CL from ON, Canada, I picked up some gifts for you today and ordered some stuff online too! One of them won't get here for a while but I think you'll really like it so I decided to order it anyways, I hope that's okay! (please don't worry!) I'll post again when I ship your stuff, it should only take about 5 days to get to you once stuff arrives so hopefully the item I ordered arrives a bit faster than stated at checkout (as sometimes they do).

because of #1, i would say no. i also have only been mentioned once but have multiple santas, and someone last thread admitted to making initials up. so it is not useful as a measure of who may or may not be grinched.

i would wait until the organizers have gotten gulls whose santas dropped rematched, and until another week has passed, before beginning to worry over grinching.

I wouldn't mind some if it's more convenient for you and/or you think I would like it--I'll treasure basically anything. But truth be told, I don't really wear perfume much so if it came between, say, an accessory or perfume, I'd probably pick the accessory.

Just a heads up to anyone who got a JM from Cali, my JM was sent to me with wrong info (right name, wrong address, wrong wishlist) because Helper missed out a period in her name when sending initial emails (defaulting to a different entry completely).

as an IH, an uncommon initial combo, seeing an unanswered callout to an IH from a different state gave me concern that something like that may have happened with some anons' entries. there was a mixup with an anon in England and an anon in Mexico last year that was quite a kerfluffle.

i am not sure if it would help take some anxiety out of the process, but i will try to post a collage of giftees' interests with their initials and location so if there is a mismatch, they might see it and say, "This looks like me, but I'm not even in that country!"

after which i will contact the helper for clarification

To >>9257996 sorry I didn't reply in the last thread! I'm fine with both book themed and motifs (But if possible avoid things with crosses on it, not for religious reasons, it's just odd around here) I really love Terry Pratchett and most other fantasy books. I also love the classics like Jane Austen stuff and Ann of Green Gables.
Chocolate bars should be fine! It's already cold-ish here so they should be fine and even if they do melt I'm okay with that, it might just be a good idea to wrap them in a bag so they don;t melt on anything.
A cushion would actually be really great! I don't know how you knew I need cushions but I'm always on the lookout for cute ones.

You remind me of my mother, anon. Even now as a grown fucking adult, she puts together a stocking each for me and my brother, and I can usually tell from the gifts she's chosen that she has been picking stuff out for the stockings all year long (e.g. I'll know she got a particular item on a specific trip somewhere that was 7 months ago).

BD from the UK and BB from WV, i'm really sorry but I have an (unexpected) trip for the next month to take care of my grandmother. Unfortunately some stuff I ordered - including main gifts - hasn't arrived yet so i was wondering if you would prefer a smaller package (still in the price bracket don't worry) or if it would be okay to receive your gift a little after christmas?

Welp, I just spent $30 on one part of the gift for my giftee in the $10-$15 price range, and I still have so many more ideas of things to buy. It's so much easier to spend money on someone that isn't me....plus buying from sites I like for other people gives me an excuse to sneak in a few items for myself as well!

You're in my 50+ bracket but please don't worry that I can't do online! I'll do my best to spoil you <3 Your list of interests gave me a good idea of what you like so I hope you don't feel anxious. No promises of what your final gift is since I'm still planning but I'm thinking of some branded things that will work well in your closet even if it's not lolita (e.g. a loliable brand bag or smth idk). I'll keep what you just mentioned in mind though.

Also it's not really that I can't but I'm just having some horror-story-level problems with my paypal right now. They double charged my bank for my 11/11 order (around $400 usd) and I've been trying to dispute and call but honestly I'm just getting frustrated and annoyed at this point and don't want to use paypal until it's settled.

What >>9262130 said. The purpose of secret santa is not getting something that you know you will love. That's what shopping for yourself do. Secret Santa is the joy of giving and receiving surprises, not the joy of giving and receiving what you want.

I feel like you are completely forgetting the cheer in Christmas and too selfish.
I would honestly be so happy if family got me gifts that skirts my aesthetics and I never use, it really means that they put thought into what they hope I would like. Your Santa should just paypal you $50 dollars so that you can get exactly what you want. She seems to be having really fun shopping for her giftees and you're kind of spoiling that excitement?

Just bite the bullet on this one, be generous and pretend to give a shit about someone else this year, and next year, just focus on yourself.

"I'm downgrading someone elses gift, because it's entirely about meeeeee"
You just advertised that you are (admittedly lightly) punishing one person, because you might not get exactly what you want from another person. If you're gonna count the pennies like this, then just don't get involved next time. That's all. If you NEEED your gift to meet such a specific criteria, then just buy it for yourself. Being limited in how someone can spend their money is significantly different than CHOOSING to shortchange someone out of spite. One is a choice, the other, a limitation. One is kinda malicious, the other is the best they can do.


