OK I'm confused. My anon asked for nothing lewd, but then listed a tenga cup and some dojinshi. Is that a yes or a no one the lewd side?

>>133528788
I feel ya I went like $30 over on the $100 and on the $150 I spent another like $30 - $40 so almost $200 and I have 1 more on the $50 - $75 haven't decided yet what to buy for him though.

>>133528733
It's not that bad, you just have to be creative. at $4 are you really going to be upset if you order an abstract line drawing, witty catchphrase, subtle hint, or 6 lines or less waifu?

I hope my assignment is ok with the present being late.

I don't get the money for their gift until next week or so. ;.;

Though I'm already pretty much done with my card assignments!

No, I mean I bought a nendo, so I would keep that in its box and wrap that, right? As for tags, on a different thing I bought, it has a tag that doesn't include the price, but I think is important. It's like the tags on plush toys. I'd keep that on it, wouldn't I?

>>133534179
Yeah, you want to keep that on.

Mandarakes credit card shit was fucking up for me too, thankfully someone else had what I was looking for for about 300 more yen.
Thankfully they're putting a gift bag in it too. RL Jr of PA, you're gift is now shipping to me first, I'm going to add some shit in it from personal shit, and then it's coming to you.

Dammit, I was just hoping to be nice and tack on a little doujin but that screwed me. Let's see what they say about it. I'll have to cancel and redo it if necessary.

Should I just give up and buy them the ugly save edition instead?

>>133541224
Mix and match at that point.

Also funny noise as in loose disk? or funny noise as in broken tab.

I still haven't seen my initials.

>>133541448
That's nice, neither have most people participating. Some people dont want to give any part of the suprise away beforehand. Be patient and have faith in your /ss/.

>>133541448
Neither have I, but I'm not too worried about it since there's only been 5 threads including this one where initials could be posted. It's also still Nov. Once it gets to Dec. then I'll worry a bit more about not seeing my initials.

>>133540497

Right I thought you bought two of the same but I get it now. Broken tabs aren't too bad and unless you can get a refund I wouldn't bother keeping them unless you want them fr yourself. You could try to make the best of a bad situation, print out a replacement sleeve cover for the first, maybe something comical. For the second, you could leave it sealed and send it off with a loose tab. Or just open the thing up on one side, take out the loose part and leave a note.

It sucks but you are already fucked either way.

>>133553061
You get blacklisted.

>>133553061
Shipping doesn't count towards the budget and even if the item was overbudget without shipping, you should still get it out the goodness of your heart.
You cancel by contacting them or just not paying but there's high blacklist rate for doing so.

Anons, would you, in your opinion, wear a custom printed shirt if you received one?

>>133555326
No.

>>133555326
If it was suble reference then yes.

>>133555326

Mostly depends on the quality.

>>133555326
My SS last year sent me one and I've worn it several times. Although it's a L when I normally wear M. So if you're going to do it I'd suggest sending Santaloli / Santafaggot an email asking if they can ask for your anons size.

>>133555416
I'm sure just doing a Large would work, right? If it's too big, then it's a comfy oversized shirt.

>>133555440
Sure, rather too big than too small I guess. But ideally i'd want an M.

>>133555440
I'm a manlet so L would probably wear like a dress. Not that I wouldn't mind a full-on dress, I guess.

>>133555381

Finally, this year I got someone close to me for a card assignment. Whoever has me better be ready, because I'm delivering this card in person and maybe t-treating you to lunch or something? Don't take it a creepy way, I'm not hitting on you or anything, I just really love going out to eat and hate doing it alone.

>>133557718
Where

>>133557734
AL.

>>133557718

D-deto?!?

That's a little creepy Anon.

>>133557718
I'd love it to be honest. Just keep in mind that some people might not be home.

>>133557793
I just want to hang out. I mean, I can bring my 3DS or something, I don't know anon. Please don't bully me.
This concept of working 40 hours a week is killing me, I haven't hung out with someone in years now and I think I'm going crazy just for the off chance of hanging with someone who shares my interests at least slightly. I'm sorry, I'm probably not going to go through with it now, I just realized how embarassing it would be.

>>133555326
I wouldn't look good in it but I don't look good in anything so why not

>>133557848

No bullying intended. The Anon I'm gifting to has the exact same taste as me, which is pretty amazing itself, but he only lives 20 minutes walk away. I was considering including my email address, but I probably wont.

For what its worth, I've met at least 5 /a/nons and they've all been pretty cool. I'm still in contact with them from time to time.

>>133557848
I watched the Madoka movies with an anon so neither of us had to go alone.
... he ended up joining my D&D group.

Not to mention I have one other ss to participate in that I don't have the assignment info yet, there's some Christmas shopping I need to do for the family and I'm saving for a con in January.

Oh well, at least I got into the late cards. If I can fart out money out of nowhere, I'll participate

Unless that's all he sent, in which case there's nothing you can do but assume the worst.

After seeing the collages from the past couple years, I'm noticing people included manga, dvds/bds/usb, posters, and etc.

Starting to wonder if I went too figure heavy for my anon. I got a nendo, a figma, a statue, and something else.

>>133562824
That's all the information I have to choose my presents, so yeah.
I wouldn't even mind if it was 20 good shows, but it's all stuff like SNK and Mirai Nikki

Tusk a shit.

