Secret Santa 2019 Gift show off thread

DaneGer21 · Dec 17, 2019

Super jealous of everyone. Being “fairly” new and never participating in such a thing via a forum I was hesitant of the outcome. This thread has shown me otherwise and I’m happy to see others being so generous to essentially strangers. For that I am thankful to be a part of this forum, and that in its self will hold me over this year!

... I cannot wait until next year!!!

Even if you do get Scrooged, Rev will make sure you get something.

Beautiful birds! My grandmother had birds most of her life. If I had time for one, I would have one but alas... my work schedule would not be nice for a bird.

Unfortunately I didn’t even participate, I was hesitant since never having experience in such a thing. But now I know there are still good people!

Happy Holidays everyone; until next year!

My Apex Lite has started to get wonky. Neptune offered me a discount I couldn't refuse.

Thank you to my wonderful Secret Santa, Jake (not sure what your R2R name is)! The gifts couldn't have come at a better time. My father in law unexpectedly passed away last week and today is my birthday. It put a much needed smile on my face (and my husband's). Thank you for the very thoughtful card as well.

Happy holidays to all!!

Happy Birthday!

There's probably more coming, and honestly it's not cool to be openly telling people you're going to regift what they sent you.

There may be more coming. Or it's all your SS was able to afford to send you.. Never know...

Tamberav · Dec 17, 2019

I keep checking outside every day for a package, I am very excited! Also excited for the one that is coming to my recipient.

It would be a pleasant surprise but it doesn't really matter.I've always been more of a giver.My wife says I'm impossible to shop for the older I get. I'm more exited about the gifts going to my recipient.
I'm king of the regift.I saw a thing on the news that 71% of people regift.I never feel guilty about it.
Your right!I probably shouldn't have put it out there
.I have a guy that will love and appreciate them however.

I am excited to send mine out tomorrow. it took a bit of time to conceptualize ,get the goodies and make. nothing like a homemade gift. really hope my SS likes it.
he/she should have it in time for xmass.

My recipient got there gift some time ago, but never posted in this thread. Hopefully they enjoyed the goodies! I'm still eagerly awaiting my gift, but may have to wait until after Christmas since I am going out of state in a few days and won't be back until the 28th. I love gift exchanges, mostly seeing the excitement in other people when they get something they really like or can use!

News also said 99% of people don’t feel great when they find out their generous cute gift was unsatisfactory to their recipient who openly proclaims it’ll be regifted, when he could have just kept it to himself like the rest of the “71% of people who regift”. You admit being impossible to shop/buy gifts for, yet you shame secret Santa for falling short? .... It’s the thought that counts, buddy!!!!! Be thankful, spread the joy.
