WTB: Secret Santa stocking stuffers

[BMWWW]

Hi folks,

I'm quite new to the boards, and signed up for S.S this year. (Great experience through S.S on other forums); but I'm in need of a bit of help.

Since the name-disclosure on GJ's S.S is a bit late, I'm left with very few options in terms of stalking the assigned name, and ordering up appropriate gifts. (Especially since I'm located in Canada)

I'm looking for any generic tools/car stuff that any tool-crazy chap will enjoy. Please post/pm me what you have for ~$30, and thanks for helping me out!

If I were you, I'd wait until the names are posted, do a little research on the person you have (should only take a few min) and then order it online and have it sent directly to him. Most online stores have a "gift" option. You might even be able to call them and ask if they can put a note on it "Do not open until Christmas"

The problem with that is that it is a very short amount of time between SS name disclosure and the date on which you're supposed to have sent your items. I understand his problem completely.

Nothing from HF or a Duralast ratchet for me please.

That is HILARIOUS.

Since he is in Canada, no Princess Auto stuff! (HF equiv)

Maybe I should have told him I got him a six-pack of those pine tree air fresheners,at the Princess Auto store!

 

[Boiler]

I'd rather get air freshners than HF screwdrivers!

I've done this for the past 2 years with the BMW forums. We got our names a week ago. This is 'barely' enough time to adequately stalk, and ship to my place, package, and then re-ship. To be frank, I'm getting all the online stuff shipped to a UPS store in the states, bringing the rest of the S.S package across the boarder, and shipping from within the US. Lots of work, but wouldn't have it any other way! (Plus, I got goodies for myself at the UPS store)

In GJ's S.S, there is simply no way to get a stalked gift to the recipient.. I could have it shipped direct, but then there's no way to package all this other schweet schwagg in one package.

For me, the box/packaging/gag gifts are just as awesome as the primary gift.
