(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[tanya0949]

I finally started shopping tonight for my SS and I had a blast! I bought all of my extras but have to figure out what main item(s) I want to purchase. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I want to purchase everything!!! I totally see how people end up spending way too much /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (totally going to be me...)

I.Love.This!!

I'm heading to WWHP very soon!! I so wanted to send my SS giftee a postcard from Hogwarts, but alas, there is no love for Harry or any things Potter listed...ho hum....

What kind of person doesn't like HP? I shudder at the thought of meeting them! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The kind of people that want you to smell their hair while ordering "special" drinks that they pay for in pennies while making rude comments about how you are "only a service worker". The worst kind of people

I am hoping my person is someone that has been active, but even if they aren't that is fine with me. It would just be cool if my ss was someone I knew so I could be like hey sneaky lady thanks for the gift! lol

I don't think I've ever met a person that hated HP. I hope to never meet one because I would feel bad for them while I talked about it to them until I convinced them it was amazing Lol

You should send it anyway!  Unless it costs like a crazy amount of money.  I think in general people like getting mail and have all heard of Harry Potter.

I have read all the books and only seen one movie.  After reading about the HP fandom here I went looking to see how people got "sorted" into their houses (Slytherclaw etc) and the survey I did said I was Gryffindor (not sure which survey I did, just a random google search and picked one) And I guess for all I know they actually went to WWHP and got sorted there.  I read and enjoyed the books and was sad when they ended.

 

[angienharry]

I would feel so sad if I didn't get a reaction/reveal from my SS! 

I would be so sad too. I just got one of the gifts I ordered and it is awesome in person. I can't wait to know if she loves it!!!!

 

[Kristine Walker]

      Am I the only on waiting for Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales? I've ordered a couple of things for my lady, but I was waiting for big sales to get the most I could with the budget, now I feel like a slacker lol.

     PSA: I don't do any crafts and utterly suck at gift wrapping. I am, however, putting a lot of thought into the gifts and including extras.

 

[chelsealady]

I feel my person in both will post. They both come to the boards daily even if they don't post. I finished up my craft project today. So it's all coming along.

Start shuddering. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I don't do Harry Potter, LoTR, twilight.... None of it. Oh, and I don't like Starbucks. At all. Well, okay maybe hot chocolate. I'm a freakin' weirdo, y'all!!

You're not alone!  I have a bunch of stuff added to my shopping bag on at least five different sites, but I just can't pull the trigger knowing that Black Friday is so close.  They're pretty much the same items on each site, but I just like to see which one has the best combination of coupon codes, gifts with purchase, cash back on ebates, etc.

 

[tweakabell]

I'm shopping now because my box needs to get out as soon as possible and whatever doesn't go to my santee will be wrapped under the tree for me. With the excess though I could probably have used an extra santee

 

[mermuse]

This thread is on fire. I cannot keep up, and I'm sleeeeepppppyyy and crazy overworked on top of it. I'm going to be curious to go back and read the posts of the person who had me and see what they said in this thread. Anyone else curious about that? I hope my SS is satisfied with my info. I could say a lot more. I should have said I have a bunch of color tattoos and l'oreal infallibles and about 6 lip tars. Didn't think to proclaim what I had a lot of. I'm just too burnt out to post here as much as I'd like. Blah blah blah I want to buy all sorts of stuff but there are no good deals on my picks. I might wait until Black Friday. I can't decide!

 

[luckyme502]

I am not a fan girl of anything. Harry potter it's something my daughter was into, not me so much.

YES. Decaffing people was the best way to go and being extra super nice. One of my baristas did get yelled at because the customer (who was being rude) thought my barista had pressed the decaf button when she didn't! I saw her >not< do it!

It is pretty fun speculating who may or may not have you. The longer we all keep posting as the days go by before the reveals, we are able to rule out certain people. But there are always those stealth ones who fly under the radar and don't post in this thread. Darn them! Lol
I knoooow. I feel like my person isn't gonna be someone who I've interacted with much!

I forgot to list fandoms but I love HP too! and Daria. And King of the Hill. That's pretty much it?

Lol! I want my person to think I'm being a sneaky lady. I'm probably not though. And, who would hate HP??
