Well, this is very interesting! Might want to go for this, after getting what I will be sending as a present.

I wonder if it's fine to give hints as to what will be sent in both the PM and in thread. For the former it would somewhat help with effectiveness of partner assignment and the latter...well, it's more for overall interest in the matter.

You still have to send me a present, you just won't get anything back :P

Don't give hints, you'll spoil the surprise!  Also, it's a secret!

Hopefully this year I'll be able to come up with a couple of ideas for good gifts. AUSA might be able to provide me with something interesting for y'alls.

Having second thoughts if I'll join despite tightness in budget >.<... Though I guess most of everyone experiences this, so...

...Still having second thoughts o.o

Regardless, I pray for this year's Secret Santa Success! >w<

Are you willing to ship international? Yes/No (US/Canada residents only)
This question concerns only US/Canada residents, but doesn't mean the contest is for US/Canada residents only, right?
Well, different countries have different policies on shipping stuff abroad...I think...

The contest is open to everyone, but anyone outside the US and Canada must be willing to ship internationally as there is a very high chance that you will not have a partner in your own country.

Post by: HakureiSM on November 03, 2011, 05:02:30 AM
I think everyone regardless of residence should be willing to ship internationally to participate :wat:
Otherwise it narrows down the possibillities.

Also fuck the police, I'm in. Again.

You've got a month to get something together, no one's saying the present has to be related to Touhou.  I still think the most interesting gift I've seen given was a bottle of pure maple syrup.

Also, why not "Ranta Claws"?
I thought about it, but decided on this one.  I have a few more Rans in santa outfits, so that may change

Mom said maybe.

As expensive or inexpensive as you want it to be.  If I had to make a guideline, I'd say you should limit yourself to no more than 20 USD.

It depends on where you're from, really. In most of New England, it's a local specialty and welcome part to many breakfasts that could benefit from something sweet. In Vermont in particular, it's a BEVERAGE.

Post by: Rin Kagamine on November 03, 2011, 05:33:07 PM
Like I said, I don't like giving a guideline.  That used to be the guideline on Bemaniso (where I stole these rules) and no one bothered to follow it.  God knows I spent way more than that on HakureiSM's gift last year and it didn't even show up.  I spent more than that on the replacement gift that is still sitting on my shelf.

Spend as much or as little as you want.  Don't peg it to any dollar amount.  Also, don't limit it to just Touhou.  If I participate this year I won't be sending out anything Touhou related.

just before someone ask, last year there is that stupid thing about people from Asia will find it hard to mail packages to the US because lolterrorism or some shit, is it still there?
No, that was lifted several months ago.

That bottle was specially special(well that sounded retarded) because it was sent to Japan, where apparently maple syrup is a legend

I'm considering joining, but there are some delays to send items from UK to USA seen Here (http://www2.royalmail.com/customer-service/international-incident-bulletin#North%20America) so may have to be sent slightly early.

Also i'm kinda new to this, so any average on how long a package should arrive?

Bump for the weekend.  Since I'm apparently really bad at calendars, the deadline is actually Wednesday the 16th, not a fake day (Tuesday the 16th)

That means there are ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT TO SIGN UP!

Same here. Directly from a store, no less, so there's no return address. This negates my previous threat to dust for fingerprints as well. How sneaky! My landlord inadvertently opened it himself, so he knows what I got before I will.

also name and location narrow it down a whole bunch
Hope whomever sends mine won't be too obvious with that! Chances are it'll be another direct-from-store shipment if that is the case.

I kind of hope people don't get them all really quickly because then there's a huge gap between the うさ people and the international people. A few a week would be perfectly spaced for max tension!!

i know that happened the first year

SingPost delivers internationally, and if it's anything like other national post offices it'll be loads cheaper than FedEx or UPS.

