I signed up! Let’s make this year special!

signed up! other classic lolitas... sign up too...

Alright, I signed up. Could be fun

>>10939408
Signed up as a fellow classic

Thanks for organizing the event again this year! Signed up too, not classic but sweet

bump

One week left ish

>>10939830
how many sign ups so far?

>>10939841
So far, 10 people have signed up.

>>10939856
How many are jfashion vs only cosplay?

>>10939856
Sign ups should probably be extended

>>10939858
I don't think detailed signup statistics should be shared before the event has even started, I may share it later.

>>10939871
They can't, it already started too late, and people are already getting less time buying gifts than I'm comfortable with. But keeping the thread bumped on page 1 may increase the number of people who see it.

But even if the total number ends up being on the smaller end, the people who do join can still have an enjoyable event!

>>10939150
sorry anon, this is going to be shit

>>10939888
anon asked over a month ago about sign ups and you said you wanted to wait until closer to the date. next year you should start sign ups more than 2 weeks before the deadline. at this point it's barely worth bothering.

>>10939908
the deadline is december 13th, retard

>>10939912
They meant the deadline for signups.

>>10939888
How many did we have last year?

stupid question but what's a good anonymous way to link wishlists/inspo? Not sure if I just link my pinterest because it's connected to my real name

>>10939931
my match last year used https://mywishlist.online/ which worked well imo. you could also make a new pinterest account, i'm assuming.

Just signed up! Super excited for this year.

>>10939916
Last year, we had 22 participants.

Signed up!

What does every one like getting as extras outside of the main gift?

Why no $150+ spoiling tier this year? I looked forward to the extravagant gifting every year

>>10940092
Partly, it's another consequence of the signups opening as late as they did.

The general issue is that /cgl/ is getting less popular each year, and with fewer participants, it gets more likely that matches can't be found in the group people chose.
If the $150 tier had been made, it'd be more likely that some people couldn't be matched, and that would have required more time between signups closing and matches being sent out, so that people could be asked what tier they'd want to be moved to instead.

I can't say for sure that the $150 tier would have been made, even if the signups had opened significantly earlier, because it's still not a great situation to have to discuss moving to different tiers with a lot of people, but it could at least have been considered.

The $20 tier was removed for the same reason.

Signed up!! Can't wait

>>10940094
Am I able to still spoil my giftee or is that frowned upon?

>>10940114
There is no upper limit to how much you can spend.

If you write that you want to join the $150 tier on your signup form (at the end, not as your joined tier), it's possible you could be matched with other people who also write that, instead of what you actually joined, if anyone does and it works for the event overall. The same goes for the $20 tier. Don't expect it though.

>>10940094
Anon I used a read only mail unfortunately.

>Additionally, you mention that you would prefer to [...] If any other people express the same desire, would you like to be matched with them [..]? I can't make any promises though!

If anyone else expressed interest in it then yes!
also I fixed the name/address a bit

>>10940155
You really need to use an email that you can actually send from, remember you will need to send proof that you shipped your gifts! And there could also very well be other things that you need to be able to send emails about too.

Secret, I sent you an email on the 28th, now that the deadline is almost here would you please take a look and let me know?

>>10940241
I'm sorry about not responding sooner, I didn't know what to say, but I'll respond with what I'm able to!

Twelve hours and a little bit more until the deadline!

(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Dang, didn't get a match. Hope everyone else has fun though.

>>10940474
No one has gotten matches yet, I'm sorry about going past the deadline. All matching has been done, so it's just a matter of putting together the emails and sending them out.

>>10940477
>>10940477
Do you have an idea of when matches might go out? I’m just wondering if I should be keeping an eye on my email or not.

Matches just went out! If anyone didn't receive an email, check your spam folder and contact us!

hehe just saw my match
sending her my dick pics on polaroids and a nice dildo

hehe just saw my match
sending her a headdress, merch of her favourite husbandos and the OST to her favourite game

anyone already finished shopping for their match?

>>10941158
Nearly! I've definitely gone overboard, though. Super excited.

