The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2017 Thread!

[jvnshr]

I've just received my package. No info on the package regarding my Secret Santa, however using my methods of detection and investigation I managed to find a suspect :puffpipe: I don't know what's inside and have to wait until Christmas. Until then I have to repeat: I am not going to open it, I am not going to open it, I am not...
(I had to edit the picture to remove some stuff)

By the way, I have nice story to tell here once the whole event is over. Wait for it.

Oops, forgot to post. I sent mine out on Friday.

Heard some sleigh bells this morning and found SS box on the front porch. Will be eagerly awaiting Christmas to open it.

 

[woodsroad]

OK, that knocks us back to only 5 unsent.

Thank you, everyone!

Very hearty thanks and congrats to Dan for doing all this. It isn't just the organisation of the pairs, but also the way he has cajoled/encouraged and generally kept this bubbling along ever since.

Sent my gift package off today.

Got mine today!! (Actually delivered Saturday and held at the apartment office for me). Santa made his own label with a pic of Santa smoking a pipe - very cool. Can't wait to open it!

[jndyer]

My package has been sent by priority mail and should show up in the next couple of days. Sorry for the wait.

I feel bad posting this just after woodsroad posted the updated status list. Got mine yesterday, just in time for the first night of Hanukkah. I was away but, in what is now a tradition, I had my sister open it in a facetimed unboxing.

It was sent anonymous. I want to thank my Secret Santa for the tin of Mac Baren HH Latakia Flake and the John Cotton's No. 1, as well as the pipe cleaners (those bags always come in handy). Both great blends I enjoy. I'll post the pic later.

 

[woodsroad]

Edwin, that's a good thing! Thank you.

 

[condorlover1]

Well I finally caved in and opened my box. Firstly a big thank you to Pruss as it was exactly what I wanted. Two beautiful pieces of twist, a card and a novelty coke spoon, I mean pipe tamper! Pruss thank you very much and travel safely to New Zealand. I would post pictures but I am having technical issues since Photobucket changed the 'b' in their name to an 'f' and made posting pictures a nightmare. Before anyone sends me a long message about using another service I will figure it out over the holidays - eventually! Have a wonderful and festive season and thank you Dan for organizing this whole thing.

 

[woodsroad]

You are welcome, Simon.
By the way, we will be having an Easter gift exchange as well. I thought it would be nice, though if we could exchange live animals instead of tobacco, in keeping with the tenor of the holiday. I say we limit the exchange to no more than can fit in a Large Flat Rate Box. That would leave us open to wild game such as fox and beaver, as well as domesticated creatures such as cats, small dogs, raptors and suckling pot-bellied pigs.
Can I get a second on this?