Just got my package. :D No idea who it could be from. How mysterious~

Also, I may or may not have already sent out my package. If I have, this message is just a ploy to throw someone off from guessing who their SS partner is. If I haven't, it means that I'll be sending the package by the end of the week, and I'm confident it'll still find its way to that someone well before the holiday.

Sent two weeks ago. Also recieved mine. Pre-opened, my parents thought it was a bomb. :V
It was wrapped, though, so I still don't know what it is or who sent it. Although location narrows it down by a lot, and I'm too 'busy' to hunt down someone who lives in somewhere.

The return address is in NJ... hmm. That narrows it down quite substantially. :justasplanned:

e: Where you wrote "FRAGILE!" on the top of the box it looks like you wrote "FRAILE!" at first, then tried to shimmy the G in after the fact. This is hilarious to me for some reason.

Okay, so my pretty big box has been sitting around for a while. Sort of built up a bit of hype over it; kept thinking to myself what it could possibly be. Having seen Dora and all that Touhou goodness, I was filled with such paru paru~
So here we go, opening the present to find...

PIECES!

[Kanjou is busy rebuilding...]

Okay, with that done with, the results!

http://tinypic.com/r/npql39/5 (http://tinypic.com/r/npql39/5)

... A QB bag. You got me a QB bag! New dartboard has been found; now I can kill the little [REDACTED] whenever I want! [May or may not hate QB to pieces.] Got a Hellgate book; got a figure too which isn't on screen. I've never seen/read any of Hellgate, so it's something new for me to take a peek at. Not entirely sure what the wire thing is supposed to be... but it's nice.

Onto the 2nd part...

http://tinypic.com/r/2d9v3ih/5 (http://tinypic.com/r/2d9v3ih/5)

Figurines! Lots of them! And of all the things to get figurines of, it's from Suzumiya; which has been a part of my anime life for some time. What's better is that it's only Kyon who isn't there; which I don't mind. Love the Mikuru bunny one; I remember eyeing that up for a while a couple of years back. Too bad the only Touhou product came in the form of a folder; but it gives me something to take with me to university instead of just a pile of papers... Though now it's a pile of papers hidden underneath an armpit. :P

Not pictured was this small red box that the figures came in; so a lovely little addition.

All in all, wow! My figurine collection has shot up rapidly! Thank you very much.

It is like Jesus gave me his porno collection yoooooooooooooo
then I was like took pictures and calmed down from jumping up and down and I was like yooooooooooooooooooooooooo I need to watch the entire bitchin series one more time while snuggling this fantastic motherfucking gift like every episode like yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

okay enough of this shit, pictures slightly later from my Android.
Thank you mysterious superhuman from Nippon Teikoku, god if I knew it was you I would have asked for some really kinky ass pillow covers but alas those will never get pass customs, but this, this is one helluva awesome gift.

Thank you mysterious NIPPON SANTA.


HOLY SHIT KANJOU
is that a Hellgate London artbook? fucking sweet, I need scans or pics of that content yo.
I lurrrrvvvveeee Paladins/guardian/blademasters.

*sadly the best and only playable class is a guardian (armor buff and critical) and an engineer (heavy armor and long range)

Well, we have a tech thread to help with its use and whatnot, and MIDI equipment tends to be discussed often there. So it shouldn't be too much of a problem (and a lot faster than reading that dense-ass manual :V)

And we wonder who sent that...*looks at synths on desk :derp:*

Twas about two weeks ago that I received
(http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/zmsimages/cpss-package.jpg)
a package from Japan. According to the Customs notes, it included three toys, two CDs and a book. And so I began to wait.

And then, at 12:02 am, I opened the package and looked inside, and, within:

(http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/zmsimages/cpss-udonge.jpg)
An Udonge figurine! Yeah~! Oh, hey, I can see her panties. >_>;;

(http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/zmsimages/cpss-eva06.jpg)
A figurine of Eva-06 from Rebuild of Eva, sweeet...

