true secret santa 2008
 
hello everyone

since most people are too busy, i will be organizing the secret santa this year. the idea is the same: you get a name and an adress from a person to make a gift for, you mail it to them in time and get a gift yourself.

if you are interested, pm me your adress before december 18th. (i will make a post when the secret santa subscribing is closed). you will get your name and adress the day after.

it will be a late sonic santa since i want to give everyone the time to make or buy something nice. let's say all presents should be in the mail on december 23rd, then we'll all have a late splash of christmas feel.

so, if you want to be in, or have any questions, please pm me!

edit: deadline to join delayed two days (december 18th) on request ;-)

Count me in folks.

ploesj 12.13.2008 11:08 AM

hooray! that's one :P

nicfit 12.13.2008 01:16 PM

I'm in, but I suggest to postpone the deadline to join, since it's the weekend and stuff a bunch of people could be out for better things than web-surfing and miss this thread till monday...nouh?

!@#$%! 12.13.2008 02:57 PM

sweet dear ploesj--

thank you for not making this thread about creepy internet people buying you undies. your choice renews my faith in humanity, even on the interwebs.

much love,

!@#$%!

ps- im not joining the list, but have fun

Florya 12.13.2008 03:34 PM

I'm in.

phoenix 12.13.2008 09:20 PM

I'll be in if its okay that I make rather than buy, I dont have a lot of $$. I am also inter-continental so while I couldpost on dec 23rd, whoever might not get it for another week or two after that..

that is perfectly fine, the last time i joined my gift was completely handmade too...

and about the mail slowing things down, i don't think it is a problem. if everybody makes a post when they have their present posted, we knoweveryone will get something eventually.

ploesj 12.15.2008 08:32 AM

BUMP!

ploesj 12.17.2008 03:51 AM

I would join in, but I've well and truely finished my Christmas shopping and, if possible, have no intention of stepping inside any shop again until early 2009.

Happy giving though, everyone.

I'm in, give my name to someone who could aid me in listening to some more out there stuff, since I find myself unable to accquire/find out about anything terribly obscure.

Sonic Youth 37 12.17.2008 06:21 PM

I'm in. PM to be sent momentarily.

ploesj 12.17.2008 06:28 PM

thanks!

ploesj 12.18.2008 01:54 PM

all done! the adresses have been sent around. if something went wrong and you didn't get anything, please let me know!

phoenix 12.19.2008 01:43 AM

I've been away all week sorry :(

If anyone is still wanting to do it and missing a partner (he he) I still can post.

ploesj 12.30.2008 04:08 PM

how's it going? i posted my present about a week ago, did anyone receive his or hers already?

!@#$%! 12.30.2008 04:10 PM

i was bad this year

 

ploesj 12.30.2008 04:17 PM

poor you..

i haven't had any christmas gift yet, except some money from my dad... we will open our presents here tomorrow.

!@#$%! 12.30.2008 04:20 PM

i was joking! i don't do christmas. we buy presents whenever there's money, and on birthdays.

MellySingsDoom 12.30.2008 04:25 PM

Nothing here yet....I posted my secret gift off just before Xmas.....

we never get big things for christmas, last year i had an umbrella and a flute... it's more because of the moment (everyone together for once blah blah)

Florya 01.08.2009 08:15 AM

So. Did anybody's secret santa gift turn up yet?

ploesj 01.08.2009 08:33 AM

ploesj 01.08.2009 10:08 AM

Sonic Youth 37 01.08.2009 10:54 AM

I was a bit late sending mine. I apologize. If it doesn't get there within the next two weeks, I'll gladly send something else.

phoenix 01.09.2009 08:21 AM

mine was late, sorry :( but I didnt want to just post what I'd done unfinished, I'd rather send late than send crappy. hopefully they will come post in here when they get it.

It arrived today! Cheers. Looking forward to hearing it. :)

I hope the one I sent got there OK.

Sonic Youth 37 01.16.2009 04:46 PM

I've still received nothing, but I think it's more to do with the mail sorting in the building being bad. I'm missing several things from over the holidays. I'm going to give them a good bitching at next week.
