Fan
Duker
tjpavlov

send me a PM saying you still want in.

gtsgarage asked BUT he is also short of posts.
So IF someone can Vouch for him (it's in the rules), AND he sends a PM saying he's still interested, then we will "round robin" them Into a mini GJSS.

IF anyone else jumps into the fray with a post and a PM. I'll include them.

I'll say 8:00 PM PST is the cutoff.



PM's outbound!

 

[gtsgarage]

I’m still interested but totally fine if I’m not in this year.

My package shipped out Wednesday! Wasn’t wrapped up with a bow, and is not much of a secret but I sure hope he enjoys something I crammed in the old brown box!! He seemed to have all the tools he needs by looking around in here su kinda stumped on what to get him. [emoji106]
