YOU DIDN'T



OH MY GOD



I hope you have one of these for yourself already or I'll feel kind of bad (but still really really excited) It's a very stiff horizontal format book so it's hard to photograph the inside but it's super nice glossy prints of various chapter covers without text and some originals. It's really awesome to finally get to see the art in good physical form. Just, wow, I love it so much





I don't have a way to play these right now without blasting them to the whole house but I've spent a lot of time listening to some of these songs which makes me very excited for all the ones I haven't heard.
Both/all four of these gifts are fantastic thank you so much again

Awesome! I'm glad everything got there ok, and especially glad you like the gifts. And i totally had to peek inside that postcard book to make sure that i had found something cool (spoiler alert, i did).

I should have posted this a week and a half ago but been to busy with work, finals and rearranging my room.

I don't know who sent it, I don't remember much about Fullmetal Alchemist but I LOVE it anyways. Thanks for the bandana and the new fake name Jarther Rogue




Good stuff

I'm going to give it another week before I get my friend to ship out another round. I really hope the post office/customs didn't eat the packages like fauxtool wants to :ohdear:.

Pretty sure my gift hasn't arrived yet but I'm used to Secret Santa packages arriving late so I'm not terribly concerned.

A package arrives! Perfect timing too because I got off work early and we just got the kids down for a nap!. I'm not sure how it got here with all that whiteout on it though, I guess Santa just knew. Anyway let's open this guy up.



A letter from Santa! Thank you for considering the kids and my wife. :)



SNACK TIME!



We decided to try a little of everything and it's all good. The letter warned me about the Twiglets but I think I like those the most. Yum. My wife confiscated the Wagon Wheels so I don't believe I'll be having any of those. :rip:

Ok so what's next...

....

HOLY poo poo! IS THAT!?!?



OH MY GOD! IT IS!!!!



THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!





I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received. Thank you!

Up to you on the display, I don't really do posters. I just have a bioshock 2 poster and the skyrim map that came with the game up on my walls right now. There totally would have only been 4 of those posters if I didn't grab them from my friend's etsy page, so I got both sets pretty cheap. Glad you like everything though, Merry Christmas!

It's a christmas miracle! I was worried I'd miss the package because I went back to my hometown for xmas, but my wife was in and she received it and brought it over.

It came all the way from Murrka and it was beautifully packaged:



Fruit chews and savoury peanuts that were very popular with everyone. I've been reading Dagashi Kashi lately and these felt very fitting!



nice! This is just my sort of thing - super cool:


Finally, a wonderfully folded wee note:

Thanks so much for all the gifts and shipping them so far. I also received a gift of Vinland Saga on Kindle which is totally ace.

Biggest let down ever. I had a missed delivery card left in the mail box, so all excitedly I've been waiting for the post office to open back up so I can pick up the item. Turns out it was the HDD I had already picked up :(

It sucks living at the end of the world in a town 2500km from the nearest major city.

Oh no! I had ordered the HDD, I can see how that totally reads like I had gotten a HDD twice. Speaking of it. GUESS WHAT I GOT.

loving AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YES MY PRESENT!



Lots of cool One Piece stuff. Two figurines, stickers, a pack of playing cards a key ring and food (sharing that with my workmates, everyone loves the sweets, noodles are for me!). I have no idea how the food made it into Australia. My secret santa also paid a lot for shipping!

Thanks J-man! GF got jealous that I was so excited because I never get excited about her presents.

By the way, this was my first secret santa. Enjoyed it immensely.

Not only that, I got a Godzilla poster that i need to unfurl and hang up (sorry)
