FORUM EVENT: "I-MOCKERY'S 2013 SECRET SANTA EVENT!"

[replicant]

For many a reason my planned gifting didn't go the way I wanted it to, and I had to opt for a very austere and humble (i.e. not as creative as I wanted to get) gifting of goodies. Please forgive me "recipient"....I think you will like what I am having sent but I plan to actually (this is of my own planning )do a little something extra when you least expect it since I have your address (mwahaha)...effing Amazon #$#(*$&#($#$.... Sadly the gift is scheduled to get delivered December 17th in the evening. Crossing my fingers.

Yeah, same here. I tried to be creative, but seeing the packages others have gotten so far makes me feel like I could have crammed more stuff in. The pickings for retro/novelty stuff at the flea market aren't so good around these parts.

Hello! Earlier last week I received something from the frozen north. My secret santa present from none other but Ronin S. What a package it was.



Oooh a letter let's see.It included a list of everything just in case those dastardly customs officers had looted my package. I'm happy to say everything arrived safely. Including this wonderful limerick, that I hope you won't mind me sharing:

A young teenaged guy named Ted
went out and fought the undead
Looked up and around
And what had he found?
A well blasted zombie head.

I have to say that's quite a start. Let's dig in


lucky, hmm haven't heard of it but it's cappuccino flavored so it has to be good.



Strawberry pocky! It's almost as though you read my mind and knew of my love for japanese snack foods and candy.



Hrm Tropical Pocky, I haven't tried it yet but it looks promising.



Almond crush pocky is my favorite version of pocky! I was really excited when I saw this.


More lucky sticks. with all this luck I may have to play the lottery.



Maple flavored popcorn. Is this what Canada tastes like? if so I may move.



Lookit this little Mountie Teddy Bear. It's cute, and also comes with a short history of the Mounted Police. If toy story is right he's going to commander another toy to ride on and police my room.



Last but not least, an Official Certified Zombie killer sign. According to the letter I am now a certified Zombie killer, watch out Zombies I have a license to kill.

Thank you very much Ronin! Sorry It took so long to upload, finals week and what not. Also not pictured are the fish stickers because my roommate was moderately amused and may have absconded with them.

It was delivered the 18th in the afternoon! I didn't get home until the evening. Now, I had planned to take a video of my unboxing... But, um, I didn't realize what it was I've ordered a handful of things from different sites the past weeks, and didn't connect that this might be a gift. However, let me say that replicant did an excellent job as santa.


I received 2 James Bond novels (I've only ever read Goldfinger and On Her Majesty's Secret Service), but I love love LOVE these minimal covers. They give a touch of class that's very fitting for 007.

I am so glad you like them! I am a big bond fan. I am a Roger Moore gal.
I am sorry it's just those two books. I had a bunch of other things planned but Amazon screwed things up. I was worried about making the deadline and since shipping takes time to the Great White North...I said screw it and change plans. But expect a surpise in the next 3 months to make up for it. And don't say, you don't have to? You like tea so...expect some awesome tea...(which was meant to come with your package).

Hahahah this is awesome. I was reading through that thread a couple weeks back and started feeling sad that this part of the gift never showed up. I figured a lighter with everyone's favourite Chairman would be appreciated - as well as the neat green flame! I had a coworker translate it a while back. It reads something like "To serve the people".

I'm glad you liked it! I also don't know much about my little pony, but I do know about "derpy" (started out as an artist mistake that they worked into the show) I hang my head in shame with getting that lego minifigure wrong.

Does tracking show if they attempted delivery? I've heard some horror stories about those package claim slips they leave, blowing away.

It does not say whether the post office attempted to send it to him or if the recepient attempted to pick it up. I`ll try and get in contact with that post office and see what`s going on with it.
If the claim notice blew away... oh god...

if it did it's no big deal. can still claim the package with ID. it's just without it, you wouldnt know you have a package waiting.

NP. Btw since I know your Bond fan. I don't know if you guys get BBC programs up there but BBC America is going to air a new series at the month called Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/wor...13fleming.html
