Secret Santa, you're so silly!
This is the absolute perfect gift! I've wanted this exact mug forever but I'm not great at buying myself things I don't absolutely need. So I probably would have never gotten it without you. I love it so much! I'm already using it. :)
I don't know who my Secret Santa is. The card doesn't say. So I hope he/she sees this.
FP EDIT: Wow, never made it to FP before so this is kinda cool. So I get to ask for something. No nudes. Send me cute kitty pictures/memes/whatever. I like funny stuff.
FP EDIT 2: Yay! My Secret Santa saw this and was thanked. Thank you again, @Redonkadonk! Best Secret Santa EVER!!! :)

I like this secret Santa post because it's not just someone that bought hundreds of dollars worth of stuff knowing it'd be posted
nnugles
Plot twist: this is just a clever ad... and it is effective. I just ordered mine. =^_^=
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
LMAO!!! :)

I am really glad to see someone just sent one thing. I was worried that I would be the only one not sending out a bunch of things.
mediumsizedtittycommittee
I'm sending two small-ish handmade things and some homemade Christmas cookies!
CripPick
Don't mind me im watching you two from the closet wishing to be the friction in your jeans. I like your username
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
Thanks. :)
shanabanana
From one Alicia to another...*upvote for you* Grats on the wicked cool mug!
zap3125
I wish I could have participated, but I have no money to send neat things with.
Gamurr
May be wrong spot... But what if you don't hear from your Secret Santa? HP do I go about gifting them something they'd like,?
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
Last time I did this, my person didn't list any interests and their username didn't work so I grabbed something generic - candy and stuff -
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
and hoped he liked it. I hope he got it. I never heard either way.
MeepTweet
Either way you made someone's day!
jellyfiiish
This is cute. I wanted to participate but i really suck at gift giving and I didn't want to disappoint.
imamermaidladeeda
Wait. I want to do secret santa! How do I join??
robotsalad
There are a couple of other people in the comments asking the same question. Perhaps you could PM someone and exchange gifts with them?
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
You had to sign up by a week ago. There was a little ad about it at the top of the page for a while. Sorry you missed it. :(