(http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/zmsimages/cpss-sanae.jpg)
A Sanae figurine with interchangeable parts for poses and expressions and such. I'm not going to remove her from her box juuust yet. Unlike Udonge she has bloomers on underneath.

(http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/zmsimages/cpss-midnightexpress-front.jpg)(http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/zmsimages/cpss-midnightexpress-back.jpg)
A copy of the Midnight Express album (Woot, Flandre on the front, Rumia on the back!), also got a separate CD with backups for it.

(http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/zmsimages/cpss-youmualbum.jpg)
An album with Youmu on the cover, sadly I don't know the album's name because it's not written in English.

And, lastly...

...

Life of Maid vol. 3! YESSS!! I don't know if I'll ever take it out of the foil, considering the translations for the 4komas are already on Danbooru.

All, in all, awesome, awesome, awesome.  THANK YOU~ :*

Damn Zent, that's some haul! Someone here must really like you.

I got a sweet Gurren Lagann patch, and a jar each of apple butter and apricot butter. In the card, the sender wrote a patch-and-butter-themed verse to Libera Me from Hell. Pictures forthcoming later today.

The sender withheld his/her name, but my expert detective skills indicate a very high likelihood of it being either MJP or triangles -- leaning toward MJP. Either way, thank you very much, mysterious gift-giver! Your generosity and lyrical talent are greatly appreciated.

So, as I said, the package came a few days ago, to my laboratory (probably because they couldn't find me at the dormitory).

(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4605/imag0633f.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/233/imag0633f.jpg/)
So today I open it, and first there is a mysterious bunch of green plastic foam...

And here it is, a heart made out of gears!
Absolutely amazing! I thought it was kind of being too picky/hopeful when I said in my sign-up that I would  like something kitsch that was also steampunk-ish. But that was simply perfect. It's already placed in the "decorative mess" of my room's desk. Thank you, Massachusetts person!

Oh boy it's Christmas o'clock :toot:

My package was from Germany!  Let's take a look inside the very-well secured box!
(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad97/MJPByron/MotK%20Secret%20Santa%202011/IMG_20111225_075120.jpg)
They're individually wrapped!  Yay more fun to open!

First off, a closeup of legit German choco-santa mmmmmm....
pulling a Mami because MJP can't aim the cameraphone  :derp:
(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad97/MJPByron/MotK%20Secret%20Santa%202011/IMG_20111225_075136.jpg)

Let's open the smallest one first
(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad97/MJPByron/MotK%20Secret%20Santa%202011/IMG_20111225_075149.jpg)
A Rammstein CD!
triangles: Look they're Beach Boys how happy!
MJP: They're not The Beach Boys.

Next up, the other CDish looking thing
(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad97/MJPByron/MotK%20Secret%20Santa%202011/IMG_20111225_075221.jpg)
Another German music CD!  I don't know the band but it looked like a rock/metal band (my favorite type of musics!) and I'm listening to it right now.
triangles: This is cool music!  I have no idea what they're saying.
MJP: Probably "kill all the Jews."
triangles: You're a terrible person.

Finally the larger soft package...
(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad97/MJPByron/MotK%20Secret%20Santa%202011/IMG_20111225_075234.jpg)
A scarf!  It's nice and warm nifty!
I am 2 for 3 on getting scarves for MotK secret santa :V
But I love scarves so it's a-ok!

My Secret Santa already revealed himself to me, so thanks Dorakyura  :D

A double poster!  A key visual from Nanoha Movie the 1st and an animu I don't recognize.  All I know is that the nonrecognized one involves animu girl butt, so now it's just a matter of choosing which one to display prominently in our bedroom, within triangles' sight.
Both of them

A hachimaki!  (That's a HEADBAND for all you fools who are unfamiliar with the great and ancient culture of glorious Nippon)
I put on my Serious Concentration Face for this one because I'm 99.99999999 (repeating decimal)% sure that it says "Manly Handsome Hebraic Badass of the West with Large Khram" but that .00000000000000000000001 % chance exists that it really means "study hard" or "work hard" or "honor your ancestors hard" or just "party hard."

