Secret Santa.

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 11:51 pm

Okay, I'm posting mine tomorrow.
Slightly worried because I'm sending it by regular post (because I don't want to ruin the fun by sticking my details on a Recorded Delivery sticker), but I don't trust those thieving postie basts not to nick it. After seeing those 'Dispatches' programmes recently on Channel 4, I don't like to post anything if I can help it.

I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope for honest posties working on the day it passes through their hands.

Bah!

I have recived mine, its rather funky I must say, being slightly hung-over im not sure who sent it as i didnt see the address.

but sod it, it made it more fun.

I hope that Ob didnt pair ppl up and that everyone has a random person to send to.

Isn't the game supposed to be that you don't know who sent it? Hence "Secret Santa"?

Or have I misunderstood something vital here?

So, we should bin any outer postage packaging straight away without checking it to preserve the mystery and fun? I like that thought.

I've been trying to send mine away for the past week or so. And when I say "trying," I mean I've been thinking about it.

I've got the bulk of the gift, but I'm going to throw in some sort of random TF schwag I don't want, and that I am waiting on.

Yeah, it's double hard when you have to fill out the customs stickers...

Anyway, let us know what you got!!!

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 12:05 am

Woohoo! I got mine and I'm very chuffed with it - thank you secret santa!

...though I think I know who you are

Post by **Kaylee** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 1:09 am

I got mine too- its a korean knockoff transformer, very cool!

Thank you

(I know who you are n_n).

Mine will be going out tomorrow I think.

Eline · Post by **Eline** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 6:58 am

Got mine yesterday evening!

And I must say that I am insanely happy with it.

It's a homemade cd with lots of different songs, from Nancy Sinatra to Marilyn Manson and Robbie Williams. Haven't listened the whole cd yet, but it looks very good. And it has bonus tracks!

The other thing is a beautiful Chinese top with black and red embroidery, which is something I wanted to buy for ages but couldn't find the right size. They are never in stretch fabric, so have to fit like they were made especially for you.
But how someone I have never met got me something that fits me perfectly I don't know...

Even my boyfriend has no clue what size I have.
I am wearing it to work today (nicely solving yesterday's "what do I wear tomorrow" crisis) and look pretty stunning!

I will try to make a picture.

And the wrapping was covered in Transformers stickers (that's why I didn't throw it away yet, though I have no clue where it's from, could be anywhere), which I will try and decipher today. Hope I know at least one.

Oh, should have mentioned: I got some cool clubbing goggles (which I will be wearing to anglo's Electric Ballroom excursion tonight), a Run DMC CD which I am listening to now

Some green nail varnish which I will also be wearing tonight and a book called Ocean Sea by Alessandro Baricco which I am looking forward to taking on my holidays.

Again, thanks, secret Santa!

i got mine yesterday a barrge a red wheeled grove(a redecoed knokoff no dought the company didnt even remove the autobot symbls lol!! EVEN THE RUBOFF ONE!!!!) and a "smileyface" boxer berry cool all three thanks to who sent them!

Eline · Post by **Eline** » Mon Aug 15, 2005 7:24 am

I have to add that the cd is pretty cool! Lots of songs and band I didn't know. I especially like the first song because I've been meaning to find that.

And the top is great! I wore it to work and got tons of compliments!

I posted mine over a month ago. As there's been no feedback on here I can only assume its been lost in the post.

Eline · Post by **Eline** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 6:45 am

Did everyone else get their presents now?

Or are there more lost?

Post by **Best First** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 9:40 am

oh, well i've been rubbish as i have yet to send mine or post feedback, so:

a) i got mine and it was ace - lot sof old Dr Who vids, Ponda Baba (carded!) and travel pictionary. I am especially jazzed by the Dr Who vids and am half way through them. Adric, what a tit!

b) I've not yet sent mine, sorry, will do it this weekend.

Thsi may afford who gets it some clues, but hey...

Post by **Kaylee** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 5:18 pm

I'm all done

Great idea obby- we must do it again n_n

one thing tho... the people who sent to us and whom we sent to were random right? i get the impression I was secret santa for the same guy who was my secret santa... i might be wrong tho...

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 5:29 pm

Really Karl? I got that exact same impression, considering the return address on my gift was from the same city as where I sent my gift to.
