| @Masochism @BrianGreensnips @Watcher It's driving my little guy crazy, which in all honesty is making it easier for me to wait.  It's like getting two presents; 1) Whatever is in the box 2) Torturing my son |

| I picked my holiday box from the post office today! Man I wish I was patient enough to take photos of how well everything was wrapped! Comics were wrapped in Christmas paper. I did take photos of the entire haul though: Some awesome new variants and a set of classic Spider-Man cards!  Some McFarlane goodness!!!  Annnnnddd last but certainly not least, an awesome Spawn action figure!  Thank you very much to my Secret Santa!!! Happy Holidays! |

| Batman: Harley Quinn Dynamic forces signed by everyone? Wow. Let me just say, I may have gone a bit over the $20 suggested amount, but I am NOT in the same league as that one. Sorry, secret sant-ee. Beautiful book, btw. What an awesome gift! |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

Jesse_O private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I don't think anyone needs to feel bad about what they sent. We had a guideline and some were feeling generous. There's nothing wrong if you stayed to the guide or if you went over. Having said that, if people think that increasing the guide amount is a good idea, we can do that next year. What would you all like to see as a "suggested amount"? If we had said it was $25 or $30 would some people not have joined this year? I'm just here to facilitate the thing. If the majority want to change something, we can do it. |

xkonk private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I think it's the opposite. The money part isn't too important to me (at least between $20 or $30) but sticking to the number is. Anyone who's done a white elephant or watched The Office knows that going over the limit leads to bad feelings. | ||

Watcher private msg quote post Address this user | |
Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O I think "forcing" a raise is dangerous. 20.00 keeps it nice and fun. If I'm in a great mood that day and feel like adding some extras, then great. But once everyone feels like it's about keeping up with the jones', the entire premise of the event is lost. I still have all my kids 2.00 gifts they picked out for me because they mean something. I dont remember the big gifts over the years from others. Give what you can because it feels good , take part because it's fun and never ever feel badly about taking the time to think of, look for, wrap and mail a gift out of kindness (regardless the value). |

Tedsaid private msg quote post Address this user | |
Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O Yes, I agree. Another great aspect of this particular Secret Santa is that we are all collectors. And so we all pretty much have cool items to give already at hand. (I know some people shopped around and ordered items; but I just dug through my collection of ~7000 comics.) I maybe went over the limit a bit in terms of value, but for cost? I bought one item 30 years ago (and got it slabbed a year ago) and another six months ago (raw). So I was only out of pocket - this week - for the shipping. The fun part was coming up with different ideas and deciding between them. |

BrianGreensnips private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I agree with @Watcher and @Tedsaid. I think as long as you keep it in reason. I did what Tedsaid did. I dug through over 5000+ books from the collection and had fun finding some nice clean copies of books that I had more than 1 of and fit what the person liked. I think this has been the funnest thing on this forum. I like that it has so far been a positive experience for all. | ||
