That costs so much.

It'd be cheaper to send as a piece of First-Class Large Envelope letter which has tracking for like $2.

>>134007896
In my country normal letter (with priority at max etc.) costs about 1.25$.
Registered letter costs 5$ so if I have to send ten cards I prefer not spending 50$ on it.

>still only have 2 of 4 cards done
I should probably start on this

I'm in the exact same situation. I'm averaging about 3 hours per card, not necessarily because they're complex, but I'm just a really slow artist.

Should've finished my present sooner.

>>134007896
I went to the post office yesterday and sent out 9 cards, UPS is closed today though and might not get to ship out my box for awhile, so it's just sitting for now

I need to get wood burning this weekend to finish up my craftables

I had been checking my email for my secret santa information for weeks and I just somehow managed to see it now. I REALLY hope I can get my gifts and cards out in time.

>>134011259
Hey jebus, your card came the other day last years card as well

I liked the songs a lot, some of them I listen to often others I wasn't used to. Good mix.

Make the treats with half having coconut and the other half not and mark the bags.

With the company I work with, I can ship for free with UPS. My SS has a PO box, which requires the recipients phone number to ship!
Now I have to pay extra for a really heavy box!
I wonder if next year I can request "no PO box"?

>>134013161
Wait since when does a PO box require a phone number to ship? I sent one last year without issue.

Now I am worried because my anon didnt even use a PO box, just a postal store that probably has some dumb rules

>>134013472
That's only for UPS. With FedEx, I can put my own number, that's how I'm going to ship this year.

>>134013441
My lack of artistic ability makes me question why I even bother to do this every year.

Would be happy to get that one

>Things I'm adding to my cards arrived
They even included some ピカチュウガム to it, which is always a fun addition. And I accidentally bought a variant perfect for an /a/ secret santa, which is also nice.

Got caught in a messup on Spoonsanta's part so I'm just making gifts for friends.

Ordered this tshirt for a friend of mine.

Gifts just wrapped and ready.

My main gift has arrived, I'll probably send it out within a week once I have other things finished up.

JM from Canada your card is done will be sent to you tomorrow. It isn't much but I hope you like it.

3 weeks and my figure has not yet arrived. God damnit, Mandarake. How long does this usually take? I never ordered something before but my Santa wanted a figure.

>>134016391
Anywhere from 1 week to 2 months with RSAL, from my experience. Last package took a month.

>>134016415
Well then I hope it arrives rather soon. If they take another 5 weeks then Christmas will be over before the figure even gets here. And it still has to travel to my Santa too.

You might could deliver it general delivery to them? I mean, if it's a PO box then they would have to go to the post office to pick it up anyway.

I haven't tried that however.

I hope BP from FL likes getting a Daki in the 10-25$ range, of their husbando of course.

Will an /a/non appreciate the tsundere tone of writing them a scathing letter about their shit taste if the gift includes what they wanted? Or will they read it, cry and hang themselves on Christmas?

>>134023280
I think I would enjoy such a thing. I would hope nobody on here would hang themselves over such a thing.

>>134023280
If they can't handle people telling them their taste is shit, they shoudln't be here.

>tfw you finally sit down to do your remaining cards and someone hands you a puff pastry

I should really use those sticky notes which are taking up space.

I'll probably finish them by Dec. 1st.

If Poland got their CD a week and a half after shipment, you're bound to get yours soon.

My cards will go out this Saturday.

So I just realized that I have shit for colored pencils/crayons. I guess I'll have to just whip out Photoshop and my printer. I request that people post cards from previous years, so that I might get inspiration from them.

This...is a nice feeling. I'm glad I signed up for this. Now all that's left is to be grinched by all five of my secret Santas

Someone sent me that great yandere card couple years ago. On the off chance you read these thread I just wanted to say thanks again. I was too late to participate this year but there's always next year.

Oh God is it too late. Mine are all international. I haven't even started my cards yet. I don't even know what to draw. I need to get some wrapping paper and chocolate too, and find a box, and bubblewrap too, I hope everything will fit. Does it take longer to ship parcels compared to letters? My cards will probably count as parcels because there's chocolate inside. I hope I have enough money for shipping, I almost drained my account because of the gifts I bought.

