GJ Secret Santa '10

[larry_g]

Gentlemen
To those of you who are having probems and concerns on things arriving late may I suggest that a PM on Christmas eve or day be sent assuring the receipient that it is on the way. I would be fine with that if you happen to be stressing over me. This is for fun and good intentions.

[mikevango]

man thats nice. i wrapped my gift in some of last years used wrapping paper, and threw them in a used box. oh well, i guess it's what's in it that counts.

 

[mooman]

Ooops! we were supposed to wrap it?!?!?!

 

[MalibuLX3]

Ooops! we were supposed to wrap it?!?!?!

Haha, I didn't but kind of wish I did now. I sent mine out today and my guy should get it in a few days.

 

[Homoudont]

Ooops! we were supposed to wrap it?!?!?!

yeah I didn't wrap mine either.. OOPS

 

[2chipped]

I think i won the lottery=a package from some Santa guy was at my house when I arrived home from work.
Mine will be sent on sat.

 

[Red Green]

Ooops! we were supposed to wrap it?!?!?!

No you don't have to wrap it.

I hit the pawn shop today and found something I think will be perfect. I will be shipping it out on monday.

 

[mikevango]

Ok everybody post a pic of your package as you recieved it. I should of put more time into the appearance of my gift.

 

[fourfeathers]

Bubble wrap IS wrapped, isn't it?
I am so uncool. I had to find just the right size box to come in under weight, and all I had was a used cardboard box. I ship so much ebay stuff, that I can't stand throwing them out.
We ARE sending stuff to other men. Can't be TOO tidy...people will wonder.

Funny. I don't feel so bad now.

 

[woody 73]

Darn was I supposed to wrap it up,does old newspaper count as wrapping? I packed it up so tight that it will take my GJ recipient at least 30 min just to get all the outside tape off the post office box,and another 10 min.,just to undo all the newspaper.

Darn I think we forgot to send Larry g a X-mas present,maybe someone should tell him!

 

[tonydanzah]

package shipped today

 

[curbnaround]

Wrapped up tonight and will ship Saturday. Does brown paper count for wrapping?

 

[Jeff]

Ok, here's the deal. I had the SS items on the bench, in the shop. The wife (being noisy) says why are these things here in a box? I told her they were for my SS recipient on GJ.

Are you going to wrap them she asks? No, I said, the box will say SS outside so they won't open it until Christmas. She shakes her, utters the word "Men" in a sarcastic tone and retreats back in the house.

So that night I go to work. When I return in the morning the SS items are wrapped. I wasn't mad about the wrapping, I was miffed that she messed with my stuff in the shop. My wife insists that all presents should be properly wrapped and displayed. Always the Miss Etiquette.

Personally I don't care if our SS stuff is wrapped. But it is the Holidays and we must keep our women happy. I promise next year to hide everything and claim ignorance when questioned.

Happy Holidays!

 

[chadster1]

Mine showed up yesterday. It sure is a big box.

 

[larry_g]

Well maybe we should have a bit of a contest for the most 'Manly' wrapping job. My guy is going to need tools to get my packing open. I do like this confirmation of receipt being posted here so us SS's can rest easy that the shipper did not muff it.

[Moose-LandTran]

[larry_g]

Well there goes the secret bit..

Only the who is out, the what still remains a mystery. I'll leave the Whoville comments others.

[tyreguy25]

Clean tube socks inside a box are sufficient packing and padding, no?

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

Sent my SS gift today (Friday). The lady at the post office told me it should arrive on monday!

 

[Boiler]

[e-tek]

Sent mine today - also, I recieved my SS gift: It's a **** IN A BOX novelty gift (I think)and the card says: ""This will be YOUR tool if you keep frequenting those forums". So c'mon guys, who's my SS???

 

[e-tek]

EXACTLY!!!

So how are you guys trying to keep the "Secret" in SS? If we have to ship it (especially Int'l) it has to have a return name....although I made one up...Now I hope it gets there and doesn't get flagged as fake!!

 

[Marauder470]

How about we change our locations to: North Pole on GJ?

The secret part was only the shopping and gift giving. Most of last year's people included their screen names in the packages.

I sent it with an alias - let's see if he can figure it out!! (I'm guessing he will as he's one of the smartest guys on here - no offense to anyone else!!)

I do not believe that e-tek is my Secret Santa either after reading this.

[chadster1]

I think most people can figure out my real name.

 

[shotgunfatcat]
