Refuge Secret Santa - 2024: See you in November!

There have been no replies as of yet to my initial SS post, and today another sports-related package arrived. Specifically an envelope labeled “DO NOT BEND” that miraculously had not been bent.

[details=“Contents of large unbent envelope:"]

(Ok, so the desk sign was a gift from someone else last year, but damn! This is sick!)
[/details]

Pretty sure this is well beyond the suggested SS budget. There was no note, the return address was for the merchant, and nothing else in there, so my leading theory is this was a Refugee’s doing. Fucking A+++ my gui.

If jandy can’t figure out who you are that’s some impressive work. I guess his kryptonite is snail mail?

Thank you! I don’t know why I either never saw this or never got a reply notification for this post, just seeing it now. Incredibly generous!

Edit: hat tip to @Pendo23 for organizing my life.

If I had the time, trust me, I would have. But I’m sleep deprived to the point of not even seeing my own replies this week so I’ve got that going against me.

Edit #2: main component of my recipient’s gift is en route to that gui’s address, will add shipping to the tracker form.

I’m thrilled it finally made it to you in the Aloha state. I sent it right after Thanksgiving and literally watched its status every day. Have to thank @MrVinegar206 for some recon as well. Hopefully you read the letter to the Ronald McDonald Company because it makes it clear that you witnessed a horrible theft from them and certainly did not commit that theft. Hope you get to enjoy the rest!

I’d be lying if a part of me didn’t think I was now 3.74 cents richer.

Hope all of you who get someone that puts the thought and time into this like @ActionThomson put in this year. My guy killed it.

Also college baseball player and a lawyer?
My kindof guy :handshake:

Braves, baseball, and UVA. Couldn’t have done any better.

Thought I spend enough time on this hell of a site I figured I’d be easy but I guess I keep my cards hidden well enough!

Glad you liked it @ezmiss! Those Bull Durham pics are so sick! Happy holidays, my guy!

@Hovlandia you are a fucking mensch! Custom @Geaugolf Action Bronson head cover! Get the fuck out of here!


Secret Santa is the best. We all appreciate you @lazyjk

Speaking of insanely thoughtful gifts… @PTM thank you very much my friend. The Porcini hat is :fire: and the Karen Sypher reference in the note had me laughing so hard my wife came and checked on me. I’m sad to report that I am NOT the Nick Bennett on the baseball card, but it’s wild how close our bios match (minus the fact he’s a decade younger than me). Also, I never did frame my all time favorite TGJ cover, so this is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for being so kind and thoughtful. The place rocks.

Thanks to @kblewis14 for the very thoughtful gift. My favorite course and a glass to hold my favorite drink. I know my refuge presence probably wasn’t enough info to find something meaningful, but looks like your stalking skills are top notch. Thank you again. They are already being put to good use.
