SA of Austria any update on the issue with customs? It looks like the card still hasn't moved since the 10th
SV of CA your gift has arrived safe and sound. I almost spoiled myself from opening the box because I thought stuff would be wrapped but I didn't see anything but a black card and the bubble wrap
Reposting the card I received. What the freak Lois
Dear CB from GAYour card arrived to Germany this week. I planned to already post on Monday, but I was suddenly banned from all boards for a violation of global rule 5 lmao. Sorry! Here's what I tried to post back then:Thank you, I love the card very much. The physicality of it and the coloring is also really nice. Good choice drawing Miku, you should definitely give the anime another try and root for the cutest, Miku, I think it can be a big plus if girls have a fleshed out intellectual interest in something, japanese history in her case or astronomy in the case of the foom. Thanks for including Trude and the Hibike girls as well. You say it's mainly for protection but it's also a nice thing to look at, it even smells nice. In terms of recent anime I watched, I guess there wasn't a lot this year. Roshidere was alright and I've picked up Re:Zero again, but I think I watched more old stuff than new. I will definitely give "Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku" a try, the trailer looks promising. I was reminded of Horimiya for some reason which is another great one from Cloverworks, even though the style may be closer to Dress-up DarlingTbqh my Christmas season hasn't been great until now, but anons' cards make it a lot better. I will do my best to enjoy the rest of it, I feel a bit more capable today. Thanks again and I also hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Vincent of Spain, got in contact with Spanish Customs and unfortunately they have decided my card and chocolates are over €150 of value and have seized the card until I provide documentation of the price of every little thing (which will unfortunately reveal it is subject to VATs. Here's a picture of the letter you were going to receive. If customs ever returns the letter I'll try and send it back out to you.
Looks like I'll be eating pussy again this year! Another rare pick by VV from France with super festive Noriko and Kazumi. Yellow subs are a great touch and I love the space effect! The washi tapes are very coote, too (now that I look I didn't take a picture of them lol).I can be a bit of a grump sometimes so if my words ever come out that way, please don't take me too seriously, I'm genuinely super happy to see you again. I had a lot of trouble with motivation this year as well, August wasn't the best month for me this year so it took me a while before I got over my shit and could focus on the merry stuff. Sometimes we just have to keep struggling. Know that we're both here forever and I love you the way only a heterosexual man can love another heterosexual(???) man, as the ancient Greeks intended.I like Dungeon Meshi a lot and was very pleasantly surprised by the adaptation this year, I'm super excited to see how they handle the second half of the manga. It's also one of the very few series I can sort of talk about with my irl friends, I was surprised by the assortment of people who actually watched it.Dying to find out what you have in store for me, in the meantime I have already attacked the sweets you included and I'm hooked on the marshmallow bears. I assumed they're gingerbread at first so the first bite was very confusing. Well, see you again in a few days!
>>274287409>cooteAlcohol, please understand
I've received my first cards this year and gift! But first, posting some cards from last year that I haven't gotten around to since they arrived after last thread was postedJH from Singapore,I hope you're still around because I WILL find you and I WILL love you (no homo). I almost didn't get your card because the post office failed to notify me (they would've sent it back), but I was checking tracking so just went there and asked for it.Thank you for this absolutely beautiful homocard. You have gifted me not one, but two Getos, this is my wildest lewd dream. What's better than one deranged husbando? TWO. I love the expressions so much and fully agree that long haired version is the bestest.>calling Barnaby a fuckboy nerdanon pls,he has suffered enough,I do hope you get to watch Tiger&Bunny because it's genuinely funthe little doodles are so cute and I admit I questioned the same thing about Kurama's tail,it really makes you think,doesn't it? the dual human/yoko form with the shikishi is such a creative touch,I love the sparkly foils you chose as wellYour Gattsu is very comfy, I am happy he is finally getting some well deserved restI'll post the extras in the following post.
4 days
>>274287825I swear it was at like 60 just a week ago.....I'm scared bros
>>274287642the extrasthe snacks were delicious,it's on my wishlist to get to visit an actual donki store,hopefully I manage to do this next year,the donki pouch has been loved and usedthe keychain is beautiful,where do you even get to commission such pretty items? I wish the photo could capture the way it sparkles,static pictures really don't do it justicemy moonrune reading is weak but with a little help I managed to read the funbookthank you again for the beautiful card and the extras,I hope you have a wonderful Christmas this year as well and that you got to draw more fun cards
we got a lot of keychains this year it looks like. I'm jealous
next,DMD of DE I am disappointed you scrapped the even lewder design. Very shameful of you but I appreciate this Holo as well, she looks very playful
USPS HURRY let me ship my package to Canada!!
Now stuff from this year, AP of Italy/Romania the gifts are safe and sound with me.The courier is being dumb again so I did not receive the last part of the gift,I am assuming this might happen after Christmas,so I will open what I have on the joyful day.I have eaten part of the snacks (not included in the picture), those Tartufini Dolci are incredibly good and I'll have to get my hands on more.
Got two really cool cards this weekFirst thank youCB from GAThe wooden card is beautiful and I really like the cute Reimi.I'm glad to hear you've seen some gdgd fairies and Aharen-san both are really good. Also thank you for the K-ON! extra I really like it and while put it in one of my K-ON! displays.My Christmas season has been good thanks to the card. Hope yours is too!
MK of ABDon't worry, you're not getting grinched! I'm waiting on the arrival of a few more things for your gift which I ordered in early November. Once the things I ordered for you finally arrive (which should be soon), your gift will be headed out the door and should arrive quickly, given our proximity If you would like though, I could get your card scanned tomorrow and send it digitally so you can see it before Christmas.
Sad to be a leaf this year... Can't receive nor spread joy...
>>274288309that's what you get for not paying your postal workers fairly
>>274288309>this yearthat's every year
>>274288121Second card thank you MB of GermanyAnother beautiful wooden Shuumatsu Train card! The whole gang being there is nice, I also like how Akira is just standing there while everyone else poses.The stone coaster is also really cool and the K-ON! and Padoru ornaments are awesome. I need to get some string and hang them on the tree.Thank you again for the card and hope you have a Merry Christmas!
I haven't peeked in the box yet, but I just want to let SM of OR know that his delivery has arrived safe and sound to me and I am waiting patiently to open it up!
Now, YLLof Italy I got your package today the courier woke me up>anon actually sent me a pesto jarthis is a really good move to counter all that sugar,I applaud youyour card is very beautiful and I am so happy I put Nier on the list,for every anon that would bully me,there would be one that shares the love for hot android waifus, this 2B is gorgeousthank you again,tomorrow I will put the pesto to good use! I've eaten one of the Venci chocolates and this too shall go on my to buy list,can't wait to try the other stuff too!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news RH but you appear to have made the mistake we all fear: you put the wrong card in the wrong envelope. I am certainly not Canadian, I'm PG from UK It is a nice card though and I did enjoy DIY, I'm perfectly happy to keep the card if whatever anon receives mine is fine keeping that. If you give me their initials maybe I can request them for cards next year and send it then
>>274288731we got a WINNER
>five days until Christmas>no initials in threads>no shipping emailsfeels bad man
thank you JS of ORI received your wonderful card and was very surprised with the bonus presentI love the Ran collage on the card, very good unicornI'm glad I gave you a list of classics to add to your backlog, I'll be sure to add VOTOMS to my own, there's the obvious Gundam comparison, but it reminds me more of SPT Layzner at glancethanks again for the gift! it's nicely giftwrapped so I'll be sure to open it on Christmas Day, if that's alright with youMerry Christmas!
>>274288731oh no no noCute purin
>>274288357Those low-effort cunts held the public hostage for a 25% wage increase while working for a company they know is actively dying. When all the 'temporary students' are kicked out I hope they're brought in to fill in the staff shortage at Tim Hortons so they can find a way to fuck up operating the cream dispenser. >>274288304Thanks for the update. The same issue has held up my own parcel so it's fine. I leave it up to you, I sent santa pics of all my cards to distribute out to assignments since they're definitely going to be late, but given the circumstances I'm not living and dying by a deadline.
>>274288996lol no one would care if I striked, no one would even notice. I wish I knew how the power feels like to strike as a postman the weeks before christmas, haha that's evil
>>274288454Second pack with snacks is from CL of Brazil and after being stuck in customs for more than it took to actually reach my country,I managed to pick it up.damn anon,you really packed some goodies here,I love peanut stuff so those 2 little crunchy things have been basically inhaled the second I opened the box. I tried 2 of those chocolate egg shaped crunchy snacks (the ouro) too and they're delicious, can't wait to try the rest too!I have enough sweets to last me many weeks, thank you anons for the high blood sugar!The card is so creative and cute,I did not notice Sheryl was naked at first,I love her confused expressions,the stacked pengus,the lever,them handing the bottle to nyanko sensei and longcat, too good,I love it!A kurisumasu themed Princess of the Crystal is a really nice touch,you nailed it, and the little stars are very on theme.And don't worry, you got Sheryl's color right, I'd definitely push you to watch Macross Frontier, do it anon!>2011 was 32 year agowe're getting old by the second aren't' we?that Haruhi looks very flustered but damn,how good is your eyesight to draw so small,I'm so envious.I-if you would like a thank you card please let me know,the sugar from all these sweets is enough to power me for a few cards Valid for Italy anon too if you read this.
thanks TS of PAthis is such a unique card, I love itthe popup girls are very cuteand if you were serious about crafting this card last minute, that's even more impressive with how well it was done, but no procrastinating next year please, think of what you could accomplish with time alongside your fantastic artistic skill!good luck with watching through Endless Eight this year and a very Merry Christmas to you!
AS of Ireland Your card was attempted to be delivered but it looks like it didn't work. Santas should have forwarded you the invoice and shipping label. Were you able to contact UPS to see what's going on and why they weren't able to deliver it?ADoG of Spain (A Denizen of Gile): Santas should have forwarded you the invoice and shipping label for the card. I had another anon in Spain provide me their email and phone number and I conveyed that info to UPS. They later contacted him and he indicated that "they wanted me to sign a few documents" and now his card is in customs clearance process according to tracking. You should do the same; contact UPS and figure out what they need from you to get clearance info moving. Unfortunately your card will likely be delayed until after Christmas if you're not already in clearance queue.
Hello KN of ON, RPH here, I received your package/card. First of all, thank you so much for everything you sent, you went above and beyond. You were worried that it wouldn't make it in time but it absolutely did. I only signed up for cards this year so I was not expecting getting a whole box of goodies. The Yuno card was very cute, I especially enjoyed the stickers matching the sentiments of what you wrote, it was a nice touch. Thank you very much for the cool wooden coaster as well, I always keep a bottle on my desk so it'll be a nice addition.I should probably ask as well, are you the same person that anti-grinched me a few years ago? If so, I'd like to apologize to you for not giving a proper answer after you spoiled me with gifts back then (I still use the Yui cup by the way). I was moving back to my parents place at the time so the timing was a bit off but still, I should've at least sent you a thank you card since I had your address. You've been way too kind to me twice now, if there's anything I can do to make it up to you, I'd like to know. You can contact me at t3mailrm@gmail.com if needed, if not, at least let me know of some of your favorite characters and series so that I can send you something nice in return.Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!
XAM of CA very, very sorry for cutting it so close; I really wanted to get this handmade gift perfected before sending it out, but my skills are much worse than I initially estimated.I'll be shipping the gift that isn't handmade tomorrow, since you deserve to have at least something to open on Christmas. I'll send you the other gift as soon as it's done.
>>274289152I forgot the most important thing,anon has gifted me cute socks! I'll try them on!
Some cards came in over the week!First up NRD of NV Thank you so much for the edited Aki card! She looks adorable and while I haven't watched as much as I'd like to, I've had a fine year. Thank you and Merry Christmas! Thanks for the 20 bucks, I almost feel obligated to actually use it for 4chan gold lmao. I'll use it for some fun stuff as a birthday present since that's tomorrow!
>>274287409Well thank god you got it in time. I wrote your letter first so I just dumped all the foul mood I had on you, sorry about that.Im actually still finishing up 9 more cards for friends, they're never getting them on time, and I'm tired out of my mind. We're all good now so let's forget about the depressing stuff. I love you too, for real. Let's have a nice christm/a/s. No cheating this year with wrapped sweets. All up front. I feel kind of bad that my gift looks so tiny and lame, especially since in this bracket people tend to go overboard and add gifts upon gifts, but I hope you find it neat. Since we've interacted before, I tried thinking about something you'd enjoy.Love.
