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.
 
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. :)
 
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.
 
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
 
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!
