I think I posted my cards too early. I expect my anons have got them by now, and people will laugh at my shit drawings. Even if I put more time into them, they wouldn't be any less shit, so I thought I'd just post them anyway.

But it looks like I put no effort in even though I spent about 3 hours on each one.

Finally, waited all the week just for this thread.
JM from Canada I already sent you a card and some gifts. Everything was sent last thursday, so now everything depends on how many time it takes to something from Europe to arrive to your country.

Also, BW from the U.K. I have to send you too a card and some gifts, but still waiting to one of them to arrive to my local nerd store, I hope I can send everything next week.

That is all for the week, also Thanks for making America great again faggots

What it's to late by the time you send them and your anons doesn't recieve their cards on christmas? You wouldn't make anons around the world cry, would you?

I hate my life. And postal service. I wanted to get them this weekend so I could wrap them up all nice and pretty while waiting for remaining things.

On a more happier note, at least I finished my cards, except for the one I'll include with the gift. I just don't know what to write in them. I also feel that it's way early to actually ship those.

Maybe I just wait for next weekend

Two of the ten items in there are doujins of Horo/Holo with big fat wolf tats, so I know I'm not fucked in the 'underage' department. Should be legal, right?

So, Paypal's been out of commission for a while now, can't send a payment for the stuff.
I sure hope that gets better soon.

PLEASE LET MY INITIALS BE POSTED THIS WEEKEND

>>149907871
It'll be fine, then.
I guess.

>>149907899
One time, my mother caught a non-lewd card sent to me and she still looked at me like it was something wrong. Not sure what she'd say if she opens the mail and there's a card with a japanese cartoon girl showing her panties.

>>149908033
If your parents don't understand pantyshots, they just need more holiday spirit. Lewds are an integral part of any Christmas celebration.

You could post them yourself. Bonus if someone has those initials.
I meant to post initials this thread, but issues came up, and I have nothing to tell them, so it'll have to wait.

Part of me wants to contacts ZP of CO and ask him to be a little more specific, but another part of me wants to just go for it and hope he likes what he gets.

I found a store near my house that sells otaku stuff so I'm going to check it out tomorrow. Otherwise I'll just buy some stuff online and ship it to him and then send a card.

>>149908698
I think you're mixing real life with Futurama

>>149908842
Several anons said that they have no intention on posting initials, you could be one of those who are never going to be mentioned.

>>149908972

You buy, get it shipped to you, put in some sweets, a card, and some love and THEN, and ONLY THEN, send it off. Anything less is just laziness. Feel free to add more, but this is seen as bare minimum.

>>149909261
They mean that you buy the things, things arrive to your house, you put some nice paper gift on them and then send the things to your anon. That's the process.

Well I was going to send a package from me with various things and a card, and then maybe order something online if I can't find what I want in stores. I was thinking of having it shipped to me first but I was worried about how long it would take. I guess I can just tell him online if it's going to be late or something.

>>149909357
Where do you guys get your sweets/candy online? I live in a pretty rural area so there's nothing I could buy in person that my assignment wouldn't be able to get at any typical local shop/store.

>>149909964
Just be sure to send your gifts before december 1st, either way they won't arrive on time. Send them even before if you signed for inernational.

>>149909512
If you're in a different country, local is fine. If not, I'm sure an anon would appreciate some decent candy even if they can get it themselves, its the gesture that counts

There's people worried because their initials aren't being posted, but I'm worried because my assigned anons didn't say a thing, even if I've been posting their initials in every thread since almost three weeks. I-I want them to notice me...

>>149909655
My assignment shouldn't have to suffer for my foolishness

>>149910448
As someone who's seen their initials 2-3 times and said nothing. I just don't wanna start a small conversation that might lead to me getting spoilered about what I'm getting. I'm too paranoid.

FH of WA

So it looks like the first part of your gift has already been delivered. The stuff from abroad is in the country now, so it hopefully shouldn't take too much longer to arrive. And I'm planning on sending one more package tomorrow with a very, very, very special present inside. You deserve it!

Sorry in advance I couldn't bundle it together myself. Go ahead and open them as you get them or wait until they all arrive (SHOULD be 3 in total), your choice.

Also, Jebus, I'm sending out your slam jams tomorrow, too.

>>149910714
In any case, it's the nips fault, not yours. Your anon will understand.

>>149910881
I talked to the anons who got me as an assignment and I still have no idea what are they going to send, but I understand you.

>>149911308
All of us will eventually draw better, it's a matter of time. I hope.

>1 out of 5 packages arrived
>no tracking on the other 4, and 2 of them are from China so I can't even guess how long it'll take since I have no experience with chink shit
Fucking hell, I'm worried as fuck that it won't arrive on time.