F-C from CAAB from SCJtA from NCS from PA andJJ T from SC I sent your cards earlier this week. They will most likely be late, but I hope you'll enjoy them anyway. Merry Christmas!
RL of WA just in case you didn't see it, I posted your card in the last thread: >>274167497Thanks again!
ARP from Spain - I finally got package from you! At first I wasn't sure if the contents were wrapped, but fortunately they were. Can't wait to open it!
To my Finnish santa, your gifts arrived on time! I'm loving the card you sent as well, Nui is love.
>>274288871Same here bro, I really don't wanna be grinched 2 years in a row
>>274289537Next up, JL of WI Thank you so much for the card, terrapins, and the etched glass ornament! The papercut is absolutely amazing and I adore her snoozing face. I did infact recieve a few cookies this year. I would have loved the stylizations too but base Aki is best!The ornament is also on my little tree in my desk, it looks great surrounded by my waifu!The chocolates are also so damn fancy you gotta call em by their scientific name! Thank you!Merry Christmas!
>>274288871I got the shipping email yesterday. I don't know why my anon decided to wait so long to ship internationally. But I suspect I'm getting grinched by their sheer incompetence
>>274290073Finally, ID of CA I love the cute Aki, its full of soul so don't apologize! Thank you for the treats as well!
>>274288871>>274289998Damn, that blows. Reading that, I feel silly for worrying about not getting a card/being anxious about whether or not my anon received theirs, while I have my present here waiting to be opened.I hope your Santas are just Canadian or maybe I should not? and things work out. If not, there's always anti-grinching, at least.
>>274289537You're very welcome! I hope I did Aki justice, and that the new Keroro Gunso anime, whenever it comes out, is to your liking.And you'd better fuckin' use my $20 for 4chan Gold. This site needs every penny it can get (and not having captcha is so damn nice that if even if you post here once a year, it's worth the money.
AV from France - I also just opened the package. Thanks for the lovely stickers and the stamps! I'm still quite impressed that you've managed to pull this off considering how little time you've had. About the list - yes, it is quite varied, I'm including more popular series (that I really liked of course) to also include those anons who haven't seen my favorite ones. I'm really curious what's under the wrapping paper!
>>274289582>I feel kind of bad that my gift looks so tiny and lamePlease don't, I meant what I wrote in my wishlist, the size really does not matter.And I won't elaborate further, there's been enough of that in the early threads.
Got two cards to post. First up, S from PA. Apologies for getting to this one so late, I got it near the beginning of the month but did not have a chance to post it until now. First of all, thank you so much for the cookies. They were absolutely delicious. Galaxy Angel is a fun series and has a lot of great waifus that people just don't talk about a lot today. And the Nina face is perfect, 10/10 sketch. Thank you so much!
>>274290294>This site needs every penny it can getI didn't know Hiroshimoot participated in /ss/.
Second is NB from CA.I absolutely love your Revy outline, and I love the Kenshiro and Nina pictures as well as the cute Forte picture on the back. I love the ornament as well! Thank you so much.
>>274289237Last thread had an Ireland anon posting about his delivery location not accepting packages due to it being full. Could be him? No idea. >>274151951
MM of Romania and CY of AustraliaI was finally able to get your cards sent out on Tuesday, they won't make it in time for Christmas especially since even though the strike is over there is a large backlog of mail for them to get through. I hope they arrive sooner rather then later, but I can also email pictures of them too if you would want that.
KZ of CA, did you get my card? I didn't see you post it.
>>274290073Glad everything arrived safe! Merry Christmas again!
JM of MDAAAAAH Thank you so much! Where do I even start here? Your Ryuko is cute and has tons of attitude and the watercoloring is super nice and delicate, the Mako pencil drawing censorship fits her character well and is fun, and the bonus Satsuki comic is really charming and has great expressions! I like the constellation tape you used for the border as well.And holy shit, thanks for the candy as well! I've dipped into the chocolate already and it's really great.In honor of you, anon, I'll rewatch Kill la Kill again and decide for sure whether I prefer Satsuki or Ryuko. Next year there won't be any maybes. Though a perhaps or probably might not be out of the question.Coloring white clothes is a pain isn't it? It can feel empty if you just leave it white, so the natural idea is the use shadows, but do you use actual grey, or maybe a light blue or a purple? It's tough, eh?I don't know what else to say but thank you and merry christmas.Would you be against a thank you card some time next year?
>>274289343Ye its me, that same anti-grinch guy lolI'm surprised you somehow still use that Yui cup I made, by this point I assumed it disintegrated, which is why I made you that coaster, speaking of which the previous gift I sent you was chalk full of junk, I assume you've thrown away the stamp and the glow standie lolYou don't HAVE to send me any cards or whatever but if you really want to, my waifu is Nami from Zetsubou sensei(lol)Well RPH I hope you have a Very Merry Christmas~
Got another card this week, from someone I've had as a cardanon last year. Thanks ID of CA. I was about to ask if Ein had a weapon to surpass Metal Gear but then I saw that reference you mentioned as I'm listening to Number Girl while I type this. I'm really liking them so far. And thanks for the candy, the strawberry mini-chocolates are especially good.Merry Christmas!
>>274286759>/ss/ thread with Excel Saga in the OPchristmas came early!>>274289435TAKE YOUR TIME ANON! I'm so happy to hear that you're considering me this much, no need to rush at all! Happy holidays and no matter how long it takes I'm excited to open your gift and to one day make you something. Unless I already have in the past
>>274287173>>274288121I'm glad you both enjoyed it! I'm sorry to hear your Christmas hasn't been great so far E but I hope you have a better 2025. Merry Christmas to you both!>>274177090>>274173054>>274103263I missed your posts last thread, but I’m glad you all liked the cards. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!I forgot to mention in the card itself, but>>274287173>>274177090>>274061702You guys were all my whitelist cards.
I got three amazing cards this week. The first one is from CP of VALast year I posted about how nice your cards were and lucked out by getting one of my own delivered a few hours later. I lucked out again and got another one for the second year in a row!I love your art style, and your Mitsuki is no less beautiful than your Ichigo. I’ll cherish them both forever.Thank you for the kind words about drastically improving your life this year, I did not realize me introducing you to Aikatsu music would bring you such happiness and fortune, while also improving your taste in anime.Your secret is safe with me, but I am disappointed in you for not yet watching Aikatsu.Thank you again anon, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
My next card is from ID of CAThank you so much for the lovely Kiyal card and all the treats! I wasn’t having a good day on the day that it was delivered, and it greatly improved my mood when I got home and saw that it was waiting for me. I always put Kiyal on my list, but people rarely draw her so its always fun to get a card of her.I tried watching Nana in the past, and I don’t remember what made me stop watching it. Funny enough, about a month ago I thought about giving it a try again and I have it downloaded and ready to watch. Since you mentioned it, I’m going to put it higher on my to watch list and give it another go next year.Thank you again, the treats were really good and I hope that your new job goes well and that you have a great Christmas and New Years!
My third card is from BR from CAAnother Kiyal card, and a really cool and unique one at that! You did such a great job on it, and I loved seeing your signature shark on it. It feels like I’ve collected a treasure from a regular anon whose cards I see posted year after year.Your art is really cute, and the 3d pop up element looks great! This is definitely one of the coolest card style’s I’ve seen. Thank you so much, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
CS from BCI mailed your gift out a couple days ago. It's through a third party courier so you should receive it sometime next week. I hope it doesn't arrive late, if it does I'm sorry ;_;
What's wrong with the post this year?I swear things moved faster near the lockdown.
>>274291894mail agencies can't hire good people these days it seems or they're getting lazier due to unions. I do agree even with covid things seemed way better than they are now compared to 2020
>>274291894For Canada or everywhere?
>>274287933I'm glad to see one of my card from last year!I have to scarp intial art, because I just doesn't like how it turned it out. From this year, I actually have begun add my discarded art into the cards as extras.But you are in luck, I still have the lewder one it in my archives! I wish you a Merry Christmas and have a great New Year!Cardhttps://files.catbox.moe/k482h1.pngAnd the scrapped more horny onehttps://files.catbox.moe/irhkpk.png
>>274287642I hope my card reaches you soon sob
>>274291894>>274291949USPS is suffering from excessing their regulars and layoffs and is attempting to use temps to replace them to everyone's horror please save me
>>274291869Thank you! I got the tracking info from the santas, so I'm eagerly watching and waiting for it to arrive. It'll get here when it gets here, so no worries from me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>274292148wew lad
>>274292393Don't post full names.
>>274292393anon don't post full names
>>274292393>doxxed s/a/nta
>>274292393This is why I'm always against initial posting. SECRET santa, not dox santa
>>274292825?? anon what do you think initials are
If anon gave their full government name to another anon on /a/ they obviously don't care about having it out there
>>274292825It's sad that it's no longer clear if this is bait or actual retard nowadays
>>274292825>They didn't have initials
>>274289152>how good is your eyesight to draw so small,I'm so envious.Well, guess I'll tell you my secret: I have high myopia, so when I want to focus on something I have to pretty much glue my very greasy face to it. Sorry anon, that's how your card was made, and not only Haruhi.Might as well tell my other secret too: the original idea was to draw speedo Barnaby but just thinking about his stupid homosexual hair made me tear up so I reworked an idea I had at the beginning instead.>I'd definitely push you to watch Macross Frontier, do it anon!I'm "already" halfway through it but some stuff happened and now I'm not in the mood to watch cartoons at all. I'll finish it as soon as things calm down.>I-if you would like a thank you card please let me knowDon't worry, I'm cool. Having my cards not sink into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean or be forever lost in the Bermuda Triangle is all I need for Christmas.I don't know if you noticed but you should be able to peel them off.
>>274292825include me in the screencap
>>274292870>>274292893>>274292885my mistake goddamn. whoever had me posted my full name too so desu i didnt really look twice when I copypasted. Oh well.
>>274292825This is advanced trolling
>>274292957Just delete the post retard.
That anon is clearly clinically retarded but we all have a ton of anons' names and nobody cares.Everyone should calm down and the santas should send the anon located closest to the poster a message to help him sign up for tardbux.
>>274292878I do, but I mostly trust whitelisted anons to know what they're doing.
>>274292825These threads always make me feel better about myself.
>>274292878>>274293010I wouldn't care about anons in this thread knowing my name. I would be a little annoyed however if these threads started popping up when other people were to do a background check on me. It's just not information that should be archived and accessible to the whole wide world, but in this case it's not the worst since the first name is missing.
>>274292393You post full names of your assignments. I stalk my assignments' addresses on Google Streetview. We are not the same.
>>274293010I stopped providing my real name when I could no longer trust you retards not to post it in the thread
>>274292825I haven't laughed this hard in a long time
>>274293063Thats how I feel too except about my name coming up. Anon posted a name not their social security number and ID photo. Even if a new boss asked about seeing my name on 4chan not like it could be traced to me. That's just me though.
>>274293152It's the principal of it. Back in the day we even looked down on initials posting, this is SECRET santa on an ANONYMOUS image board. We gotta draw a line somewhere
I knew I was right to give a nom de plume when signing up
Got this GAR as fuck card from JM of MD.Had a big goofy grin pulling this out of the box; this is definitely the best-dressed card I've received. I can't imagine the effort you had to put in to make something like this, especially with how layered it is. I'm just not hotblooded enough to comprehend the manly art of dress-making...>Stupid cat drawingExtremely cute drawing, anon; I like how Akari's hat squishes as she gets BTFO. I formally apologize to Aria-shachou for any slights I may have made against him. Also, what did you use to color this? I'm impressed by how clean it looks.The candy is very appreciated, and the fact it seems to be local to you makes it even more special. I already snacked on most of the chocolate.I actually got your card last week, but didn't have time to post it until now; my bad if I had you worrying whether I received it or not. I really appreciate the card, and I hope you have a very merry Christm/a/s, /a/non! If I hypothetically were to send a thank you card, is the return address on the box an okay place to send it?
>>274293152If you are an immigrant in the country you live in, "name surname of country" very well might be a unique identifier.
I'm retarded. MK from Finland, your gift is well on the way. But I noticed a few days after sending it that the card is still sitting on my other desk. I forgot to put it in the package. I'll send the card seperately, but it's gonna be way too late for christmas.
