Fourth Annual Secret Santa! (SIGN UPS CLOSED)

[Elomin Sha]

Little delay with mine. It will go tomorrow. Stupid long hours at work.

[Keab42]

Remember Elomin, always declare the pipe bomb on the customs label, it stops them opening it and accidentally setting if off before it reaches your victim.

[Darkobra]

I read Keab's post first. Then Elomin's. And I SWEAR I read "It will go off tomorrow."

Guys! Guys! Am I the first person to get their package this year??

Look what was on my doorstep when I got home today!



Inside was a very cute card:



Followed by the most incredible cuteness ever. Prepare yourselves... seriously:





Their names are Robespierre (the bigger one) and Dalton (the smaller one) according to the card.

Plus a sculpture made from volcanic ash:



My Secret Santa didn't sign the card but I think I know who it is from. Thank you so much! You have no idea how much squeeing happened when I opened the box!! Soooo cute!

Now I have to work double time on my gift, which hasn't been sent yet!

[Jamfalcon]

Wow, those look really neat.

[Duckay]

I had a mysterious package arrive yesterday! I peeked inside to see if it was gift wrapped, and it is not, so I did not look further. Temptation!

[Danzama]

Mine's behind scedule (stupid item not being as easy to find as it should have been), but all's well. It will be sent off after I get paid next week.

[elvor]

Mine's been sent off today!

[JustAName]

I believe mine arrived today; I can't think of another reason to get a gift postmarked from there. I'll wait to open it at any rate.

[Phailhammer]

Oh, I should mention that mine has a small LRR logo on the back, near the "from" section.

[Metcarfre]

Ahhhhhh I'm behind but it's being sent early this week for sure!

Just a tip, you can be a bit vague on the 'contents' portion of the mail sticker if you don't want to spoil the surprise - you'd be surprised how many coats and neckties I've bought off eBay that arrived labeled "scrap fabric".

[Evil Jim]

My gift may arrive a little late. It's hand-made & unfortunately, I had to wait until tonight to work on it due to an injury to my hand. I'll be sending it off as soon as I can.

[JustAName]

Yeah, I've been slow at sending mine because it's handmade and finals, but I'm pretty certain it'll arrive in time.

[auberginequeen]

Mine is in limbo at the moment due to finals and my research project. Looking to get it mailed no later than next week but as a result it will probably be a little late. My sincerest apologies.

[Lord Hosk]

I feel really bad I have had mine sitting in the box for a week now... I promise its going out in the morning. I just hope it arrives in time.

[JackSlack]

Sent. Finally.

Apologies for delays.

[Elomin Sha]

Sent. Delivery quite a bit more than I was expecting. Enjoy it.

[TheRocket]

OMG Tapir that is so stinking cute. I totally forget who your Secret Santa was at this point, but kudos to them!

Makes a change to two years of scottish sweets, books and soap from me no doubt!

[Elomin Sha]

I'm trying to aim for not waiting at the letterbox and nothing appear for a second year.

[Phailhammer]

Hmm...I believe I may be the third to have their's arrive.

Edit: Holy bus, that's a lot of wrapped parcels (two large-ish, a few smaller ones). I'm too lazy to snap photos right now, deal with it. I think in the past I've cracked the wrapping early, but I'll wait this time, though I might crack the booster-sized one early..

[Keab42]

I think this must be the most exciting part. Watching as people announce the parcels arriving and then trying to figure out who might have sent them based on relative efficiencies of various postal services. Or is that just me?

[Ptangmatik]

Um... I may have signed a small bit of paper included with the one I sent off :-S

A genuine Ptang autograph?! Wow, lucky them!

[Elomin Sha]

It came from a land down under



Pencil/paint brush holder and a notebooks. I can never have enough notebooks. Thank you.