Not trying to shit on you friend, but you've got to see that it's wrong to operate like this. If you won't be happy unless you get *this specific thing* then what's the point of being a part of this in the first place? Who knows, your gifts might be WAY radder than what you were hoping to get. and even if it isn't, big dang-diddly deal. :) If you do not like surprises, then Secret Santas are just not for you. and that's okay! This has always operated more like a guided blindbox. You know the risks when you buy a blindbox. So we're letting you know now, these are the risks of Secret Santa. If you're not in to that, then it's just not for you. :)

I hope so! I went out today and got some boxes for gifts. I'm really fond of the big book shaped ones, and I hope my giftees will be too. Each of them were mostly classic/gothic like me. The smaller paper boxes were found in one of those random assortment baggies at a thrift store, I wish I knew the source on them. They're really cute.

Personal preference though, I use brushes a lot more than blenders and if you're getting nail polish, any color but pink and the weirder the better!

Seriously this. They were so wrapped up in "muh $50 non-burando" that they didn't even realize anon said they had gotten all that without even GETTING to their main gift yet. That's $50 worth of stuff plus whatever big gift they're getting.

This is why I didn't pick the $50+ bracket. I'm going overbudget for my $10-15 tier anons but they're only expecting little trinkets so anything past that is going to make their Christmas. They're not greedy for some massive gift and won't be disappointed if they don't get it.

Ahhhh I'm so happy, hi santa-anon! Favourite DC characters would be Robin (Dick & Damian), Batman, Superman and Superboy, Deathstroke, Jason Todd, Flash (Wally and Barry), Zatanna, Black Canary, Question, and Wonder Woman. I love Batman: The Animated Series, Young Justice, and Justice League and JLU. I like DC animated movies where they have the signature DC art style, not the anime or classic-comic aesthetic. Things like shirts, notebooks, and stickers of DC would be appreciated!

As for Gameboy Advanced games, I have Kirby and Mario and had Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy but lost them lol. One I really wanted for a while was the Aladdin game. If these ideas aren't enough, I like the original four seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Midorima from KnB. Anything that lights up, glows in the dark (like chill night lights that run on batteries) I will love. I also love animals like dogs, cats, geckos, birds, and Re-ment so anything small and cute will instantly win my heart.

Also, sorry, I know I talk a lot but I'm just so psyched you mentioned me and I wanna be specific and make shopping easy as I can for you lol. If you'd like, please talk about yourself and your interests if you're sending a card along!

OK sooooo I put a piece of string around my head in the middle of my forehead and it's 22 inches long. Is this how to measure head size? Does this help? This is a fabulous question.

All good santa-anon! I'd love a shipping update, and not too worried about the tracking number. Thanks so much for all the thought you're putting into it!

Oh my goodness, that's so soon!! I'm super excited! I'm just waiting on the gifts I ordered on 11/11 to arrive, then I can send mine out, too!

Hey anons who haven't heard from their secret santas or don't have gifts yet, don't fret. Its not even December yet. You'll hear from them and get your gifts in time.

Anyone else waiting on their Secret Santa gifts to arrive from Ali/Taobao/Rakuten/etc?

I keep refreshing my cart information from my Shopping Service waiting to see when it gets to them for proof photos.

Do you mind sharing the name of the seller?

I keep checking Ali every few days even though I know the tracking isn't any help. I've pretty much given up on my filler items arriving on time.

Hey my giftees, JM from Ontario and EC from NZ!

JM: I've just received your brand main piece today - it's magnificent, but extremely small in size for a gift. There is another little something for you coming my way, but I expect it to be even smaller than that. I wonder if you'd like me to add something voluminous as a filler, like a snack maybe? I could also offer you a framed drawing or something handmade to suit your style, but I doubt you'd like that as you've said "no" to handmade iirc.

EC: I've got you half sorted out, but it seems that 85% of your gift will be handmade! Don't worry though, I won't go cheap on you. And there is a question I've got, you told me you like "forestry" colors - do you have any favorite hues, or maybe particular shades that you find inspiring? Maybe there is something you've been looking for? I've got something pretty in mind for you, but it's just so difficult to decide!

No problem, done for shopping now but will update later when I ship out. I'll be lurking the threads though so if you or Anais have any questions, just ask!

Hi anon, I'm JM from QC. Figures are fine, but I should mention (at the risk of sounding picky) I'm not fond of prize figures.

yeah, december is gonna be cray-cray for me, so I just wanted to get it out ASAP. I tend to forget the days...so it's just best to be on top of it.

EC here! I am so excited and don't fret, I love handmade stuff! I'm a big fan of russet-y reds and teals and also more rich/warm toned browns! For stuff in particular, I have been looking for a cute new wallet or coin pouch...?

ME of FL, good news!
A girl was selling locally and I found an item I think you'll like :) It's totally unused so I think it'll work out after all!

What other anons listed and from this cool local thrift/antique/art store in my town. It's almost like flea market but you only deal with one vendor when you check out. I bought my secret Santa a vintage pin and some stuff with seagulls on it

LT from VIC congrats on the new job! Should I still send your gift to your old or new address?

Also AH from Australia: my friend is going to Japan and I have given her money for gifts so parcels might arrive a bit late but will definitely get there!

SG from UK are your kimono themes/colours similar to your lolita wardrobe? Also do you prefer the hairstick or floral clip kind of kanzashi?
