So I received a little package from a "Secret Squirrel" today... I've got a feeling I know who it's from! :lol

I'm saving it for Christmas, thank you for the thought!

I used to have pads just like those. Love that painting. :thumbsup

Thank Google... It was the first Hockey Goalie to come up in my Search.

It's a pretty famous painting. See prints of it all the time in frame shops. Very classically Canadian! :love

15 min left and I learned something new today... Talk about cutting it close.:lol

AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


You're making ME wait that long too!!!! Dangit! :lol

Well, at least I know it got there! That's what I was worried about. That and that it's okay. It's kinda.....fragile (without giving away what it actually is).

And be careful....there two things in there. So no shaking!

Ooooohhh! I can't wait! My girlfriend is anxious too and keeps trying to get me to open it early.

Arrival at Post Office (Cleared customs)
December 24, 2011, 12:54 am
GREAT BRITAIN

Hmmm, My gift arrived in the UK. Is there delivery on x-mas eve in the UK?

 

[j0wE]

my recipient should have received theirs by now. I believe the address given to me was his work so he might not see it until monday.

 

[FrogmanStudio]

Just checked for today, and still waiting it seems :*(

 

[Michael Bergeron]

Due to the mailing dates of a lot of these I have a feeling that there will be a lot of gift arrivals next week. That said re-read the rule post folks:

I'm happy to say that last year we only had one incident but it should be noted that anyone who doesn't come through on their end of the deal will be reported to the mods.

Nobody wants to see things go sour. This is a Secret Santa and not worth getting disciplined over (the mods will decide appropriate action of course). I've already had a couple volunteers to send something to anyone that misses out because of someone not sending. If you have an S by your name you're good by me!

HOWEVER! I have faith that 99% of this will go swimmingly! Getting a gift next week is like extending Christmas!

If you're having ANY troubles please let me know right away. Communication goes a long way with this type of thing.

Thank you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of you!!!

 

[frosty]

well nothing today, so next week it is, i'd like to say a big thanks to orange blend for sorting this out for us all, all the best to all of you

 

[TallDarkandDisfigured]

Well, the time is nearing, so I'll be a little vacant for the next day or two. So I just wanted to wish all of my RPF friends a very Merry Christmas.

If you are going to be enjoying any bottled Christmas cheer, please be safe and plan ahead.

And a special thanks to our RPF Santa Orange Blend.

All the best
Dan

I agree with the jaw drop. I still view my Xmas in terms of haul. This was an amazing haul and way too generous.
It included six plush (gorn, vulcan, ferengi, mugato, targ, andorian), TOS tv lights, Wrath of Khan miniatures, TMP movie flyer, star trek memories, encounter at farpoint lit film cell, Next gen photon candy vintage mip, 3 inch Picard and Wrath Kirk, and Next gen card game, (deck and 2 warp packs).

Basically, WOW!!!! I had the TV set lights years ago and loved them. Only problem is I am not allowed to add them to the tree just yet. We'see . . .

Again, thank you to my SS. Really very awesome.

I'm worried as my recipient has not said anything about receiving my gift. I hope the post office did not loose it or take extra money from me and then not deliver it before christmas as they should have.

 

[Finhead]

You can't really trust em to get it delivered on time at this point of the year. I paid for next day delivery last week, took 4 days to get there. :unsure

 

[Prince NEO]

that's bull, if it had cost me alot then I'd go and demand my money back but it was farily cheap to ship since my recipient was close. Unfortunately they did not offer same day shipping when I went at the start of the week.

 

[MooCriket]

Still nadda here. Merry Christmas everyone. Best wishes and love for all of you.

A big package arrived for me in the post today and I just couldn't resist opening it straight away. It's so awesome I was literally blown away by how cool it is!
What is it....a super awesome Batman Arkham City display!


RPF Secret Santa gift by Captain Wales, on Flickr

It's so cool and also really thoughtful. So massive thanks to my Santa! It's signed GD creations on the back but I can't match it to a username, so whoever it is thanks very much. I'm going to hang it on my wall as soon as I have some free time.

That two face picture is squint, it might be an idea to take the back off, remove the sticky dots and replace with some proper double sided tape, whoever made that has done some really shoddy work there, i can tell from the pictures there, that the postcards have been secured with some really sub-standard fixing materials, and in all honesty the maker should really never use those confounded sticky pads again!
