I hope your person checks in. That's sorta fucked if they don't post up a thanks.
I know we place certain requirements on entering Secret Santa. Should something be added to the rules requiring that potential participants be "active" members?

Yeah...to me, the entire point of giving a gift is being able to see some receive it and their joy of getting that gift.

Great thread so far! Lots of great gifts being exchanged. 
I'm kicking myself for not participating but there's always next year. Congrats to all of the participants.

Had just about resigned myself to the fact I wouldn't be seeing anything til after christmas when BOOM knock at the door and santa himself is stood there holding out a parcel! Alright, it was just my fat postman but it might as well have been santa.
And here we have it:
Bottle of good quality Canadian Club whisky that I've never had a drink of before - really looking forward to this - exactly what I was hoping for. Also, 3 cubans! Don't know what to say about this, I'd have been over the moon with 1 but three is just awesome. Plus a nice boxed cigar cutter to go at 'em with. Smoky goodness.
Last but not least a quick close up on the custom MS Paint gift card - printed on nice glossy paper - really bit of class.
Renmauzo - you are a gentleman and a scholar - I can't thank you enough. Merry Christmas everyone!

Woohoo! Part two just came in!
Kit Kat's like my favourite chocolate bar ever...and I've always wanted to try out these exotic Kit Kat's. This should be interesting.
Thanks again dude! Can't wait to read the Interactive Story Buddy to my daughter. If she could talk, she'd thank you too.
EDIT: Forgot to add...I just opened the KitKat bag...omg!
I wouldn't even know where to start.

It was my pleasure stevenk
I'm really glad you like gifts, and really glad you got the package in time. I was worrying about it all day yesterday, lol.I did some research on the Canada Post website before hand and found that you can send any alcohol under a litre to the UK, but it's true that jevery country has their own import/export quirks were that kind of thing is concerned.

Hey folks. Quick update.
Jibbs- your person hasn't logged in for a bit. I messaged them and made sure they knew to post at least a thanks when they finally log in again.
Wataru- your gift has yet to arrive. When it shows up your gifted will post about it.
Arbormatt- your gift arrived fine, but your giftee is sock with the flu. Once he gets better he told me he will post in the thread.
Once again, thanks to everyone for participating. I'll make sure to keep dibs on this thread untill everything is all square away.
Merry Xmas!

YEAHHHHHHHH BOYEEEEEE!
Sorry it was tardy; the USPS was slammed for sure.
When one of the tips I received for you, was 'likes import games' I was off to my local mom & pop shop for the goodies. Had a blast digging them up, and SamSpirits because ng.com.
As far as the art work goes-that flying thing = your guess is as good as mine...my 4 yr old daughter assures me there are dinosaurs, penguins, and a Xmas volcano (?!?).
Better late than never. Enjoy!!

I'll admit, I always found the Secret Santa / White Elephant thing lame. I hated when we did it at office parties, I hated when my parents would do it with their friends and do the gag gifts. It was like an exercise in tasteless gift buying.
I've stayed out of NG's SS because of it, but I'm sitting here seeing all of these thoughtful and really generous gifts, and I'm just so impressed.
Everyone stepped up, did some truly great stuff, and this is something I want to be a part of next year.
From a Secret Santa Grinch, that's saying a lot.
Awesome stuff... Really, everyone really outdid anything I've ever seen before from a Secret Santa.
