11th annual GJ Secret Santa!

[BreeStephany]

My package arrived from my Secret Santa! I had to run out of town before the package arrived so it took me a bit to get pictures from my neighbor of the package under the tree. With that said, here it is.

I will try to get pictures of the gift opened by the end of christmas day.

Hey guys, I'm away from the house until Christmas day, and still haven't received my package, whoever my secret Santa is, just giving you an update.

USPS bamboozled the arrival date. It is out for delivery today. Sorry for the last minute but I sent it out December 18th and they guaranteed it by December 22nd. So much for the guarantee.

Mine just arrived in time for Christmas! I can't wait to tear it open, looks like UPS banged it around pretty good! Thanks ahead of time to gtsgarage


Merry Christmas to all

Received a package today marked secret santa. Can't wait to open it tomorrow.
Merry Christmas everyone, and thanks again to the organizers.


p.s. I posted a few days ago about an unexpected amazon package that may be from my secret santa. At this point I still suspect they may be connected, but hope to find out the origin tomorrow.

Lol!! That about sums it up.

USPS tracking says it was delivered to your front porch.

Found a rogue medium flat rate box outside from Georgia, I’m guessing it’s my secret Santa gift. Thanks to everyone who works so hard every year to pull this off!!

So things aren't as lopsided as I thought, just looking at the numbers and percentages which are EVEN!

Having said that even though it may be going to be there late, please post them up! we can relay the info and resolve a lot of anxious people!

If you have not shipped, please do so ASAP!

If you HAVE shipped, but not posted the fact, again, please do so!

It has been shipped!

And I got a note from your SS - Day (Date) was updated and looks like jan 2 is the new expected date. Should have been there 22nd.

 

[WagonHo!]

It has been shipped!

Hardest workin’ Santa ever! I’ll put some cookies and Whiskey out for you. Just let the Mrs and Rudolph drive er.. pilot.

 

[GJSS]

OK, this took more than I expected, but:

Here is the list of people I have that have been shipped to, but I have not seen them say "received"

This could be from them not posting, OR, it could be that the package is late...

It could also be I got cross-eyed, so feel free to correct me if I'm off!

And I WAS off! see the corrected list below!

 

[IMStuner]

Thanks for the update.

OK, I totally screwed that last list up (I'm deleting the list as soon as I've posted)

Your right! I screwed it up... (that list gets mind bending at times...)

 

[chrismenke]

I'm in the not received/not posted category. I may not be in the shipped category though...

Couldn't wait. Thank you secret santa, I really appreciate it!

That’s nice!

Hi-yo Donder, Blitzen and Secret Santa!
The haul included a large selection of Duro-Indestro, inclding a set populated mostly by wartime Duros. A large selection of wrenches is heavy on Williams, but with a good dose of Long-C Craftsman. The Williams bunch included an ignition set and an apparently brand new 15/16 1/2" drive 8 point socket, one I had searched for several years ago and given up on.
The star of the show is a beautifully shined-up ball peen hammer, monogrammed with my screen name!!
It is a stellar garage sale haul without leaving the house.
Thanks, SS, you hit it out of the park!

 

[1320stang]

Man, I cleaned up. Rated ///M hooked this Santa up.

My care package consisted of some safety items for the garage. I got 9 pairs of 3 different types of gloves, 2 pair of tinted safety glasses, a 6' Milwaukee keychain tape that I'm sure the wife will take, a pair of Milwaukee Inkzall markers, a couple of Markall poducts, one is a 300*F heat stik and the other is a silver streak welder's pencil (it says its better than soap stone), a 6" level, a led, 3 AA flashlight that's good to 3 meters underwater (might go in my scouting backpack), a set of 6 keyed alike American Lock padlocks and the piece de resistance, a Gerber multitool. It appears used, that's fine, it'll go in my backpack as well, I don't have one and have needed/had to borrow one in the past.

You knocked it out of the park Rated ///M.