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I want in on this secret santa stuff. what I do?
Mikentrigger
I also have not received info on who to send a gift to?
MartynMage
Please email me contact@giftagiraffe.com
catloafmeow
Aww man! I really wanted to get in on the secret Santa thing but the form kept glitching out on me every time I tried to sign up!
MrMarmalade88
Wait. Is it xmas already? Thought the time difference feom me to us was 9-12 hours not 24 days :O
JudgeRhymehold
Learn something new every day!
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
Yeah, I'm not patient enough to wait. Haha
kschliesman95
I'm so excited for my person to get their gift. I hope he likes it. [:
highsteppingponies
Overachievers! I'm still thinking
Techtronic
Why was this opened this far from Christmas?
MartynMage
I never made a rule that you guys have to wait :P
OPmakesOC
Santa did
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
Cuz patience is a virtue I do not possess.
nijlonkai
3 secret Santa's in a row ditched me so now I buy for angel tree kids.
jenzhere99
I had some health problems/financial difficulties and didn't send my gift until April. I'm glad my person understood.
katzetrufflebum
Ya last year was the first time I did it, I put a huge amount of effort into my gift. Got nothing in return ????
GwenShepard1
The person you gift to is not the one gifting you tho
katzetrufflebum
Yes I'm aware of that
mediumsizedtittycommittee
I signed up because I love giving gifts, and hope that mine will make someone's holiday a little better.
katzetrufflebum
I did too, but it still sucks when the person that was supposed to send you a gift couldn't be bothered to.
PapaTimDankopus
Can't wait until I get my gift shit together really.
HPWombat
Me too... o_o
PapaTimDankopus
I just confirmed the order on the 8th. Sometimes it's hard when you have to decide between christmas presents and groceries.
sj2890
I want one!
pearlypearll
@op (or anyone who knows how to help), I signed up for SS but never received an email. Who do I contact? I'm a mobile used so I can't msg.
mediumsizedtittycommittee
@martynmage
MartynMage
Thanks for the tag!
MartynMage
contact@giftagiraffe.com - email me asap :)
pearlypearll
Okay I just did :)
pearlypearll
I received your email. Thank you!
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
Go to giftagiraffe.com. Might be info there. I'm not sure.
MartynMage
For the record, with any issues in this, emailing me is the best thing to do - contact@giftagiraffe.com
MartynMage
Also, totally wanted to see a picture of you using said cup, but I can live without it :p
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
I might take a selfie later and I'll tag you if I do. But I'm too lazy to do it tonight.
MartynMage
I know exactly how that can be. Currently too lazy to feed myself right now, too busy with emails haha
oxmisskittyxo
My international SS never sent anything last year :/ I made sure mine got a fun package full but then no post...just suckage all around
CreativelyRandom
I'm currently wrapping my ss gifts, and didn't know if I should sign with my username or not. Might do it now, so I know if they get it :)
Jncat
I was wondering that myself....would it then not be secret Santa but cr8tive4life Santa.
CreativelyRandom
I don't think I want the responsibility of Santa. I like wrapping presents though, just not the decision making.
Jncat
Haha yeah I hate making decisions.
DarkMaster98
SS gifts, you say?
therollercoasterconducteur
SS GIFTS not GIFS
Jncat
Are you supposed to tell them....or is it a secret? I want to make a friend on imgur dammit! I'm telling them it's me.
CreativelyRandom
I put my username inside the card, I'm mainly hoping to be tagging in their unboxing post (if they make one) or to get a message saying 1/
CreativelyRandom
they got it. (just realized I wrote tagging instead of tagged...what happens when I type fast darn it.) 2/2
LurlineLumpkin
Please sign your username. When posting your presents you are supposed to tag the user so they know you received your gifts.
theUniverseMomentum
As a german, I'm not entirely sure if SS gifts are something I should support.
CreativelyRandom
ss = secret santa. I abbreviated to save letters
SwarleysQuinntervention
whitechocolatethunda
Oh it's all coming together now. Ty for clarifying (ty = thank you, I abbreviated to save letters)
theherbalhelper
It's = it is, you abbreviated to save letters
ImmaNeedBoutTreeFiddy
Tree fiddy = three fiddy, it's shortened to save letters
0ppai
But you added in more letters by explaining.
gobbo
Shhhh, just let it happen!
sulfuratus
Yeah, but since they have enough left before they reach the limit, that's ok (abbreviation for okay)
PhysicsAndRomance
He was making a joke. In WW2 the SS was Germany's secret police that did bad stuff.
AlmostButNotQuiteEntirelyUnlikeTea
Also, interestingly, 'Gift' is poison in German. Though the police (Berlin) were the stasi!
SwarleysQuinntervention
Gift is gift. Poison is Gif
sytvicious
The stasi was the GDR secret service
AidanHunterCZ
SS wasn't secret police. It was paramilitary organization. Gestapo was the secret police.
PhysicsAndRomance
Thought I might have those mixed up, whoops.
Nepheling368
Upvote to your secret santa see this

I think you a word
soggymobflip
He meant so.

BuckyBadass
English, son. Do you speak it?
ImgurPlis
Hope his secret santa sends him an "English Grammar" book
Nepheling368
I try, but i kindly ask to you point me whats the missing word
Smashallsmurfs
I think you meant "Upvote SO your secret santa can see this"?
Nepheling368
This..... is actually better, thanks
browsib
*motherfucker
Seventythird
he a word too
KodiSniggih
Swearing isn't allowed on the internet... right? My mom will find out for sure
soggymobflip
Seriously, how does he leave that out.
dreadlock
Political correctness has come to Imgur :)
R2d2US
Political correctness? His name is BuckyBadass. Not too PC there.
SomeCrazyNerd
Political correctness is not relatdd to swearing. Liberals probably swear more than conservatives. More old religious folks in conservatives