>>10941160
me too. my gifts are $40 tier but i've bought 1 main and i'm already in the process of making a second main piece for each. my matches have really good taste this year.

>>10941163
Your giftees are so lucky! I'm excited to see what they get.

>>10941158
I've gotten some things for my matches but I might shop for them at Ursa Major GLM just a few days before the shipping deadline.

>>10941158
I think Im like 80% done. I got a couple of thing off of my matches wishlist and found a main piece I think they will like. I feel like it needs some cute accessories or filler before I'm done though.

#6031, who is your favorite Animal Crossing villager?

Hello 4145! I'm your Santa in the $100 tier. I've finished shopping for the main parts of your gift, and I'm waiting for them to arrive so I can put it all together for you. Some of the prints in your wardrobe are also in mine, so I'm very excited to have been matched with you!

Santas, what are you most excited about in your gifts? (Be vague, no spoilers!)

#1945, a few questions!
>which ap postcards do you already own?
>do you have a favorite pastel or do you love all pastels equally?

#1293, do you have a specific clothing style you dress your dolls in, or do you not have a preference? Are you looking for boy or girl clothes?

Also, you mentioned not wanting anything with white lace — is ivory okay, or would you prefer to avoid the white color family entirely? Do you have any examples of dresses or items you already own in your wardrobe, for some inspiration?

>>10941243
I was able to find a wishlist item for my giftee, pretty excited about that.

>>10941247
#1945 here!! Pink is the most prominent pastel in my wardrobe, sax is a close second though with a few mint, yellow and lavender main pieces. As far as postcards, I don't have have many (been so focused on the lookbooks) Melody Toys, Dreamy Baby Room, Decoration Dream, Wonder Cookie, and Space Toys to name a few. It's nice to see you active on the thread, and thank you for asking for specifics

>>10941250
I have all-female dolls, so girl clothing is best! I often dress my dolls in lolita or other j fashion adjacent outfits, but I've been wanting some more casual outfits for them, too, so anything cute will work! My dolls are mostly 1/6 and 1/4 scale.

Ivory is okay, beige and ecru are preferred! I don't mind if it's avoided outright, though. I don't really own any main pieces with white lace, so white lace accessories tend to clash. I don't have a wardrobe post, but my wardrobe is mainly MM. I wear the rosettes and square headdresses (particularly my Saint Claire) often. If it helps, a lot of the main piece designs I like are more minimalistic, so little or even no lace is perfectly acceptable. Think Whyteleafe OP or Elodie Doll. You can't go wrong with corsages, either. I'm a huge sucker for corsage hair clips and combs.

How's everyone's shopping going?

>>10942384
Ordered a wishlist item from Indonesia for my giftee a month ago but it hasn't even shipped yet. I'm worried it won't be here before the deadline. It's not the only thing I'm getting them but still a little sad.

>>10942384

Finished my shopping, just waiting for the last few items to come in the mail. I’ve even started wrapping, so I should be able to send everything out before the deadline!

I’m debating if I should find more fillers, I have a few for my card matches, but nothing for my 40-tier. I love spoiling people, but I want everything to be useful, rather than random trinkets people might throw away.

I’m really happy to have found a nice brand item for my card matches, so hopefully they like what I picked out :)

>>10942384
just requested shipping for my buyee package, which includes gifts for my match. hopefully it doesn't take too long. i'm going for quality with all brand this year. hope she loves her gifts!!

Got my first $40 tier in today!

I really love this! I requested bonnets, since I don't have many, and this colorway happens to be perfect for a dress I own that I've been struggling with accessories for. I'm not familiar with the brand, but the quality feels very nice. I also enjoyed the candy. Thank you so much!

>>10943223
that's gorgeous! what a nice gift.

>>10943223
I'm so glad you like it anon! It's from a Japanese indie brand called Private Square that specializes in head accessories. I wanted to gift you something that would fit in your wardrobe so I went with ecru and roses but I was worried about the small purple details-- so I'm so relieved to hear it fits with a dress you own!