>>274293574good thing that particular anon's name wasn't even close to unique for their country. they deleted anyway so that anon probably didn't notice.
>>274292825
>5 days until Christmas Surely my giftee will acknowledge that he got my gift and my Santa will post my initials this weekend right?
>>274293250>Back in the day we shunned initialsI have been doing this for about 10 years now and this has never been a thing
SM of UK here, I got two new cards over the last week!Thank you RW for this banging card! I always enjoy a Tomboy Christmas and this will be no different! Sora no Woto is such a lovely show and I hope you enjoy it, because next year 2026 for me, sadly, I'll be in the stream and watching it again with all the other anons!Merry Christmas!
NC OF CA KICK ASS CARD! I love your bobobo and incredible art of Mob as well! SHOWHA SHOTAN! Holy fuck what an incredible series, I'm so glad to finally find another anon who appreciates this series too! You are a patrician and I'm so glad you have great taste. Cannot recc ping pong enough to you, was there a reason weren't able to watch it on the autism stream? Anyways, thank you for the awesome card and I can't wish you a happier new year anon!
To anybody scrolling that is wondering about the deleted post, it was an anon that posted somebody's full name in the thread and when called out on it, he claimed that the anon didn't give him initials. He did not understand the concept of taking somebody's full name and making the initials himself to post. Merry Christmas
AHHHHHH KURWA!!WG!!You have ruined christmas! They're W I D E! Not tall!!! I will never live this down....Cute Byakuya in the background! Thank you for the card and I'm happy to have got you a card also! Thank you!Merry Christmas!
>>274293842Thumbnail looks like cholo jesus.
>>274293851Post the name again while you're at it then
>>274293814>draw an s and throw a line on it>call it an fdo bongs really
>>274293776You were one of the ones posting the initials ignoring others protests
>>274293979As a bong, no. thats some posh shit, the rest of us despise those bongs
JtA of NC, it seems your gift is permanently stuck in "in Transit to Next Facility, Arriving Late". It was originally supposed to arrive on Monday. Sorry for the delay. Hope you get it by Christmas.
>>274293851Anon is now immortalized
Hey NT of VA, thank you so much for the card! I can't imagine how much it must've cost you to ship this to me during the strike, you're awesome. I love the drawings of Miku and Ononoki, they turned out really good! Glad you gave DIY a shot, it's such a fun anime. Unfortunately the glue you used isn't quite holding in some spots but I should be able to fix it before some of it falls off. Anyhow, very cute card, greatly appreciated! Hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year as well!
MS from IL Dl from NC fr from pa In each of your packages there was a flash drive that had my email on it.I am a foolish foolish boy and fat fingerer my own email!The correct email is snit1@ not sni1@
>>274288731Looking at it, I'm 99% sure that this card was supposed to be sent my way. I'll make sure to post yours once it comes in the mail, hopefully it gets here in a reasonable amount of time since, unfortunately, I'm in Canada. Thank you for posting it and thank you to my santa, regardless of the mistake.
>>274294402you're not a boy, you're a grown man with hair loss and wrinkles
>>274294627It's christmas you don't gotta be that way
>>274294663Sorry, I just made some christmas cookies and it was harder than I expected, it's 4am, fuck me
BC Mcbride from TNYour gift should arrive tomorrow, I sent tracking to the Santas, be on the look out!S from PAM from CATG from VAFor my whitelist cards I had the issue with the postages last thread, the lady in the counter told me they needed more postage, like what the fuck? The one in CA had already 2 stamps. I told her to go hang in a tree during christmas and sent your cards with the fastest priority shipping so you guys receive them before xmas hopefully.By the way S from PA you got my wife as a match and sent her a card with cookies, they were good ! Can't believe they didn't have jizz.And M from CA, we both got you, what are the odds. I hope you like my card more!
>>274294402Anon you did this last year too with your anti-grinch gift; I'm seeing a pattern
>>274294598I hope you enjoy my card when you get it (unless this is a 3 way screwup). You're RPH I'm guessing from checking the archives? On the bright side at least you got to see the card despite the postal strike
>>274294845I reused the text file from last yearI thought I fixed itDidn't bother to check it
>>274292393Kill yourself you retarded ape.
>>274292393>>274292825How can such a person even function.
>>274295123Should be blacklisted for that.
>>274295123>>274295013>>274295138We really should be calling out the people that tried to defend him too
>>274293893kek that's a good troll I never would've thought of that
>>274295138Should have been aborted in the first place. I want to believe that the second post was trolling but there are probably people that dumb
>>274290876I’m glad it finally made it to you. I’m not sure if you got tracking and looked at it, but it definitely looks like it made it to your city and then got loaded onto the wrong truck and took an extra 300 mile journey before coming back. In the end both characters are good picks. I’m glad it wasn't a disappointment I picked the character that may have been second best. I like to try and play off what people write, but started to second guess that decision part way through. You can send a thank you if you want, but don’t feel obligated. If we are both here forever anyway, we will likely be matched up in the future.>>274293535No worries on the delayed posting. I know that happens and I didn’t have any doubt you would get to it with the way you wrote the wishlist. Getting out my sewing machine for the first time in a while was a fun project. I actually had to remove layers since I initially went a bit overboard on poof. A good goth loli needs poof, but it makes for an unwieldily card. The card was done in water color. The candy are in fact from a local shop, with chocolates made in house. As I mentioned to the other anon, you can send a thank you to the return address, but don’t feel obligated. We can alway let fate match us up on a future Christmas.
I cant refuse food and my cards and gift sent me a bunch this year. I've probably already gained two pounds. rip
I'm meeting my Santa tomorrow for dinner after he hand delivers my gift, anything special I should do?
>>274295138Should blacklist the anons who keep bringing it up. Anon already deleted it so why keep posting about it if the issue was the name being seen. Pretty fucking stupid since it was over already.
>>274295274wash your cock and balls thoroughly
>>274295288Because anons look through the archive of /ss/ threads to see if their initials or cards were posted, retard. Deleting just gets rid of it momentarily.
>>274295259you will be fine, lots of protein in those cookies
>>274295288Gotta try and force this years meme "event". please understand. we have no Canadians to carry that torch this year
>>274295289Why?
>>274295331The Canadians already grinched this year but people think it's bait. The anon who has been grinched coincidentally hasn't posted in the threads for whatever reason.
MK from Canada, your card arrived a few days ago. Thank you for the cute Mahoro card, though to set the record straight I DID clarify which Mahoro it was when you asked which one in one of the early threads. Though in fairness I didn't realize just how many Mahoros there were in anime so I'll make sure to specify which one going forward.Thanks for the lovely origami. I assume it's a frog, though I don't know origami enough to know for sure, regardless I love it.Have a wonderful Christmas.
>>274290724Thanks for the update and no need to email it. I will be waiting patiently. Have a Merry Christmas!
>>274295311So posting it again in-current thread really helps that, huh. Just shut up about it all. That anon knew they made a dumb and deleted so if you other dumbasses stopped posting about it...Do you understand or should I use smaller words?>>274295331Guess so.
>>274295390Given that there's a handful of replies even before it was deleted replying to it, that isn't going to do anything unless everyone replying deletes their posts. Stop being retarded. Anyone that scrolls through the thread is going to see it regardless of whether it's deleted or not.
>>274295433Just saying its dumb to keep bringing it up regardless of the previous replies. Even moreso to post the comment again so more people can react to it like this is reddit. Gotta love that pants on head bullshit right /a/?
>>274295433So, what now? You think he's going to make the same mistake again? You're going to keep posting about it until this thread dies? Do you reckon a constant stream of crying and insults is in the spirit of Christmas? Anon was dumb. People called him out. He tried to rectify it as much as possible. Get over it and cheer up and stop shitting up this thread already.
>>274291630I'm glad the card made it to you safe and sound and that you like it! Your kind words always mean a lot to me <3 Truth be told, the idol shift has been a long time coming, but there's nothing to be done about it now. For what it is worth, Aikatsu is on the "yeah, I'll get to it one day" list, but I have a bad habit of picking up a ton of seasonal shows which fill up my already limited anime watching time. I get to listen to music all day at work, so it is much easier for me to clear through lots of music instead of shows these days. Regardless, I'm glad you're happy with it and I'll probably watch Aikatsu eventually!>>274295378>totoro origami paperDamn, that's some cute stuff. I need to collect more misc patterned paper, since I tend to buy packs of 100 sheets and only keeping one sort of paper on hand at a time.
>>274295501Nah, he should be blacklisted.
>>274295501>So, what now? You think he's going to make the same mistake again?who knows, he is retarded enough to thinking of making initials of a full name >>274292825He will probably forget it in 3 seconds
>>274295524I think you need to be blacklisted.
stop falling for bait
JD from HK your gift is on its way and with any luck should arrive just in time MS from America your card is on its way
>>274295558For what? I followed all of the /ss/ instructions.
Well SW of NY I think I finally have your card coming. Let me tell you, it's almost like a joke. After the first one sitting at the post office for a week, I figured they just threw it out or something so I made a new one. Not that it'd change much, but the day I finish the new one the post office decides to start processing return to sender on the first card. No biggie, it is what it is, and I bring the 2nd card in to get shipped. Turns out my paper on my printer was fed ever so slightly creased so that the barcode wouldn't scan and I had to go home and print yet another label and come back the next day to try again. Surely 3rd time is the charm and this attempt will make it to you. Santas should have passed on tracking information and, if this one doesn't make it, I might not be able to hold it together
What happened to the anon that got his match just an artbook?
>>2742867592011 - 2024 /ss/ photo albums of cards and giftshttps://pastebin.com/KiFBcHRM2017 - 2024 /ss/ thread archives https://pastebin.com/u/SecretSanta2017Previous thread:>>274110216
>>274295744>imageplease tell me the archive anon isn't the canadian spammer
>>274295378Very relieved to see it even managed to arrive before Christmas. Mailing to Asian spots always seems to be sluggish and I had to use a weird third party courier to get it out of the country. I never asked about which Mahoro you meant though, I committed to the shotgun blast route immediately. Might have been the other one who asked.Also the origami is a turtle.
>>274296069>I never asked about which Mahoro you meant though, I committed to the shotgun blast route immediately.Ah right, that's my bad then. I'll defo make sure to specify in the wishlist next time.>Also the origami is a turtle.That also crossed my mind right before I posted but didn't think to check that on google and just went ahead with the thought that it might be a long frog.
does anyone a good online website that would help me to make a simple collage? want to post the 2 cards that ive received so far
>>274296840Yeah, try MS Paint
>>274296840use gimp/photoshop. make a blank canvas that is like 2000x2000 or something and then you add on your images
>>274296840Just throw it in gimp
>>274296840The current state of secret s/a/nta. Can't even post an image
>>274296194Are you australian? Is the mahoromatic girl not correct? uh oh...
>>274297110Aside from whitelisted anons, it's all tourists participating these days
>>274297111Yes, that's me, Mahromatic girl is the correct girl so you're good.
>>274296850kekd
Christmas tree and ornaments are set up. Thank you again to all the anons who have sent me ornaments over the past few years!I've taken pictures of all my cards so far under the tree and will be typing up responses tonight after a large amount of alcohol. Apologies for not posting these sooner but I've been cramming over the last few weeks for a giant certification exam I had to take (which I have passed thank God).
>>274289695Glad you liked it! It was supposed to be a regular two page card, but I ran out of space and had to attach a third page. I'm looking forward to your writings in a few days!
Kurisu Masu from GA (I'll be disappointed if that's not your real name) your card is here! I was a bit confused when I saw Ichigo in your card. I mean, I love her (she's our lord an savior after all) but she's not the Aikatsu girl that I mentioned on my list. Then I noticed the hidden axe behind the flowers and all the Totono Vietnam flashbacks start coming back (in a good way). You freakin' genious. I didn't even know it was possible to combine Aikatsu and Totono in such a unique way, but here we are. What an amazing card, I love you (platonically).By the way, you are correct. I'm the anon who replied to you with a Kaleido Star image and I'm glad that made you download the anime. Please watch Kaleido Star, I promise it's good. And finally, about Jewelpet. You're not the first anon to tell me that I should watch that, and you guys are usually right when you give me recommendations. So I'll probably watch it... some day. Please understand, first I need to watch every single Aikatsu anime. There are too many of them. Thaks again for your card, Merry Christmas!
