Thank you for putting that in my amazon history.

I love road trips and travelling, I'm a nerdy guy who's an EE that designs electrical and control systems for industrial HVAC so techy and electronic do-dads are cool. I'm from the frozen north so nothing CBSA would confiscate if you're shipping cross-border but I like getting a taste of local flavors from around the country. Stickers are cool but they'll likely just end up on my toolbox.

Otherwise go hog wild and surprise me!

Nope, UPS will bend you over as hard as ever and if you want the clear it yourself to avoid their stupid extra charges, well their hours are 8-11am and 3-6pm Monday to Friday because gently caress you that's why.

The secret part is not knowing who is going to give you your gift, and not letting others know who you've been assigned to.

It's fine to have your gift give away who you are, once your santee has it it doesn't matter. It's been fairly typical to include a signed note with your gift in past years.

Santee I'm waiting on one thing and then your gift will ship!

+1

The thing I ordered was shipped through Canada post so hopefully it actually arrives when the tracking predicts.

Looks like my Santee's packaged cleared customs, scheduled for delivery Monday!

I'm out of the country for the next week so if anything arrives for me I won't know about it until I get back.

So I got an alert from UPS that a package was headed my way from Canada... I don't remember ordering anything from America's hat.

A tube is delivered. Contents:

Well Mercy me, a King Dick
Contents:

Just what I always wanted, Rockwell Automation training lined paper and a bubble bag.

Just kidding.

A big, very awesome poster of racetracks from around the world, a Canadian Air Force decal, three cable clips, and two wrapped packages.
Package #1:

Two packs of hot chocolate, yay bacon, and Maple syrup. Unbroken, even.
Package #2:

King Dick!
Note:

Bajaha, thanks a ton man, the poster is awesome, the syrup will be consumed on waffles, not pancakes (come at me bro), and the hot chocolate will be consumed at the first snow here in the Cape. The wrench will be passed along dutifully next year.

Glad to hear you like it! The decal is actually for the Winnipeg Jets Hockey team, but they pretty much ripped off the RCAF logo so clooooose enough. There should have been 6 of the cable clips, but they were loosely packed so if it was inspected by customs I can see them having fallen out.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, a package arrived! :neckbeard:

The crème de la crème of screwdrivers, a set of Wera Kraftform with the laser engraved tips. These are game changing from what I hear and I can't wait to use them (Likely going to get an earful as I start taking various bits and things apart around the house :) )



Santa, you are amazing! I've been informed there's another personalized package coming my way, you have gone above and beyond! But as of now my Santa is a mystery (although I have a good guess).

Second Package has arrived! I repeat, Second Package has arrived!

OH MY IT'S :perfect:

iForge you really knocked it out of the park with this. Like HOLY poo poo THIS IS AWESOME.

First the package has to get through the customs inspection



A heartfelt note was included. Not sure why USPS failed, would the shutdown maybe be an influence? In any case FedEx got it here in one piece... barely.



Oh man, this has everything! Bits and bobs, A loving MASERATI BI-TURBO valve cover, awesome wrenches, STICKERS, and premium pornography. The bottle opener will be used shortly to crack open a cold brew to start off the weekend and the rags will be very useful for garage adventures. The brass pipe bit, it really reminds me of some of the refrigeration expansion valves I deal with but obviously missing the valve mechanism, what is that? Am I close? I believe the pipe cleaner can double as a battery terminal cleaner as well,



:swoon:



The valve cover got a quick clean to help the lettering pop out and I think I found a great place to display it



I can't say it enough, iForge thank you!