3034, your gift was shipped today and is currently scheduled to deliver 12/23/24. i am so sorry for the delay, and i am keeping a close eye on my email & the tracking to make sure the package clears customs smoothly.

Hopefully you'll have it in time for Christmas, but it said it may take longer without email or phone number because you need to get a letter to be told to pick it up, but hopefully it'll arrive at your pickup point in time and maybe you can know by watching the tracking?

9169, I got your gift today. I'm speechless! Everything in it is so perfect. I've been really needing a bordeaux velveteen headdress of some kind, and the necklace has a gorgeous angel motif. I already have two dresses in mind both will look amazing with. The purse was a huge surprise, too! I like to carry a lot of items around, so good quality large handbags are always something I can use. The YOSD dress ended up being perfect for one of my girls! She has mint accents on her body blushing that look amazing with the dress. You REALLY went all out and spoiled me! It made my day. (as an aside, one of my best friends is from your town, so the regional stickers gave them a kick!)

Thank you so much! Happy holidays! <3

I really failed as a santa this year, I didn't feel mentally there when I signed up and I never got there, what I sent really isn't to my standard. I need to consider really carefully if I should join again next year, probably skip it if I'm not ready from the very beginning.

hey #7084, I sent your card out a day before the deadline so I think it should have arrived by now or may arrive soon so I'm just letting you know so you can check your mail! -#6031

The wristcuffs are going to be a perfect match for my Cotton Candy Shop and Dream Fantasy salopettes. I am so happy to have some new AP jewelry to add to my collection too! The Decoration Heart necklace is such a pretty shade of pink (and so glittery) in person, my photo does it no justice. I'll have to try and find the matching earrings so I can be matchy matchy.
Have a Merry Christmas!

1293! Thank you so so much for spoiling me with all this for the card match! I love the Miffy plush, card case, all the cute stickers and washi tape. And the tea is absolutely divine! I had to wait until today to have a cup so I could bake a batch of my favorite buttery lavender shortbread cookies to pair with it. It snowed here in the afternoon so it was a perfect day for it. The KC you included is in a shade of pink that is a very good match for the dress I'm missing the headbow to.
Also I plan to start a visual diary for the upcoming new year, and I'm happy to have been given not one, but two rolls of film to kick off that photography project. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the sweet note and for making this card match so special. I wish you the best this holiday season!

Kind of a long shot here, but does anyone here recognize this artwork?
My SS in 2015 drew it - This is the shitty pic that just popped up in FB memories, but I actually still have the drawing framed on a shelf in my studio.

It's such a silly lil thing, but it's like.. The first thing that anybody ever made just for me. I really treasure it. I'll take a better pic later.

Oh my goodness, you went above and beyond 1293! You nailed my style so perfectly, I could cry. And your handmade headdress was so gorgeous. Incidentally, I got you as a card match and sent you a similar accessory but not nearly as nice as this. I feel like I should have spoiled you more! Also, I was at Ursa Major and regretted not getting that tin so I was absolutely thrilled to see it when I opened the box. All in all, you're too generous, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Merry Christmas #6636! Apologies for the delay in posting your gift, I waited to open it on the 25th to enjoy one last surprise of the season. Firstly, I can't believe you found two items from my wishlist in such a short amount of time!!! I love the illustrations on the Pirates dress, it's so nostalgic for me because I am extremely fond of the older style of artwork from the 2010 era prints. I'm happy to see it on a current day jsk (and it's cotton too, yay) Thanks sm for including the barrette as well! I'll probably wear it this weekend, I can't wait haha.
The gingham apron is going to go perfectly with my dream dress, I'm ecstatic to put together a coord with it.
Thank you for spoiling me, I feel like I hardly put anything on my wishlist, and didn't expect any of it, much less two items. The shiny tissue paper and cute note was also a nice touch and I appreciated it very much. Have a safe and happy New Year

Thank you so much, Santa! (I apologize for the belated post. It's been one heck of a week.) Your gifts are amazing. I already wore the JSK, blouse, and necklace to my knitting club last week, and I will for sure wear the wristcuffs when I coord it less casually. I love how the JSK can be styled for Christmas but also worn year-round. And you are so sweet for finding my wishlist hairclips - I will definitely get a lot of use out of them! Everything was wrapped so beautifully with adorable stickers. I really felt the effort. Thank you for making my Christmas fantastic this year. Happy holidays!

