It was a little tricky shopping for the Santee who seemed to have everything he or she wanted, but I think I made it work in the end and managed to sneak in some quality cheer.

A package from Thinkgeek arrived this morning from a certain KYLE B. I know I'm a pain in the ass to shop for, but i got some pretty cool stuff here:
Let's be clear. It's impossible to fuck up by giving Star Wars gifts. The holiday theme is just cream.
This is hard to explain. It's a monkey with elastic arms and little hooks for your fingers. You pull it back like a slingshot and as it flies through the air, it audibly makes you aware it did not appreciate what you just did. It is sweet.
This made me laugh when i opened it. It's a zombie doll, but ever limb (and his torso) can be completely detached via velcro. Tycho came into my office, saw it, and turned around and left without saying a word. For this alone it was worth it.
Thanks Kyle guy!
Those flying screaming monkeys are awesome. My wife got me one for Valentine's Day a couple of years ago, and I use it to terrorize my study hall students whenever I get bored watching them work. The little fuckers can be pretty damn accurate when you get the hang of them!
Well done! The Star Wars characters are aces.
Your package arrived at your parents at 1:24 this afternoon. Hope you like them!
So do I, or they might not let him have the gift.

I was gonna make that joke.
Aw dang, that Super Saver shipping was fast. I have something more to send you, but it was it's been a pain to get together and working. Hopefully I can send it on Monday.
I find it hilarious that all you wanted for Christmas was something to repel Tycho.
hes all big n fat, and you can tear his top half off!
or the smoker, squeeze him and his tongue flaps - then he makes his wheezy noises

Or one of those party blowers in the shape of a smoker where the tongue is the red ribbon
Id just be harrassing peoples necks with it all day
"Mmm, you taste like fear."
Or is that too weird
Fine as long as you say it while licking your lips
Again, thank you! The two books are awesome and are more than enough.
I also finished my christmas shopping, so can spend the rest of December getting progressively more drunk
A great idea for a successful santa!
Package sent on Dec 5th via USPS.
Estimated delivery date - Dec 12-16th.
Do not fear. I have acquired the last pieces of your gift. You should be getting it soooooon.

I work at a place that ships alot through Purolator so we get a discount. I decided to use them to send it, just called in the order, and was still on the phone copying down the tracking number when the purolator guy walked through the door to pick it up. (In all fairness he was apparently just driving by but I'm impressed.) We're also supposed to get all our packages called in by 3pm or it has to wait until the next day (or monday in this case), and I didn't call in until 3:45!
PS to Santee: I did actually try to wrap this one, but it wouldn't fit in the package with wrapping and woulda cost almost 3X as much to ship if I had used anything else, so sorry about potentially ruining your unwrapping fun.
Your item shipped yesterday, and should arrive next Wednesday!
From ThinkGeek, awesome!
And now the reveal!
Ohh, two magnetic goodies and a goofy drinking bird. I could have some mischievous fun with this. No ideas come to mind at the present however.
Thanks Santa
Also, you should post a picture of those magnetic toys set up.
Initially that is what I tried to do, but my magnet building skills are lacking. The cylinder on the right has at least 40 or 50 individual tiny magnets which seem happiest clumped together or in a rod shape. Maybe I need a metal base to ground the magnets on?

It's been a week and 2 days since I shipped it out. (I shipped it how I always ship such things...never had a problem) I'm really anxious to hear from my Santee. Please tell me right away when you get it.
It's a Moleskine Ruled Pocket Notebook. My Santa picked it for me because she/he (leaning towards she) saw I posted a lot in the 6-word stories thread of the Writer’s Block here on PA. Nice gift. Of course, I feel sorry for the poor, poor moles that had to die to make it.
Thank you very much. You have made the dreams of me and my ancestors come true.
Well, at least it looks like the last of the elements for my Santee's gift should be here by next week. In the meantime, I'm trying to hunt down something for the presentation, which is ending up being harder to find than I thought. It's one of those things you see around all the damn time until you actually need to get one, then have no idea where you've been seeing them.
Should be there next Thursday.
I'm excited.
I'm just excited because my brother finally finished his piece, and I'm on my way to go pick it up. I can't wait to see the final product.

That was me! Happy Christmas dude. Those magnets have a thousand uses you will find.