So whatever happened to the Brotherhood of the traveling p/a/nties?I received them first, passed them along and I think that guy did too, but I don't think anyone did after that. What the fuck /a/?Should be a pair of pinkish red panties with green poka dots
>>274287340not that guy but damn that sucks, extremely cute card anon
>>274288121>>274288393I have never been as jelly as I am right now seeing these Shuumatsu cards. Amazing effort from all the anons that participate here, truly heartwarming to see.
>>274297132>aside from people participated in past years, it is all new peoplewow, you are a genius
>>274297703If I find panties in my box, I am trashing it entirely
Alright DC from the UK here we are. I don't think I'll write as much as I wanted to because real life sucks and I'm suffering from a cold (again) but I'll try my damn best.Part 1/3: The gifts.I'll wait until the 25th to open the main gift because that warning on the envelope scares me and I don't want the contents to spontaneously disintegrate. Until then, let's talk about the secondary gifts.What a beautiful human being you are. Even if you told me that these books were my main gift I'd be perfectly okay with that. Can't wait to read Alice in particular, I'm sure that after doing that I'll understand Subahibi's deep lore even better. Thank you.(If the books are only the secondary gifts, what's hiding inside the main one? What could be better than fine British literature? I'm scared.)Cont.
>>274298282You're no fun and a faggot
>>274298362Part 2/3: The card.Ah, yes. My beautiful cardfu, Abyss Actor - Leading Lady! Or Pretty Heroin in Japanese. She's not allowed to be pretty in the TCG because Konami of America hates pretty things. A shame that she's not very helpful in her own deck, but I still play her because why wouldn't you include your card waifu on every single decklist? Also, it was a really smart idea to draw Abyss Actor - Extras holding the 2025 numbers. Really cute card, I wish you could have seen the dumb smile that I had on my face when I saw it. Thanks again.(One day Konami will make new Abyss Actor support and Pretty Heroin will become unstoppable, just wait.)Cont.
>>274297910>all new anons are touristsActual retard post.
Anone Moose from MN, thank you so much for the card! I have you as one of my card anons, I sent your card out on Wednesday along with some other anons, it should come to you around the 23 hopefully. I'll make a post for my anons after I post my card pictures. Thank you for the Pokemon cards, I don't really collect them but I have some so I'll add it to my little collection. I'll be honest the background of your card made me think that your card was AI for a second but who cares, I'm glad you used a classic Quattro shitting on Kamille with your photoshop. I like Kamille b/c he is an autistic wild card who gets shit done but I understand why people dislike him. Also not to sound illiterate but what did you write around the end of your card? Was it gut coveatte or something, its kinda hard to tell. Regardless, thank you so much for the card and I hope you have a Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!
>>274298535Part 3/3: Everything else, including the two cards that you sent me back in February and June because I never posted them before.What the fuck man, now I owe you at least three cards. Wait until I start feeling better, I have some crazy ideas that need to be released. Thanks again for everything, you are a precious person and you deserve the best of lifes. And now I'll go back to bed because the cold is killing me, pray for my soul.By the way, how could send French chocolates and NOT British chocolates? Come on man, send something from your land next time! (They were delicious, me and my grandma already ate all of them).
>>274294245Thanks for posting the card. It was a bit pricey to ship, but I have very few expenses at the moment, so I don't mind spending some money on this event. I definitely should have used a bit of super glue on the edges of the paper pieces in order to really lock them into place; seems like the glue stick I was using just isn't cutting it. I'm really proud of that Miku, but I kinda messed up on the Ononoki in multiple ways. I was too burnt out to try to redo it, so I just stuck it on there and called it a day.
BA of NY, that extra package came in just fine, fortunately got thrown in the mailbox since it was kinda rainy this week.BoR of NY your package should've made it there early this week, address stuff was a little weird, so hopefully it made it there without any issues.
>excel sagatake me back bros.....
MS from Poland, thank you so much for the card and gifts! I think I ruined your beautiful rin collage from opening and closing your card too much, it was so cool how it propped up like a flower! What kind of arts and crafts skills do they teach you in Poland? Don't worry your card arrived on time, I think it came on Tuesday. Thank you for the snacks, I'm eating some of the mint chocloate and it taste great. But the real highlight for me is the jazz album you gave me, I love the photoshopped Rin playing the piano like in the original album, I'll definitely take a listen to the album Bruno(I'm referencing the polish pianist from Blue Giant Supreme, I'm not doxxing you or anything). Thank you so much for the cards and Gifts, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!>>274296840I use GIMP and this video is helpful to me to make my collage, https://youtu.be/hK2uu4wbxm8?si=oVIE3xXdrU4fDYF8. Just make sure to scale down your image and crop out anything that is not your card since your image needs to be about 4.0MB or less to post.
>>274288731>>274294903Fuck me, I'm really sorry about that. I remember exactly what happened too. I took cards out of their specific mailers because I realized they were missing a detail, added said detail, then put them back in the wrong fucking bubble mailers. If this is a three way screw up I'm blacklisting myself. And yes, that was intended for RPH of Canada
>>274299191
So can I mail my cards to Canada yet or no
>>274300164The other Canada is a bullshit Canada
Going to be getting around to posting the cards I've gotten now that I'm back at my folks home and can start opening up envelopesFirst up, thank you Shinobu Oshino for the Seras watercolor, and the tasty tasty caramels. It made me realize I've been missing that candy quite a bit. I liked your enthusiasm about your favorite strains of monstergirls as well. To answer your question, I'm a fan of foxgirls, with their cute fangs and fluffy big ears and even fluffier bigger tails. Isn't it true that those things add everything one could want in the perfect degrees of excess, while nothing is lost? On a more adventurous day I might say manticore because of my thoughts about those teeth in that... tail and what it could do to my fingers but there is also something amazing about the simple truth that I think every foxgirl would believe themselves to be some top of the food chain apex predator while everyone knows they would also topple at the gentlest glancing touch. The other day I saw that parasitic fox ears image and thought that perhaps some kindly mad scientist should just subject the world to such a plague, for the civic beauty above all else. I just hope I can get my ears and tail someday... really. I'm quite normal about them.
>>274288121The card looks like an old timey sepia photo. Beautiful
>>274286759Hey santas, I haven't gotten my whitelist gift tracking yet. At what point can I start worrying?
>>274300720>4 days away>no trackingLMAO GETTING YOUR SHIT IN 2025
>>274300626>"Japanese girls posing", by Adolph Nonce 1891>British diplomat A. Nonce spent four years in Japan following and carefully documenting the daily lifestyles of young local girls, before his eventual arrest by the Japanese authorities on Christmas 1892. His body of work is nowadays considered iconic of the Moeji era.
Merry Christmas Moo Logistics and thank you for the truly maximum kawaii card! The kind words are appreciated, it's mostly been long discord vcs for the helldivers update and monster hunter fuelled by eggnog and less browsing anything, but I did pick up some hot chocolate today and so will try some of that with marshmallows on top. Oh my, thank your artist friend too very kindly for drawing these two cuties so lovey-dovey and soft and squishable. I really liked the foxes episode, they seemed just pleasantly domestic and complimentary of each other's comforts and preferences in a way that just felt so right, and having something of them I can put my wall will make me very bubbly. This is one for the bedside gallery.
Nips should be fucking invaded and annexed by China, it took them 15 days to send an order, I've received garbage I bought from China sooner that I bought for cheaper aswell with cheap shipping
AE from Russia, thank you for the gorgeous card. I hope it wasn't too much of a hassle to get this to me, and I hope that forwarding through Germany wasn't crazy expensive. I'm sorry if my taste is baffling, and you couldn't get a good read of me, but I don't know what else I can do about it.
Thanks to FR for this beautiful Mami card! I love Holy Mami and I’m happy my list gave you some motivation!
Anon from UK, thank you, it's a lovely card. But I don't think I've seen as brief message before. I actually thought when watching S1 that Coffee and Coconuts would be better couple but things happened, whatever.
DC from UK thanks for the cutes Aiko! I agree, she's the best ojamajo by a long shot. I'll try to henshin myself with the wand at one point during NYE streams. I'm not scared - it's probably safer than plugging anon's pendrive, and I'm sure no doremi enjoyer could be evil.I also appreciate Warhammer stamp Merry Christmas my friend! Happy New Year!!oh and origami Santa is great star on the wand too one day I'll learn origami too.
Merry Christmas FV of Italy, I'm glad your card was able to make it here in time. It travelled quite the distance. Dungeon meshi! Dungeon meshi! Where can I even begin? I followed the manga through my high school years because I heard there was a cute monster girl in it and I stayed for the cooking, and character chemistry, and the little lessons about not becoming mired in any preoccupied stage of life, to just keep moving even if it was out of spite or to taste something good the next day. I got out of high school, got less self-conscientious, and then I was watching the anime as I cooked in my little apartment kitchen. I did however have a truly unique experience watching the episode with Fallin/Falyn/Farlyn's (sheesh) murder spree out of my mind with a 102F fever's delirium. Perhaps the only time where I found myself lucky to be so sick physically that it made being sick in the head all the easier. On militaria, I'm getting a cute military lolita dress as a present for myself for Christmas, and I have actually read Groundless. I found the MC a determined but discomposed dork that was all too relatable. Wish there were more chapters. May the season bring you much more cute militaria, with lots of yuribait too, preferably.
>>274301396here's the stamp if anyone's interested
Thank you, Anon from UK who didn't put return address anywhere on the envelope. Living on the edge I see. You've captured the essence of Elma, truly something she would do. Drunken hags are something everyone should strive for>>274301433I am immensly jealous.

Thank you so much for the card, the cookies were all eaten. Xmas Levi is always a 10/10
JH from OK and Z from WV I have sent out your cards, but don't expect them before Christmas, sorry I had a lot of fun making them, every year I get better at my papercraft skills.
>>274301578C Pack from VA that is a cute little Shin what do you use for coloring? I think last year you sent me a Ren Tao xmas tree style. Your cards are always inspiring, thank you.
0/1 gifts, and 0/2 cards. It's over for me. There's no way anything is going to get delivered before Christmas, and I haven't gotten any tracking numbers or notification in the threads that anything has shipped.
AP from Poland, you said you would send me a combined thank you/christmas card, but I didn't expect a fucking booklet. Still, I very much appreciate it. As someone who's been through some dark times, I'm happy that you're doing better these days, and that your first /ss/ in a decade went nicely. I just hope you enjoy the gifts. As for the gift, don't worry about it. I have a bad habit to go bit overboard, but it never causes me any issues. The cookie unfortunately shattered in transit, but at least I didn't have to feel bad about eating and ruining it. Was still tasty, As for the final offer, I appreciate it, even if I'm very lazy when it comes to travelling
Merry Christmas YLL of Italy!top cute Ichigo! she's my second favourite, I'm a Minto man. have you seen the remake? it was great, I had tons of fun with it.the tarot card is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, I love HnK so much, that manga might be one of my favourite things I've ever experienced. thank you again for it, I'll cherish it.and thanks for the bag of snacks and pesto! I am 100% sure they won't make it till 2025. or past Christmas.have a wonderful Holidays and a Happy New Year!!!!
>hnk doesn't mean hokuto no ken anymoreOldfags...we've lost...
>>274301612AM from FL back in 2022 I had the honor of receiving a card from you with chibi xmas gojos, thank you so much and happy holidays!
JB of Australia your package to Toronto has finally arrived! I didn't expect it to get here from the edge of the country so quickly. I'm always thankful to get my waifu, and having her drink her namesake lemon drink is a bonus, although I don't know if I've had it myself. But any sip of C.C. Lemon I'm going to consider as an indirect kiss with C.C. from now on! I'm very happy with this card, although I'm not sure why the cards smell so nice.>BravernBravern was a very fun show that was marketed as a straightforward real/down-to-earth military robot show, but a bigname director named Obari put in a lot of stuff that's closer to the super robot (TTGL, etc flashy "powered by bravery and screams" stuff) and toku (live-action suit guys) genres. It has a silly, endearing, and memorable cast that drive the plot along. The plot might not be the strongest thing about the show, but I think urine for a few surprises nonetheless. if you liked Akiba Maid War, I think you might like this one too.>socksNot sure whether you were the anon asking about gifting socks, and not sure during my encouragement about wearing anything from anon whether I specified who I was. I was wondering why I got a tracking number, or why the socks' packaging said thigh-high, it's longer than my keyboard. It might be helpful to wear on extremely cold nights, but I'm definitely not going to learn programming, it's too hard!>looks like it would probably go up to my kneesI'm not sure how socks even work anymore
Merry Christmas "intials missing because this is the one my folks inadvertently opened". Thanks for the doodle of the Otherside Picnic dorks, and your coverage of a lot different picks of mine this year. LLENN is great, that whole SAO show just embraces its asylum-bound cast having a litany of perverse and deranged thoughts. You're right, I do like FREAKS and I hope the 2025 brings more wonderful eccentrics to fight over. See you next year!
