Refuge Secret Santa - 2024: See you in November!

I know it’s cliche but it’s truly the thought that counts. That’ll mean more than any dollar value as far as I’m concerned.

I mean, I figured this would be the answer anyway. I had a good $30 idea, but I’m going with the other one. I’d rather get my person something that I think they’ll genuinely be stoked for.

The balls? Come on, man.

Stickers were proudly transferred to a new work laptop a couple months ago though.

Confirmed found.

We are looking at a situation where I think I may have crushed this, or I may have not… in my head I crushed it so I hope my person isn’t let down. I guess we will all find out.

I have a NCC hat I never wore. Bad memories

But seriously, I like the Dead, and music, and elastic in general. Puzzles-not jigsaw—and coats that are reversible. Books about war and golf, rarely fiction. Pencils from fancy golf courses, to feed a new addiction. Big ideas, and North Dakotans, and free samples of booze. I could have stayed mum, but I got nothing to lose. There’s your clues.

@JScore when are we playing golf again?

The type-A golfer in me decided not to mess with the Karma of chokepoints, so my SS shopping is done. Also, if I didn’t just do it, I’d likely forget, and my feelz couldn’t withstand the heckling I’d get from interweb strangers on this golf blog.

Downside - likely multiple shipments showing up between 11/23 and 12/29. So whenever my gui or gal receives a single item (which likely will be the least-expensive of the parts because #reasons) please don’t think I’m a cheap bastard. The resta your stuff is coming!

But on 1/1, THEN and only then can you determine I’m a cheap bastard :slight_smile:

Oh shit. Just got a badge from this thread. Didn’t realize that this is North of the wall where the Wildlings play.

Need a Holiday Trap Draw with @man_integrated that’s focused on the impact of #chokepoints on Refuge Secret Santa

Can I order custom items with enough time for them to safely reach my target?

Should I wait for a Black Friday sale to buy for my refugee?

What is the last day I can ship something in the mail and have it arrive in time? Via fedex? Via UPS?

Is the USPS a secret Illuminati organization?

Are the PRC grayscale warfare activities truly responsible for disrupting maritime shipping lanes in the South China Sea?

All questions needing answers.

Try peanut butter on BLT. Tip: put PB immediately on the bread after toasting to get it to melt.

Peanut butter on French toast is my fav.

Hell yeah, I want to hear your thoughts on it when you do try it. I’ll also slab some JIF on the next burger I grill up.

I had dated several girls in college and on first dates they usually opted for something very light (e.g. salad).

When my wife and I went out on our first date, I ordered a cheeseburger and she ordered a peanut butter bacon burger. Instant romance.

Just threw a massive Hail Mary for my gift, hoping it comes to fruition!!

This is some bullshit. I can’t believe I passed the reins off to someone who didn’t have to cuss and swear and inevitably fuck shit up because of the terrible Discourse DM system. Seems like you aren’t really getting the full Santa experience.

I sent like 12 DMs yesterday for address updates and I about quit.

Mucho kudos to you for dealing with that at scale!

Hey, @lazyjk looks like I got… myself in the secret Santa. If everyone is paired up I’m fine playing backup in case anyone fails to send a gift. Let me know!