3/4 cards done. One more, and I'll hopefully send them next week.

For Everyone Worried About Initials Being Posted:

You are not required to post your giftee's initials

Some people like to do it, SOME.

Many just focus on the gifts, you just don't see them, so it seems like they don't exist

They do

There are about 450 people in this SS, a majority of people have not been mentioned with initials

Bart, I finished your card, will send out tomorrow. Surely, surely there is only one bart posting in these threads. Surely.

>>134044544

>>134044623
Are you talking to me?

>>134044706
No, my assignment is also named Bort.

Your gifts are in the mail, wrapped. They're coming from a /k/ommando; you should be able to tell by the return address. Should be there the 30th of this month

Your cards are coming first class; they should be there by next week.

Feels gud. Now to wait on the inevitable fallout as I get grinched

Is it too late to get in on this?
It's probably way too late isn't it?

Not at all, you're 10 months too early.

I'm not even /k/ommando, but you can't even begin to realize how mad I was when I realized that I ran out of my wrapping paper with rifle schematics last year and I had no way to get more.

That's what I thought. Maybe next year.

SC from CT I went a little overboard this year. Still waiting for a couple of things in the mail, but if it becomes too late I'll just send what I have now and send a second package later.

Just waiting for late card assignments now.

Jebus, IL femanon here, I got your CD- thanks a lot! It was fun to listen to while driving home for Thanksgiving. Expect a thank you card in the mail some time soon. Looking forward to next year. Are you going to do something similar for V/a/lentines day?

>>134045577
Hasn't the sign up for that closed as well?

Feeling the holiday CHEER

>>134030386
I'm with you, /a/non. I gotta get this shit done this weekend or I'm fucked.

>>134045356
I just call myself a /k/ommando because I'm military. Is that wrong?

>>134036415
>>134036642
I don't understand how this is an issue. How do you control for something like that? You can't.

Imagine finding out your friend is an anon through /ss/.

>being a late gifter
Jeez these threads make me feel uncomfortable. At least I don't have to worry about arriving on time. I should probably get to work with the card too.

>>134048466
First I have to imagine a friend.

>>134048466
I got someone I already had three years ago last year, so I asked to switch. If someone notices that they got their friend, surely they'd do the same? I like the idea that your /ss/ is someone you don't know.
I still ended up sending the guy I switched a card, though.

>want to make some fag on /a/ happy
>it turns out my anon hasn't received a Christmas gift ever
If it's really true google maps pretty much confirmed it makes this whole thing worth it.

>>134048466
The idea of it just feels wrong.
Why not just give each other presents if you're already cringey fuckbuddies? To me this isn't about showing off goofy funny internet gifts to friends. This event is me giving gifts to friends.

>>134036642
How does that make him a normalfag? The lengths you people go to misconstrue some of these terms, fucking hell.

>>134048711
>This event is me giving gifts to friends.

Yeah, which is literally what he just described.

>>134048725
Having friends seems like a sensible distinction. "I WATCH ANIME I'M SO QUIRKY" is a pretty stupid one. Have you seen pictures of the types that go to conventions? Exactly.

>lookup my assignment's address brings a Hispanic name
>the name to send to was actually a girl's name, a white one at that

I'm not sure what to think.

>>134048913
She got thrown out by illegals.

>>134048830
>Having friends seems like a sensible distinction.

You are disillusioned to the point where it's almost unbelievable. The only reason he brought it up is in relation to /ss/ in the first place. Next you'll tell me no one on /a/ actually has friend(s) because they don't actively talk about them. Cue the greentext responses to fit in.

>>134049007
I don't have friends. Why do you think I do this?
Every real friend someone has is one less reason to participate in this.

Thanks a lot to my card recipient for changing your address so late, I already sent the card and wasted so much effort for nothing.

>>134049097
Stop projecting. Since when has /a/ culture revolved around who can and can't participate and for what reasons? The only people you should be concerned about are crossboarders or people off-site.