Also JB of Australia if you would somehow - SOMEHOW - miss this post otherwise>>274301837Was surprised to get a thoughtful bonus! Although it must have been hard to miss all the noise. Extremely regrettably, the card marked as to be opened at the Canadian meetup arrived after it. But it's a friendly and light-hearted card from a fellow anon who shares the same king.>why would you make a card for a guy like him?>because he is an anon who has the same king I haveThey'll undoubtedly see the card, for none of them are redditors, but I'll forward their attention to it if they missed it. You're card won't go appreciated, thank you for Card II!
>>274298362>>274298535>>274298703Ahahaha I'm glad you like the card although I think the books are off-topic; your post might get deleted Get well soon my man, I hope that you'll be cold-free by Christmas!In my humble opinion, British chocolate doesn't hold a candle to Belgian, French and Swiss. But if you want something from here, I'll send you some scrumptious fudge next time>>274301396I'm happy you liked the card, and even happier that you're a fellow Aiko fan! Merry Christmas to you too and best of luck on your henshin attempt
oh shit, I did some math and I'm at 100% received.not only my first year where it's 100% received, but it all came before Christmas! lads, the 2024 turned out quite good.
>>274302036I've gotten all my cards which is all fine and dandy, but two of mine haven't been posted yet. Granted, one was goinh to Canada and other to Mexico so I'm not holding my breath but would be nice to see those too
>>274302036I've only received 2/13 cards so far and we're four days away from Christmas. But both cards are really lovely, so I'm very happy.
If I knew I could be disorganised and wait until the 20th to post everything internationally I would have just done that.
>>274301335I'm glad it managed to get to you! I didn't actually pay any additional price, and reading the threads I was starting to be afraid that you and others would have to to get the cards, but things turned out wellI didn't really mean anything bad about your taste, it's just that usually you can sort of tell the type of girls and anime anons like, but your taste seems to be very variedAnyway, again, have a great holiday season!
Dear AW from UT, have a very very merry christmas for your card has made me feel quite treasured! I made a little shrine arrangement with spliced photos to show off your card, beautifully textured exterior and warm interior. What you have included makes me so giddy, the smiling cute madohomu drawing is so vibrant and beautifully drawn, and the wonderful perler bead madoka will be sitting on my desk here until I'm out of this cramped return-for-the-holidays room and then will join my figurines on their shelf, where there will be lots of enrichment and soft things for her to play with. May you really be visited with so much Christmas cheer for being an amazing s/a/nta!
>>274302584Oh! And one last thing, my onee got too busy and did not partake this year, but I will rope her in next time I'm sure. I know cards like this would make her quite happy.>>274301845Also, I think the initials were KS from CA
>>274301837>>274301932Glad it arrived safely, even if it was an entire month later than anticipated. I kinda regret not shooting for express but I couldn't have possibly anticipated a fucking strike to happen exactly one week later. A shame that it didn't arrive in time so the second card could make the meet up, but them's the breaks.Definitely recommend trying C.C. Lemon if you can find somewhere you can get it easily, I fucking adore it and wish I could get it more often.>although I'm not sure why the cards smell so niceThat's a brand new card compliment and I have no answer for it since I did nothing to it other than get it printed and add a sticker, maybe Canada Post stuck the box next to something that smelt nice and it absorbed that?That Bravern summary makes it sound like it's right up my alley, I'll make sure to check it out (also should really watch Akiba Maid War, I'm surprised I didn't catch it while it was on).I wouldn't have been the anon that asked about socks since I bought all the socks before I got my assignments. I always get tracking numbers for my anons stuff even when I don't need to, and since I sent them all in boxes due to the socks it just naturally had a tracking number.>it's longer than my keyboardGiven they're thigh highs I'd have hoped they'd be longer than a keyboard, lol.
I hate postal warehouse/sorting center/bingo parlor faggots like you wouldn't believe. Insane how lazy and incompetent these fucks are. Seriously how much of a shitstain do you have to be to laze around on the one period you know everyone is trading gifts? "Funny" thing is that this is true not only for my post but pretty much everywhere I shipped to this year.
Posted it last time, but I dunno if anon sawSA of Austria, your card arrived this week. Sakura does fit the christmas vibe well, I think, although Rin is my personal favourite heroineAlso, Villainess anon, I'm glad my card arrived, since the Post Office told me that none of them would be delivered in time. Hopefully some of my others will have beaten the odds as well
>>274288454the courier woke me upBut anon, UPS tells me it was 10 AM...Jokes aside, I'm happy that you like the card (drawing a sexy girl was a nice change of pace) and the food. I only chose brands which I personally approve of (the Venchi chocolates are top quality and my favorites), so anons can call me out on my shit taste if they want.Don't feel obligated to send a thank-you card, really, chances are you'll get me as an assignment in the future since, personally, I'm here forever.Meri kurisumasu!>>274301680Minto is great, I'd say she is my third favorite after Ichigo and Zakuro (I had a small crush on Zakuro when I was little). I haven't watched the remake because the redesigns just don't agree with me. Maybe I'm getting old, heh.I'll join you in expressing my love for HnK, one of the most unique manga I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Seeing Phos' journey such a roller-coaster of emotions and now that it's over I'm a little sad, but I'm still glad to have experienced it.Meri kurisumasu!>>274302579Hey AE, I sent your homocard about a month ago and it seems that it hasn't reached you yet, do you think it might have been lost? Unfortunately I was only able to send a normal, tracking-less letter to Russia. Would you like me to ask homosanta to forward you a picture of the card, if it doesn't get to you before Christmas?
>>274301463I'm surprised my card made it, honestly, with how late I left it. I'm glad my drawing wasn't so awful that you couldn't tell who it was>>274301545Rude!
>>274289509I fell asleep,they're very comfy and fit perfectly!>>274292900>spoiler>just thinking about his stupid homosexual hair made me tear upI can fully 100% understand your feelings but that's a really good idea>fellow eye pain suffererah,I see,it is the pain that we put in the cards that yields the best results it seemsI too am glad the sharks and whales didn't get to eat the sweets,but me.Hope your joyful mood comes back soon anon because you deserve it.>>274303286I a-acidentally snoozed for a few hoursYour taste is impeccable,those Venchi chocolates are really something else. Going to make pesto pasta now!Did you get my homocard last year? All my assignments were excruciatingly late and since they arrived way after the cutoff time,I never got confirmation from most anons whether they received the cards or not,which gives me anxiety to this day>>274290724It doesn't matter when they arrive as long as they arrive,don't stress anon and enjoy the holidays.>>274292180oh shit here we go again,I am VERY excited
>>274289896Very glad to see that you got my gift before Christmas! By the way... if you want, and only if you want, you can already open that small package with an irregular shape. For... reasons.
>>274303286Hi, YLL of Italy , I was just about to post it!Thank you for this 10/10 Lord Megatron, the great leader of all the Decepticons (and also Kerry)! Nice extra layer of protectionIt turns out that drawing robots isn't easy, so it's very impressive that you managed to do it so well without any previous experience and on relatively short noticeIt's good that you didn't send any sweets right now with the current situation. I'd love them, but I'm not sure your letter would've reached me with themThe new movie just came out a couple of months ago, and it's great despite kind of flopping, but you can always just start with G1 if you feel like it, big robots aren't for everyoneYeah, I'm never sure what to put on my wish-list since my taste is unconventional, but whateverHave a great holiday season and take it easy! Merry Christmas!
>>274301430I'm glad the card arrived. It's probably the most inspired one I did this year I thought the Bookworm one was the best but anon hated it I followed Dungeon Meshi manga for a long time and I was sad it ended. But the anime made it come alive again. I like growing things and cooking them and it truly speaks to me.I see you already know Groundless, great choice desu and I thought it was obscure enough. Also great choice of a Christmas present for yourself, that's dedication.Merry military Christmas!
>>274288393>Shuumatsu TrainHoly shit someone else listed this? Based anon merry Christmas to you
>>274301680YLL was my first ever Santa...how many years ago now? I'm afraid to look at the stamp dates. Everything came in a gigantic envelope, I still keep the early years cards in it... it's full now and they fill an entire drawer
>>274303802holy fuck that is a very well drawn robot,some of you are so talented
>desperate making the last card for anon who asked something beyond my abilities >card arrives >it's from anon>suddenly inspired on what to makeIt will be a new year's card, of course, forgive me anon. I'll make it worth your while. Probably.
>>274302003>BelgianOh. Oh right. I'm not sure why I said "French chocolates", the box clearly says "made in Belgium". I should stop posting at 07:00 a.m.
>>274301373Sorry anon, I had some autism powered writers block, it me longer to write that than it did to draw the card
So at what point we bother santa for tracking or if we were grinchesSanta should put some deadlines in this
>>274304664never
>>274304664*grinched
>>274304677Then I am grinching other people in whitelist next year. What is the maximum amount of tiers I can join before it gets suspicious
Hey. It happened. I sent my three cards yesterday to AC from US, AP from IT and SA from AT. Despite taking so long, I must say I am very proud of how they turned out. This has been the first time in several years I have drawn anything and I didn't expect to be able to do it satisfactorily, but most of all I didn't expect it to be so fun. That may be my best Christmas present, if not for the gift and the two letters (supposing the second one arrives on time) that await to be opened by me on Christmas!WARNUNG FÜR SA from AT. Die Briefe hat auch erotischen Inhalt... Ich habe mein Bestes gegeben, um deine Waifu hübsch zu zeichnen.VE from Spain, I am going to spend my weekend doing your gift. I will do my best, hermano. See you on the other side.
>>274304758Why are you so late
>>274297675>first I need to watch every single Aikatsu animeYou really don't. The 4th season is half live action and then after that they went to vtubbers. You can stop after Friends. Watch Pretty Rhythm and Pripara instead.
Thanks for the cute card anon, sora yori mo tooi basho and macross are both good choices to check out
>>274304792Because I'm retarded. There's no other way to cut it.
>>274304664Cards are proof of postage
KN from ON Just wanted to say thanks again for this card from last year. Encoding a message with desu was hilarious and very creative. I still remember how fun it was decoding the message! Also it's still the only pop-out card I've received, and I love these kinds of cards.
>>274303889I didn't hate your card, anon. The peppers and oil threw me off a little, but it was a great card. I've already planted the seeds and excited for them to grow.
NC from CA, tracking says your gift was delivered and picked up! Did everything arrive in One Piece?
>>274287409Great card. Adorable Watashi.
>>274305604Thanks I've been worried about it Im still not sure what went on with the "oil" my stuff is all sun-dried. I rather suspect the glue holding things together melted in transit
>>274293893you have already received a really W I D E card from me some years ago. that should cover all nonW I D Enests in the upcoming years, decades even.
>>274289950Good to see it got to you in time, Merry Christmas!
>>274304664When three wise kings visit babby Jesus it's the end of Christmas and it's time to signal the grinchings>GiftsAlways>WL card Give it a week more>poorfag cardYou can't do squat about it eat the bullet and sign up for more next year
>>274307463>three wise kings visit baby jesusI've read that doujin
>>274307592>doujinI prefer the anime adaptation
>>274293814I'm glad you liked it! I've got it all downloaded so I'm excited to start it up. Merry christmas!
DS of SC can you at least tell me if you got your card? Yours is the only on i have had no confirmation that you go it. And I had to most fun making yours.