Let me enlighten you: You now own a CD from one of the most popular and successful, if not *the* most successful and popular German rock bands. Which also shows Dora has good taste in music.
Just don't go translating the band name, it's kinda silly :V

lemme tell you right now i have never heard this before despite how glaringly obvious it should have been said long ago

(http://i.imgur.com/TZBA8.jpg)

Inside are packets of hot chocolate and homemade gingerbread cookies that are just really delicious. They're all broken, but that doesn't affect the taste lolol

(http://i.imgur.com/lvsgg.jpg)

And aaaaa it's a towel (as described on the box) with what looks like a hand-knitted Nazrin pattern! Fantastic!

I'm guessing it's Triangles because of the whole NJ and cookies and knitting thing, but whoever you are, thank you very much!

/me was at first a bit disappointed in the lack of package, briefly checks e-mail

...wait, what's this, I've supposedly recieved gifts on Steam?
...Rou sent Cthulhu Saves the World (from the little rock-paper-scissors game here), and someone (onions) has delivered Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Bastion! Except that I never received the gift notices, oddly, even though I was online at the time - Steam must have been having issues or something. I had to ask Rou to send his again, and replied to onions via e-mail to do the same (and sent a friend invite).

Apparently instead of a physical package I get software gifts, but they look quite fun and I'll definitely be playing those after repairing my Win7 install.

Many thanks!

EDIT: Oh, here's the little message (same for both gifts) that he sent me (part was censored out as it alluded to address):

I sent the package late since I, uh, goofed a bit partway through and didn't finish stitching it until the 11th.  Then according to the tracking info it took a week to go the whopping 20 miles from my town to New York City before going to Canadaland.   I could have walked it there faster ::)  So sorry for the stress of waiting till the last minute! 

I think my SS was Jana just because of the name on my package.

The box I got was unmarked, which was quite suspicious. However, a telltale clue was all I would need for identification. That's for later, though. Lessee what we've got here. Oh, and sorry for crap cell phone pics. It's what I had on hand.
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/5685/69032025224687154640.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/718/69032025224687154640.jpg/)
SCIENCE! It actually describes my career pretty well since I've spent the last 10 years or so working in labs in some capacity. I've worked with human, bovine, and mouse blood, liver tissue, cancer cells, white blood cells, all sorts of chemicals, electrical equipment, mechanical testing devices, potent acids and bases,
and the occasional sewer water sample.
That, and my philosophy on so many things boils down to "poke it with a stick and see what happens". It doesn't help that I wanted to invest what money I got for Christmas toward this handy little book here (http://www.amazon.com/Book-Totally-Irresponsible-Science-Experiments/dp/076115020X). Hence, I'll soon be making my own potato gun, homemade taser, and thermite.
(http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/1159/69032041724687160270.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/850/69032041724687160270.jpg/)
And here we have a set of cups fashioned in the shape of Ctrl, Alt, and Del keys. A trio very close to my heart considering my 8 year hatelove affair with my last PC, which would freeze up upon trying to play games that required a lot of memory usage, any web browser, or if you started up Solitaire and a breeze came in through the window. I might not use such a function as much with my new PC, but I still overdo things every so often. The dimensions of the cups are listed at (6.5cm)^3, allowing for just short of 275mL of a beverage to fit in them.
(http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3472/69032054624687164710.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/838/69032054624687164710.jpg/)
Now to put these puppies to good use and live up to the statement on the shirt. Get over here, Delete.
(http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/6828/69032068324687169380.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/829/69032068324687169380.jpg/)
In this experiment, 120mL of egg nog were mixed with 60mL of frappuccino. The mixture was then heated to approximately 90?C via microwave oven (Sunbeam model no. SBM7500W 120V AC 60Hz single phase). Approximately 25g of hot chocolate mix was dissolved in the mixture, bringing the total volume up to approximately 210mL. Said mixture was air-cooled down to approximately 60?C before oral consumption. The end result is a beverage that provides the benefit of glucose for brain function, chocolate for increased serotonin secretion for feelings of JOOOOY, and caffeine, which acts as a metabolic stimulant to assist in processing the glucose and serotonin. Truly, a beverage that suits any scientist.

