Sorry to be so long to post my photo - I posted previously that I received my package but it was sent to where I'm spending the holidays, not where I live and I am just arriving. Came all the way from Hawaii! Cheers Secret Santa!

Still waiting for Santa to deliver here.

 

[Kaane]

Both my gifts show they will be delivered later today.

Should be on your doorstep. Merry Christmas!

I got a confirmed picture of the delivery. Hope it made it to the right place, haven’t heard from the recipient that they have it yet.

 

[GJSS]

OK getting down to the wire, its Christmas Eve, Eve, I did some cross checking from "delivered/Received" vs Shipped, and we now have 5 (corrected) as not posted as shipped, (Ironically the same # as didn't list shipped above) but we are in fair shape over all (compared to other years).

95% shipped (or posted received)

82% received or delivered (18 to go!)

Hopefully some are just slow posting. (for certain as 3 have been posted Delivered by their SS, but not received by the Victim)

I've been inside all day due to crappy weather . High winds & snow . I just went outside and found a parcel half buried in the snow at my front door.
It is indeed from my Secret Santa . will get some pics tomorrow

Opened on the 24th as is tradition in my family.

Big thanks to Griff79 for the awesome gifts.

Vampire pliers - Always read great things about these; even so very surprised by just how well they grip and the quality of the gaps between the jaw teeth!

PB Swiss Pocket screw driver - Love me some PB Swiss, this will go well with my full size screwdrivers.

Gloves - I was actually beginning to run low on nitrile gloves, so perfect timing.

Peach Schnapps - I'll be honest, I don't really drink, but between the wife and I we'll figure out how to incorporate it into a cooked dish.

Hand cream - I forgot to include in the picture because I had tried it out just before snapping the picture. Seems to work great, thank you!

As always, this is one of the highlights of the year, thank you to GJSS and Elves for organizing.

Happy holidays!

 

[Griff79]

You are so welcome Noid!

My wife wrapped my GJSS gift because she thought it looked sad next to the other presents

here's a crappy picture of mine.
I'm trying to guess what it is, a bit of rattling going on inside the box. lots of Tuck Tape holding it all together

Sorry for the UPS hell! I can personally vouch that the weather kicked us square in the sack! Several hrs in crazy cold weather, with -36 windchill really worked us over. No excuses if there was poor service, but there were some super heroes trying to make Christmas good For others! Merry Christmas all!!!

This year we did Christmas on Christmas Eve as thats how it worked out with all the family visits.

Not sure of my SS screen name, but his initials are ST. I got 40# of my favorite pellets from Cabelas and a $50 gift card to Shelbystore.com, so now now I gotta figure out what I want. Thanks Steven, nailed it!!

For whatever reason, the website isn't playing well with the current software release on Android, I can't attach the photo, I keep getting a box with OBJ inside of it. I'll have to download it onto the computer later and attach it.

Santa slip/slided his way to my front door just in the St. Nick of time.

 

[spencerian]

Forgot to post I'd shipped mine. It was delivered on Thursday

 

[spencerian]

I have to give a very very sincere thank you to @Travisnd for great gifts. We open the day before Christmas.
The bowl and all the rest of the gifts are so spot on. You indulged me and surprised me. Thanks so much.
Here's what I got:
Silicon solder mat. (was on my wishlist but he didn't know)
Esp32's: I have always wanted to try these. (also on my list, but he didn't know)
2 tins of nut mix. I love nuts (no homo)
Some cookies (wife stole them)
And a bowl his dad made (my favorite)

So with my most sincerity I'm saying thank you.

 

[Ipassgas]

CalebT sent me some very nice gifts. Tools he refurbished, NOS Bonney pliers, a Swiss Army pocket knife, a vintage pocket tape measure and some candy!

 

[Ray-CA]

Flying out early Christmas morning so we are opening gifts this evening. Received a wonderful assortment of hardwood, some really good coffee and a set of whisky stones from Andrew

Thank you vwpieces! The gift of light! My wife has stolen the S2+. The charger and extra batteries are a great idea as well. We have just been swapping them out as needed. The C8 has a malfunction, but I'm going to try to see what I can do. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas to a fellow Pennsylvanian!

 

[fordkid88]

Here's mine on top of the tree, I tried to use my gravity manipulator and it flipped everything. Tomorrow I'll let you know about the goods when I find out.

 

[jagwinn]

Oh man, my GJSS knocked it outta the park! I left no clues, but he found out I’m a glazier and sent glass related stuff!

And oddly enough, a dang knife I’ve been meaning to buy for a few months now. I had been using a pocket knife, but that works only so well.

THANK YOU!

(Oh and there HAD been a bag of some delicious peanut brittle, which walked away. Luckily I had a few pieces before it grew legs! I suspect I’ll get it back when their teeth are too full to chew any more! Hahahahaha)
