This is the official FOT Secret Santa 2008 Thread

I did identify myself, but I'm pretty sure my person already knows who has his/her name.

My person can feel free to open the package at any time. Nothing perishable or time-sensitive inside, but I don't mind if he/she doesn't want to wait.

I didn't wait. Thank you so much for the cool package!

I got LOADS of new music to listen to, a journal booky-thing, a bacon air freshener and a new book to read.

You're an excellent Santa, MOS.

I am scared to death s/he will be small, and I will send too large, or worse, they will be large, and I will send too small. I am literally terrified with fear. And they like music way hipper than me, so my options are dwindling. DAMN YOU SECRET SANTA AND YOUR SECRETS YOU KEEP FROM THOSE WHO WOULD COURT YOU

Ah, you're talking about me then.  Medium for small-leaning shirt brands like American Apparel, small for most brands.

I'll be happy to send you my suit measurements if you wish.

Oh good, I hope you enjoy it. An All-Ohio music extravaganza awaits!

I just want to make a public statement that my Santee MAY get their gift a little late. Took me longer to get on this than I wanted to and shipping on the items isn't helping. So if you don't have anything come the 25th fret not. It will be there! (Possible) Apologies in advance!

[Kim Kelly]

Shipped!

i ran into this as well, dfk.  hence, i refused to send any music or clothes (which was what i really wanted to get my secret santa) because i feared i would get the wrong size or send music they already had or would hate. 

[snogrog]

I think a mix cd or something would be a nice gesture. Regardless if they like the music or not, I think it's a cool idea to give a mix kind of either giving the santee an idea of what you are into, or just a good "theme" mix. I'll probably throw one in for my santee just because i like making mixes and the potential idea of introducing somebody to some new music.

[Kim Kelly]

Books are always wonderful gifts.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

true.  i always go pillaging through amazon.com during the christmas season for books.  im THE book giver and no one has complained yet.

although, my secret santee didn't throw me a bone in the secret santa helper thread so they are getting rogue gifts made by yours truly that im crossing my fingers theyll enjoy.

or possibly  


it could go either way.

[erika]

WFMU merch is a nice way to go too. Everyone here likes FMU and it gives money to the station!

Also, everyone likes stickers. (If you don't, I feel sorry for you.)

[Sarah]

Got to say, I'm not a fan of them.

I gave my Santee a big box full of miscellaneous stuff some of which, at least, s/he may enjoy.  At the very least, all the bubble wrap will be fun to play with.

[erika]

Oh man. I love little stickers I can stick on my lighters so no one steals them.

Wait. Maybe I'm too old for this shit. (probably not)

[Andy]

stickers are for queers.
