ILF SECRET SANTA v2 (2011)

[BlindtoFaith]

We did decide that the package HAS to contain some sort of pedal right? haha

What are you laughing about? Did the accelerator from your car just broke off?

Instead of pedals I would also accept custom shop guitars, vintage synths or a Fender Rhodes. As long as it makes some noise!

Edit: Or how about an Emperor 1x15" and 2x12" cab?

Did we agree on a rule of thumb for the earliest these can go out? What is the standard rule of Secret Santa etiquette? Send 'em off whenever they're ready? How early is too early? Mine's not completely done yet, but it could be pretty soon...

[phantasmagorovich]

I guess it's alright to send them out early, if they are in a gift wrap. I will send mine out beginning of December. I guess that is soon enough if there is cross-border trouble. If I were in the states I'd go for something like 10th or so.

It's just naargh to have these presents lying about that you are not allowed to open for a while. Wouldn't want my victim to be mad at me for taunting him/her.

Yeah, that makes good sense... beginning of December seems reasonable. I keep forgetting that it's right around the corner!

I left room for error and whatnot. And especially with our foreign friends, it's just a better idea to ship them early.

Also, I had the big epiphany of what to get my recipient. I hope he pees a little.

Well holy crap... that'll teach me to, like, read and stuff.

I think we shot for an early date this year because of a few late packages last year.

yeap!

I have a feeling my SS is someone I don't really "know" (& kind of hope so)

I just got the first part of my gift in and got conformation that the second should be ready in a couple of weeks.
I'm off to the candy store!

[colin]

I've ordered the main parts of my gift! Now I just need to get some sort of candy and music, and to be honest the music will probably be an old cd that I have multiple copies of.

Secret Santa shopping 2/3 done and I realized that I'm taking this more seriously than buying gifts for my actual family.

Pedals acquired. Jank in the process.