>>134049185
>The only people you should be concerned about are crossboarders or people off-site.
Most people go to more than one board...

>>134049381
You're welcome to fuck off with your low quality bait.

>>134049381
>...
Speak for yourself.

TB from Michigan I am going to be sending your package out Monday

>>134049414
Not bait: Lion's share of people from even /a/ go to more than one board. How else do you think the references from one board spread?

>>134049655
I don't doubt that but the way it was phrased sounded like you were fishing for replies.

Another reason why /ss/ attempts at dissuading crossboarders from participating never works. Anons have this bizarre perception that only the people that fit in their narrow criteria actually participate besides the grinches when that's rarely the case.

>>134048913
They could be renting.

>>134049714
Eh, I guess it did kind of sound like bait: Apologies for that.

>going through and taking seriously a thread not in late December.

Obviously you've only done this for a year or two.

>>134048632
I was like that before I started participating in /ss/. This time of year never meant anything to me until a few years ago, now it's my favorite.

What the fuck happened to this manga

>>134050458
Lives in a place which
1.: doesn't celebrate Christmas
2.: looks pretty poor

>>134050458
Probably because he lives in a location that doesn't celebrate Christmas or his house looks like a shithole.

>>134050390
I've been doing this since 2011.

>>134050505
I see, probably feels great to gift someone like that.

Your cards are done and will be sent out tomorrow.

>>134039581
Glad it arrived safely!
I'm ashamed of my complete lack of artistic talent, I hope it doesn't negatively impact your Christmas. I tried to make up for it in the only way I know how.

Please tell me a bunch of US anons are sending their cards in those USPS priority mail envelopes, too. It feels weird since there's so much extra space in them.

JMof Slovakia

You'll be getting your gifts shortly before christmas. If the postal office didn't lie to me.

>>134054090
In that case you could always just stick some candy in there (though don't do that if you don't have enough postage to get it to the destination with extra weight)

I sent out my cards earlier this week for:
LR of Ontario
MR of Finland
AG of Portugal

You should expect to get them within the second week of December.

Fuck, I'll throw in some new year cards as well since they're going to be late, sorry guys.

Don't worry too much, there's some card exchanges that haven't even put assignments out yet. My country's cut off dates for international mail are like 6th Dec and 12th Dec depending on the region, planning to get them out on the 4th.

Is it rude to hotglue the present you receive?

Thank you thread for actually giving me motivation to work on my cards. Now my desk is covered with tiny scraps of paper.

I like to think I'm not the only one procrastinating on cards this Thanksgiving weekend.

>>134063602
It's like one of our family traditions to give vegemite to anyone that's overseas. Whenever my parents travel overseas for business they bring a heap of it with them to gift to whoever they meet.
Why? Because Vegemite is fucking amazing, and foreigners relations to it is just as amazing.

I'm going to ruin this by mentioning vegemite paste made by mixing with butter/butter-like substances, usually with more butter than vegemite. Shit spreads far more evenly if pre-mixed so you don't get too much caught in air bubbles in the bread/cracker.

Also add cheese. If they still hate it after that they're faggots.

Gonna just remind all of you that if you have recipients in Finland, sending your gifts as early as possible might be a good idea, since there's a strike going on right now.

Not sure if my gifts will reach in time because of that either.

>>134064955
They might not live at the same address. College kids especially move around a lot.

The biggest AmiAmi box I have is too small for my anon's gifts. I have another smaller AmiAmi box that I could use as well to ship the gifts in two separate boxes. Would it be better to do that, or to just buy a bigger box at the post office and send it all in one?

Work out the cost difference. Probably cheaper to send in 1 big box.

Most of your items are here, just waiting on one more. then it's just a matter of shipping them to you. hopefully they'll get there before you leave. If not I'll send them before you get back. Rest assured you will not be grinched.

I started drawing something on scrap paper and ended up with something better than what I've done on the proper cardstock. Think anon would mind their card just being a postcard or having irrelevant doodles on it?

I doodled on my post cards

I wish I could join that kind of stuff ;_;
