2011 RPF Secret Santa Gift Exchange (sign up has closed)

Lotta S letters, very few R's or SR's.

I'm sure that many just haven't let me know that they have sent. What that list looks like the week after Christmas will be more telling. :)

That said, we're looking for a lot of S right now. Can't have an R without an S!
 
I bet a lot of gifts are delayed in the Christmas rush.
Realistically, I'm not expecting to receive mine until after Christmas.
 
I didn't see an R next to my name, so I'll just confirm that I did get my gift.
Some custom fodder and Mego-sized cases to display customs:

And comics, including two autographed by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmioti:

Thanks Interceptor6!
 
I really really tried to wait but I couldn't stare at a shiny blue TARDIS shaped box until Christmas. So I opened it and there are 7 packages inside. Kevin Enricon's 1st version of Sam Flynn's necklace from Tron Legacy. A rebuilt TRU Green Lantern ring. Mark Poon's RPF challenge coin. A bottle of Tru Blood from the HBO store. A replica of the novel "The Journal of Impossible Things". An 11th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver. And last but not least the Watch of Rassilon made by The Next Doctor on The RPF. I'll post pics Later as there was a stack of cards inside with a Clue to each item before I opened them. Best Christmas gift ever!!

Epic gift ! Congrats ! :thumbsup

Mine arrived.
I have EVERYBODY beat!!!

So I received a package today. No big deal as I receieve a package almost every day. I was getting ready to open it then the wife reminded me it could be from my Secret Santa, which I wanted to wait until Christmas day to open. So I asked her to open it in the other room and tell me if it indeed WAS from my SS. After a few minutes I heard, "Oh my GOD!" followed by serious laughter. She rewrapped it, came back and said, "Oh, yeah...this is SO from your SS and you are going to love it!" I said, awesome! then she said that she wants me to open it NOW! I said, "Why? Is it alive???" (still laughing) "No...but this is something that just can't wait!" I caved and opened it.

What was inside?

Oh my GOD! It's a tiny Funky Jedi! :lol
Talk about being creative!
Dorian Gray, you ROCK, my brother!!!

Dorian, very well done(y)thumbsup. Funky, that is an awesome gift:)

Agreed on both counts ! Dorian that is amazing ! A custom figure is always awesome but this is above and beyond. Congrats Funky.

I wasn't going to open it until Christmas, I swear. That's my story and I'm sticking to it...

I wasn't going to open it, but I decided I would read the enclosed note to see who it was from. Well upon opening the note I saw some mounting instructions. What caught my eye though was the word "Shield".......

How can you NOT open it after that??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!

So needless to say, I'm weak and I caved,

This thing is awesome!!! It's lifesize(next to a 50" plasma, don't mind the dust), and I can't thank Draphin enough. I never thought I would receive something so awesome! Big Kudos to Draphin for the gift and to Orange for putting this together. I hope my SS giftee is at least half as happy as I am right now!!!

That is so awesome ! Way to go ! COngrats to all !


Sidenote:

Box 1 of my items has been sent.

Working on the balance now ! :thumbsup
 
i just got mine on the way, i wrote yesterday that i would send today XD
had quite some problems at the post office, as apparently the format of the package isnt allowed to be sent anywhere outside of austria. so i had to talk them into still sending it :D
i didnt understand why they wouldnt send it tho, as i thought it was a pretty common shape

anyways, this way it has insurance and tracking, so all is good :)
 
Got mine sent out the other day... Realized I left the custom Christmas card lying on my desk after I got home from the post office. D'oh! I imagine the recipient will know it's their Secret Santa gift.

Ya it may be a common shape but they still have some concerns.

This was a great idea, I will see if i can remember it for next years SS

totally stealing that idea too!

mine will ship monday. i've stepped outside my ability-comfort-zone on this and it will be amazing! ...but it's taking a bit longer to implement. :unsure

How cool is it that people are trying new things for this! :thumbsup

Just a note to anyone who hasn't shipped yet. If you're shipping via regular post and it's not in the mail it will likely arrive after Christmas so let me know if it's going to be late!

No communication + Not there on Christmas = Not nice. :)
 
I'm pretty sure I received my SS gift today! :) It's a huge box and a small box and it's killing me to look at it and not be willing to open it until Christmas. Makes me feel like I should have done more with my gift.
 
Mine should be going out tomorrow and it will be sent priority so it should definitely be there just before Xmas. I'm super liking what I'm making so I hope my recipient does as well. It's also a sort of new style for me to do so while I think it's cute I have no idea how "accurate" it is lol.
