**OcUK Secret Santa 2011 - The unWrapUp!**

Well I suppose I had better put it on...

...
I don't actually get the reference though.

Note : I did actually know what was inside. It arrived pre wrapped from an online store and the silly billies included a packing slip with the details of what was inside! :facepalm:

Haha what a fail - this gift was from me, I suppose it is pretty rubbish if you don't get the reference... which unless you live and breathe OCUK you might not get. To worsen the injury there was no element of surprise due to the packaging fail :o :p

Oh well, wear it to the gym / paint the house in it with pride :D

My SS totally surpassed themselves, whoever you are, you are an absolute legend:

The ominous box... this thing was packed like a beast!

Here are the contents... a selection including a secret envelope "no to be opened before xmas" :eek:

I'm not kidding, this one had about 10x layers of wrapping on it. It was practically bullet-proof!

Inside was a collection of tasty treats! You can see I already have consumed most of the tasty 'hot-tamales' :D

Now all that was left was the secret envelope.....

:eek:!!! A years subscription to national geographic, my favourite magazine! This totally blew me away, on the back it says I will also receive a national geographic fleece and a series of maps with the magazines. Wow, what a treat! I'm always bleating on about how much better this is than new scientist... SS you did some great research with this one, what a thoughtful present.

Couldn't be happier, thank you very much :D:D:D
 
Wow nitefly, that's awesome! Any idea who it was?

why does this not surprise me?

and where is my victim with his presents?

I know he's up already.....perhaps he's too busy using one of them?

mine will be opened in a couple of hours so pics to follow then

What do you mean by that?
 
you and alcohol. No offence meant mate. Merry Christmas.

oh and I can't believe you are up ;)

Hah!

Na, its tradition in my family to get up have a big breakfast and get dressed before any present opening. Usually happens around 11. I'm a big fan of traditions like that. Also, my brother has to work today so were not doing present opening until tomorrow.

Though, I just woke up, staggered into the kitchen and poured a gin and tonic! ;-)
 
Many thanks bsoltan, Merry Christmas :D

I especially liked the inclusion of more polystyrene underneath the wrapping paper for the Lego light :)
Those hand warmers look interesting, and are sure to come in useful. Many thanks!

Oh and good spot about the Warwick microscopy page, it is indeed me but I hadn't realised they had put me on the group page :p
 
lol i was waaay off, i thought my SS was one of 2 people and it turns out to be neither.
Happy Christmas MrMoonX :D

but did you like the random gifts? and the message on the packaging :p


thanks to my SS for my metal string puzzle game, and a razr mouse mat, pics to follow when I get up properly

Epic Secret Santa is Epic :D

Here are my presents



Thought I would start with the card


Which made me smile, then more so when this fell out!



:D I played the demo of this back in the day but never got a chance to play the full game!



Then I opened this which is exceedingly cool!

And then my SS made christmas with this



:D little internet smiles and words cant express how awesome my SS is :D



Thank you so much my SS (who's clearly a good stalker) and Merry Christmas! :D

More exciting than the gifts from my family! :D
 
Well I got up today, had my breakfast after snooping in this topic on my phone. Got the gifts opened and I'm very happy with my SS gifts. Thank you SuperTroNarwhal (you were one of my two guesses on who my SS was :D)

Unopened since it arrived early December

Wrapped up tighter than a block of cocaine on its way from Columbia and just as suspicious! :D

Some festive wrapping along with a note *Spoiler inside* (could tell this was from a bloke already! :D)

Batman on Bluray.....as per your note, no i dont have a bluray player but I think in the new year when i buy myself a house I'll treat myself to another electronic gadget so I can watch this / get a bluray player for my PC.

Finally the note themed with Batman and some suggestions on what to do with the included £5 (try shift 3 on your keyboard to get the £ :p) So as a nice extra Christmas gift for noticing that Jake aka Phate owes me £5 from when we met on a OCuk photography meet I will change my sig and hopefully Jake will notice that he has to thank you for wiping out his debt :D


Glad Cleeecooo enjoyed your gifts. Since i couldn't find too much on you beyond watercooling stuff I decided to get you something I thought was pretty cool along with something for you to munch on as well :D