>>274307957>that picjesus christ anon you've unlocked one of my core memories from the 90s,I'm going yo rewatch this RIGHT NOW
Thank you so much to ET of FL for the card! I've always liked the cards that you make, but you really outdid yourself with this one! It's a bit hard to tell in the photos, but the glass in the window is a thick velum and the card folds into an A-frame where you can place a light to shine through. Very cool stuff.I will say, and forgive me if I've said this to you before, but the Revue Starlight movie is, by far, the best content in the series. In my eyes, it so perfectly grows on what was started in the TV series, and closes up so much of what was left vague or simply unexplored. I liked the series, but I loved the movie, so definitely give that a watch. If it has been a while since you've watched the TV series, it might be worth rewatching that before, but it isn't necessary to enjoy the movie. It would give you a bit more to enjoy with how all the character lines are tied up, though. As well, man, I can't even remember why I recommended you Inu x Boku SS in the first place, but it is still a good watch. Additionally, if you like that, MahoAku aired just a season or two ago and was a manga by the same creator which shares a lot of the same charm. MahuAku especially feels like a passion project (likely because the creator passed away) so I'd highly recommend that if nothing else but to look at the pretty art.I am very happy to hear that you liked the Valentines card I sent out! It is really fun to be able to connect with some anon year after year through /ss/. Sorry if you tried to reach out to to me in the r/a/dio threads like I had probably mentioned to, I may or may not have blacked out before 11pm. One of those nights.
>>274305463I'm glad you actually deciphered it, because making that card was hell lol. Your card is still the only pop-up card I've made so I'm glad you liked it, I hope you have a very merry christmas this year too anon!
I hate the postal service so much
>>274303513Cute
>>274308256Additionally, as someone who has only ever bought socks as a pack of 10 from the department store, these are probably the softest pair of socks that I have ever worn. These are some real good stuff <3
>>274309799CUTE
My anon isn't wearing the socks that I gave to him.
>>274298644That's based, Char slapping Kamille, the pinnacle of lover's quarreling.
>>274309799Those are some very hairy legs for such a little girl.
Thank you ever so much JR of UK! I'm ever so sorry for posting this so late as I believe it arrived sometime last week..The drawing of Chino is so cute, and I'm happy you're enjoying Gochiusa so far!The omake was great and gave me a good chuckle, as you figured out every episode is only about 2 minutes long, so you can get through one of those entire seasons in about 25 minutes. The show is very hit or miss whether you'd enjoy it, but I think it's worth giving a shot at least.Thank you again, and have a great Christmas and a happy new year!
This is for that one anon who wanted a new fridge magnet. Feel free to make it smaller, cut it, or whatever you need. I'm beyond exhausted these days and this is the best thing I could produce under these conditions, sorry. Next year I'll make you a better one, I promise. Merry Christmas!
>>274308256>>274309799So glad you like everything anon! I actually started watching Inu x Boku this week, it's definitely my type of guilty pleasure show so I'll have to check out MahoAku once I'm done (and don't worry Revue Starlight is already on my list). I know I already said it in your card but I really love the Valentine's card you sent so I'm gonna share it with everyone hohoho! It's so much fun sending cards, I wish I had the energy to do it more during the year but Christmas just gives me that extra festive push to get stuff done. I keep thinking about sending postcards randomly throughout the year so maybe one day I'll actually do it if I find some good ones I'm really disappointed the town of Christmas didn't have any at the post office and the old store at the historic fort where I used to get rock candy as a kid appears to have closed at some point so couldn't even check there. Anyways have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and hope those socks keep your tootsies nice and warm!
>>274297475first card from MB from Germany!Thank you for the amazing woodcut card and coaster! I coincidently drink a lot of coffee so this coaster is going to get a ton of use. happy to see another tomboy lover here also!I'm going to see if I can find some string here and make these plastic pieces into mini ornaments for my tree! thank you for everything and I hope you have a merry Christmas too!
>>274303513I'm so sorry anon, I never received a card from Romania. It must've gotten lost or stolen. Do you happen to have any pictures of it? I'd love to see it, even in digital form.>>274303802It actually got to you in time, what a relief! So, it takes about a month to send a letter from my country to yours nowadays, I see... I'm glad you like the card, I'll try to watch some G1 during the Christmas holidays. Meri Kurisumasu!>>274303959Glad to see you're still participating!
>>274311385I love when anons choose silly wrapping paper that only grandmas should use.>>274300487Very cute vampire.
Got some Christmas cards in the mail this week so time to share! First up is DMD of Germany with this stunning Deedlit offering me a gift for Christmas. You captured her beauty so perfectly I really love it! I want to send you a thank you/New Year's card so let me know if the return address on the envelope is a good to mail it to. Thank you so much for the card and have a Merry Christmas and fantastic New Year!
>>274301612Glad to see it made it to you safe and sound and that you like it! I keep all my drawings pretty simple and just use pigma microns for lines and metallic sharpies for colouring. They're a bit finnicky to work with because they're closer to paint pens than ink pens, but I like how they look. Still have some figuring out to do with how to make them look best, especially with big blocks of colours, but I'm getting there slowly but surely.>>274309799Oh, man, I forgot that I tried something fancy with all the cutting and layer on those cards! I don't take pictures of any of my cards, so I often forget what they look like haha. I feel the same sort of way, though. I really like doing cards, but they're a lot more fun to do when I know a lot of other people are also trying their hardest. The postcard was super cute too! I had a feeling it might have been you with the location and stickers and, likewise, I'll probably send some your way too if I come across any cool ones! It might be slim pickings though because I don't really get out all that much, but I'll try my best!>>274310072It is just my christmas spirit overflowing, do not worry>>274289152IMAGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE>>274301837Put on the socks, anon >:)
>>274311391card 2 from KS from CA! I actually coincidently have had you for cards this year as well!pt 1 of 2
Oops meant for, I am not a very smart man :(>>274311385Oh, man, I forgot that I tried something fancy with all the cutting and layer on those cards! I don't take pictures of any of my cards, so I often forget what they look like haha. I feel the same sort of way, though. I really like doing cards, but they're a lot more fun to do when I know a lot of other people are also trying their hardest. The postcard was super cute too! I had a feeling it might have been you with the location and stickers and, likewise, I'll probably send some your way too if I come across any cool ones! It might be slim pickings though because I don't really get out all that much, but I'll try my best!
>>274312000and the back! glad you liked ippo too! I actually don't like sports shows but ippo was really the one exception for me. If you want to get into baki I'd probably recommend the manga actually since the art style from it is so legendary (the old anime is also kind of shit).It's always great to see another tenchi fan, when I was younger ryoko was my favorite too, although as I grow older its either washu-chan or ayekaif you haven't watched the war on geminar spinoff series for tenchi yet I'd highly recommend it. It's really great. anyways, thank you again and hope you have a merry Christmas!
>>274297675I'm glad you liked it, I was starting to worry it wouldn't make it on time. I didn't trust myself to draw it twice so I did a little real life CG layering cheat using velcro dots, so you can remove the bouquet to see the whole thing.>I'm the anon who replied to you with a Kaleido Star imageThen you will be delighted to know I finished S1 and nearing half of S2 now. The first season was a roller coaster because I was not expecting what it turned out to be KALOS KILLED MY DAD really threw me for a loop, but I really did enjoy it. In contrast S2 is more of what I thought the show might be. It's a little weird in comparison and doesn't grab me as hard but I'm still liking it enough. Also, now that I have watched Kaleido Star I will shelve my Jewelpet suggestion for now and instead second the other anon's one of Pretty Rhythm once you have the time to get around to it.
Another year, another card from BR of CA! I hope one day I can be your gift Santa I wanna spoil you so good!! Thank you so much for the Kalego card, he's so hot in the mafia AU with his suit and glasses I can't handle it. And I loved the Valentine's card you sent me this year! Expect a thank you card and socks, I already have a pair picked out cause I thought of you when I saw them in the store so hopefully they're still there and the website isn't lying to me. Merry Christmas, I hope Santa-san brings you lot of sharks and Vincent this year!!
>>274312109and card 3 from JH from OK!thank you for the beautiful lum! I've been really happy how many people here that have been watching Rumiko's series the last few years with all the reboots.since you said you're looking for more older harem shows to watch next year, I would highly recommend the old tenchi muyo OVA's! it's one of my favorites! Hope you have a merry Christmas too!
>>274309937I am wearing them but I won't post pics. This is a blue board after all.
>>274313446Coward
>>274287013I called them last week and they said that they don’t need the exact receipts but just the items and prices. I mailed them the list you gave me along with prices I estimated but haven’t heard back from them. I hope they have it solved by Monday, I can’t wait to get your card!>>274172663I’m glad I had you again and that you like my card! I was a bit worried since your list is very focused on machines and I could at least include a car last time, but looks like it turned out fine.>>274178253>>274303159I’m happy to see that you like it! Rin is great too, a classic tsundere and smart.
>>274313446Alright but at least tell me if you liked them.
>>274299064I'm glad it arrived on time! Other anon I've sent card to (to the same state, sent at the same time as yours) still hasn't got the package according to tracking, so consider yourself lucky! About arts & crafts, I found the idea on the internet and just adapted it to my needs, I'm happy that you liked this unfolding mechanism!>Blue GiantI've never read this series, will check it out!
I got another homocard from a homodachi I had last year, BR of CA. That Shinji does look very warm and comfy, I can't wait to see the matching Kaworu and the card I sent you. Merry Christmas!
Damn, some of these cards are fucking terrible.
>>274314428the word you're looking for is "soulful"
>>274314457No, terrible was the right word.
>>274314428shhh we are pretending to make other anons feel good.
AP from IL I just noticed that USPS tracking says your card was "delivered" but that's not true. Mr. Mailman left a notification and I need to go pick up your card at my local Post Office next Monday. Just wanted to let you know that if I'm not posting your card it's because I don't have it yet!
>>274314428One of mine was just straight up AI generated. That shit is terrible I would much rather have shitty drawings.
>>274314846Nothing wrong with AI generated images. Grow up
>>274314846>One of mine was just straight up AI generated.That should be blacklisted. That shit is low effort.
>>274288731>>274299191Well, I'm afraid you did triple fuck it up. I was wondering why the card mentioned a MAL profile because I don't have one of those, but I guess it makes sense now.lmao
>>274314908Fuck off.
>>274314934How much time do you think those anons spend on such child doodles
>>274314846didn't they say AI was banned this year? might want to reach out to the santa's for that
>>274314428The only ones I consider terrible are those using art they found online to print them on paper/wood/plastic/rock/whatever and scribbles that look like they were done in 5 mins. Pure lazyness on all fronts.AI is a death sentence obviously.
>>274314938Oh noPoor anon
>>274314965That shit is low effort too.
>>274314938https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kguaGI7aZg
I think shipping cards to the wrong place is my worst nightmare
>>274313676Did any cards arrive for you this week? If not, I'll get to work on mailing you some snacks.
>>274314938>>274288731>>274299191Good job retard, we love you all the same.
>>274314938>>274288731You could now make another exchange where you send each other the correct card.
>>274288731>>274314938What a fucking retard.
>>274312470Glad to see it got there safely!Been watching the Tenchi Muyo with friends the past year, Mihoshi is best girl!
>>274290309Hey, glad to see it arrived on time! I had an incredibly fast turnaround for yours desu, I usually procrastinate so much more but the idea came together pretty fast. Hopefully you enjoy the extra present.>>274314988>>274315094I feel quite bad for him since he seems to have spent an insane amount on shipping as well to make it arrive in time nearly 80$ for a card is mindbogglingI don't mind eventually reshipping it, I think mine was actually meant for the phoneposter canad/a/non I myself sent a card to. It's absolutely going on the tree with the others in the meantime though!I need to hunt down and thank the initials for everyone who sent me a card this year my ass has not been keeping track
>>274314938Incredible, show the inside, I want to see if I was bullied for my anime taste
>>274315291Could have bought an artbook with that much money.
>>274315420You wish you could get an artbook for only $80
>>274315420My gift hasn't even arrived yet and people are already cracking jokes about it.
What's the deal with artbooks this year? Did I miss something? They're a fine gift and, personally, I buy quite a lot of them.
>>274315682Anon asked if an artbook was good enough for the $100 tier because thats how much it cost locally, or something
>>274315682It is scam operation in 100$ tier. People just regifting same books to each other in tier 100$ and hoping that some other people will gift them actual stuff
>>274314800Appreciate the update anon, I was curious what was going on there. Are you the same anon who's been having trouble receiving international cards this year? Seems like you can't catch a break.
>>274315682Anon apparently bought an overpriced artbook in a local store for $80 in his local currency and thinks that's suitable for his gift tier despite being worth significantly less than the tier in reality and was rightfully bullied for it
>>274315542You're pretty much blacklisted unless the santas allow you to send late gifts to reach the appropriate tier. Jokes should be the least of your concerns.
>>274315891Yeah, but it's not only me. A lot of us Yuros are having trouble receiving stuff from non EU countries.
