Crow. If someone falls through and you need an alternate let me know. It'll be straight from the retailer though and I don't need to receive anything.

i am also shipping directly from the dealer. my secret santee will be getting two packages just cuz there was a black friday deal on one of the things i had in mind that i had to take advantage of. they'll probably be staggered as a result.

also i can't wait for someone to commit fraud with my information

if everybody works out and nobody needs an alternate, you can have the alternates be Secret Santas for each other!

fwiw, i'm not sure when one item will arrive, so my santee might also receive two separate packages. at least one of them will 100% be there before christmas though

If you must blink, do it now.
You can gift them through a third party you trust.

Otherwise, no.

You can make a burner account called "Secret Santa" or something and no one would know who it is.

I couldn't find anything interesting in the shops here so I'll be sending my gift straight from Amazon.

e: 2-day shipping, so it'll probably get there around the 30th.

sorry it's taken til now to respond, i horribly misread this initially; yeah books are fine (even better if they are about japanese cinema or anime or anything else relevant to my post.) i am sort of averse to manga because comics and my brain don't mesh very well

So Since I am moving from VA tomorrow to AZ (driving and some sight seeing) I don't move in till the 12th. Didn't realize the cut off date was the 10th, I messaged the "giftee?" and they told me to post here since they are cool with it.

I was also thinking of gifting my giftee a steam game. Perhaps if there's a few of us thinking of doing this we can all just send from a single steam account and thus somewhat anonymize the process?

This is a good idea.

Couple of my shippers are being difficult. Fear not Santee, you will get your poo poo even if I have to send it in multiple packages (potentially straight from retailers in a couple cases).

My first package has been delivered. My santee should have it, with a note explaining that more are on their way.

According to amazon, it was left on the back porch.

I'll be shipping my gift off on the 11th, as that's the soonest I'll have spare money. I'll likely put it on 2-4 day shipping, so it will definitely get there before christmas. I went a little overboard on gifts for people, between this secret santa stuff and spontaneous gifting from that last loving sale on steam. So that's why it's getting shipped a little later than I would have liked to get it out.

I got my gift a few days ago. Also I was forced to open it early because I didn't think I would get it that fast, and didn't know it was until I show anime inside. I feel bad now because I was going to open it on X-Mas

I'm going to probably send in my gift next week cause I'm waiting for stuff to arrive.

Dunno how long it'll take to go from Korean to [INSERT SANTEE COUNTRY HERE] but hopefully it won't be before the end of the year.

I underestimated budgeting costs, a ha ha. Still a learning experience though, and I can finally use my card for online shopping now, which is a major plus for me.

Gah, forgot to post. My Secret Santa target's getting stuff sent from a vendor, mostly because he (she?) has decent taste and there's no merch available at my local stuff. Enjoy it, target.

My secret santee's gifts should be trickling in this week. Remember to check your back porch, goons! The one I got lives decently close to where I work, and it's pouring here, so just a heads up.

OK, my wife confirms that the box I got was from someone on the internet, with possible smoking crow confirmation. Can we wait to open them? Chanukah starts soon enough and I don't have anything to tear into just yet, so it'd be nice to fry latkes and thank Secret Goon Mensches.

I don't think anyone cares if you wait to open it, as long as you post pics when you do. :)

I totally missed this thread as I've been out for work the past few weeks. I know I'm passed the deadline, but if there's any way to get signed up - I'll do it. I've participated in the last 5 years of the SASS and I'd like to continue it, but focused into the ADTRW context. If I can't get into the registry, I'll volunteer to be a Santa for someone should a Santa fail in their duties to bring the glorious treasures of the great Nippon to a goon's holiday.

so i finally have an estimated date on my last item, most likely it'll be too late to be (affordably) shipped and arrive before christmas. so two packages it is, i'll be dropping the first off as soon as the last early item gets in on Friday.