Mine was the 40 tier too, but I overspent a bit and got her wishlist stuff + more and individually wrapped like 10 different things with thematically appropriate paper for each. I choose to think she smiled when she opened them

Thank you so much to my card match for the adorable card! I love the teddy bear illustration, it's so cute. And the message you wrote was so sweet as well. I love the rabbit stickers you included too! I didn't see your ID number anywhere but my ID number is #6031. Thanks again and happy holidays!

I will give people the weekend to post what they have received, but next week, I will have to start asking people for updates on where they are in the posting process (unless tracking shows it's still being shipped, or it's already been discussed)!

wow this is so low effort kek

>>10944657
Looks like it was a card tier and it was a small extra that fit in the envelope. It's more effort than a card by itself

I’m glad you like it!! I was really impressed by how cute the Meta piece was in person, it was cute in the photo but so much nicer once I had it in hand. Happy holidays!

7420 here, all of my card matches have came in, now just waiting on my gift match. All of my card matches are wonderful! #1945, the cinnamoroll socks ive been wearing alot since its now chilly in my city, also drank the Paris tea yesterday and it was absolutely delish. The stickers and card were also very cute.

#3364, the cinnamoroll pop up tree is way too cute and ill be keeping it up year round but moving to my pc desk. I was really shocked, never had one of thesd but always wanted one! Thank you!

#2013, that Troika bar was way too yummy. I looked them up online and already placed an order for some more. The anime merch is so cute, and ive already placed the k-on card next to my anime figures. The madoka buttons ill be putting one or two on my work lanyard. Thank you!

#7084, when i saw Chief my heart melted. You drew him so well! And in a santa outfit was just the cherry ontop. I have put your crane in my xmas tree heh. Really loved the creativity of your card.

Thank you all so much, I hope you had a wonderful xmas and new years!

>>10944768
Unrelated anon but Chief is precious, I have him on my island and I love that he is always singing with his unexpectedly deep voice

>>10944780
He is literally my husbando, I had a friend couple years back commissioned to make a mini plush of him (think keychain size) hes the best.

Thank you #3034! AusPost have FINALLY decided to deliver your gift. Everything is perfect and I love that you were able to find things from both ends of my styles! The BAPE x Hello Kitty shirt is so good and I appreciate you hunting it down and the JetJ skirt is great as well. Both of the clothing items are exactly my style and you chose well! The earrings are also really cute and are definitely the right vibe too. Thank you sooo much again, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

to my card secret santa: after a mail mix-up with my family members, i can finally take a picture of what you sent! the envelope was thrown away by someone else before i could see it and i'm not sure what your ID number is. regardless, i love your card, messages, tea, and keychain! i'm going to try the tea right now. hope you had a wonderful holiday season, thank you for your generosity!

I don't participate in this particular board's secret santa because I don't partake in lolita fashion and come here mostly for con threads but I'm glad you all still do it and keep it alive. Board secret santas are good holiday fun. Also this >>10943777 sweater is incredibly swag.

Thank you so much #9169 for the cute card and all the extras! The necklace is one of my favorite AP ones and it will go perfectly with my wardrobe! Also thank you so much for all the local snacks, items and description of your local attractions. Always fun to learn about new places :) Hope you have a great 2025! ~ #3034

#7084-- I just received your gift, thank you so much!! This was my first time participating and you totally spoiled me. Everything fits perfectly into my wardrobe, and I'm especially excited about the mint blouse as I've been looking for a nice mint blouse for a while. The headpiece is adorable, I'm going to get a lot of use out of it! And thank you for the stickers and handmade handkerchief, I'm super smitten with everything you picked out for me
Also, I think I was matched with you in the card tier and sent you a card-- I hope that it got to you safely or will arrive safely soon!

Thank you again and happy holidays!
