I'm torn between paying a lot for international shipping or buying more awesome stuff from amazon or something instead. Amazon lacks the personal touch...
This is my exact dilemma. I'm leaning slightly more on paying for international shipping for the personal touch.
But adds the awesomeness of more lewts.
Edit:
Sorry, not trying to discourage people from that personal touch. I'd possibly be torn too, but I lack the materials out here to make something awesome.
I am sending Santee a few things though.

Were I in this kinda situation, I would opt for both. Something small and personal sent from home(save on shipping!) , and something else amazon'd.

Shopping for my Secret Satanee is going to be easier than shopping for my Secret Santee. I need to devote my afternoon to this 'stalking' thing people talk about.
Packages frequently are picked up by the owners of my apartment complex and brought to the office. They don't tell us whether we have a package waiting or anything, so I'll have no idea, and then I won't even get it until Friday. Please do, if you can, inform me that a package is on the way if/when it is!
One of the things I ordered for my santee.. it looks like it may have been opened already. The flap at the bottom was partially open, the seals on it have been broken, and the tape on the lid looks like someone took it off and reapplied it.
I don't even think I can ask for an exchange because there were only three in stock when I ordered it, and now there are none left. I can't even find any others on the internet to order.
I guess since the seals have already been broken, it would be ok to open the flap the rest of the way to make sure everything is inside?

Might as well. Make sure there's no snake venom in there or something.
Well, the good news is that everything inside seems to be sealed and untampered with. I'm still a little brokenhearted, but hopefully my santee won't mind that the packing is slightly less than perfect. Especially after what I have planned for it.

eh, I always end up amazoning it. Ya it's not as personal but it just makes things so much easier and it's not like my santee is not gonna still enjoy getting gifts

lol I love how the very first gift to be delivered is of course zombie thremed
Gifts get! Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Hot Fuzz. Woo! Thanks, jclast. Happy Thanksgivingmas indeed. I now have a reason to dust off my Wii and give it some love. I also don't know how I went this long without owning Hot Fuzz.
Yea. I don't know how I never bought it when it first came out. When I was updating my Amazon list ages ago, I noticed I didn't have it and I put it on there. Hehe.

Glad you like. I'm disappointed that despite picking "as few shipments as possible" it all didn't come at the same time. Anyhoo, be on the lookout for another box, hopefully soon!

There is more?! Geez. I was content with that, jerk. Stop spoiling me!
Main gift obtained, box obtained (the box I got my PA DVD in, lol), packing materials obtained. Now I need the last few gifts I had planned, some extra filler stuff and the joke items I really want to do.
Gaaah. $15 thing shipped domestically has become a $50+ thing shipped internationally.
Also, I'm thinking of sacrificing a very small, seemingly insignificant item by sending it to my Santee, but I actually love it. I hope my Santee appreciates it as much as I have.
Man, all these gifts received and whatnot makes me feel like a bum for not getting my full gift for my santee yet, just have to wait till next paycheck. plus I need time. Personalized gift ftw

I know! I have a list of stuff I want to get for my santee. I just haven't gotten around to getting it.

Present get.
I graciously thank my Santa whoever he is.
And to my Santee I'm still putting your gift together.
I'm still working out my gift. Due to a back injury it'll probably get out sometime in december if I decide to do a personal wrapping. If not it could be earlier as I'll just amazon it.
Dear Santa: No rush! As long as it doesn't arrive in the middle of January, anyway. I don't want you to get in trouble on account of me telling you that it's cool if you take your time.
Dear Santee: I am looking for the appropriate font to use in your letter.

Magazines have a lot of letters in them you can just cut out, you don't even have to use a computer! Then just get glue, apply them to the paper, and bam! Who needs to go through the hassle of using a "word" program? Letters in a magazine are the way to go!

If he wants it to look like a ransom letter.
Actually, that could be awesome. Rudolph has been kidnapped and it's up to the santee to save him!
Main gift made, supplemental gifts bought, just need wrapping paper and I'm all set for (hopefully not too extortionate) shipping.

They're selling 8 Bit Christmas 2010 now. I've seen people give these in the past and they look awesome. Unfortunately I'm not sure what systems my santee owns.

I can't claim creativity for that idea though. My Santa a few years back did that to me.

I just bought you something Santee. I got a really good deal too. My shopping has not only officially begun with you, but for everyone on my list. This weekend there will be more.

Yup.
It's called Secret Satan down in SE++. :P
Oh wow, I did not even notice the extra A in there. I re-read that a bunch of times to see if there was something I was missing before I posted, too.
It's amazing how the the human mind doesn't notice extra letters and words like the two "the's" at the beginning of this sentence.
One of the things I ordered for my santee.. it looks like it may have been opened already. The flap at the bottom was partially open, the seals on it have been broken, and the tape on the lid looks like someone took it off and reapplied it.
I don't even think I can ask for an exchange because there were only three in stock when I ordered it, and now there are none left. I can't even find any others on the internet to order.
I guess since the seals have already been broken, it would be ok to open the flap the rest of the way to make sure everything is inside?
I've read that a few times, and everytime its like 'GAH! I still know its there, but I still skip over it.'
CRAZY!
I'm all for the Santa revealing his or herself. It just confuses everybody when someone doesn't know who sent their gift (even though Doc will know).
Got me!
edit: So, I got an amazon box in the mail just now....