What kind of stuff people send in hand made/25$ tier? I am wondering if I scammed my anon as well
Thabks for the card anon your onizuka looks great.On the inside of the card, Is that hanako from katawa shoujo, or sawako from kimi ni todoke?Either way it looks awesome.GTO is great I read the first volume years ago and I was sold on how great of a character onizuka is. I'm not sure how far the anime follows the manga or how closely but my favorite part is still near the beginning when he Pays his student to make compilation porn of him and a girl he is crushing on.Kimi ni todoke is the greatest shoujo anime of all time. Ive read a alot and nothing has topped it.Honey and clover did come close, but the ending ruined it.Not sure what you're talking about milf alien in love hina so probably not?Love hina is one of the orignal harem animes. By the same guy as negima and uq holder.You have a merry Christmas and a happy new year as well anon!
>>274316368 nc from ca Forgot the initials sorry
>>274315781>>274315855>>274316003Huh, wack. The funny thing is that almost all books have the price printed on the back so there really isn't any fudging you can do with the price. However, a fair share of artbooks only ever get a single run, and more people buy the books to keep as opposed to something like figures, so supply is a lot more tight on some old booksRegardless, to my anon, if you got me a book I'd be happy with it :)
>>274316171I'm almost certain I'm the anon receiving it. What should I do if I am?
>>274316490regift
>>274311767Oh yes, the return address is valid for mailing back! I would like to mail you some sweets, but they will not accept it. However, they somehow accept the Canadian card with the exactly same contents, but its still stuck in airport waiting. And also one card zo Canada is still in front of my desk waiting to mail. But enough with the ranting, I hope you have a pleasant Merry Christmas and a great New Year!Also heres the card in full qualityhttps://files.catbox.moe/hnkivf.png
>>274316345Did you send something handmade or around 25$ in value, mostly related to your anon's wishlist? Congratulations, you didn't scam your anon.
>>274316490Check how much your gifts actually cost and tell the santas if you got fucked. The rest they will figure out themselves and let you know what's going to happen.Checking prices for gifts is always a NG, but when you are on a high tier and receive 2 PuPs and a dead dog you gotta do what you gotta do.
>>274316412I'm going to Devil's AdvocateIf the art book was out of print or a collector's item and I went on eBay or something similar and it was around that price I would be happy with the gift
>>274316796He said he got it somewhere local, I doubt a collectable anime item like that would be at a brick and mortar store.
>>274314938There's no fucking way you're the French ano->>274315291>Nitocris and NagatoroNevermind. I'm really sorry. It's such a fucking shame I managed to be so retarded because my card recipients had some pretty good taste and I was pretty happy with how the cards turned out. Fuck.
GP of VA, thank you, your gifts arrived to me safely. I will be sure to open them on Kurisumasu. I'd post the card atm too but I think it might slightly spoil some stuff so I'll leave that a surprise for the anons (it's cute though!). Whatever they are, they are already much appreciated.I feel bad because I accidentally ripped the ittiest bittiest bit of wrapping paper off one gift and couldn't help but to look to see what was in there, but all I saw was white so I assume that was just more wrapping paper. Gomen anon, but I also have OCD so I might be overblowing what I did, there's a chance I would've seen what I saw anyway since I pulled it off by accident. I wouldn't dare rip off more on purpose and won't dare open it to see what it truly is before Christmas, as per the 11th Commandment. TLDR I don't know what it is, so no worries, I promise.
>>274316796>lists another scam storeDevil's Advocate XBarely Primate O
>>274316722I made some handmade stuff (which didn't really cost anything since I had all I need) and then added 25$ worth of custom order stuff (a cup and other similar stuff that can be customized). It was all related to anon's wishlist. And some cookies and a cardThis thread made me wonder if people are expecting 25$ worth of anime junk. I was more focused on handmade (and custom order) part
>>274316796>collector's itemBehold, a 100$ tier gift. Collector item's value really is in the eye of the beholder, that's why resell prices are very iffy
Seriously though, why my anon is not posting if he got his gift. It has been 2 weekends.
>>274316345While there's a couple people who go absolutely mental in that tier (I used to be one until I burned out), I've seen mugs, a volume or two of manga, a cheap figure, an ornament, stuff like that. It's supposed to be a low-pressure tier where it's hard to fuck up.
>>274317014I got your gift
>>274316796brb putting a key chain on ebay for 100$ and gifting that next year
>>274316996Not really the same thing, his cultists would drop a grand on his used tissue
>>274317014I'm sorry, I've lost it
>>274317030Post it
>>274316962I can assure you you did perfectly well and your anon will be very happy. You don't have to spend all of that on random shit if you mostly do handmade stuff. If you feel bad about "spending too little" for some reason you can just use what you didn't spend on material to buy candy or alcohol
>>274317014Maybe he's a college student and won't be home until today or tomorrow.
>>274316412But an $80 (AUD) artbook would be a $50 (USD) artbook, easily enough to be considered a grinch in the $100 tier
>>274317094On christmas when I open it
>>274316962 also agreeing with >>274317131 - the "handmade" word is there for a reason. Custom/handmade stuff is great, It's a reason why I never went for higher tiers.
Well lads, so much for my gift this year. I'm at the airport to go home for Christmas, and I don't have any indication that my gift is even on its way. Hopefully I hear something soon
>>274316345>>274316722>>274316962I feel I should point out it's handmade or UNDER $25, not at least $25. the $25+ tier is separate. I always took it as more of an "anything goes" tier as long as it's not obviously cheap low effort craphaving said that, I always do a handmade gift and $25+ actual anime merch too
>>274316661Awesome, I gotta send it regular mail so hopefully it'll arrive sometime in January! And that blows they wouldn't let you send the sweets, I would have loved to try stuff from your country. It's so weird cause I feel like it should be no problem to send prepackaged candy to the US, especially if you were able to ship to Canada, so maybe they were just being bastards cause of the holidays. Anyways thanks again and Merry Christmas!
>>274317662Reach out to the Santas, they can check what's going on.
thank you for the cardsMS from PAandJH from binlan :DDDregarding dbz, well that shit is always airing in one channel or another, so people will always find a way to watch it, also it's one of the shows that every knows so thats why no one really think its cringe when you see local bsns with images of goku and the likeas for the 2nd card, yeah even in current year there are still OG raibu fans going stronk, also thank you for the lovely xmas Yuuko, first time someone from sekrit santa has decided to drawn her!
>he adds tax, delivery cost, delivery guy tip, customs office bribe to totalsuch people should be black listed
>>274317831They should but I imagine most of the time anons don't report them to the santa's, leaving them to continue doing it every year
I think I forgot to put an item with anon's gift because I just found an extra wrapped gift that (I think) isn't for my family...Should I send it late or just wait until anon posts his gifts to make sure? I kind of don't want to just rip it open because this wrapping paper wasn't cheap
>>274317984Send it. Just because it would be funny if it's not meant for them
>>274316962I am once again asking for handmade to be it's own separate tier.
>>274318025I vaguely remember them saying in a previous year that not enough people joined that tier and most of the ones that did didn't send handmade gifts so a separate handmade tier probably wouldn't workMaybe that has changed since then though
>>274318015Well it is christmas after all. If they get something extra, I hope they like it.
>>274314428Oh, you think these are terrible?You all should be grateful I've never signed up for cards in my half-decade of gifting
>>274317795>JH from binlan :DDDThank god atleast one card arrived in time! Thats half of my christmas done since im waiting for one card to arrive for my other anon and one to arrive for me. Glad you liked the softest christmas ghost, have a merry christmas!
>>274317662Are you in CA?
Anons are going to think my cards are lazy, when in reality I'm just shit at drawing ;-;
>>274318265Yes
>>274315291>My card made it safely onto the treeBig relief, was worried mine had vanished into customs hell or was getting bounced back. Have a good Christmas, anon.
I swear anons I'm going to work on my cards tomorrow
>>274318617Anon it's 3 days before christmas....
>>274318625I can still make it
I wonder if my normal cards are all late or I'm only getting cards from those obligated by whitelist rules.
>>274316996Behold 3 art books that are worth around $100I see expensive art books at cons all the time. 100 is not un heard ofCan you get scammed on ebay? YesDoesn't mean you are 100% going to be scammed.My point was we don't know anything about the art book.It truly could be a collectors item, orbit could be junk.We won't know until the actual artbook is posted.
If we get multiple gifts that add up to our tier, does that count as fulfilling the tier?
>>274318716Ah yes, the classic 1997 artbook from a local anime store. You see it all the time.
>>274316345I just do the $25 and treat it like a $50-75 so its low pressure on me. anons feel like they get spoiled that way too
>>274318716Fucking kyoani moebutasWouldn't mind that Yasuhiko one though
>>274318716>>274316996>ebay
>>274318732thats kind of the point of a tier, most people get multiple items they're not all supposed to be that price
>>274318805Whew good, then I won't get blacklistedI got anon some extra gifts for my tier when it turned out the book I got him wasn't as expensive as I thought
>>274318745My local anime store has a ton of old stuff. I don't normally check the artbooks because I'm more into manga, but I can easily see an anon trusting theor store and buying a artbook and it being worth what they paid.All im saying Is it's possible and to hold judgment until we see the artbook posted here.
>>274318025Another possible problem is, with the current system you can police the cost of items. With a handmade-only tier, what is the threshold for enough effort? What is the threshold for handmade? There's so much variety in what people would think, that it's almost a guarantee someone will feel cheated in the end.In part, this is why I like the $25 tier. It's basically a guarantee my anon's expectations aren't set too high.
>>274318846If you sign up for the handmade tier, you shouldn't expect artisan craftsmanship. Last time I did handmade, I got something shitty. I pretended I liked it, thanked my anon, and left it at that.
em of ut I was surprised when I opened your card box and there it had ziplocks of mystery liquids.I followed your instructions and the mapo tofu turned out lovely.Thank you so much
>>274318732In general yes, though sending only a bunch of small gifts and nothing else in order to technically meet the gift threshold (e.g. a shitload of prize figures in the $150+ tier) is usually frowned upon.
Sending anon 100 $1 figures
>>274319540It would be funny to send anon the entire contents of a gacha machine
>>274318716Im expecting these under the tree next year lads no excuses now
>>274319592I see used gumball machines for about $25-50 at yard sales or on Marketplace pretty frequently it would be amusing to send him the gatcha machine to go with his hundred $1 gatcha figures
>>274318716I looked around a bit and found multiple listings for each item, I'll give you the average price for each (not the lowest I could find, just making sure you understand what an average is)>1st book~7$>2nd book~50$ (very cursory search because the name is retarded to search for, could find it 20$ lower and it would still be barely acceptable for a series like that, even though I personally enjoyed the anime)>3rd book>not even officiallol
Let's run a betting pool on the artbook. Our hint is that it's>from an actually acclaimed director and studio
>>274319844Without the key so he has to spend his own money to get them out
>>274320017Artbook anon here, it is indeed from an actually acclaimed studio and director, but the value was $45, so I got anon another large gift. This way he gets the book, something else, something else and my card, all adding up to the tier and everyone is happyHopefully...
>>274320221I'm so proud of you.
>>274320017Ghibli ez
>>274320221>inb4 it's a second art book
>>274320017groundwork of FLCL
>>274319992Pic related was on my Wishlist and I would be tickled pink to get a copy of this and this alone.Original price?$9 Going rate for a copy that is not beat all to hell?About $80Tell me anon what tier is this in?Same with sweetness and lightning There are like threw volumes that I cannot for the life of my find under $70Is it worth 12? Or 70?Hell I own a kata shoujo artbook that I paid $15 for at ax.I have been offered $300 for that by random people on here.If I were to sell it would it be $12 or $300?If I were to go to my local comic store and ask for Spider-Man issue one am I going to throw a temper fit because it's not 12 cents?
>>274320574
JK of OH rest assured you're not getting card grinched, I'm just more of a colossal retard than usual this year and have not managed my time very well.You should still get it before next year, but it's almost certainly too late for it to arrive before Christmas. Very sorry for my tardiness. I hope you can still enjoy it when it does arrive.
