That tier is how much you will spend on each present.

>>149332415
That would be one present though, if you do the $10-$25 or anything over you have one person you're giving a present to and the rest are cards, if you put $0/Cards though you don't have anyone singled out for gifts, it's just cards for however many you put down for cards.

Is it wrong to send your assignment a sex toy for shits and giggles? I saw this prostate massager at Lover's Package called "The Duke", and the idea of sending that, along with everything else put a smile on my face.

And I wouldn't be include the price of it into the overall assignment gifting.

Yes. If you really wanted to be lewd, you could take a mold of your dick and send your anon a personalized dildo. They way your anon can feel your love, even across the distance that separates you.

At least you only have to do cards. I'm in same situation but with actual gift.

Speaking of cards, when should I ship those? I was thinking mid-November or later so that they don't arrive before December

>>149341564
Just send them as soon as possible.
If you wait too much, maybe they won't arrive before December 25th
>>
>>149340696
Even in the 50-75 bracket you could receive a Nendo. There are pretty expensive one's out there.

>>149341564
I'd say send them around begin-mid December.
Should make it in time.

There are a lot of participants from California.

>>149341652

It's really hard, I always go over the budget.
Got 3 in 25-50 bracket and already spend around €75-100 per gift. One is in the 50-75 bracket and spend around €150.

How do they do it in 10-25? Seems impossible.

I guess the little bit extra will make up for the poor drawings.

Eh, at least you got better. I can only draw angry people, and mostly male characters. Unless I get assigned to a fujo who likes angry dudes, I'll be fucked.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that it works like this for cards too:

My Anon listed Aria too and nothing else

Finding stuff from it that isn't complete series in either manga or BD is suffering.

>>149342918
There's a set of four art books that are really good.
>>
>>149342948
I've been looking around and that seems to be the best option. Unless Mandarake suddenly gets figures added or something.

I have a feeling that I'll go over $50 but that was to be expected

>>149342918
That was probably me, I'm sorry. Forgot to send the updated wishlist.

I'm only asking because I see lots of used stuff on Mandarake and I don't usually buyfag so I don't know what's the proper form.

I got a guy that matches the exact oposite of what i asked for, well shit happens.
Im Sorry anon in afraid it will be hard to live up to your expectations
>>
>>149343380
How does he not fit what you asked for?
>>
>>149343373
Loads of people use mandarake for /ss/.
They usually give a quality rating with the item (A, B, etc.). Anything B or above is usually fine.
>>
>>149343373
Mandarake/Amiami "used" is often pretty hard to tell apart from new. Unless there are parts missing, they probably won't know the difference
>>
>>149343373
If Mandarake is saying it is in good condition, it is. Japs are extremely autistic about judging the quality of second hand stuff.
>>
>>149343406
I went to japan earlier this year and bought a lot of shit to give, so i asked for someone with that taste.

Seriously, put more than 1 item on your wishlist, and try not to ask the god damn impossible.
>>
>>149343373
That's a little different, I would be ok with that. Used items on Mandarake isn't bad. I meant that I don't want an anon's used 2nd hand stuff that he didn't want anymore.

Probably because the anons that are well off already got most of what they really wanted, so they either want specific or surprise me. Poor anons would still have plenty they don't have but want. Taste is a gamble no matter the background, though.

We should make it mandatory to post the initials of your Santa along with the present when the time comes. That way, it'll be easier to search the archives in case you missed a thread.

If you participate next year just ask for only guys with waifus.

Just in general, I don't really understand the complaints with assignments' not liking what you like or having different tastes or threats to grinch if your recipient has "shit taste". Isn't the point of /ss/ to make some random person happy for the holidays

Ah, well you can't do anything about that. It is popular after all.
>>
>>149352562
It's not a matter of the point. For a lot of /a/, it's just not fun thinking of creative ideas for husbandos that you couldn't give a shit about.
It's a simple unavoidable fact of life.

I still try my hardest, but it's just not as fun as the assignments I can relate to.

