If you don't think your online purchases will arrive before the shipping date please let us know! We can work around it, but going silent is not good! Please remember there are likely to be extra delays on top of the usual Christmas postage chaos due to the Covid situations.

Waiting on just one more present to shove in my box for my match but I've gotten impatient so I have wrapped everything else up already. Anyone else feel like even though they bought in the minimum amount or they went a lil over budget it's not enough in the box?

Thirding. I didn't get any fillers due to not wanting to send food or anything that might be unwanted but I really feel like I didn't get a large amount of gifts. Last year someone got me nearly a dozen things in one of my tiers so by comparison I feel like it's not enough.

>> No.10502735

>>10502690
yep, one of the items alone was enough for my tier, but because it's secondhand i feel like it can be valued wildly differently depending on the person looking at it. so i got more stuff, but it's also secondhand, so the self-doubt continues.

Christmas is almost a secular holiday too these days for some people desu. I know Jews who celebrate Christmas and Hannukah, especially if they're in reltionships where they have families with mixed religious origins where they want to celebrate with both sides of the family. Maybe Muslims are less likely to do it but most people in general like the spirit of giving and being around friends and family and seeing pretty lights and winter, etc.

you guys are so mean. it's the holiday season be nice or your gifts will get lost in the mail. it shouldn't matter if thanksgiving is a north america thing. like the name suggests, it's the spirit of being thankful for what you have and I think you three anons could use some of that holiday spirit.

desu I always hated xmas. i don't like the feeling that you have to buy things for people. i dunno if you really cared when you come across an item or know they really want something you shouldn't have to wait for a holiday to get it for them. if you're able to that is, which makes xmas even worst because you shouldn't be pressured into buying stuff when you're not financially able to. xmas is way more 'american' than thanksgiving where it forces you to buy buy buy!

You will also find a link to the rules and FAQ document, which will probably make you more prepared for next year. I lurked these threads for a year before I committed to joining, and it helps seeing what other people are sending and receiving in the different tiers. As you will be able to read in the rules you have to do a good exchange in a lower tier before being allowed in the higher ones. I hope you start your journey next year!

Having a slight dilemma - I bought all my gifts the week matches were sent out and I finally had the last two items arrive today. However I thought they were going to take a bit longer, and so a week or so ago I saw a little accessory in my match’s favourite colours and style online and bought it. It was pretty cheap (I don’t consider it part of the actual gift value) and might not arrive for a while. Do I ship now or wait until it arrives?

It’s my first year and I need sone advice on card matches. I naïvely thought it was literally just a card exchange but now I realize it’s normal to include smaller stuff with it. But how much? Would my match be disappointed if it’s just a few stickers and a pretty postcard (along with a hand written Christmas card)? I’m sending this to someone on another continent and if I do any more it would be a package not a letter and shipping cost would go way up. Then I feel like if I’m going to be sending a package I might as well start including something better than just some stickers and then I start including other things and now I realize that I’d actually just sending them a parcel of gifts appropriate for the $20 tier and that’s maybe more than the card tier warrants. Also a standard postage package would take forever (possibly too long) and I don’t want to pay for the expensive fast shipping just to give them a key chain and silly stuff like that. Any advice?

>> No.10504975

>>10504964
You aren't naïve for thinking that. Card tier is just that: cards. Include a nice Christmas card with a genuine letter. Stickers are a great addition.

There are people who think it's rude to send what the actual tier dictates (see the anon who got jumped on for saying they spent just above the minimum for their tier). It's ridiculous.

>> No.10504976

>>10504964
Think thin- stickers, face masks, light keychains. Just try and make it personal to their interests if you can.

I actually sent big enough items to make it a small package and dropped 20 bucks for my 2 cards in shipping yesterday. They were only 4 oz too- I’m glad I didn’t put any candy in like I was going to originally.

All of those things would make it not a letter and I have to pay for standard postage. Standard postage to another continent is $15 and it’s untracked. The tracked method is $37. That’s way more than the items are even worth. That’s the dilemma I’m in. The types of items that seem appropriate to send make the item not mailable as a letter

It's not naïve to think it's just a card exchange because it is. Just that gulls can be pretty giving when the holidays hit and usually in cards you add something small just as a bonus. Here's a list of things I've gotten/given over the past few years to help without breaking the bank.

Sorry maybe I didn’t word it right. What I mean is things that will fit in a standard envelope and not weigh much. There’s a little leeway with weight so long as the envelope isn’t bulky/misshapen.

I’m sending cards with gifts on bubble envelopes. I always do that with my penpals and allows me to throw anything there, I already sent bracelets, hairclips, small notebooks, and other tiny things to penpals just fine this way, and I always pay for it as a normal letter.
So I rec you, try this trick.

I know gifts are not necessary for cards, but I think is nice to put some care into them. (or maybe just because I live in a shitty country and I didn't want to trouble my matches on higher tiers so I decided to do not participate this year) but I had a lot of fun trying to spoil a bit my gulls, I hope they like it.

