BeeX Secret Santa!

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Tue Nov 24, 2009 17:36

Yes, it's that time of year again folks where you get to stalk your victim er, recipient and send them something amazing to make their Christmas rawk! :metul:

Rules of the game if you want to play are:

PM me your details(name & address) by December 1st with the subject line 'Secret Santa'.

I will be sending out your recipients details either that evening or the next day, you then have about a week or so to stalk them and buy them something truly amazing!

I reckon try to have your gift sent out by about the 15th of December so it gets there in plenty of time.

You may post in this thread, but you don't have to if you want to remain super secret and stalkerish!

I'm thinking of a cost limit of £5 - £10?

Over Christmas you take a photo of your gift and put it in this thread.

Any further thoughts or anything you think I've missed, feel free to post in this thread or drop me a PM.

We need a Santa Dimlie...

The "Canary Wharf Christmas Market" is selling chocolate dipped bananas. I'm a little confused.

When it comes to complaining about things being organised too early, you can fuck right off.

Pretty sure we did.

In case we didn't:

MYP, SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT YOUR FUCKING HONEYMOON.

Can people just buy me (good) presents and I don't have to do diddly squat?

Do you really expect people to have posted parcels by now? :facepalm:

Right, we can't have this. Chocolate covered bananas are an affront to our esteemed and much respected rating system. This must be stopped!

All of you, meet me in the forum foyer in 20 minutes with whatever you can lay your hands on. We're gonna have a good old fashioned lynching!

Craster gets shotgum, and Mr Chris can hide at the back and shout rude words at our enemies.

I have a desk fan and a small spoon. RAAAAAAH!

I have clementines.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Mon Nov 30, 2009 13:22

Final bump for this guys, I'm going to close it tonight and get details out to everyone by tomorrow.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 10:48

Closed now, PMs will be sent out shortly. If anyone who has asked to be included hasn't received one by this evening, let me know.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 12:23

All PMs have been sent now, I look forward to seeing the photographs over Christmas!

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Fri Dec 11, 2009 17:06

Just a reminder folks to try and get your gifts posted out by early next week if possible. I can confirm that two are already in the post!

Dear good little girls and boys,

The reason that I love receiving so many letters from those on my 'nice' lost is because, like the Royal Mail, sometimes things fall out of my sleigh and get trampled on by my reindeer, and I like to make sure that everything has arrived safely.

Now, it has come to my attention that perhaps some local BEEX Santas are a little concerned over whether the gifts they have sent have been safely received yet. Would those good little boys and girls that now safely have their Secret Santa gifts please consider just writing a little note (in this thread) to say they have been delivered so that all of the worrisome would-be Santas don't have to start questioning Rudolph to see if he noticed a parcel fall off of the sleigh somewhere over the Kent countryside.

Ho Ho Ho, and Merry Christmas!

DavPaz, this is getting ridiculous.

Dude - did you not check the post details? That's not a sock puppet, it's actually Santa!

Postman just came by

If my Secret Santa sent something knobbly-shaped in a black plastic bin-bag outer and with an orange address label and teeny tiny hand-writing then it has arrived safely

Kern · **Posted:** Fri Dec 18, 2009 11:18

Mine has arrived too. It will proudly sit under the tree as soon as I put one up. Thanks!

Ah, so Zardoz did sign up for this.

Malabelm · **Posted:** Fri Dec 18, 2009 14:03

Nothing has arrived here yet. I hope the one I sent arrives soon, too.

sdg · **Posted:** Fri Dec 18, 2009 14:10

Nothing here either and I'm a bit alarmed I've not heard anything about the one I sent...

You are in the back end of nowhere though, they have to wait for a passing bagpiper to wander along to make the last bit of the delivery afaik (you are in Ayr or Stranraer or the like, yes?)

TheAlbin0Kid · **Posted:** Fri Dec 18, 2009 14:41

Oh, and Malabar's mailvan probably drove too close to Liverpool and got nicked.

I have sent mine and I have yet to receive. There was a loud explosion at the local depot though.

That's better.

Mine is sent and I have received my presents! Cleverly sent by my secret santa directly from Amazon.

Which I opened because I didn't see it said "secret santa" on the outside of the package so I assumed it was an order of my own. Oops. I should have waited until Christmas. Sorry!

This is much appreciated -- I have one or two of the previous books in this series.

This looks awesome -- it's a half-dozen small packets of sand in various neon colours that can be immersed in water but still come out dry because of some coating they are treated with.

Thank you, secret santa! I shall hold back from playing with the sand or reading the book until Christmas, as some sort of token effort.

The postman has just been, and after hunting through my emails to try and work out what I'd ordered, I realised it could be my secret santa present. :facepalm:

If it's a mug, I won't be happy >:(