She's not a fujo then, surely.
>>
>>149352770
Yes definitely, but I feel that I make much better cards if I can put true passion into it. It's not just husbandos - the same goes for shows I dislike. Like I got a DxD request once and it took forever because I couldn't think of anything good.
It's unfortunate but it can't be helped.
>>
Fellow anons in the 25-50 bracket, what are you getting?
>>
>>149352834
It really depends on the scales (their maker, how much they're going for).
Though it doesn't sound bad. I'd maybe add some small shit like a CD or so.

I was going to send my giftee a ransom note with clipped magazine letters and pictures of their waifu from stalkerish angles, threatening them not to inform santaloli or their waifu gets it, with the return address as "The Grinch" in order to build suspense.

I recently acquired a bunch of small purple drawstring bags that I plan to embroider anime characters my anons like on.

Shops for brandnew merch:
CDs: cdjapan
Books: honto.jp, amazon.co.jp
General merch: amiami, amazon.co.jp (only ships some merch internationally)

Shops for used goods:
Books: amazon.co.jp (Used books can be really cheap on amazon, but only some are available for international shipping. Generally, those that have the 'Prime' sign can be shipped internationally.)
Figures: amiami
General merch: mandarake, suruga-ya (no international shipping), Yahoo!Japan Auctions (no international shipping)

If you want to buy from stores that do not ship internationally, you need to use a proxy (buys and ships the item for you) or a forwarder (you buy the item and ship it to him, he ships it to you)
Good and cheap forwarders:
2you4 (does not always undervalue)
jpn-depot
biginjap.com

Good and cheap proxies:
fromjapan (also does bidding for Y!Auctions)
jpn-depot
zenmarket (for Y!Auctions)

If you're in Europe, choose shops that undervalue to prevent having to pay import taxes and further delay due to customs being lazy and slow.
Check buyfag.moe for more details of everything and information of your country about loli importing/undervaluing.

Hello again! We're already in November and time is quickly passing by. Luckily i'm still accepting sign ups for this year's Christmas CD's and right now we have close to 30 so there are plenty of spots still open. Here's all you need to do.

Here's how it works:
>Fill out the form
>list anime, anime OST's or an anime genre you love
>put your name, address and any other info you'll need to list to ensure a successful delivery
That's it. Now that that's taken care of, let the games begin!

Name:
Address (write this in the format that you would put on an envelope):
What kind of songs would you like on your CD?:
Anything else I should know?:


Now this is usually a question I get every year so i'm addressing it now.
>Can I send you something in return?
Yes, you may. I will give out my address to anyone who wants to send me something, though please don't be obligated to do this. I do this every year out my own heart.
>What's the email to send my form to?
[email protected]
>Are these CD's free?
Of course, baka!

That's all. Thanks for reading and have another great holiday season!

Does anyone here have an anon from MT?
>>

I'd try to add text or things (textures, symbols, patterns, etc.) that complements the character(s) on the card in an interesting and creative way.
In other words, do your best as a graphic designer anon!

I basically put like posters, plushes, keychains, etc. basically anything that won't just sit and rot unused, cause I'd feel bad and it'd be no fun for either party involved

There's a distinct point where someone dropping out goes from "less work for me" to "oh god fucking why" and we passed that like four days ago.

It is better that they write "sorry I can't get my recipient a gift please cut me out" than get a present while grinching someone.

How did you guess
>>
>>149359488
they've already been grinched, instead of making the hosts wrack their brains looking for people who can pick up slack at the last minute make the people who pulled this get it through their heads that there is no 'dropping out' after the cut-off point
>>
To other people in the 150+ bracket, how much are you planning on spending?

I was going to spend around 170 but am worried my assignee will have spent way more and feel short changed.
>>
>>149359365
I really hope those two people didn't get Santas that already bought stuff for them. That'd be pretty shitty, especially for the upper brackets. Sorry that you have to go through all of this Santa, I'll be sure to send you a thank you for hosting if you end up opening that PO box you've mentioned.
>>
>>149359488
It's not so bad I haven't already emailed the person assigned to them. It's not that difficult to fix the chain. The problem occurs when people actually buy their gifts for the person who dropped before they drop. Then I have to scramble to find another wishlist in that bracket, with the same shipping, that hasn't already been assigned, and that fits what's been bought. This of course gets harder the longer you wait.