As long as there's any effort or thought put into it (handwritten message, or cute note about shared interests, or card art/theme that matches interests I listed, etc) I am thrilled. I think especially seeing an overseas postmark people know not to expect more for the tier. On my end it just makes me happy to shop for small flat extras so it's a double indulgence (getting sweet cards, sending nice things).

I started wrapping gifts today and it feels so fun and festive already!

Also a small heads up, if you receive a gift wrapped in pic related its from me, 8008, and you're participating in something grand. My father bought this fat roll of wrapping paper once, thinking it was a good idea. That roll has now lasted 20+ years, and he hates it with a passion. I own it now, and valiantly work my way towards finishing it off someday. Each gift wrapped with this paper is one step closer to that momentous goal!

>> No.10505387

Must be one huge roll of paper.

>> No.10505390

>>10505387
It WAS a huge roll of paper. It is close to completion now, if you ask me. Nowadays it looks pretty normal, but I can't vouch for how big it was when it was new. I was a literal child, and everything seems bigger when you are small.

>> No.10505392

>>10505385
I'm gifting to you, and this made me laugh - I sadly don't have access to it but my grandma has been wrapping my Christmas presents in the same paper since I was about 3, and my brother also has his own roll from her that's lasted as long. Probably bought from the same manufacturer.

Question. Would you want to take out any extra freebie item sent by a shop, i.e. a sticker, pin, keychain, if there's a chance your match could find what shop it was? I'm the believer of not wanting someone to find out how much an item cost for presents but I also think the freebie is a very cute item and think maybe my match would enjoy it.

>> No.10505494

>>10505487
i would include the freebie. i believe in taking the price tags off so that the giftee doesn't HAVE to stress and think about the price, not to stop them if they are nosey and WANT to think about the price.

5177 -

There's a little surprise I wanted to add to your gift from taobao, but the SS messed up and will need to exchange one of the items so it'll be another week minimum to even ship the order, and then a month+ to arrive to me even with EMS.
(The whole order with the SS has been a mess and taken a long time).

It's only small and about 3% of your present (extra to the tier), but I hope you'll like it so it's something I really want to send it to you.

It probably won't arrive until Christmas or New Year's at this rate, maybe even later with Corona/Christmas snail speed, so are you happy with me to ship it out to you later once I have it?

The rest & main parts of your gift will be shipped to you soon once they arrive from Japan! In the next couple of weeks max I hope~

So sorry about this!
I know it would have been better as a whole package, even though it's just a small part compared to the rest.

I already wrapped everything, just waiting eagerly for a confirmation that nothing on that order was out of stock so I know it's safe to send away.

Honestly just ask your person if they dont mind waiting.
If it was me I wouldn't mind waiting or getting some of my gift and the rest later as long as the organizers are aware. I'd rather get it then not get it at all. That's just me. Ask your giftee!

Wrapped up all the presents and packaged them yesterday, had a few gifts and cards so it took a whole day and the post office closed by the time I finished.

Any other gull find it takes a long time to get the parcels ready? From wrapping to writing notes. Or am I just very slow?

Yes!! Me too. I packaged everything nicely in tissue paper and little bags, then into a large bag, then realized I wanted to add notes about certain items so I had to open everything up again to see which was which and add the notes to them... lol. then I covered the entire wrapped package with festive duct tape which took even more time lmao

Apparently it failed security checks? Which is super annoying as it was actually split into 2 packages, sent at the same time and BOTH have failed the check???!! I'm pissed cos it has all the filler (and a few big things) for my cards and gifts which look sad and lackluster without it.

This whole event I have had problem after problem after problem with my gifts. (I was also the Anon who got only a box with nothing inside for one item, also bought something new with tags to have it arrive with a major damage) I'm not even pissed about the money..

WELL. I had a covid contact/potential exposure. I'm 99% sure I'm fine but I'm not allowed to go to the post office for 7-10 days. I only had card matches I hadn't sent yet, but they all had little gifts in them that mean I can't just put them in the letter slot and now I don't know what to do. I could take apart the cards to send with no gifts or send things a bit late but that feels shitty. Or send cards now and wait a week to send the rest??? I have no friends or family that could go and pay for the packages for me (just moved to a new region).

I just don't know :( i almost never leave the house so this is extra frustrating. It's just cards but still, I was looking forward to this.

I was so excited with everything already, as I absolutely love the ring and brooch. Then Kumya was the last I opened and that little bear took my breath away. All of your gifts were really well thought out, personal and adorable, and your note made me smile. I put on the socks as soon as I took the photo, they are so soft! And the little assorted stationary papers are going to be so fun to use!!!

