Ok guys if my calculations are correct (and they’re often not) everyone has reported getting their package. If anyone hasn’t gotten something please speak up so I can commence head bashing.

It's very cool and very good and I am currently speaking with my lawyer about firing everyone, very good firing, very fine people on both sides of being fired, in order to hire new ones. As THE PRESIDENT, I hereby declare all ketchup illegal and also the only good gummy bears are Haribo. NO QUESTIONS. |

holy heck everyone, this is the best secret santa EVER!! friend vanisher has taken the satan theme to a ridiculous extreme, starting with this over-the-top cover letter: I note that he has kindly put the "hell" in "hello" with some neat cards that have a very revealing message on the back (they all say "Have a great day!"). there is also a cool puzzle I can't wait to share with my mom, the puzzle fiend, and some soap that invites me to "unleash my inner man," I don't remember swallowing a man but he'll certainly appreciate the scrub. but there's more! some interesting looking hard candy, a bunch of dad jokes (a vanisher specialty), a nice reminder that the destination is the journey, and--this completely blows away my attempts at byob-themed edibles in past secret santas--a whole container of m&ms with byob colors and sayings, such as "chill," "byob," "just post", and the hammock cat. this reminds me of something I say sometimes and find to be really true: our forum is an outer shell of appealing friendliness, concealing a dark inner secret of . . . well, more friendliness. but of course the byob spirit, more than any knicknack, is a tremendous gift and one for which I am very thankful. not just to vanisher, but to all of us! edit: I forgot to mention--I didn't take a photo, but the interior of the box was filled with glitter stars that got absolutely EVERYWHERE but somehow I can't be mad, it looked awesome Manifisto fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Dec 21, 2018

I'm glad you liked it! That puzzle seems cool but the reviews say its very difficult so good luck. I saw the beer candy and had to get it, I'm sure it's terrible. |

City of Glompton posted:this has been a beautiful yobmas to watch and i am sad to not participate but i am glad to see such good santa-ing nice work everyone I couldn't agree more! I wish I had participated. It warms my heart to see the true spirit of Yobmas, and this year I really need that. |

Thank you for the kind offer, Alnilam. It's not the gifts themselves, but the true spirit of seeing fellow yobbers send total irl strangers thoughtful and cool gifts that makes me happy. My early new years resolution is to be a better poster and a better person, and to be more of a part of the BYOB community in 2019. Merry Yobmas to all and to all a good night!

My bonsai gift has been sitting on the counter for a couple of weeks, and now it's time to simulate winter, ironically. 10 weeks in my fridge! |

funniest thing I've ever seen from any secret santa thread, it's from 2016 and archived so can't get the full quote + pictures but from this thread https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3755913&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 budget prefuse posted:so here i am relaxing on the second day of christmas when i hear something being thrown against my door. i open it to find a brown package with no address or name on it but it's covered in blood and smells like piss so i'm PRETTY sure it's from my B Y O B secret santa! (squee!)

So many nice gifts from my friend Jaded Burnout that I'm just now escaping from under them. This cute frog has some of the most powerful flavor text ever printed: This dabbing Santa hat has affinity for holiday parties and gives +10 to dabs: And last but not least, I asked for and received not one, but two embarrassing marijuana torso coverings: Sorry for being such a bum, JB. I got both shirts dirty very quickly and just did laundry today. Merry Yobmas everybody!
