    Radiation, thank you for making that list! Although I think Robert Khoo is missing from it?

    Just stole that list shamelessly from the OP.
    I'm also at work and behind work filters (constantly), so really sorry if I missed someones gift receiving post.

    Excellent. The final component should be here in a few days, then I can get everything sent out.

    Seeing everyone starting to get their gifts is filling me with preemptive Xmas cheer. I need it - law exams are coming. :P

    My last task will be buying wrapping paper. Do they sell video game themed paper, or am I going to have to design some and send it to the printers?

    Dear Santee,

    Please don't fret that other people are getting awesome presents and yours hasn't arrived yet. I just placed an order for 2/3rds of your presents from amazon. My wife and I are going to have fun making your box o' stuff. Because you live very close to me, I'll probably have everything out to you by the 2nd week of december. Amazon says to me by the 3rd, then I'll be shipping you a big box.

    Hope you enjoy these things which I do not yet have to give to you.

    Oh snap, it's like god damn Christmas around here right now.

    I went to the door to check if the mail was here, and boy howdy was it ever. Three packages for me, and also two padded envelopes. Even better, one of the packages is a secret santa gift! I don't know yet if it's from here or the SE++ SS, but I will soon find out.

    Also, one of the packages and one of the envelopes were secret santa gifts...but the other two things were for me >.>

    That's not so hard to find. All you have to do is is find that special someone who accepts you for who they are. And then cut their heart out.

    What I'm saying is that I guess I'll needs lots of ice to ship my present out.

    Santa- In case you need a better idea of what I like, my twitter name is hexican. While I'm at it, anyone here feel free to add, as I need more cool festive people on my feed.

    Santee- almost done! Just waiting for one more item to ship. They said it'll take a week, which means I have another week to look at the rest of what I have for you and go 'it's good, but does it scream Christmas?'

    Then I poke it with my sharp stick and find out that yes, it does.

    So, I've been (allegedly) Christmas shopping with LewieP's Mummy's Mummy today. She bought herself some boots, some spoons, some other stuff, and I bought 2 presents, one for LewieP's Sister, and one for you, Santee, cos I think (nearly) everyone loves these films, and so would love something from one, and (bonus for me) it doesn't weigh much!
    Box making and filling begins!

    Oh, and
    That would have been hilariously cruel.

    A PS3 box with Halo, beef jerky, and an American flag inside, along with a bottle of bleach.

    You missed out some books, cos, y'know ...

    They don't use Steam yet. Unless they have no PC or internets, I can't see someone refusing to use Steam for a gift received game. Get a proxy to ask. It can't hurt.

    The Steam gifting process is super versatile. If you don't know their account or email, or they don't have one, choose "Gift via Email," gift it to yourself, and you'll have a URL that can be claimed by anyone.

    You can also manage your gifts and re-gift later if it's not redeemed and you need to send it again or to someone else.

    Edit: And Santee? That Steam sale is going to make your gifts even giftier, but you're not getting them beforehand. You'll get your gift codes in the package along with everything else.

    I'm a prick.

    To my santa. I filled out a wish list on steam. Do not get any of the games on there for me. They are purely for the giveaway that is going on. The list is basically "meh if its free ill play it". Then again its your choice since you are my santa, I just didnt want to give the wrong impression that I was actively seeking those games.

    They are selling MS points in 1400 point chunks now? How expensive is that? This is one of those things that really pisses me off about MS, they used to sell 2000 points for 20 bucks, then decided the could just without notice or reason change it to 1800 for 20 bucks just to make more money.

    Looks like MS have done it again then, because 1400pts cost US$20 now

    It was canadian 10/20$ or whatever it was.

    I hate to bring this up, but I won't have my own PC again until I get a new one next February, when my student aid comes in. So a Steam gift would be kind of awkward... I'm sorry for being such a crappy Santee, Santa. I don't even have a console... guess I must be a pain to buy for. :/ Gah, I'm just having a bad day, don't mind me.

    edit: Wow, neat gifts from Stormwatcher. I feel better already! :)

    It didn't say who my santa was, and I took some pictures but I'm going to wait for the other two parts before I make the gift get post.
