    I may have to pick that one up. This thread is so awesome for gift/self-gift ideas.

    And so horrible for my wallet. Each gift I've received from something like this in the past has caused me to go out and spend more money on myself to finish the set, or get more of it, or something like that.

    But each year, I've had a better and better job, until this year, so hopefully I'll be able to restrain myself...
    yeah right :(

    If you think about it, your Santa was a dick. Buying you a whole new system just so you would have to spend more money on buying new games.

    That diabolical bastard!

    Actually, it isn't so bad. I got another package today!?!!!!?!??!!!!

    Pics incoming!

    Thanks, mysterious santa! I'll be sure to bring over friends and use it as our next drinking game. Whoever collapses the tower takes a shot. Barrel? Take a shot. Hammer? Everyone else takes a shot.

    We'll probably be dead before morning, but what a blast we will have.

    A couple more gifts and a letter on the way my friend. Merry Christmas!

    Photos to come, but as I just rushed my husband out the door to send out my Santee's own package, I gotta crash for a while. (It was a hectic packing job, as one item only arrived yesterday!)

    With no gift yet andno word from my santee on wether his first gift arrived the tension is rising. Santa if you get me something even remotely acceptable from my post history I will be mighty impressed.

    I don't like to wish time away but it's 1 week and a Half until school breaks upfor 2 weeks and it can't come soon enough. My tutor group are keeping me well busy and I have loads of reports etc to do.

    The good news is we are rehearsing for the end if term show where we get to spread some christmas cheer, hooray.

    Apologies for terible iPhone spelling.

    Edit: oh jaef you make us All look like hobos. Have you been gifted yet?

    I wonder if sending someone whores as a secret santa gift would be frowned upon...

    And obviously, you'd be obliged to try them out before you send them in order to ensure both their skill as well as that they aren't STD ridden...

    And don't forget to poke holes in the box...
    Unless I'm your santee, then don't worry about poking holes in the box :winky:

    Potential last part of santee's gift came today. I feel like spending more though, so we shall see (although I need to mail this bitch out asap so it arrives on time). I am probably going to spend like $70 on shipping (I was quoted about $90 to have package tracking).

    So - A short while ago I received a very kind warning.

    I haven't gotten around to play PvZ much yet due to my addiction to Left 4 Dead 2 but I can attest it's indeed a fun game.
    It was only a small taste of what was yet to come, however:

    Tonight I was greeted by a huge package from CEDA. Labeled to me.
    unpack1.jpg

    It's the super special CEDA Field Manager Kit! (Not to be confused with the Christmas Kit)

    For those unaware, the Civil Emergency And Defense Agency is tasked with saving our asses from zombie and infected uprisings as those who are familiar with Left 4 Dead can attest to.

    IMG_0242.jpg


    I wanted to rip it up that very moment but the letter demanded I gave it attention first.

    It read:
    IMG_0233.jpg

    letter32.jpg

    ampix.jpg


    Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit


    Time to rip 'er up!



    IMG_0243.jpg

    First up in the special CEDA Field Manager Kit is the indispensable

    IMG_0259.jpg

    Never leave your safe house without at least one copy, should an emergency infected or zombie situation arrive.


    Well fine, but what is a field manager to eat when trapped in a safe or a not-so-safe house?

    IMG_0249.jpg


    IMG_0250.jpg

    Why, stroopwaffles from Holland of course! What else would you want to eat?
    This stuff is delicious by the way



    Also included is the graphical novel nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.

    hate2.jpg

    explosive.jpg

    Which instructs a CEDA Field Manager on the use of various explosive devices.


    But! There's more buried in this treasure chest of loot:

    IMG_0244.jpg


    The super-awesome entire new CEDA Recruitment Poster set!

    entireset.jpg

    which are by the way huge and bigger (and more awesome) than the Recruitment Poster set from last year (which, as aspiring CEDA Field Manager I had already adorned my walls with)
    IMG_0245.jpg


    And last but not least:

    IMG_0260.jpg
    My very own picea abies!

    The seeds have been sown and I've already placed them on the training program.

    training.jpg

    They will be ready when the infection hits.



    Ampix you are the most awesome man in the world. I didn't expect a gift this awesome and even if I did I'd still be totally blown away.
    Thanks a lot!