Santa #5274 I got your package today, thank you so so much!! I really love it! The skirt is obviously adorable and super versatile, I’m going to be able to wear it with a ton of different things in my wardrobe. I love the clothes dryer hanger thing and I actually really needed one instead of draping my drying lolita socks everywhere haha. The Q-pot necklace is gorgeous and matches the skirt! It’s all really really great and I adore Swimmer but I never mentioned it so the Swimmer items made me happy. But the cherry on top of the sundae was the drawing that you did of me!

#3497 ($100+). & #2284 ($50 - $75), I'm really sorry but I have not shipped your gifts yet :( The huge order from my SS containing your main gifts have still not arrived in my country. I did the order already in October when the matches were sent out but there were some setbacks with some items being slow to arrive and then the package getting resent back to my SS from their country's customs. Which in all made me loose ≈ 2-3 weeks. Now it is on it's way to me with EMS which departed 26th of November and I hope the package will show up next week (usually does not takes more 2-3 weeks after it has been delivered to air-service) but then there will be probably a few more days for custom clearance in my country. I have got all the small filler items for your gifts but it feels stupid to send out without the main ones.

>#4618 from #6952 - $50-75 tier

First off, I will completely forgive the lack of shoes and I am SO excited to work my way up to Deathscythe Hell! I'm from the era where they had those "I built my Gundam in XX hours!" commercials advertising Gundam kits and as a teen I never got to get one before they stopped selling them in local stores and Deathscythe Hell was always on my want list. I think I made a totally inhuman noise of delight when I opened the last package and found it.

Also thank you SO much for including a tool kit! I had some of the supplies already like the tweezers from other DIY projects but not anything else so that'll come in handy so much.

I'm also majorly in love with the tshirts. I'm not quite sure that the blue one is (but I dig it!) but I love the Among Us one once I realized what it was. Haha I've even curious to read the yaoi manga you slipped in. The summary definitely is a wild ride. The socks aren't really my preferred cut for personal use but they'd make great nanchatte socks so thank you for those as well, I'd never even known bamboo socks were a thing!

Overall thank you SO much and it seems you went above and beyond to spoil me so I hope one of your Santas spoils you just as much in return.

Organizers sent me my tracking number for >>10515256 so I could see when UPS was delivering it.

Cool! That's a lil extra added plus. I'll keep an eye on my email then too for hopefully a tracking number too if I don't see any update from my SS

2154, I shipped your 30-40 tier and sent organisers the tracking number earlier! Same with my card match for 4255!

No mentions of my ID in the threads and no mail from the organisers yet, now I’m kinda nervous...

Same, it’s fine if it’s a bit late, I just wish I knew what’s going on.

I got your package and it's amazing, thank you so much! This is my first time participating and I was not expecting it to be this good, and I was definitely not expecting my Santa to be someone I knew IRL! I'm so happy with all of it, even though I lost my title of "All Taobao Lolita" because this is my first brand item. JK JK, you know that I don't care where an item comes from as long as I like it, and that's definitely the case here. I'm so damn happy I'm rambling so let me just wrap it up here. Thank you once more! <3

>>10512342 I'm very happy you like it! And sorry for accidentally messing up a little, like forgetting to send the tracking, and not including the ID, oops. It arrived early because I was worried the international shipping would take ages, but it turns out it went surprisingly fast this time.

Also I'm not great at taking pictures so if someone wants to see something in detail, just let me know and I'll make some additional ones! :)

Scrolling down the mail to see my matches and seeing a familiar name for my 30-40$ tier gift really made my Secret Santa that little bit more exciting! I'm so glad you like everything, can't wait to see you coord the skirt :)

>Anyone with match #2154 please check your emails!
I previously sent an address update to each of you but apparently some people have not received it, so it has been resent!

Please for the love of god, everyone, check your emails in general. I will email any updates/ tracking numbers/ issues to the email address you signed up with in the form. I received around 20 emails over night, so there will be a bunch of tracking numbers going out today too!

If youre late.. EMAIL US!!! Anyone who is late who hasn't emailed us as to why they are late will be getting angry emails and a sad face next to their names on our spreadsheet!!!!

Frick, my giftee's package was delivered two days ago and they haven't posted in the thread or acknowledged they've received it. Hope it's gotten there and hasn't been stolen :/

>> No.10515844

Just a question, I wasn't sure which email to send the tracking numbers to. I sent it to cgl salty snowball. I just got my tracking from the 2018 email. Should I forward the message to that one instead??

>> No.10515905

I have stuff over seas thats also really late . If you guys are in the same boat please just contact your matches so they know what's going on! It's stressful not knowing .

Santa, I just got your package and it is so sweet! The headdresses and head bows are absolutely gorgeous, I thought about the exact dress you wrote in the note for the blue one. Your drawings of my favs and I are super fricken cute, the chonk horse is adorable haha. Thank you so much for all the penguin goodies, you got items I wanted to pick up from daiso! Most of all you are so talented, I can’t believe you made the earrings, necklace and bracelets! The tuxedo Sam earrings will be put to great use. I could continue to blab on and on so I’ll just say thank you for being so thoughtful!
