    It's made for children (it says so in the name!) but it's banned in the US because people ate the toy + that yellow casing it came in?

    I'm sure nobody in the history of ever has accidentally eaten a Kinder egg pod while eating the egg (some tragic reports of kids choking on the toys long after eating the egg, but that's just kids and small toys and an unfortunate coincidence). But the FDA says 'no non-food inside food' and they aint budging.

    Good, then our secret is safe that we don't actually keep toys in there but instead our gold reserve.

    A rogue parcels arrives!

    It's the worktop saver I ordered for the kitchen. I should've know. Le sigh.

    OH MAN! Sudden inspiration struck rather late last night! I'd already purchased all portions of the gift (except the candy stuffs), but now I'm going to delay slightly more in trying to pull this thing off.
    If I can D:
    Times like these I wish I could paint/draw better, because this has a chance to be poorly done.

    Dear Santa, I'm probably going to spend 20 on myself during the Steam sale... hope that won't screw with you too much.

    Holy shit, maybe not. From Wikipedia:

    For smuggling kinder eggs in to the country:
    In June 2012 the potential fine per egg was quoted as US$2,500.[13]

    I'm pretty sure I've sent them through to my santees before. Lucky escape!
    In the past I've brought entire cases of them home with me. Imagine if I got caught with a case?!

    Most king cakes you buy now around mardi gras time have the baby outside of the cake, but in the box. So you have to put it in there yourself.

    LOOPHOLES!

    King cakes don't really get shipped do they?

    Also, having been the recipient of kinder eggs, and being American, i can confirm their awesomeness, having never experienced that before.

    Shopping for SS is hard, and it makes me find things I want for myself to point my family at. The only eventual loser here is my and my family's wallets!

    Oh they totally do. Not sure about overseas or anything, but it's a huge thing down here to have them shipped to friends and family across the country.
    Some places will do a big gift thing where it's like a king cake and then a whole basket full of random goods from down here that aren't available elsewhere

    Dear Santa (and other Santas!),

    The blu-ray boxed set of Indie Game: The Movie is on-sale today (and for a few days?) and I might splurge and get it for myself buuut, it would also make a great gift!

    There are too many Holiday deals actually. Too many. I will probably get myself Tales of Xillia this Friday for sure as it'll only be $20. Also Steam Sales might get the best of me too.

    Santee, I was able to get most of your gifts this weekend. I have one more place I need to go but I'm waiting until after the weekend for that.

    I should be shipping out your gifts next week. Christmas cheer will be upon you soon.

    Santee! My daughter heard about my Art project, and is both confused and excited. She got into the spirit and has drawn you a picture.
    A picture that is quite possibly better than the one I'm currently attempting to draw you.

    There is lots of colored cinnamon involved... it reminds me of a giant cinnamon roll, but that doesn't do it justice. Mardi Gras colors abound and there is a little plastic baby inside. Whoever gets the baby in their slice will have good luck all year... or something.

    Gift sent. I must admit it is little uncreative this year, but it has some really great value.

    They usually have one.

    I'm weak. I've already bought Startopia on steam and Bioshock Infinite on gamefly. It was on sale for 8 bucks! I couldn't resist.

    Bioshock Infinite makes it forgivable in my books

    @Stormwatcher I messed up the checkout process and had to send them individually instead of as a batch. Actually, I missed a few so keep an eye out in a bit.

    It was actually a lot cooler to get them all by themselves! And the message was pretty cool too. Thanks a lot, dude! :D

    My santee is the biggest challenge I've ever faced, so I'm going to just take some pot shots and pray he doesn't own them. Don't you dare buy anything today! At least until you get this.

    Thanks to Amazon and early black friday shopping, Santee, your final gift has been ordered.
    It will be shipped to my location for packing with other items of giftiness to be shipped to you as soon as possible (or maybe a little later).