>>149359695
>>149359488
I do blacklist these people.
>>
>>149359488
>>149359365
Not sure if it would be a good idea to contact their grinchees and tell them they're getting one gift less than expected this year, so they don't wait by mailbox until Christmas day for a parcel that will never come
>>
I'm sorry everyone

I signed up for 5 gifts and 10 cards and made an update just a few days ago, and probably single-handedly caused the delay
>>
Already went way above all my brackets, but I guess I was sort of planning on that to begin with.

>>149351755
A dick card sounds pretty cool to me.
>>
>>149359439
Airmail is far faster than SAL and I think more reliable on timing. Sometimes I've received airmail within four days, which is faster than EMS since those always get held up by ParcelForce whether there's customs or not.

I can't say I've used it enough to know anything about items getting lost or damaged though - never happened to me anyway.
>>
>>149359785
On the subject of whitelisting, are there some emails you recognized and didn't need to confirm? I never got anything regarding a whitelist for 150+
>>
>>149359734

I've always gone way over budget every year, but I've never felt shortchanged when my Santas stuck to their budget.
I knew what I was signing up for. If I wanted loads of presents I would have signed up for a higher bracket.
If they complain when you stick to the bracket when they overspent, then it's their own fault for being fucking morons.
>>
>>149359793
Don't worry about it anon, you're fine. It's people who drop once they get their assignments who are the cancer.

>while you have been refreshing your inbox constantly for over a week in anticipation of spoiling your anons
>>
>>149359790
It actually doesn't guarentee that they'll be grinched. Particularly if I can fix it fast enough.
Imagine if A->B->C->D.....Z->A is the chain.
If B drops, and A hasn't bought anything yet, I can give C's wishlist to A and it still works out.

Alright now that I'm home, and have resolved most of the crises in the email, I can start sending assignments again.
If you send an email asking for more info about your giftee/cardees and don't get a response, don't worry, I've been tagging those, and will address them when assignments are done.


>>149359894
Yeah, if you participated last year, I had a full database of emails, and the chart from the year before which had 90% of the emails from those. As long as you were on either of those and not on the blacklist, I could confirm you without any problems. You only had to confirm if I couldn't find you easily.

To be fair hosts didn't let us know multiple gifts was a problem, I mean you might have assumed less might have speed things along a little, but they only just let us now that if you have multiple gifts or cards to limit them, they just need to be sure to make people know next time.
>>
>>149360179
bassically, if we have over 500 people we should limit the amount of gifts cards you can sign up for, if we get less then it's probably not a big deal but it's probably going to stay around 500 from now on
>>
>>149360179
In the future, there shouldn't be multiple gifts at all, because for the sender it doesn't feel good to just be one of several gifts your assignment receives. If people want to send more they can sign up for anti-grinching.
>>
>>149360030

Gomenasai for taking so long to write you back. I was indecisive on my wishlist and such, and you asking for one for a card kinda pushed your letter back to whenever I sent my application in, which was on the last day.
That, and I ended up making another small thing I wanted to send with it, but I need to be very careful with my funds right now and don't have the money to ship it.

Rest assured, I haven't forgotten, and your letter will be sent out soon™
>>
Last night was so much fun. Spent the night on Mandy. I also got to buy my first Laserdisc. That should be cool to see in hand before wrapping it up.

Two of my card Anons have the same waifu. I feel like I need to make them fight to the death or something. Also, one of my cards is actually the guy I sent a gift in 2014, so that's cool.

Two anons are going to be so happy.

Now really, for people who did it before, how long does it take for a card to arrive at any place coming from, let's say, Brazil, the country with the absolute worst postal service in the world?

I'm not sure if I'm going to draw directly on like that or if I'll go with sketchbook paper glued onto construction paper like last year.

I'm also debating drawing my cards digitally, but I'm undecided. I'm still going to do the early sketchwork physically at least.

It's my first year participating and I signed up for only 5 cards so I will go all out.

We are allowed to send some sweets, too, right?
