2018 Holiday Gift Exchange7757

Jesse_O private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Ok, everyone that signed up should have a pm from me with the name and address of the person you need to buy a gift for. If you did not receive a message from me, let me know ASAP!!! If you find that you cannot get a gift for someone, PLEASE let me know ASAP so a gift can be sent to that person. I know how life can throw curve balls at a person this time of year. Just pm me and it'll just be between you and me, no judgement. In order for people to have their gifts in time, let's try to mail the packages out by Dec. 15th so that the carriers have time to get them to the recipients. Above all, have fun everyone!!! We ended up with 36 people in the exchange and that is great!!! |

| Hi, everyone. I'm thinking I might not have given enough guidance on what I like for my secret santa, but mostly I like being surprised by what someone else thinks is good. However, if you would like more ideas (or something more specific, or different categories, etc.) please just pm Jesse - who is doing a great job organizing this, btw - so he can pm me to add something. Maybe some other people feel the same. Also, I felt like Jesse didn't have enough to do and probably needed some more tasks. Seriously, though, thanks for organizing this @Jesse_O |

| btw, whomever drew me, I pretty much have every Captain Marvel - Ms Marvel Book out there.. and every ART GERM cover put out.. but I do collect reprints, Marvel Milestones, 2nd prints, etc etc. I'm happy with whatever I get. Funny the person I choose, likes a character I pretty much hate. so this is going to be a good challenge to educate myself on why I hate this character so much and find something they might enjoy, that may not have. oh! one more thing, Can I tell the person I got last year for Secret Santa that I chose them?

| Thanks for the kind words @Tedsaid!! I enjoy setting this up and doing this. And every once in while, you get a special request from someone, like @Gabriel85301 asked if he could buy for a certain person. I was happy to help him out. Did that happen again this year??? We'll only know if the sender fesses up, cause I'm not telling!!! LOL!!! |

| So, I could give the person I have something they would like, but they would know it was from me. Think I should do that or something a little less obvious? |

| So.....I have my gift ready to be mailed out. This is my first time. Do we reveal who we are, or send the package anonymously? Actually, nevermind, it has to have a return address. Sorry, turkey high. Ron |

Jesse_O private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Enelson In my experience, most people just seem to send when they have everything together. Others wait until it is closer to Christmas. Whatever works for you. Also, quite often, the package is opened asap. But I do recall a couple where the receiver waited until Christmas to open. That takes a lot of self control in my opinion!!! LOL!! | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk Do what you feel comfortable with. The package will have your return address anyway. You could sign the note with your real name and they won't know from that who you are online. They might be able to figure that out, but it's not a given. |

| @stanley_1883 The names have all been matched already. If anyone wants to do an extra trade, that can be arranged. It would actually be a one to one trade, but it can be done. | ||

| Current reads: Dealers choice. I like discovering new recommendations by cool people. Stuff I really like: Hush Y The Last Man Red Daughter of Krypton Red Son " Usually if its nitty or gritty, i'm likely all over it. I like gangster flicks where the bad guy wins. |

| I was able to find some books for the person I’m gifting today @ my LCS, and the owner helped me track a few more down for them on eBay & scoop them up while I was there. So hopefully by this time next week I’ll have shipped off the books & bring a smile to their face before Christmas Eve! 🤞🏻 | ||

| @poka I’m still going to include a personal note inside though. It just wouldn’t feel right to not wish them a Merry Christmas you know? That’s just my nature I guess!  |
