I got my gifts today! So pumped. I got TWO RC helicopters, and a 20Q game. Someone here obviously has amazing tastes. I hope my gifts are just as well received, I spent more than the minimum :) They should be arriving by Friday!

^^ Very nicely wrapped, and with a friendly looking card. I'm impressed!

^^ Hah! Awesome. Seriously made me laugh out loud :p

^^ YES! Always good to see a booty go shake. Plus, I can finally prove to my girlfriend that she does *NOT* drive smoothly. :p

^^ Awesome drum stick holder! I don't know if my SS actually knows how good this one is. The popular design is a hard plastic cup with a clip at the end, which sucks. This one is cloth (neoprene?) which prevents your sticks from bouncing out when you drop them in, rattling, or making any noise when placing them down. Also, instead of a clip, it has a proper clamp, as it should! It won't fall off from vibrations, like a clip-on does. Woohoo! THIS IS REALLY NICE! Super excited. I change sticks/mallets a lot while playing, so this will give me another option! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

^^ Oh man. My heart was touched a little bit. Many years ago, my father gave me one of the large Leatherman SuperTool multi-tools. It was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten, and I still use it on a daily basis. The only bad thing about it, though, was that it is too big and heavy to comfortably carry everywhere at all times. This little Leatherman "Squirt" model packs a big punch in a little, key-chain sized package! I've already been using it for all sorts of stuff. I swear by Leatherman multi-tools, so this is seriously an AMAZING gift. I have no idea how the hell you figured this one out! It's now a permanent addition to my keychain :D

I still get a big smile when I think about these gifts. Thank you so much, Secret Santa! You really outdid yourself!

I already had Niner and Maggie. ;)

Thanks SS, and Happy Hanukah!

I got a tube of Arctic Alumina, (Which my fuckin' Beagle chewed up before I got a chance to use it)
a long-sleeve shirt that reads "No, I won't fix your computer.",
a bad-ass caped, screaming monkey and 8GB of G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3-1600!

I was like "HOLYSHITZOMGWTFBBQ!!!" :D
Many thanks, SS!

Also, I've had a bit of a goof with the gift I sent. I sent it directly from Amazon with their gift-wrapping service and enclosed a note that mentions what the gift is... Little did I realize that they probably don't wrap the note with the gift. Doh!

I wish I participated this year, but the banks have not been kind. And, now that I can it's all over. :(

I will say like slugg, that last year the card was the best part even though the gifts were perfect.

When's the next one? :sneaky:

I broke down and opened mine tonight.

First off:

Freaking awesome. I had been wanting this since it came out and asked my family for it. They immediately shot it down because it was too stupid. REALLY happy that I was able to get it.

Second:

I had mentioned that I like to cook so my SS sent me this. It is amazing! I have all ready started reading it and have learned a few new things. More importantly, it tells why things happen when cooking so you understand how to get the results that you want.

Thanks SS!! Whomever you are, you did an absolutely wonderful job!!!

Edit: Hmm, PMs aren't sending. I spoke with your SS, and your gifts are on their way. If you don't get them today then you will get them in the near future. They had an issue come up beyond their control.