Now, according to the billing address on the receipt inside the box my schwag came in, this particular Secret Santa hails from Brazil. The only people I know from Brazil are Blanka and HakureiSM, so I'm going to point the blame at him. To further compound this evidence, the name on said billing address matches up with the delivery address in Haku's post above. Unfortunately, Haku didn't use either of his two Swiss bank accounts to purchase said goods, so it's easy to whittle down potential suspects. Either that, or someone was clever enough to open an account in his neck of the woods with the same name simply to make it easy to pin it on him, or Haku's opening someone else's present in order to deceive us all further. Petty vengeance seekers haven't been ruled out and nor have exceptional lengths to escape detection, either.

Thanks, bro.

You jerks know nothing about being secret about the Secret Santa :V
Specially you Nietz
In my defense, I assumed the secret part only went until you opened your gift.  :3

Too late. I have already sent you a full Moriya nendoroid set to do battle against your trio of Reimus.

well in terms of numbers Haku took the cup home,
I however, probably won by sheer number of erotic dakimakuras.
(though I never used them as yet and it is a mystery why I keep collecting them like stamps)

anyway, that was a better plushie than expected, we got these in the store being sold here but they are always....crumply for some reason and are dirtied up, how does one wash down a plushie?

Quality control and IMO everything looks derpy. At least stay the hell away from the Figutto line. I bought my Marisa new and one of the replaceable hands pretty much broke on me right out of the box, her left foot is rotated wrong and there's no way to fix it, her hat is pretty much guaranteed to fall off in a normal standing pose, and overall her limbs just feel way too brittle. The hands were easily fixable, but it's a problem if you buy something new and it starts screwing up instantaneously.

Incredibly late, I know. Anyway, I got a shirt and a Hisoutensoku OST from somebody from Washington. I guess they're good. :V. Thanks.

ALSO KANJOU THAT WIRE SCULPTURE IS SOMETHING I MADE. It's an Angel. Go hang it up or something. Comes with detachable wings and looks messy because I had some trouble removing another pair of wings which I put on it because it was originally Seihou Yuuka Kazami. :V. I still have her parasol.

Woulda fetched mine from the post office yesterday but it was a public holiday which I forgot about. I'll be picking it up after breakfast.

SS collected with no troubles from customs :D

[attach=1]

My partner's effort to have it reach me on time is appreciated.

[attach=2]

Santa Tewi? I'd bet she's here to clean me out more like :V

[attach=3]

Reisen only being good for her sex appeal. The drawing style and the :3 faces are a giveaway that it's JT. (I also mindhaxxed that it was you sending to me before it arrived)

[attach=4]

Onto the goodies for nomming!

[attach=5]

Tewi bling. Badges, cufflinks, earrings? I don't know where I want to wear them :V

[attach=6]

In closing, I'm sure this is JT himself on the squirrel's body :D

Thanks JT-bro for keeping my luck going in getting Tewi stuff for the third year in Secret Santa.

Here's what it looks like mid-turn. Pretty surrealistic.

Bizarre. Over two weeks later, and after several Steam invites, a few e-mails, a PM, and contacting of Steam support (and no reply after a few days), I still have no notification of having gotten my gifts through Steam, or even a response - just those e-mails saying I got said gifts on the 25th. No pending gifts to claim either, and inventory is empty outside TF2/Portal 2 items and 5 coupons from the holiday sale.

I presume that either the gift delivery was cancelled, Steam had issues at the time of sending, and/or that all my requests to re-send them have been pretty much ignored. This is very, very awkward; at the very least a response would've been nice....>:(
