Refuge Secret Santa - 2024: See you in November!

It’s here!

Thank you @Conley76 for the ITYSL shirt, mug and sticker! I love them all and my wife and I had a good chuckle reading the mug

Also, thank you for the nuts and Faygo! The Faygo takes me back in time and reminds me of going to my grandparents house as Faygo was my grandma’s favorite. I never had the heart to tell her about its cult status with ICP fans. My brother and I would always joke that maybe she was a closet fan of ICP and that’s why she drank it.

Cheers and thanks again!

I was at the store to get the nuts (those are made here), and I saw the pop and figured maybe you had never gotten to taste the best pop ever made, so grabbed one for you and one for me lol. I hope the shirt fits, even if just for yard work. If it doesn’t, I could probably do an Amazon return and have you send it back and ship you a bigger one. Impossible to know how shit from Amazon will fit. Liked the mug because you can probably use that in an office and no one will think anything of it because the text is so small. Like I said, I’ve got one more smaller thing for your dog, and it’s probably my favorite thing from the box. The item I never got was a Christmas tree ornament of Tim on the zip line from the dating episode.

I tried to dig through your posts to find some non ITYSL stuff, but it wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped, and I don’t have merch from cool courses laying around or anything. And tbh, I loved looking through all the fun ITYSL stuff that was out there. Wanted to get you a dan flashes golf shirt, but the only one I could find only went to an XL and had long sleeves.

My dude @Haymart had to have brought me good fortune today on the course. First round using the balls I got from SS and I broke 80 for the first time in at least three years and shot -1 back nine for my first under par nine hole round in probably a decade. I give all credit to my Santa.

Let’s go! Love to hear that. I just joined the Maxfli gang after buying them for you. Hoping I’ll have at least a little bit of that magic when I get out there!

This was insanely cool. Seeing the amount of thought people put into their gifts and actually having to put in some effort to find a gift for someone has made me reevaluate my gift giving for my friends and family. Hoping to blow some of their minds in 2024. Cheers everyone.

@dshaddy the final items arrived and were a big hit in the household. Sincerely appreciate the thought that went into all of the gifts. Looking forward to next year already!

I want to send a 2 year follow up and thank you to @jwfickett for his secret Santa gift. My daughter is 2 now. She was a little more than 6 weeks old when he sent her this night light in the exchange of 21. We rearranged her room recently and the night light now sits in a spot where it’s accessible to her. We’d been playing and reading, and hadn’t yet turned on her Hatch yet but this light was on and I was able to capture this moment. It’s pure and beautiful and it wouldn’t have happened without this community. Thank you @lazyjk as well

Finally have my golfice moved to basement corner and coming together. @LayingTheSod Scotland Map next to OG rules of golf. And @PersistentlyOverPar Strapped Iowa poster to my left by the bar. Moving office closer to bar may be a poor idea :man_shrugging:

I’d love to take credit for the Strapped Iowa gift, but alas, I was not your Secret Santa. Everything looks pure class though.

I can confirm 100% it wasn’t me. My gifts have always been based on local items from where I live.

I hope the little one is feeling OK.