>>133562934
Depends on what there is to get, my recipient doesn't even have any figures or other merchandise to buy for them, so I had to get a little creative.

>>133562934
The joy of Christmas is getting something for your /a/non that you think they would like, and they would not be likely to have/get on their own. I am sure they will love the gift and the thought that went into it!

Just ordered my gifts. I'm going to get raped by the shipping costs and taxes. ;_;
Couldn't use forwarding this time, so I can only pray they will be lenient in customs.

>Checking shipping fees from my country to another
>Costs up to 15euro for 500g package
For what purpose

>>133566123

This is why you don't ship gifts internationally.

>>133566123
>Complaining about less than triple digit shipping fees

>>133566123
Canada isn't much different. It's going to cost me $16-20 to send a package that weights roughly 600g. And shipping within the country isn't much cheaper.

>>133566160
Even if I would want to ship within my country,no other anon applied for /ss/ here.
Atleast its not 40euro,like to USA.

>>133566273

Oh, I'm sorry Anon.

>>133566123
It's around 25€ here cheapest.

For some reason every international parcel up to 2 kilo costs that much

>>133566515
Its alright,atleast I saw my initials pop up earlier,so I wont be grinched.
My country is so small that there are really few /a/ users,and close to 0 for /ss/

Is Dec. 1st a good shipment date if my package has to travel across the entire USA?

>>133567770
Your postal service should have 'cutoff' dates on their website for which they guarantee delivery by Christmas. But yes that should be more than fine.

>Still waiting for a delivery a month ago to leave Japan
I doubt the pack-in items I was going to include with my cards is actually going to arrive in time.

>>133567770
I think that's fine, I'm gonna ship mine on the second weekend of Dec at the latest.

>>133567929

After how many years, 4? Since the first edition, I missed the SS because I was afraid of it. So many damn memories and all of them are now stuck on a single one that I have to forget. It sucks.
I wish I could be here this year again looking at spoiler tags trying to find my initials or just enjoying the company of the anons that are nice with each other during this time of the year, but well I guess it's too late.
I hope next year I can play with everyone again and leave the shit behind, at least for some cards.

I can barely contain my excitement.

I didn't realize my lack of /a/ reaction images until just now. I must rectify this.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't get any blank card stock. I'm sorry.

I started saving a folder of them this summer. There's some kind of autistic fun to be had scrolling through all that shitposting potential.

Oh, I finally came up. Glad to know I'll have at least one card this holiday. Thanks, anon.

>>133586098
Those paper made for drawing blocks should be good enough. It is significantly weaker, but at least not as weak as an A4 paper.

I still want to believe in my assignments since they all seemed like decent people, but what the fuck is wrong with some people out there?

I suppose as long as they're happy it doesn't matter but shit like that really kills the holiday spirit

>>133586344
What's the story here? Anon got sent stuff directly from Amazon without any gift wrap or anything?

Or did some anon just open early and is a whiny ass because they didn't like what they got?

I finally figured out what other gift to get my /ss/ but I need to choose where to buy it from. As much as I dislike TOM I might choose them if they spam my inbox with coupon offers in the next week or two.

So it turned out that despite ultimately deciding against taking part, a friend of mine handled the e-mails and all for me anyways.

So in the end, I won't have any idea about what my wishlist is. I know they have the general gist of my taste though.

>>133586537
Sent direct from Amazon.

>>133586559
A friend of yours signed you up? Why?

>>133586572
I received amazon packages one year but my /ss/ apologized in the little gift note that was included.

>>133586537
First one, but anon was still a whiny ass.

>>133586554
They've been sending me three a day since I tried ordering a plush from them - most of it requires minimum spends, buying specific items, or being in the US. They seem like a store only worth using for items nowhere else would be stocking, but even then they're always sold out of anything good.

I didn't get a reply so I can only assume that semi-lewd stuff is OK.

>>133586188
Paper made for drawing blocks?

>>133586612
Because I couldn't actually bring myself to do it, and the deadline was getting near.

>>133586240
I don't get it, what's so bad about this?

>>133586807
Kill yourself, Nelson

>>133586846
Were people angry he opened the present before Christmas?

>>133586182
I only hope that you'll enjoy it, I'll try my best to draw you something cute even though I'm not very good at art stuff. It's kinda exciting to have gotten the opportunity to chat with an assigned person before they get your card.

It's really just a nice change of pace having something to look forward to this holiday season for once. Thanks for signing up and saving me from what would otherwise have been another holiday season of loneliness.

>>133586707
I have $10 in credits but the item I was going to buy doesn't have free shipping. They happen to be the only site besides amiami that has the nendo I want to buy in new condition but at this point the price would be about the same either way.

People were angry that he invited all his normie friends to come open the gifts and get involved.

It is called a drawing block here, so I am unsure how it is for your side. Its basically about A3 in size, and usually used for drawing in schools.

>>133586970
But the tree says /a/ Toronto and all the decorations his guests added were anime related, they don't seem like normies at all.

>>133587018
Hm. I might have some thick paper like that, though on a smaller size. We'll see what I can find, because I'd really rather not drawing on the inside of a normal christmas card for anon.

How terrible is the price difference ordering your stuff off of Amazon compared to specific sites like that? I don't into buyfagging and I'm sure my bank would throw a hissy fit if they saw international charges like that.