giitsok
This makes me sad. I'm completely alone with an 18 month old baby and I'm just rewrapping his toys to have something to open at Christmas.
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
I'm so sorry. Sign up for Toys4Tots. It's something. And baby will never know the difference. Family and love are most important.
giitsok
Don't be sorry. I wanted to join this so I could get one gift this year lol. But I just couldn't find the funds. Cute gift though <3
mediumsizedtittycommittee
I've been there! He's a baby, he won't remember anything bad, just the time spent with you. It will get better <3
giitsok
I feel stupid for being all alone when his father lives with his mom only half an hour away doesn't want his mom to be alone. She hates me
mediumsizedtittycommittee
Don't worry, I left my ex and he moved in with his parents... 3 years ago. I picked a real winner that time. Keep doing what's best for you
mediumsizedtittycommittee
And your son. He will know you did your best :)
Krantaz
That's so cool! I have no fucking clue what I'm going to send my secret Santa :(
OzzyMcThorsen
Send nudes
BradPiss
Me neither.
LovelyLadyLumps
I got a bunch of cute random things I would love as a gift & sent it to them the other day!
chaquitabananana
I have ideas but not alit of free time to make what I want to make!! Ahh!
NeneJPhilly
Me either. Her profile was nearly empty but completely vague.
THICKdickRonWeasley
I'm having the same issue!! They put little to no information. How are we supposed to be good santas with no information!?
savvyy0
What did they write about themselves?
AssamLaksa
Food is always great.
calyxium
Mine likes tech and video games... I thought maybe a raspberry pi?
Weedleloo
I have the idea planned out for mine, I'm just going through the annoyances of making it to fit how I want it to.
EinsteinsFitAsAFiddle
I like getting people stuff that's fun to have but probably wouldn't be something they'd buy themselves because it seems frivolous.
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
That is amazing advice. Like, I love the mug but I didn't get it for me cuz it seemed frivolous. So now I couldn't be happier!
sausageseeker
That's the best advice!
Thetextistoosmalltoread
it didnt help that the field to fill in what they like had a character limit.
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
I finally found the gift I'm sending. I think it's cute. I hope he likes it.
CreativelyRandom
Small suggestion that might help. Get something they can use, something to do, or something they enjou
CreativelyRandom
*enjoy. Everyone always gets a mug from me, it's practical. Then I try to find something they might enjoy.
RyanBall1
Would a dildo qualify as enjoyable?
CreativelyRandom
Someone would think so, I'm sure.
TacoPrime
Send tacos
Krantaz
Do you have stock on tacos?
oshytnouga
Is the person that got picked for you also your Santa?
Krantaz
I have no idea. This is my first time
SweetLikeIcing
Question: Would a hand knit hat or gloves be a good SS gift? I'm having trouble figuring out what to give my match
Weedleloo
I'm making crochet things for my SS. Luckily I got the perfect match.
Cinnamok
I'd love something like that personally
forcerealzyo
I think that'd be fine, especially if you could throw a nod to one of their interests into it.
SweetLikeIcing
profile doesn't show many interests but her cat passed away a while ago so I thought about making a cat eat hat, would it be appropriate?
Ikweethetniet
Nothing like most do?
Calibrachoa
Is this true? :(
Ikweethetniet
Well I got nothing last year. And there weren't enough backup gifters so I guess so?
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
Me, too. I've been searching online, but I can't find anything that seems right.
KookyPooBear
I have a secret santa?
KookyPooBear
Shit i didn't know I haven't gotten anything
TacoPrime
Send tacos
Scahrossar
You can never go wrong with Taco's \m/
mediumsizedtittycommittee
God I hope you're my secret Santa
Krantaz
I'm not really good with gifts, but you and I will both find something. Friends suggested just a prepaid card but I wanna send an actual gif
weregoindowndowninanearlierround
Me, too. A prepaid card seems like such a lazy cop out. I'm not even good at getting presents for people I know! LOL
ImFunAtGrammarParties
Is your person from another country? If so, I'd probably send them a variety of local food, craftsmanship etc.
tatopotato
My advice is to go to a store (not like Walmart, but maybe a knick-knack store or place that sells mildly interesting things). I did this/

/at the Bruce Co Store in WI. For someone I know I made a giftbox with chocolate, a pinecone necklace, a field microscope, a bird call/
