2016 SECRET SANTA THREAD - Entry now CLOSED

[andrew25rs]

Probably not much pictures because a lot are waiting on Christmas to open. That's what I'm doing. [emoji106]

So the gifts I'm sending are one fully handmade, one half handmade, and one purchased. Although it definitely meets the $20 quota, it sort of doesn't look like it does, all three things are rather small. Should I quick try to whip something else up? I don't want to come across as stingy

Sounds like a lot of thought and work went into that set of gifts - sounds like a winner to me.

Totally up to you but I know personally that handmade stuff has a premium value to me!

Thanks for the advice!! I guess I'll just send it out as soon as I can!

 

[doppelganger]

Sounds like you've thought long and hard on your gift/s. If the receiver isnt happy then they really dont get it. But by the sounds of it im sure they'll love it/them.

I just hope my receiver likes theres.

 

[Kevin Gossett]

Mark me as received! I'll open and post pictures shortly

Also, I'll be shipping my gift tomorrow. I'll shoot tracking info to you once it's out, Michael

Personally, as a builder I know how much work goes into making something. I'm sure most others would appreciate the work put in no matter the size of the prop. I would be more than happy with a kit, doesn't have to be something built. Most people would even prefer small props because of limited space. I dunno, don't stress it.

 

[Kevin Gossett]

OK, picture time!

I opened to the box to find not one, but 3 gifts!

William Shakespeare's Star Wars, a Groot coffee mug, and an Awesome Mix vol 1 cassette tape!

Thanks Santa!

Got my present... I opened it up and thought to myself, "It's a trap!"; a hand-painted portrait of "Admiral" Ackbar:

I can honestly say this has got to be one of the most unique and bizarre Christmas presents I've ever received. Hilarious! Thanks to my SS and a Merry Christmas to all!

Kind regards,
Indy

Mark me down as sent....

 

[Monkey540]

Please mark me as received, I got word that it has arrived, when I head home next week, I'll open it up thanks SS

 

[QCWolf]

I have received my gift! I got home last night and found a box with this printed on the front:

I'm normally a patient person and I had planned to wait until Christmas to open it but then I saw this:

Who am I to argue with instructions? So I opened it and found this:

I'm a big Fallout fan so I was super happy to find this inside:

Each of these items has been hand crafted and I couldn't be happier. The thought and effort that went into this gift makes me feel proud to be a part of this community. The pistol has some great detail and the weathering completes the look. I plan to put some clock hands inside the bottle cap clock and hang it next to my work bench.


Thank you Secret Santa! You made my holiday a little more bright!

 

[BatMcFly]

Please mark me as sent. Package was sent at the post office this afternoon. I'll PM the tracking number if there are any problems.

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Michael, in case you missed it... I should be marked as both shipped and received.

 

[zanderwitaz]

Sent one package from a retailer, sending out a more personal one as well tomorrow.

 

[The Schlitzie]

Mark me as received, I got a goodie in the mail. I might open it in the next day or two :devil

Got home last night and mine was sitting at the door waiting for me. I can not thank my Secret Santa enough, I was blown away.