>>149911649
In any case, I'd say you should recieve everything in less than two weeks if everything goes right.

Yea I know everyone gets better. I've gotten much better from when I started. Sometimes I wish that I could just draw better, so that I can draw lewds of my waifu that only I have. Kinda inpatient. I don't have many skill points in art right now. But maybe someday.

>>149912055
It's all about practice, as people always say. I'm the laziest man on Earth, and even I ended up drawing better after years of very little practice every week.

Bought all the presents for one Anon and I need to find one more present for my other Anon. I've overspent like double the bracket I was in but I found some figures that I think they'll love. Should have gone for a higher bracket, oh well.

>>149912291
I thought about that this year, but if I went into a higher bracket I still would have overspent even more.

So I have a dilemma there's this Kiss Shot Prize fig and there's this madoka x monogatari fig I can only get one cuz I'm poor which one should I get for my /ss/ the prize would be perfect with the theme I want but the madoka one looks dope in an alt art way.

You are allowed to spend more. I signed up for the $25-50 bracket but I expect to spend closer to $100 when all is said and done.

Custom wrapping paper came in and could not be more perfect - super excited to get to wrapping these up.

PS from AZ, your gifts are all ordered, and should be arriving here to be wrapped during next week!

J from AZ, same situation - got your stuff all picked out and ordered, just need to wrap it up once it gets here!

Going to test out some cookie recipes this weekend, get a couple practice batches in to make sure I don't screw up the ones going out with the gifts.

Made a couple practice sketches at drawing cards, and man... this shit is hard. Just glad I've still got time to figure out how I want them to look.

Sorry guys, I used up all the Christmas miracle power this year.

If anyone has RB from TX I would appreciate sending your card a little early, because I won't be at the provided address from around 12/15 to 1/5, meaning if I don't get the card by around the 15th I won't be able to open it until well after Christmas, which would be a bummer for everyone involved.

Make a doll

Or maybe a scarf, or a quilt (though these are insanely expensive to make), or a game, or fun website (maybe like the one yui claus posts), or a recreation of a scene in an anime (like hand in box from Chaos;head) or recreating a crime scene or something. There are plenty of creative choices out there.

For non-native english speakers, do you send your fellow anons a card in english or in your first language ?

Yes you can. It may not be art, but you can draw.

I guess i phrased my question wrong, assume they speak same language as you do.

My gift came earlier this week. Just got to make a nice card and some cookies and I'll be all set.
Considering I don't have any artistic talent I'm stuck on what to do with the card. It's my first year doing this so I want to make my gift as good as I can.

I swear the most difficult part was not coloring, but finding the right words to write in the cards. Goddamn it, I'm not satisfied with what I wrote, but then again, I have subclinical OCD.

Cards are going to be shipped first thing Monday.
Grandpa is very interested in seeing them posted from the around the world, he's almost as restless as I am.

I posted your initials a few weeks ago, don't worry I got you covered.

I'll probably only get back home in mid-December and I'm still waiting on one of the gifts anyway, so you'll get it after.

I'll be throwing in some stuff of my people to pad it out a bit, got anything you don't like food/sweets wise?

If you guys end up missing a gift/card, maybe I died. Sorry.

>>149923512
There's nothing to think about because they're dead and they recipients will think they were grinched.

>>149923574
But I wouldn't want them to be mad at me, even though I'm dead. I'm an idiot, not a jerk.

>>149923679
So don't die.

>>149923512
I had the same thought last night when I noticed the air freshener can had a warning label that said 'instant death', how instant, how? Then I thought about whether people would be angry or just inconvenienced. Ultimately people continue on when there's no follow up to piss them off. Can't shitpost from the grave.

It's more likely to receive an apologetic letter saying they had to move on short notice or something and won't have a full gift until January.

KS from MD, you asked for handmade stuff instead of a Christmas card, due to money constraints and lack of talent I won't be able to do it. I'm really sorry, I hope you at least enjoy a card.

Yes, finally, I got all the gifts I've order ready to send out, and enough paper stuffing to make sure it all makes is safely to my giftee. Now I just need to wait till Monday, when I get paid, to sent it out.

This is going to be much cheaper to send out this year, compared to last year when I had a assignment from Australia. That was well over $120 to send out. This year, if I did my math right, it's just going to be shy of $75 (shipping international is a pain sometimes).

>>149931249

You know, not all anons doing this post their assignments initials. All because they really want it adhere to the whole "secret" part of a Secret Santa.

Well my packages tend to be 10 lbs or more. Also, when I sent the package to Australia last year, I paid the high tier to make sure it showed up on time and all. Also for some better insurance encase anything happened to any of the presents inside. This year I'm just going with the standard rate as it's just continental and not over seas.

