    The people involved in secret saints have been a godsend over the years. Even more than the gifts themselves, when the depressions have been at their worst, when they have been convincing me that no one cares that I am a useless speck, it is the good people on the forums in the saints that help me to fight against the brain-spiders, to tell them " people DO care, they do these things because they DO care, I DO matter to people"

    knowing that there are people out there who who care and who contribute to your well being

    it's a super important part of this and it really helps me get through the holidays, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so

    So thanks again guys, thank you SO MUCH for helping us out, it means more to us than you can know

    We currently have 7 receivers (8 if I count myself which I guess I'm doing...) and... A bunch of givers.

    You all never cease to amaze me with your generosity this time of year.

    I'm hoping to getting names out to givers soon.

    If anyone is curious how...

    I'm going to literally write the names of givers on a slip of paper and draw them out of a box...if someone wanted to give to 3 people their name gets put in there 3 times. I'm going to use a random number generator to decide the order of receivers on the list as well.

    GIFTERS EXPECT PM'S TO BE COMING PRETTY SOON IF NOT TONIGHT EVEN.

    EVERYONE WHO IS GIVING

    You should have a PM from me with your match(es). If you need additional information contact myself or @lonelyahava

    If for some reason you got an incomplete address or something let me know.

    If your giftee doesn't have a wishlist in the PM or this thread let me know and I will harass them until they provide it,

    If you want to send to any more people, let me know.

    If you can't send for any reason, let me know so I can get those people covered somehow

    If you got someone you don't particularly like or want, let me know and I'll make accommodations(I won't tell the person, and I'm not judging)

    Other than that...


    I seriously cannot thank everyone enough. You're all amazing, beautiful people and you have all of the love I have to give.

  • Blackhawk1313Blackhawk1313 Demon Hunter for Hire Time RiftRegistered User regular
    Oh good they arrived. I know you are a big fan of Saquon so that was something I definitely wanted to get for ya. As for the other well those Pokémon aren’t going to catch themselves right? (Sets aside idea for pocket monsters under a post apocalyptic authoritarian regime that incentivizes the pokemon turning each other in).

    Nvm, I’m describing pocket monsters current day North Korea, carry on.

    This ruins the surprise but @Rorshach Kringle if you could be home this coming Monday around 9-10am that would be cool. The thing being sent needs an adult signature I'm sorry! Also don't buy any pocketed monster related entertainment until the beginning of December I'm also so sorry about this!

    The spirits have entreated me to say that I may have received something today! Since I'm in a dorm, I'll pick it up at the front desk tomorrow!

    It's like Christmas Eve up in here!

    But the front desk doesn't open till 8:30! I got there too early!

    ETA: Aaaand they don't have it. Which means it wasn't received. But maybe it'll be received today?

    REMEMBER

    If you just found this thread and would like some help with Christmas cheer you can still PM me and I'll do what I can to find a gifter

    If you just found this thread, or maybe knew this thread existed but just stumbled on a windfall of cash, you still be a gifter!

    Just because names are out doesn't mean this is done. It's only just beginning!

  • ElaroElaro Apologetic Registered User regular
    OKAY. Have received text that a package is waiting for me!

    I have gone to check it out.

    I have received a package!

    Throw it away. It's probably full of killer ants.

    Aha! So that's what that rattling sound was!

    But unfortunately, there was a small tear in the packaging, so I think they might've all escaped?

    OK FINE. You guys win. I opened the package.

    That rattling sound was NOT in fact deadly ants, but potato chips! Sour cream & Onions, my favourite!

    I also received video gaems! Dark Souls IV, Ghostbusters: The Game: The Movie: The Theme Park: The Game and The Witcher 2.65: Dream Drop Distance? Never heard of them, but I'm sure they'll be very fun!

    I actually haven't played Dark Souls much, but I heard there's a good doggo with a sword? So that's why Pokémon is now DS4

    So I may toss my hat in the giftee ring if it isn't too late.

    It feels kind of weird, because honestly this year is better than the last 3, but I'm actually in a place where I feel like I can ask for help. I had a super rough divorce 3 years ago that sent me back home to Ohio from the west coast. I could not make ends meet in California and I had been in and out of hospitals and day programs for my depression the year prior. The divorce left me with all my student loan debt, all the credit card debt I had accrued while attending the teaching program I never finished, and seperated me from my son.

    Fast forward to today and I am finally hoping to move back west by the fall of 2020, hopefully before my son Luca starts 1st grade. The holidays are always rough because I buy more for Luca than I can really afford. I'm hoping to get him a Switch this year, but I don't know if I can swing games or anything else.

    I can get my Amazon list pruned and updated in the next day or two, but really, I'd like to get him some cool stuff. Stuff for me would be cool and all, but I kinda feel weird asking since poor spending choices during my depression spiral built a lot of that debt.

    Luca is 5 and small for his age. He is bright, but a bit immature. He likes Paw Patrol, Superwings, Pocoyo and a lot of pre-school type stuff like that. He likes to read. He is into superheros, but pretty much all the movies and shows (really anything with conflict) scare him. Would prefer things that don't involve screen time, since his mom is very sensitive about that and the Switch is probably going to be a tough sell already.

    Most of the stuff on my wishlist is media and that is mostly what I buy for myself anyway. If you feel like buying for me, maybe something that will help me out in a city where I know no one and have nothing outside of a bed, dresser, clothes, tv and media?

    I am an XL 39 year-old that left to his own devices dresses like a 14 year-old, so clothes that wouldn't be embarrassing to try to go on a date in could be cool. Pant size 40x32 and shoe size 12.

    Personal wishlist here, but like I said, hoping to get more stuff for Luca.
