its technically the weekend for me

tfw have all my items delivered and a duplicate for myself

>>149391275
Waited until today to order stuff so I could make sure I was getting things that seemed like good gifts instead of just whatever I found first.

It's been hard thinking about these things over this whole week, but i think my assignments will like them.

Now i just need to get them shipped and buy some wrapping paper.

I don't mind the waiting, but I hope my Santa isn't asking for anything that might require SAL shipping first. It's way too late for that now.

>>149392321
I had to pass on a few items that would have been great but only ship SAL. Oh well, I'm pretty happy with what I got. It's still a very torn feeling, isn't it?

>>149391072
>editing a card base

FUCK.

Also waiting for some responses from organizers before actually buying gifts.

They're still sending out the assigments, and that naturally is the highest priority.

Still don't have my assignments, but I guess I'll go shopping for generic card supplies and goodies today.

Has anyone been assigned JB from ohio yet?

zalgo-kun from CA, please update your list before I bite the bullet and complete the order I have on hold at cdJapan

MW from Canada, shopping has begun for your gifts. Get ready.

I feel your pain in having a waifu without much/any merch.

Just wanted to let SH from FL know you've got a santa and I've already bought nearly all your stuff. I hope you'll like it!

To RN from CA a majority of your gift has been ordered and on its way to a forwarding service.

If you're here, since the address you listed is a P.O. box or something how quickly would you be able to know that something has been delivered to you? If I were to send a perishable baked good would it be go bad before you were to get it?

So my assignment just put "please don't buy me a gift, i don't want anything, just wanted to buy someone else something."
What do I do?

Send him something really cheap or handmade, or just a card I guess.

Send him your love for being such a cool guy.

>>149394886
Send him love cookies.
Or maybe he lives with his parents and don't know how to explain where those gifts come from, so... if he said so, better not send things to the poor boy.

>>149394924
Yeah, at least send the guy a card, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

This will be the day we've waited for.

I finally got mine and got the worst assignment I've ever had. List is fucking long, it actually takes the fun out of it and now it feels like a fucking task.

And here I though getting a fellow buyfag would be fun.

Anyway, once I finish studying this list and nitpicking it, get prepared to be notgrinched, anon cus I still love you and have to deal with it

Got initials posted twice, one asked about baked goods so I'm assuming that's my giftee.

/ss/ is not only a nice /a/ tradition, you also learn valuable lessons from foreign countries! For instance, today I learned that Ireland's postal system makes no sense. Do you guys really don't use street/home numbers, or did my anon just forget them? Also, there is apparently a place called Cum there. JB, I shall try to find you something nice!

>>149395993
>Do you guys really don't use street/home numbers, or did my anon just forget them?
Depends, if you're not in a city or large town you probably don't have a house number. It's grand like, the post people know you.

>>149395993
Also I didn't believe you about the town name so I googled it and now I'm having myself a sensible chuckle.
Of course it's in Mayo

>>149395357
I'm sorry.

Most have been but they're not all sent out at once. You should get yours soon, I bet. I just got mine a few hours ago.

Are model kits alright with people? They're pretty fun, but I feel as if I'm sending someone a chore.

Maybe something small as a side gift like an SD gundam to get people into the plastic crack.

>>149396263
I like them, but i understand not everyone likes them.

>>149396263
Depends on the level. Something like a HG Gundam, anyone could snap together with a nail clipper and utility knife at worst. Those candy toy plamo for stuff like sentai and transformers would probably be fine too. I'd hesitate to give a MG kit unless they said they're into them though.

>>149397563
You're unlucky enough to have me as your ss ;_;

>>149397713
I'm worried about this too actually, my giftee's wishlist implied that he's getting stuff from more than one ss and I really hope I don't end up getting him a duplicate, especially since he was pretty specific about what he wanted.

Somehow out of hundreds of other possible assigns, I get the same person as last year for one of my cards. Gonna have to step up my creative game after blowing all the good ideas on last years card.

You had quite the mal list. This is your last chance to make any suggestions for shows if there are any you really favor over another, other wise I'm going to pick from stuff I'm familiar with from your 10's & 9's.

If you do make cutout stuff, make sure to use sharp cutting tools. A pair of old everyday use scissors will not cut as cleanly as a fresh exacto blade. This goes for anyone doing cut and paste crafts.

Thanks for the tip.

I wonder if there's some way to do this with cryptography or something that would remove the dependency on a single trusted third party.

>>149400486
People would fuck it up. I don't see any other way. They do a good enough job.

Ideally, cryptographic protocols make it mathematically impossible to fuck things up.

Is it safe to use SAL right now? It says 2-3 weeks but I dont know if it will get here in time

I have always lived in CA so everything from Japan came fast, but this is the first year I am doing it from NC and I dont know how much longer it takes

Yeah SAL is okay at this point in time.

I was kinda sad going tru my assingment but now im so fucking pumped with creativity, i hope he likes it.

>>149401293
Able to easily check out yourself (they take credit/debit cards and PayPal) and use a forwarding service. Used items are generally near perfect condition, but don’t be surprised if keychains come without their outermost packaging or batteries are missing from the clock. Actually used goods are marked Rank B (roughly equivalent to AmiAmi Rank C). Cheaper than their Rakuten storefront. Free domestic shipping starts at 1500 yen, constant time sales and combo sales (buy 5 items of same category to get 5% off, etc). They ship everything in huge boxes so take that into consideration. Here is a guide for using BiJ with Suruga-ya.

