I have three out of five of my Santee's presents ready to go. The fourth one should arrive in the mail soon, and the fifth one is a crafty work in progress. Maybe a sixth one if I can get my mother to help me sew something nice together. Santee, prepare to be bombarded by things I like that I hope you also will like.
I'm really worried about shipping, though. Looks like it'll cost the same to ship it as all of the gifts combined. It would be cheaper First Class International (~$15), but one of the gifts is going to make the box too big for that.

So apparently I don't have a Secret Santa. I have a Secret Holy-Shit-It-Is-Some-Kind-Of-Super-Mega-Santa.
Pics & Story:
This came in the mail today.
With this sauce little warning on it
Which apparently in Alaska, liquids can't be left in the cold, so I had to go to the post office to pick it up. Anyway, being liquid had my curiousity piqued, so I had to dig in.
Inside I find a bunch of Wangs, Cocks and Dicks, so naturally I did the hand off to my wife. She knows how to handle a bunch of wangs, cocks and dicks at once.
Further inside I found wonderful notes, and several wrapped presents. Hemingway helped me investigate something that clearly smelled of deluxe, grade a, new york tasty.
Inside I found strategies to make Chicken Wings, the legit way. I was also threatened to do it the right way, and not the ranch way, lest I be stabbed with Whale Blubber. I also got some graphic novels, including Red Son, the russian superman, since Sarah Palin established how good friends the Russians and us are.
And then long story short, I also got chocolate, 3 packs of legos, Mass Effect, Mother-fucking Dragon Age and Dead Space to which my wife yelled "GOD DAMNIT!"
...Apparently she already bought me Dead Space for Christmas. And it just so happens last year, Urahonky sent me Assassins Creed for Christmas... after my wife already got that for me for christmas... She has proposed the warning that if I ever get a video game that she has already planned on and purchased to give to me for christmas from someone else again, I will never be able to touch a computer so long as I live. Anyway, my wife is returning it and she has a bunch of gift ideas and like a million other gifts for me, so it's all a happy story in the end.
Thanks so much Secret Santa, I will deduce who you are. You really made my night and kick started the cheer. Perfect timing the day after thanksgiving. You are too kind and I will post updates with my buffalo wings when I make them. Merry Christmas and happy new year from Mr. & Mrs. Eddy.
Woot! Sorry you had to make a special trip to pick all of that up. I doubt Anchor Bar sauce freezes in anything less than deep space.
Tell Mrs. Eddy I'm sorry to have ruined her gift, but damn, son, you've lived an entire year without Dead Space? That's criminal. Just don't play with the lights off. And I seem to have seen you comment somewhere that you've never played a Bioware RPG, so enjoy your introduction. I'm about two hours from the end of DA myself - and I don't want it to end.
Now, I'll leave you to your work. You've done backed up your backlog!
God damn... I have dilemma. After getting refund for the lost gift, I'm torn on what I should buy as a replacement. I have some easy and boring gift ideas that I'm sure that my target would apperciate. In the other hand, I have some really, really unconventional ideas, and I would really be interested to see my target's reaction to those gifts. But whole idea feels so wrong somehow, as I could even potentially insult him. This is tricky.
So apparently I don't have a Secret Santa. I have a Secret Holy-Shit-It-Is-Some-Kind-Of-Super-Mega-Santa.

Amazing gifts are amazing!
Indeed. I'm actually really curious about the wings thing. I love wings, and keep trying to find a recipe that matches the ones from restaurants.
Also, santa,
I picked up New Super Mario and Dragon Age, so if you haven't shopped for me, you can skip those two games, aong with AC2.
Santee,
I'm waiting for my apt office to open so that I may pick up my items. Then, wrap, note and send!
Star Wars Lego things are pretty nifty. I have a few myself, because I'm a huge nerd.
Oh, and Santa... I've been a good Santee this year and haven't bought myself anything. So don't worry about it.
I couldn't spoil myself even if I wanted to, because I'm on a very tight budget, and I'm using every cent I have for gifts, since everyone I know is broke. I want them to have a fun Christmas, not a shitty one. Plus I enjoy the giving part more these days anyway.
Getting down to the crunch here, so in case my Santa is having any trouble, I'll add that I own these systems and already have the listed games for them here...
PS3:
Call of Duty-Modern Warfare 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
Ghostbusters
Motorstorm Pacific Rift
Star Wars-The Force Unleashed
Burnout Paradise
Batman-Arkham Asylum
LittleBigPlanet

Heavenly Sword
The Elder Scrolls-Oblivion GOTY Edition
Aquanaut's Holiday (imported from China)
Hakuna Matata (imported from China)
Concerning my Santee's gift...I'm have trouble figuring out how to best pack it up.
I'm also trying to figure out what else to throw in there...gears are turning though.

The key is leave the sauce making to the experts. It's pretty damn hard to get the right proportion of margarine, heaty-stuff and liquids. The bottled Anchor Bar (where wings were invented) stuff - which I'm sure you can find online - is likely better than what you can make, and also probably better than what your local establishment offers, unless you live in Buffalo.

Also, if you know a friend who works in a restaurant, it's fairly easy to get this stuff in bulk. Any manager is usually willing to put in an extra order next time they purchase said product, so that's one way of getting a lot of sauce on the cheap.
Well, Santee I spent to long ordering your last present, so I have to have it sent to you. I am sorry that you will be receiving presents in two phases, but I think it will all work out.
I want to get my santee a DVD but I'm from the UK and he's from the US. Will the DVD being PAL cause much frustration? Are any of the current gen consoles region free?
Ah crap. Just like last year, I forgot to put the note in the package. Ah well, my santee will just have to put up with a random assortment of fun things.
I was up until 6 AM playing Assassins Creed 2 and in a deep slumber when at 11AM I hear DING DONG DING DONG at my door.
I ignored it twice thinking it was my stupid room mates ringing the doorbell like they like to.
It rang again so I got up and behold, and package for me!
I took pic's but they're in large .raw format. I'll post later when I've had coffee, smokes and probably a nap.
The gifts are in fact, fucking sweeet.
PS: Santee, you should have received at least part one of your gift by now. I really hope shipping didn't dick it up, thus dicking me over.

Consoles don't tend to be. I've had some luck with NTSC DVDs in my PAL PS2, but other than that they lock it down pretty hard IIRC.
If it helps, BBC DVDs tend to be region-free discs. If not, most people have a DVD drive in their computer, and VLC will play the disc if you are that keen on getting it for them.

Hell, that book might have been specifically created for the sole purpose of being a Secret Santa gift. It's just - too perfect to be not.
I didn't get it for my Santee. If I had heard of it earlier, I would have.

You could try getting them a Blu-Ray instead, if they have a PS3.
Dear santa,
Steam sales make me so so weak with my purchasing restraint. I really hope I don't mess up any of your gifts. If I do I'm sorry, but steam made me do it.
Aww man.. I'm quivering in anticipation.. I just want to know who this generous soul is that received me for their Santee.. I'm going to explode soon and make a mess..
Concerning my Santee's gift...I'm have trouble figuring out how to best pack it up.
I'm also trying to figure out what else to throw in there...gears are turning though.
Unflavoured, unbuttered popcorn is good - just chuck lots and lots in - its light, and biodegradable, and if you pack it tightly, whatever fabulous creation you've sculpted this year will be safe!

And beef jerky.
Some sort of combination of those two... beefboard... key jerky.
Man I am SO in the Christmas spirit now!
Two boxes were delivered to me. Combined, their power shall rival the heavens.

Maybe use a proxy to ask some questions to give you an idea about your santee and how easily offended they are by certain things?
