VGCollect 2025 Secret Santa!

[Cartagia]

Got all my game shopping done in one fell swoop this morning!  Not to find extra goodies to add.

I can corroborate this story.

Sounds like a team effort was had  I'm going to start looking sometime this weekend! Been really swamped right now.

Gifts wrapped. Note written. Swag added. Box sealed.

I'm going to wait a bit before shipping, so I'm placing the gift out of sight until November. I don't want to wait too long to ship since I'm guessing shipping prices will increase as Christmas gets closer.

Wow, you are on it!

Anyone else going to ship their gifts soon? I'm probably gonna head to the post office on Saturday or Sunday.

I'm still in the gift-gathering phase, though hopefully I'm not the only one at this stage.

It was mentioned before but never gained a response, but should we agree on a specific deadline for when items should be delivered?

I'd appreciate if the shipping date would be December 5th for Domestic U.S. people.  Black Friday is when all my local game stores have sales and often solid inventory for the holidays so it's the best chance to find something locally or take advantage of great sales online.  December 5th gives enough time so that if I do order something that requires shipping- it will likely arrive by then if ordered the week before.  Hopefully the 5th would not interfere with persons trying to do a group opening event later in the month.

Since the matter of a specific date when parcels should be shipped seems rather dependent on each calendar year, I'm directing conversation to this year's topic.

For context, Black Friday for 2025 is on November 28. Personally, I think it may make more sense to have a specific date when items should arrive (or be projected to arrive, as mailing systems aren't fully reliable) instead of when they should be sent.

I'm going shopping this weekend! 

[kashell]

Yep! I'm going to be shipping this weekend, as well!

[telly]

I'm all done shopping! I hope my recipient will like their gifts, also I hope they will catch the silly theme I came up with for their items.

Done and done. The package is on it's merry way.
