its not too late to add some stuff to your wish list on Elfster if you want to give your Santa some extra clues of things you like

 

[cainer]

These damn wishlists make things too easy, bring back stalking I say!

you dont have to buy stuff directly off someones wishlist, just treat it as some extra clues

 

[cainer]

i picked up a £10 Amazon voucher in the supermarket earlier, thats me done

 

[cainer]

Question, if we buy our victim an item of clothing, it's a mandatory rule that they have to post a pic of them wearing it in the thread right?

yes, unless its me

 

[cainer]

If it's shoplifted, it doesn't eat into the £15 budget, right?

i carjacked a nice BMW for my victim, its got a kid in the back so they are getting 2 gifts from me

Reveal is made before the unwrap thread.

the Reveal is made as part of the un-wrap thread behind spoiler tags,

i like to un-wrap my gifts before looking at the list

 

[cainer]

i have stuff saved into baskets on a few websites, gonna see if any prices drop tomorrow before i order

 

[cainer]

Got a few ideas, though my SS is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in another mystery and then finally shrouded in a puzzle.

Out of interest what's everyone's view on 2nd hand presents, think I've identified a potentially quite cool gift but I could only get it within the price range if I went 2nd hand from ebay. Any thoughts from anyone on that? I'm not sure if it's a bit shoddy. Failing that I have a back up.

personally id not buy anything second hand and give it as a gift

 

[cainer]

Just a reminder that all gifts are to be posted by the end of Saturday!

 

[cainer]

remember not to give clues out about method/timing of posting

 

[cainer]

PS, butt plugs arrived today

i've had 2 of my victims gifts turn up today

 

[cainer]

^^ dont give too many clues away mate lol
there's normally one or two every year that give the game away

 

[cainer]

The rules are the rules but I think @cainer usually adds a bit of extra time for wasters like me (and now you). Mine should be out on Saturday but if not Monday (Monday better, free postage wooooo)

its a £5 per day fine for every day you're late

 

[cainer]

remember that you can use Elfster to send tracking/delivery details to the person you're buying for,
and also the person being bought for can acknowledge receipt of their gift

 

[cainer]

The 'In List' in the OP is updated with 'pressies received'
i almost forgot

 

[cainer]

Did you just assume Mike's gender

i lol'd

 

[cainer]

Hang on, your names mike. Are you sitting in a box underneath a Christmas tree?

nope, im busy wiping my search history clean after the things i bought for my SS

 

[cainer]

Received and you're the first pressies under our tree SS. Barry cat is pretty interested, he loves Christmas that cat does.
snip...

nice one, received list updated in the OP

 

[cainer]

SORRY! - Made an error - I got a secret santa parcel but it was from another forum SS that I'm in.
Not Overclockers SS.

OP received list updated downdated lol

 

[cainer]

I've got four boxes...

i've msg'd your SS to ask if its been delivered, it would be best if he/she adds the tracking to Elfster
