Package sent! I think my giftee will be very pleased!

I hope it is not too late, but my strategy for saving on international shipping is buying the gift on the person's country and ask the seller to send it directly to that person.

Cheers!

I received my package over the weekend. I'm excited to open it, but was hoping to hold off 'til Christmas. :-)

Also, nice stuff you got soera!

That's an awful long time to wait.

I really want to save my gift for opening on Christmas. But I think I'd end up tearing into it as soon as it got here anyway.

All right, here is the pic of my stuff!

Wow, score! Somebody had a generous Secret Santa!

This.

Soera's SS kicks ass

I would have waited ... no, I wouldnt have.

Not too late! The cut off time for shipping is this Saturday. You have almost a whole week. And thats probably not a bad idea!

[soera]

Btw, updated the first post on who has posted receiving and shipping their gift.

[disgaeniac]

Received my gifts in today's mail!

My 'Secret-Santa' was very generous -and- did an excellent job in finding gifts that fit my tastes...*Perfectly*

Since I'm such a 'techno-feeble', and need the help of my brother-in-law and/or sister to take/post good pics - I'll just list (what I was lucky enough:) to receive:

- Disgae: Hour of Darkness Official Strategy Guide + a sealed copy of the Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice OST (can't ever go wrong when choosing 'Disgaea' items for the DISGAENIAC 

- Patapon (CiB) for the PSP

- CRASH: Tag Team Racing (sealed) for the PS2

- McFarlane's Evil Prophecy (sealed) - also for the PS2; never even heard of it -but- definitely looks like something that I'd like, -and-

(at the great & obvious risk of giving away the identity of my Secret Santa...

... - A Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (sealed) "Green Bays Map Screen Wipe".

Thanks so much, SS

Man, these santas can't have sent all this without busting $30, right? I busted it with not even half as much... 

[desocietas]

I'll definitely be busting the limit, but I decided to not include shipping into the cost personally.  All in the spirit!  As long as I tell myself to not expect that my SS will do the same.

[Oheao]

This sounds very interesting! I know that I missed the deadline, but oh well, maybe next year!

Yeah, I did the same, too. I just felt that the gift I found wasn't enough when I took shipping into account, but with a little extra I think I got something nice

I finally got my gift sent out. Should make it in plenty of time.
I think i will fallow the trend of other people and when I get my package not open it until christmas.
Got to say I am having fun so far with this.

I think only Quanchi decided that. Most the rest of us said we didn't care if people opened our presents early.
