Anandtech OT Secret Santa 2014 Sign-Up Thread!!!!

[Tr4nd]

This sounds fun!

This is actually the first time I saw a forum doing a secret santa, then again I'm not on forums often... too bad I'm out of the country at the moment, maybe I could join next year

I hope I get someone fun. I found a great website with edible double sided dongs!

Is there a difference between a double sided and a double ended dong?

 

[mcurphy]

I decided to finally sign up for the first time. I've seen this thread for years, and it always sounds like fun!

 

[wangotango]

Sounds cool.

 

[KeithTalent]

I'm in again. Just posting to remind myself to fill out the form when I get home.

As with before I am happy to ship outside of Canada.

[minendo]

Count me in yet again.

 

[SKORPI0]

I'm in again (despite never getting any acknowledgment what-so-ever from my recipient last year ).

That's the bad part I hate on this SS, no thank you at all. How hard is it to post a pic of something you got from a complete stranger? To me, it's the thought that counts, not what they actually gave and how much it cost. Most of the times I've ending up spending more that what I received in return. Am I mad?, not at all. But giving is the fun part to me. Hopefully I'm paired with someone I can research on based on their numerous post, not someone who has rarely posted or just joined the forum (< a year).

Forgot to specify I'm happy to ship to Canada (was it a form option? I went through it quick) or anywhere outside U.S..
Have to use up these customs envelopes somehow, lol.

That's sadly the only part we can't control.

There is should been an agreement that to join the OT-SS, the recipient is to acknowledge and thank the giver (after the reveal).
Or even better, not to reveal at all, let people wonder who is who. Just OP and Jeff (amdskip) will know. ^_^

You would think the first would be a given.

Yeah, plus forced gratitude just isn't the same.

I actually went all out and got him some really cool stuff too (including my patented autographed framed photo!).

Oh well...who's my victim this year? :twisted:

 

[wangotango]

Well, I was looking forward to it initially but then I see posts after about perverted things and now I'm concerned. My wife would not understand a blow up doll or benwall ball at all.

I hope to hit the mark with a well thought out gift. I would never premeditate putting someone in a potential marital conflict. Life presents those challenges daily.

I think Amazon Gift Cards are awesome. You can get whatever you want. It may not be fun for some as a plastic rug burn on the johnson but the home will be stable

 

[datalink7]

In again

 

[SunnyD]

Hey Marty - are you guys still doing it regionally?

Given that most everything gets shipped USPS Priority, there's no difference for someone shipping one state over versus someone in FL shipping to Alaska for, example (when it comes to flat rate boxes at least). I personally wouldn't mind getting any random person pretty much anywhere since I know shipping is going to cost me around $12-15 anyway no matter where it's going.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Wangotango, your wife can relax. Most are joking. Don't think I've seen anyone complain about receiving a perverted gift.

SunnyD, that was initially the plan. What do you all think?

Cool.

 

[Anubis]

yea most are joking about the perverted gifts
I am not I seriously sent Nik the blow up sheep doll as a joke

he got other normal gifts as well

I also sent him a lump of coal that year before the sheep

 

[Darkstar757]

I am in!!!!

 

[Captante]

Count me in again!

SunnyD, that was initially the plan. What do you all think?

Depends on what this years giftee ends up wanting. Last years fit in a flat-rate box so it was a none-issue but if this years wants something bulky shipping could be a factor.

 

[KeithTalent]

I got X-Com The Enemy Within last year which I finally installed last night! Looking forward to playing it; looks cool.

My questionnaire for this year is now complete.

[Captante]

Thought I'd give this a bump ... any chance for a sticky?

 

[Sixguns]

How did I miss this? Will be signing up again this year later once I am off work and will have a better chance to fill out my like/dislike form

I got a giant dildo one year, complete with balls and a suction cup for those hands free moments. Great "gag" gift lol.
