I don't remember what I put for my Secret Santa note, but I just want everyone to know I'm not picky. There's no specific gift I'm hoping to get. If you get me, you can send me whatever you think is neat and appropriate (or inappropriate :unibrow:). I'm pretty easy to please.

Oh, I don't drink though, so no booze. Unless it's just really really good booze and you insist, in which I guess I'll try it.

I like socks! Especially the big warm ones. I'm not a slipper person, so I usually throw on a pair of warm socks at home.

Otherwise something from where you're from. LittleSin Sent me a neat gift a few years ago, which was a Newfoundland mug. I still use it. I'll try to come up with a few more ideas too.

At stienman's bequest, I'm just letting my secret santa know that....since woot is now selling their old shirts, there are a lot of fox ones. And as I mentioned, I adore foxes. So, here are my three favorites if that's something you're interested in getting me.
http://shirt.woot.com/offers/the-quick-brown-fox
http://shirt.woot.com/offers/foxfall

This is a 'just so you know' post. Don't feel like you have to get any of these at all. :)

Oh, and size medium, in case you need to know that info.

in case mine was sent blank as well


I'm down for pretty much anything.

I've really been into Warhammer 40k lately, but most of the things pertaining to that are beyond the $5-$20 limit. Some small paint brushes would be great. Hobby Lobby has some decent ones that are put out by Vallejo, which also puts out some paints as well. I'm pretty set on reds, yellows, blues, black, white, and grays, but other colors are good.

My wife and I recently had a daughter who just hit the 7 week mark. We have plenty of 0-3 clothes, but around the 6 month mark, we don't have as much. Cute baby stuff would work.

A starbucks gift card would be great for my wife. I'm totally willing to work as a passthrough so that she can get a gift. If you'd rather send it to her, her name is Teresa Aldaco.

Unfortunately, my hobbies (guitar, photography, and 40k) are expensive, so it's hard for me to come up with a good list of Secret Santa/Stocking Stuffer type stuff.

I'm sorry if the list isn't all that great. I wish I could think of more.

BTW, did my gift from 2 years ago survive?

It did! It was our mantle center-piece for quite a while, then we moved it around to some other tables. Still very cool :)

So yes, I have my Secret Santa gift! either that, or a gift from some random person which...would still be pretty cool, i guess.

aww yeah son got that bowser hat!

I think Hamtaro looks better in hats than I, personally.

So thanks to...Ravenpoe? I'm guessing Ravenpoe since it came so fast. I only have a real name in the box.

And now an unofficial poll: How do you guys wear your hats? Straight bill like the kids these days or curved brim? I always curve them so I assume I'm old now.

Thank You Santa! :)

It totally wasn't me, this is SECRET santa!

Though, don't ask me how I know this, but there should be more coming. It didn't all get shipped together.

Sadly, http://discount-drugmart.com/pharmacy/shots-vaccines/pneumococcal-immunization/ is out of the price range, so your secret santa will probably have to make do with http://www.giantmicrobes.com/us/products/pneumonia.html instead.

These days I'm big into Game of Thrones and Communtiy, if someone wants to get me some merch from either of those shows. I like pint glasses, shotglasses, T-shirts (Medium) and long-sleeved shirts (Large). I also wouldn't say no to a new scarf, since I'm likely gonna need one this season. :)

Truth. This man speaks true words.

I got more stuff.

Mints! Zelda Mints!

Nintendo Figurines! Like, all of them. Ever.

Mug.jpg

Pixel Heart Coffee Mug! This thing is awesome. I almost bought it for myself a few times earlier this year.

Mmm. I just burned my tongue. No really, this was a hard picture to take.

This box did have a note with a Santa clue:

To BErt: Of all the Halforums posters, you're one of them!
From: A literary bird in disguise

I love all of it. Ravenpoe, thank you for my awesome Nintendo Christmas!
:D

The first thing I thought of when I got your name, was I remembered the dog in your profile pic is named Yoshi.

So I thought you might appreciate Nintendo swag.

The hat is still my favorite. It looks good on ya.

Come home to pick up lunch, find package in mailbox.

I didn't order anything... certainly not from the Mounted Police Post in Vancouver... sweet!



However... I may have made a mistake opening it in front of my daughter...



...Especially right before nap time. Although that second face is EPIC.

Thank you to K. A.!

Okay, I need some help.

HowDroll What type of things interest you? I've "stalked" the hell out of you on the boards the past few days, but nothing I've found has helped me with anything except, "large because of my bewbs." But I'm not really sure of what types of geekdom, collecting or just interests that you have. Please, please lent a helping hand.

I'm going to do the same thing!

Oh Bubble181, paging Mr. Bubble181.
Going through your posting history hasn't help as much as I'd hoped. Would you like to share some of your interests with this humble Secret Santa?

You want to know the secret to gift giving? It's easy. You don't get them what they want. You get them what they didn't know they wanted yet.

True, but giving someone a gift bag from Bed Bath And Beyond when they prefer to stink is just a waste of a gift.

Who the hell doesn't like bed bath and beyond? I mean, when I buy soap I just buy whatever bland soap is for sale. But you give me a giftbag and hell yeah I'll try this apricot body scrub.

Uhmmm, guys, I think that you mean Bath & Body Works. They're the ones that sell soap, lotion, scrubs and Wallflowers. Bed Bath & Beyond sells home goods for the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
