dude that post took a lot of courage and it is appreciated, hope everything goes well for you and that you keep in touch with us. this will not be the final secret santa that sega8bit has, you guys have my word on that, if next year it falls to me to organise then i will, I have organised them for other sites (I moderate elsewhere and as my fiancee is the swap forum moderator i am roped in to do most of it so she can take part and still be surprised. edited to add: on friday morning I posted to my recipient. I have requested a tracking service and checked it just now (saturday evening- it is ready to be sent abroad I will keep an eye on it and make sure it hits the road asap)

You see this year I was gonna really outdo whoever I was to buy for because last year I got an INCREDIBLE secret santa gift, especially compared to the gift I gave.
Zavius gave me 6 Awesome games, all in beautiful condition, complete with hangy tabs and all, and even in the UK style packaging which is what I prefer because it's what we usually got here in Canada when I was growing up! I don't know HOW he did that and stayed within the budget we had last year so I planned to outdo my gift, forget the budget amount, and kind of 'pay it forward' kinda thing, so keeping in the spirit, please draw me SOMEONE's name and they'll get a secret santa gift from me and no one has to get ME anything!
Thank You Zavias, you really did make my Christmas last year, made me feel like I was 10 years old again, each game giftwrapped and all!

I have sent out- my recepient can reveal if/when he has recieved from me when he chooses I am currently in the middle of an international argument between postal services, royal mail won't contact the service in the other country and expected me to do it, I contacted them and they told me royal mail should contact them and shouldnt ask me to do it. I have sent an angry tweet to royal mail and still hope its stuck in customs as international stuff does. edit- my sender has been on the case, we think its a customs delay, top guy

As a suggestion, it would be useful to keep track of who's involved and who has sent and received items. I'd recommend updating the first post regularly with this information, like it has been done in previous years.

The mailman tried to deliver mine yesterday but I was at work and it was too big to fit through the letterbox. I went to the sorting office at 7am and I have it at last I have a feeling my santa has been very generous

I've updated the first post on the thread, and with 2 1/2 weeks to go until christmas we have nearly a fully completed secret santa, that is excellent