>>274319992And? I posted the first listing I saw of classic anime art book I didn't do much research my point is it's possible for artworks to be worth more than sticker price we don't know anything about the art book we need to wait for it to be posted here before we start bullying
>>274315298dozo>>274316874well i had a good chuckle out of it so don't feel too bad; I'm very grateful for the sweets as well, the mushroom(?) pocky looks intriguing so i'll pop that open come next movie night.hopefully the third card gets posted as well so we can all see them.>>274318352thank you for sending one my way ! sorry I didn't post em sooner, I know how it feels not knowing of your cards arrived fine. i don't think i've seen any of my non-whitelist cards get reposted at this point
>>274320753The point is that 80$ for an artbook is almost inconceivable. It has to be some extremely limited print god-tier anime with the blood of the artist as he was dying on it. All this is from a reputable nip vendor with a good run through the years. Such a price seen anywhere else is 100000% a scam and you are a retard for falling for it. No exceptions.Most I've even spent on an artbook is 8k Yen for an anon and I barely could get a hold of it. I almost caved in and kept it but I still wouldn't really pay this much again for an artbook.I bet a random anon's left nut that the artbook will actually cost max 20$ and I'm being generous.
>>274321225Read the thread >>274320221I made amends
>>274321243I saw your post and I still doubt the price. To be perfectly clear I don't really have a problem with you per se but people don't know how to shop properly and anons end up receiving much less than they deserve in their tier. Nobody wants to say "thanks dude but you paid too much and fucked me over merry xmas" so I'd rather it's clear that properly researching your purchases is important.
You bunch of faggots are going to start asking for a receipt inside the box, what a bunch of cry babies.
I demand receipts and a tax invoice next year
>>274321464handmade/25 doesn't have this problemI still undervalued what I included significantly to avoid customs taxes being worse
Jesus we have a bunch of newfags this year
So many people don't know how to buyfag.
I want to open my presents bweeeeeeeh
>>274291542Thanks for understanding, anon. I certainly bit off more than I can chew this year.I shipped out the gifts that were ready to go earlier today, and just sent tracking info to the s/a/ntas. The card doesn't have any gift spoilers, so you're free to read it before opening anything.
>>274321506Honestly, it could've been worse.From checking the other threads the quality of the board has taken a nosedive from even last year.Feels like the increased restrictions have the opposite intended effect: some anons who are /g/ as fuck used it as an excuse to cut back, while newfags (who are used to sites with way more restrictions) kept posting
>>274321591Do itNo one will ever know
>>274321651Considering this was the board that thought Haruhi was good and TTGL was revolutionary, it was never good/a/ was always a board of casual normalfaggots that cared more about shounen garbage and FOTM bullshit than the art form
>>274315059Sadly no, I didn't get anything this week.
>>274317795>Yuuka'na have a merry christmasI love this anon's cards so much, he talks so much but really has such a positive attitude and oozes soul and passion about whatever he's talking about.
>>274321591>Open presents as soon as I get them>Post them on Christmas day and act surprisedThis one weird trick. Santaloli hasn't caught on to me yet.
New morality testYou can open your presents before Christmas Day and no one will find outBut do you do the honest thing and wait for Christmas Day, or open it before and just post the photos on the day?
>>274321591I have installed arduinos with photodiodes and gsm modules in all of my gifts. If you open them early, you're getting a surprise 3am visit from one angry Santa and he won't be there to eat your jizz cookies
>>274316874UK anon here, I'm glad to be part of your fuckup, I will cherish canada anons card unless he wants it, and french anon is free to keep my card
>>274321843Are you actually a child? Have some patience anon it's only a few days away
>>274322037Hey man talk to this guy >>274321803I haven't opened mine yetAlso yes, we're all little girls here
>>274321412It's becoming increasingly necessary
Next year I'm going to just send my anon $100 in notes
>>274317161Perhaps, but that isn't at all what I was saying>>274319540You joke, but I remember seeing a listing on a govbid sort of site where I suppose an anime store went bankrupt and there was a listing for around 100 rei figures. I have no idea how much that auction closed for, but I would like to imagine that I could have got 100 of the same figure for only $10>>274321225NTA, but there are definitely artbooks that eclipse 10k yen. Hardcover books with 400+ pagecount can reasonably get to this price these days. Now, I'm not commenting on if he got fleeced or not, but book fetch a fair price tag.>>274320574It is just one of those things you just know. For one, if you're using ebay, never use listings as proof of price. Use sold items instead. On a lot of websites there is a racket (I can't really remember why) where books are listed at insane prices with the intention that they will never actually be sold. 20-30 year old items are going to be a bit hard to gauge pricing of, and it also depends on the anon if they'll respect that price. Personally, I can fully understand why specific volumes of manga would go for 10x the ticket price, but it is also up to the anon to also value it that way. Is that KS artbook (nice cop, by the way. Would like it myself) worth $300? If people are willing to pay that price, sure, but someone who doesn't understand that rarity won't agree. Ultimately, "worth" is a fickle concept and it depends on a lot of different things.As a word of advice to people for future years, perhaps don't buy out of print books for anon if:1. You're not familiar with OOP books2. Your anon won't understand the value of OOP booksSorry if this was a bit disjointed, we've been hitting the christmas spirits
>>274321843I would wait until christmas day to open them, but if I had plans with family that day or had to travel for whatever reason I would 100% open them early, take pictures, and post them on christmas for my santa on /a/ and not let anybody else know i opened them early, and this isn't a big deal at all.
>>274322037Manchildren are worse than children though.
Hey TG of VA!I got your package this week! Set it up under the tree and can't thank you enough for the strawberries and Melty Blend. My local place got an order of them in this year and bought a few boxes myself. Roll is so cute! She will be going onto my workboard when I get back from vacation.As requested, the card will be sealed until Christmas, but I can't wait!
>>274321845good post
>>274310701Glad to hear you liked it anon, yours is actually the first card I've made for /ss/, finally managed to get organised and sign up this year.I'm planning to give Teekyuu a watch in the new year, even though it's short I don't like binging things too quickly so maybe I'll just watch a few episodes at a time or something.Have a lovely Christmas!
>>274302691Nono, the thought's appreciated but I'm a patient anon. And don't worry, they'll see!I would assume it exists in some capacity, there's apparently a store uptown that sells specifically C.C. Lemon and other snacks.Am I just smelling Mailing Envelope? Paper? Oh no, I guess I have to keep sniffing my waifu until I figure it out.Alright, I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think of it, you should definitely pick up Akiba Maid War as well. I'd probably recommend that even over Bravern, and I absolutely love robots.>anon just always buys socks beforehand, regardlessMy (biological) mommy did comment how it would probably have been cheaper for you to use some sort of big envelope to ship the cards and socks together, I told her that things are mysterious in Australia but that I would forward the concern regardless. I was surprised to get a tracking number all the way from Australia.>had to look up what a thigh high was>apparently they go up to the middle of your thighsI think something's wrong...
>>274311917>Put on the socks, anon >:)see >>274322750
>>274322750Oh those are programming socks. Completely different from thigh highs and very manly
>>274323012I don't believe youI will never believe you!
>>274321931>>274321118I suppose the truly important thing is that you guys are entertained by my retardation and you got to see the cards that were intended for you anyway. Hopefully Canada anon gets his soon enough, and all three of you have wonderful Christmases regardless.
>>274319376looks delicious
I'm already excited for next year's secret s/a/nta
I live vicariously through looking at food anons receive
>>274323374After this year I dont even know if I want to do it next year
>>274323576The trolling and bullying was the worst I have seen it this yearNo one seems to have christmas spirit
>>274323723I'm pretty sure most of it comes from one person, there has been some pretty obvious samefagging, and I think its the Canadian troll judging by the fact they mentioned that pagpag or whatever and somebody was baiting about that in an early thread
>>274323822We need to help his heart grow three sizes
Reposting the card from CP of VA with all the gifts included this time. I dunno what the hell the bottom gift is but it's dense and heavy.
I'm tempted to open up one of my presents since its my birthday today.
>>274324496Do it
>>274324496Happy Birthday fellow Decemberchad!
>>274324496WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY? Happy birthday anon! And I think you should wait
>>274324496What's up with all the niggers with no self-control?
>>274294190Ah rats, sucks it's delayed but thanks for letting me know!
BC of TN your gift has arrived! The wrapping paper barely survived shipping but I promise I haven't peeked. I'll post pictures on christmas!>>274322397Your pictures every year warm my heart. waku waku
>>274324678>>274324732>>274324509>>274324567I'm waiting. I'm not that impulsive. Most of the reason why I'm tempted is because I'm not doing anything for my birthday since part of my family is out of town and we're waiting for them to get back.Thank you for the birthday wishes!
>>274293611Hahh, it's all good, something to look forward to after the Christmas Day itself then! I picked up your package the other day and boy was it heavy.. can't wait to see what's inside!
Would alcohol be considered as counting towards the price bracket or is it the same as candy/snacks?
>>274323723>>274323822It's almost certainly just one bitter nigger samefagging judging by the posting style. If you read the actual text of the cards being posted, participating anons are generally in good spirits and enjoying the season.Don't let some faggot sour the whole mood. And for fuck's sake everyone, stop replying to obvious bait.
>>274324937Snacks
>>274324937I could see it as part of the bracket if it were wishlist-related (like their waifu's favorite whisky or something), but most cases yeah snacks.
>>274324937I personally consider it towards the price bracket as i feel its too expensive for "snacks" but to each their own.
>>274324841>we're>weA-are you fucking married?!
>>274324937>buying literal poison
>>274325383No, my family has birthdays and an anniversary literally in a row. So we celebrate em all together.
>>274325390>wanting to live on this world
>>274325390Straight edge teenage loser get out
>>274325661>>274325815>falling for the alcohol scam
>>274325836I didn't fall for it, I dove into it head first
>>274325836You have to be 18 to post here
>they don't know
>>274322750>My (biological) mommy did comment how it would probably have been cheaper for you to use some sort of big envelope to ship the cards and socks togetherSee I did consider that, but I got worried about the card getting fucked up as a result. Sure it's a flat card so there's no parts that can break off or anything but I dunno the idea of the socks warping the cards just got to me too much. Not sure how much cheaper it actually would have been, though, and doing it box style was actually cheaper than how I did it last year, so it all works out.Also, separate sock note, I bought them in advance because I had specific types of socks in mind, though about a week or so after I sent everything out I found a website that had significantly cuter socks so that's something I need to remember if I do socks again.
>>274326201>a website that had significantly cuter socksPlease share.
>>274325463That sounds fun, pretend the gift the gift is like a bomb and threaten your family that you'll open the gift and make anon very mad unless they come home post haste!>>274321600Thanks anon, no stress! I can't wait for all of it and to unleash my gratitude upon you!
>>274295565Just so I know, what name did you address the gift to? If it's just the first name I shouldn't have too many problems but otherwise I'll have to explain to the office ladies why they've got a package for someone that doesn't live here.

MS from PolandARP from Spain Your card should be there by New Years, paid for prioritySM from The UK You have good taste in girls and shows! Don't open your card near other people.Your cards have been sent and will be late. There's no good reason, I'm very sorry.I don't expect any weird VAT/customs costs since they're all marked as gifts worth under $10, but apparently over the last couple of years USPS started flashing a weird "estimated costs" for recipient thing when buying postage, which seems to overestimate fees according to google. So if for some reason there is a new customs fee for US mail I can pay it, would just need to figure out something through the santas. Probably won't be an issue, over the years I've only heard of the post office trying to fuck one anon I sent stuff to over this.But yeah, expect tracking soon and hopefully the mail behaves. The only person at the post office I went to spent 45 minutes very slowly hunt and pecking all the customs info for your cards into a seemingly malfunctioning computer while the entire line behind me went through every stage of grief realizing they wouldn't get to the front before the post office closed, so hopefully that meant they read the customs forms very well. (I mean this very literally, I heard several instances of bargaining with the clerk)
>>274325390Let the gentiles have their fun, anon. It's Christmas.
I received this very nice, laminated card from a Spanish anon. A simply fantastic card! (You) know who you are. I'm visiting family right now so I don't have your card in front of me... I'll try and remember what you wrote.Merry Christmas, first off. Yes, I've read the City Hunter manga, although I never finished reading all of it since there are so many volumes. I hope you're my Santa for next year because I would like to see the next part of this comic. The military course this year was terrible. I've never seen a more poorly organized refresher course--not to mention I was sick 3 out of the 4 weeks. Well, now I'm enjoying the holidays and all is right.Thank you for the wonderful card and I hope you have a great Christmas and a happy New Year.
if you sent anything to ZT in WV i will be out of town starting monday before the post office opens :((. my cards are all done but will probably be late and i am sorry for that.
