Thanks guys! BTW, what's the target budget?
Whatever you are comfortable with, and remember quality/thoughtfulness is more important than cost.

This is one of the most wonderful, memorable FOT events of the year. Come one, come all, join the FOT Secret Santa brigade! It really is as much fun to give as it is to receive!

Thanks for taking the reins on this Meagan!

You're welcome! Thank YOU! TWO MORE DAYS TO SIGN UP, EVERYBODY!

I want thank my 2011 Secret Santa again. The package was so awesome I didn't want to make everybody else jealous by showing it off. It'd just be bragging. (I don't know what it says about me that the best present ever came from a complete stranger!)
2011 Secret Santa, I hope your karma came back around in 2012. Thanks again!
-
I missed the sign up?! Well, fart.

Tito, you bundle of lovely, I will send you a little something if you like.

How fancy...I would love that, Dave. And I'll reciprocate (because I want to).

Hi guys! Your Sontee information has been sent out. Just a reminder gifts should ideally be received by the end of December. If that's going to be a problem, please let me know. Please also let me know when you've sent out your gift, and when you've received it. Much appreciated.
Most importantly: POST YOUR STUFF WHEN YOU GET IT! Happy giving and receiving.
-
I got something that I suspect is from Sonta (I don't recall ordering anything that required a large tube) but I'm not opening it until the 25th :)

-
Don't forget to post a pic when you open it...exciting stuff!
-
Yes! Please post pics when you open your gifts! Hope everyone's having fun.
-
I got what I thin ia another FOTmas gift :) ohboyohboyohboy

;D
-
Not for nuthin' but I just hope Santa doesn't frown on me again this year.
-
Yippee! I received my Secret Sonta package today from Seattle! I haven't opened it yet (rushing right back out the door) but I will post again when I do. Thank you, whoever you are!

Well...I guess I'll be the first one to show off my goodies! Wait a minute...that just did NOT sound right. ANYway...WOW! I just opened my present and I am thrilled! Everything in the box is so "ME" that I can hardly believe it is from someone I've likely never met. I HOPE I am correctly posting the photo of what I found inside this wonderful package: Pantone coasters (already on my table), a Lichtenstein book, an issue of Magnet from 2000 featuring Yo La Tengo (my favorite band), some beautiful Japanese Kamoi Paper tape and twine from the Seattle Art Museum, a "You'll Pay You!" pin and - oh my gosh - the CHOCOLATE...four bars of Theo chocolate! I have already tried the Fig Fennel & Almond and the Coconut Curry and both are AMAZING! Yes, I know I am using a lot of exclamation points but I really am that excited! Thank you thank you THANK YOU, Secret Sonta (whoever you are) for such a thoughtful and FUN gift! Coolest present ever...I LOVE it. I hope your Sonta is just as good to you.
-
Wow, Lisa, you cleaned UP! I really love those Pantone coasters. I might have to ask your Sonta where they're from. Please post pics of your presents if you get a chance, guys! I love seeing this stuff.
Thank you VERY much to everyone who sent me a message to let me know the status of your giving and receiving. If you have not done that and have a spare moment, it would be great to hear from you so I can figure out who is still expecting their gift at the end of the year.
THANKS GUYS I LOVE YOU.

Merry FOTMas Everyone :)
Thanks to My Sonta for this awesome haul that takes not 1 not 2 but 3 pictures to completely detail!!!!!!!!!! :D
Hope everyone's Sonta was as generous as mine was :)

I have made my purchases for a Von Tito Christmas; now I just have to find a post office.

Looks great, QG! Nice haul! Thanks for posting.

Yahoo! Santa delivered a bounty this year, and it is too cool not to post (even though it raises the bar for everyone).
Pictured below: Mrs Dudep with the Southern Music Issue of Oxford American (with Louisiana music comp), How To Sharpen Pencils, a Merge Records sampler cd, and a Trekky Records cassette.

We also got some delicious blister-fried chocolate peanuts (apparently a North Carolina specialty) and a sweet Jay Reatard tribute 7". Thanks TCD!!!!
-
Yay, pictures are starting to creep in! :)

My Secret Sonta package from Maplewood, NJ arrived:
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-p86HRnURXWY/UNv037pBGJI/AAAAAAAADL8/EWqJ5GdkPqM/s512/SecretSonta2012.jpg)
Some books, a couple of t-shirts, classic FMU bumper stickers, spy glasses, ouija board mints and a WFMU lunchbox filled with candy [lunchbox not pictured].
Thank you, Secret Sonta...whoever you are [I have my suspicions]!
-
Neato! A Philly package: some Tasty-Kakes and Peanut chews along with a couple of records (Destroyer & Kelley Stolz)! Luckily, my primary music-listening source at home is a record player! Thanks so much, Chris!

The awesome Lee and Stacey o'Asheville really came through for me this year with a variety of Southern delights, including that most Southern and most delightful, racism! Here's the spread and Pedro on my Best Show wall. (Not pictured, my beard-earning certificate from last year. Too much awesome for one imgur link!) And thanks so much, guys. I love Cheerwine, and the fireworks will go over well my girlfriend's kid. You rock.

It's a STEVE LAMBERT letterpress print! I think it's fantastic. My wife LOVES it. Thank you, Secret Sonta!

Posting a photo might take me a whole year, so let me just say thanks to Pete! My Secret Sonta package arrived, tonight, on New Year's Eve. I received the PENCIL book!, yes, "How to Sharpen Pencils", which I've wanted to read. And delicious homemade PANFORTE, an Italian treat I love, rendered by Pete, who, impressively, candied his own orange rind and cherries for the candied spice fruitcake! Thanks for the perfect FOTs-mas present!
(Thanks, too, to Meagan for enabling the FOTs-mas cheer.)
Happy New Year!

WHOA.
In other news, a mysterious packaged addressed to J. Scratchbomb is sitting at the post office. If this is for us, I am inclined to think I may have a hard time picking it up as we don't have legal ID with those names on them. I will keep you posted.
-
Yes! Got my package today from Jason!! Lots of fun stuff here! Chocolate! Monkeys! Magazines! Monkeys! Strummer! More monkeys!

HOLY smokes, everyone got amazing stuff!!! What generous FOTs. Keep the pictures coming! JustSheaNo, any update on your post office visit?

I finally drove back home yesterday and there was a Sonta package waiting for me! I opened it with a huge smile on my face. BadGuyZero put together an amazing assortment of gifts, including a signed Philly Boy Roy photo that I just might matte and frame. It's especially perfect because I took the R5 all through high school.
Thank you BGZ and thanks Meagan for organizing everything!

The CDs are a personalized mix and bootlegs of Harry Nilsson, the New Pornographers, and The Kinks. So awesome! The cat loved the wrapping, too.