Does Nippon Yassan put everything into one box on orders with 4+ items? I want to just re use the box it comes in to ship it after I wrap everything up

I was considering buying my card recipients some cheap presents to go along with their cards, but it is very hard to find anything that is not pre-order or sold out. I feel sorry for people in the low tier that actually have a commitment to hunting something down. However, I did buy some supplies to make some extras since I failed at shopping. SantaLoli blessed me with anons with good taste, so I am looking forward to making things for them.

While doing some research on gifts tonight I feel it's a good idea to remind people to be weary of domestic Amazon delivery times if you do choose to use that. Don't just click and order. I went through 10 items and there are numerous options with expected delivery dates from early December to January because the item actually ships from Japan. Free shipping usually implies a low end SAL.

I'm curious, do previous participants get disappointed with their /ss/ and not even mention them when the time comes?

Great taste.

>>149402933
I'm gifting all of them. I won't guarantee they'll be on time, unfortunately, though. This year, my hands are bit more full than I anticipated all of sudden. I gave up doing cards and is just going to focus on gifts.

Last year I did 7 cards and 4 gifts. I already bought some stuff in preparation of Secret Santa ahead of time and hopefully, I can make interesting surprise boxes.

>>149402969
Some people do get grinched. And then, there are few that has internet and has no camera.

Don't ask how it works.

I'd say a fujoshit is a girl who near-exclusively likes blatantly homoerotic shit or shit that is commonly construed as homoerotic by Tumblr. I mean I hope people aren't just using the term to refer to all girls who like anime, anyway.

I signed up for the $25-50 category, but I think I'll probably end up spending more than that since I don't have anyone else to buy presents for (besides my mom and dad and brother). So I guess whoever I match with better feel lucky!

I have to keep reminding myself that my bracket is in freedom dollar and not loonies. It used to be on par, but now I'm basically spending a third extra.

No specifics about what shows they like the most, who their waifu/husbando are, or favorite characters.

I don't get it, why don't you have your own bank account? Your wife isn't a part of /ss/, you should not be pulling from a shared account. That's very disrespectful of her and her trust in you. /ss/ is personal entertainment, you should be spending your own money in this.

I was going to guess maybe you share an account because you have a freeloader wife, but since you've said that she's been fired, then she would've been contributing to the account as well and have her own private account on the side, unless she's so blind to trust you with all of her paychecks.

My "taste" is pretty entry level, genuinely terrified of being grinched because of it.

>>149405604
I made mine so damn specific that I'm also in fear.

Yeah, should have bought a little girls' magazine for the freebie stickers. Glittery horses and kittens or nothing, Anon.

>>149403872
I think this happens a lot when Anons have to be somewhere for Christmas. Confirming it arrived safe is priority, visiting family carries many distractions and few opportunities to take private photos.

My parents always had a joint then individual accounts. The food shopping and mortgage came from the joint. My dad has always been too tsundere to order food or buy groceries himself, but by god would he eat it all.

It's overly complicated to have two separate bank accounts. Considering it's a lot of effort to transfer money back and forth to pay bills, borrow money or make finical decisions it's just easier to have one shared bank account. If you're spending money on dodgy shit that you have to hide from your spouse, you shouldn't be married in the first place.

She's part of a different /ss/. Why do you think she got fired?

>>149405501
It's common to have a joint account for expenses shared by the couple, like mortgage & groceries, but most people also retain a private account for privacy and personal needs.

>>149405571
There's also the danger of what-if the joint account is the ONLY real account you have (or put money into). Joint means the other party has the power to close it up and run off with all of the money at any time. Of course in a reasonable court you'd recoup something, but you'd lose so much in the meanwhile.

Fucking Califags, I get excited every time I see CA, and then it turns out it's another anon.

>>149405761
My parents have always had separate accounts and I don't know any double-income couples who do have a joint account (not that I'd be asking around, I guess) and it's always just seemed to work well, so I guess from my perspective I just don't really see why you need one account when you've got two separate incomes, it just sort of seems like it would make things messy and cause silly fights about spending "our" money. It's not at all hard to split bills and stuff like that, or even to alternate from month to month. Maybe I just think like that because every time I hear about joint bank accounts it's on Judge Judy, though. I get it for stuff like mortgages and groceries, I suppose.

>>149405889
same with AZ, and it sucks cause AZ is less common so every one that isn't me really hurts

Am I getting grinched?

>>149405233
Anon, his wife got fired, meaning their finances will be a little tight. He shouldn't be blowing 200 bucks on internet pals that he's never met before and saving money like a mother fucker.
It's perplexing why you're ragging on his wife for no apparent reason.

>>149405939
No but you might get lynched.

>>149405761
>It's overly complicated
Not really. In a very simple case, you can have your Savings account, personal Checkings account, and a join account that you put an agreed-upon amount of money in each month with your partner, pulled from your own savings or checkings. It's just one more account to put money into and the point of it is the simplify money transfers so that you're not spending every month wondering who owes who how much.

>If you're spending money on dodgy shit that you have to hide from your spouse
This is a variation of the CCTV "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" argument and a very dangerous one to obey

Did anyone here get an anon from MT?

>>149405951
I believe he's actually scolding anon for being disrespectful to his wife.

So what's going to be more awkward, giving anon his present in person or calling the EMS guy to deliver a package to a place 20 minutes away from me?

You should take a bus to a nearby city and post it there to avoid awkwardness