>>149931348

If you're curious, pic related is what that is. I had it custom made years ago for shits and giggles.

>>149931448
>>149931505
>>149931533
Well, in all honesty, the things I sent were like 150 g, much less than 1 kg. That's why the ship was so cheap for me.

>>149931466
I did exactly the same, and I ended up spending almost 100 euros on presents. Next year I'll choose a higher bracket.

>>149931505
Shipping within the EU isn't really that bad, cost me £50 to send a reasonably small box to Israel.

>>149931694

>>149931694

>EU

I just got hit by a wave of regret for getting an A2 poster book that weighs over a kilo and is fucking gigantic and I don't have a big enough box to fit it and the other things into and it's gonna cost an arm and a leg to ship

But I think I'll get over it.

>>149931794
Didn't write that properly, I meant to say shipping within the EU in my experience has been relatively inexpensive but shipping outside it has been pretty expensive like when one of my previous assignments was from Israel and it cost me £50 just for shipping.

Check out a local hardware store. They tend to have some kind of box you can fit those in for shipping purposes. If all else, you can try to cut up some cardboard and form it around the big ass thing.

Are you a grill? If so, yes, especially if you "accidentally" got some perfume on it.

I'm glad since I spent $60+ on all the material and would hate to waste it.

I knew there must be a few fellow New Zealanders doing /ss/ and yet I must ship my cards to the opposite site of the world, Well played SantaLoli.

>>149934528
I thought that national/continental didn't apply for cards and that it was all random.

>>149934634
Oh is it? Now that would explain things, I guess it doesn't matter as Christmas cheer is universal and the postage won't really be any different.

I fucking love stuffed-animals.

Do we need to contact the organiser with our progress or anything to keep us accountable? Just like send him proof we shipped something or is it more of the honor system? I was going to send the person the tracking number (but I'm going to wait a day or two after I ship it to make sure it shows up on the website and he doesn't freak out).

I guess if the person never receives anything, he will contact the organizer and the organizer will get in touch/blacklist whoever was supposed to send something.

So what is everyone watching because of their assignments this time?

>>149936356
Santa will ask you for shipping confirmation if your anon says that he got grinched. I guess if you don't have anything, you'll be banned so it might be good to keep the tracking code in case the package gets lost.

>>149931945
Prostate massager.

Just finished Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni it was decent.

There was the retard that pretty much posted his entire gift while asking for help. There was a disproportionately small amount of butthurt for that, imo.

Watched Haibane Renmei.
It was okay.

Let's see how this goes.

>>149931880
I'm just glad everything worked out in the end. can't believe it's been nearly 10 months since then

>>149936627
That's more cringey than anything. And there are always faggots like that in the event anyway. I can see why no one cared.

>>149936360
That's what happens when we let capitalism win.

>>149936436

Most of them I have already watched. Guess I will try Rokka no Yuusha and Witchcraft Works.

Rewrite I will play the VN.

>>149936436

Didn't watch anything new because 2 of my assignments have shit taste (but I still respect them and will work hard for their gift) and the third has tastes in line will all of the shows I've watched.

fourth time's the charm

My assignee liked something I was currently watching and really adore

>>149937108
are you in the right thread, anon?

>>149937231
Rewrite is awesome. The common route drags just a little but then it's really worth it.

>>149936871
Just boring shows.
Not good or bad... just boring.
I don't feel like trying to watch them any time.

>>149936436
Evangelion, I hate it so far.

>>149937242
>>149937278
I am in the right thread, but I'm worried about you now.

>>149937231
Rokka no Yuusha is very enjoyable.

>>149936436
Started playing Persona 4 and will look how much time I have left for some of his other favorites after that.

>>149936581
>Not playing the Higurashi vn for your assignment
If you have enough time you should continue watching Kai which contains the actual conclusion and answers to the story

>>149937298
I think the one with shit taste is you.

Your gift has been sent out.

Now I wait for my initials :(

>>149937313
For some reason I thought assignments had something to do with university and I was surprised that no one called that anon out..
And I already watched everything my assignees like, I should rewatch Zetsubou-sensei though.

>>149937313
I decided to type the last 3 digits of a post number by hand. It didn't end well.

I should watch Symphogear and Sora no Woto, but they don't seem like stuff I'd like so I'll skip them.
Will watch Shigofumi, Amanchi and Bebop though.

How the hell do I inform myself about Touhou girls/stuff? I know literally nothing about it except that it's a game.

It depends.
My assignment from the U.K. put on his wish list anime like Show by Rock, Sousei no Omnyouji and Mononoke, would you say those are good?

>>149937576
SB69 is pretty great and Mononoke is top tier.
Omnyouji is nothing special though.
