Okay, so you said your anon was in Tennessee and named Brandon F
The other anon >>25401531 says his is Brandon Fireking of Tennessee
this can only mean there are two Brandon Fs in Tennessee who go to /mlp/.
I must panic now
Also, I think youre the same anon who i talked to before who said that this Brandon F was getting spoiled. You a based motherfucker, but I think we've confused ourselves.
What makes it even funnier is both the brandons in tennessee have Pinkie pie listed as well

pinkie pie is such a gross pony, why is she this popular?

My Brandon Fireking in TN had ponk, bug horse, moonbutt, sunbutt, and appuhl listed as their favs. Gonna spoil my santee. Hope he didn't get assigned to multiple anons.
>>
>>25403780
Hm. I think we might have a problem

Eh, simple fix I suppose, if for some reason i get two packages, I'll send one out to someone who gets grinched with a happy face on the box or something
I feel like i should be happy because lol more presents, but I'm afraid of messing something up and not getting anything at all now. if we ignore the problem maybe it will go away
>>
>>25403780
must be the one santa pone borked over
>>
>>25403631
I think you're getting confused and that those are the same two people talking back and forth? Fireking was assigned to two people for cards but only one package, and he's the only Brandon anything.
>>
>>25403849
No, that was two Andrews (and a very simply resolved issue provided everyone checks their emails regularly). I'm going to look into this though.

SANTA HAS SPOKEN
>>
>>25403976
I didn't really like the concept of it but I only name dropped my gifted because some people were getting antsy about not being called out. I think we should try and restrict it to hints instead of flat out names but that's just my opinion, it makes those who don't have their names specifically called not feel bad about it, and it makes those who haven't called out their santee feel less pressured about doing so. Instead of feeling anxious about your name being called you can have fun trying to guess which anon may be talking about you.
>>
>>25404033
I like that idea anon.

Attempted card drawings today and got so fucking frustrated I erased a paper in half. It's good progress!
>>
>>25404079
take your time anon, you have almost a month
>>
>>25404033
I wish my gifter would at least drop a hint to me. I asked for an odd item among other normal gifts and my favorite character is relatively uncommon so it shouldn't be hard. Also, I only listed that one character, so I am concerned about their ability to find merch of it.

I'm trying to think positively and just think my name hasn't been mentioned because my anon doesn't want to spoil anything for me.

this probably isnt true but i'll pretend it is
>>
>>25404362
But our anons could at least give some kind of tiny hint. For example, my favorite character is somewhat odd. He could say, "that (insert pony here)fag, I'm thinking about what to give you", or something to that effect.
>>
>>25404407

Old thread dead so I'll repost what I said.

I'll name drop so I hope someone knows they aren't being grinched,

M.L. of CA, I'm currently working on yours.

P.M. of AZ, for no reason in particular, if you had to pick between Rarity, Pinkie, and Trixie, who would it be?

I went to Jo-Anns craft store earlier today and all of the prints were unappealing and boring.

Yeah I was planning on using fleece.
>>
>>25404660
>unappealing and boring
I think Joanns gets all of them and they're pretty generic like all the other "character" prints.
>>
I just gotta say I feel sorry for anyone shipping to Kiwifag, or sending he stuff. Middle Earth is the middle of nowhere
>>
So what's the plan going to be for posting pictures/opening? Are we meant to wait for the 25th or do you think we should just go for it whenever they get here? You could open early, and as long as you take pictures as you do it, wait until the 25th to post them.
>>
>>25402846
I'm glad other anons are into spike. He's best pony.

>>25403644
I really love pinkie, but I didn't put her on my list because I already have a lot or merch for her. I should have put her anyway, especially since I love her ideology and we both bake. Maybe that would have matched me up with a bakefag and I could send them a thank you package of baked goods.
>>
Do you guys think sending gift baskets of small things to card people will be okay? They're also all pretty close by as well (thanks, Santapone/kiwifag), so do you think baked goods would be alright, too?
>>
Those of you adding items that can perish, such as baked goods. it may be wise to make a note on the box, or tape a card to it or something, there is no guarantee they will even open the box till christmas. and a cake would clearly have gone bad by then
>>
>>25405132
You could mail a letter along with your package and write "please read immediately" on the envelope. Hopefully they'd follow through.
>>
>>25405132
>>25405153
I'm going to try and write a note on the box that mentions that I'll have perishables, too. Thanks for the reminder, I was just going to put it in the cards at first. Because I'll want to wait to open my box on christmas, and I'd hate to get something really great that spoiled.
>>
>>25405104
Better be because I'm going to anyway.

I think I really fucked up, and I feel terrible.

I got an Amazon box today with no markings on it, and because I order things from Amazon all the time, I assumed it was just another thing I ordered. But it wasn't something I ordered, and so I'm pretty sure I accidently opened my Secret Santa gift super, super early. So sorry to my Santa. I'm really happy with it and thank you so much, and I'll post pics on Christmas. But I feel horrible if I did accidently open it early.
>>
>>25407859
They had a gift option so that you couldn't see what it was or how much it cost.
And I don't mind, but if you're my anon, you had better learn from that mistake.
>>
>>25407876
Unfortunately you don't see that until You open the box.
>>
>>25407904
Yeah, unless it's explicitly "gift-wrapped" which not all amazon products offer, the outside of the box will appear as a normal box, and won't put any gift notes, or mention "this is a gift" on anything. You'd think for christmas they'd at least allow a "do not open until xmas" label on the box or something.

Anyone miss registration that still wants some Christmas love?

I just got a Amazon packed too. But I don't buy from Amazon since they started adding tax to orders.
I was just about to open it when I saw the "Gift Inside" on the sticker.
I guess the waiting game begins.
>>
>>25408513
I'm wondering if my box had the "gift inside" sticker, but my college slapped their own barcode over it like the do sometimes, and I can see some stickers overlapping.

I only say like one thing anyway before I saw the "gift" tag inside, so I'll just save officially opening it for Christmas.

On the brightside, it's good to know I wasn't grinched, even though I fucked up and opened it. It's also good to know gifts are getting out now.
>>
>>25408513
I'm looking at the label and it has my full last name on it. I'm tempted to open it to see what it is. It could be a family member who used my account and possibly my card who bought something. However, it does say "Gift Inside".
Maybe it is a gift from someone else who knew my full name and not my Santa, but I'm not sure.
>>
>>25408513
>>25408657
I kind of hope I don't get mine super soon, because it'll be torture to not open it for a month and a half. But then again, that would put to rest my fear of being grinched.

There would be so much disposable income. Maybe I just have God-tier parents because it seems literally everyone else can't wait to move out.

Rescued from Page 8.
I have an idea for a gift that can be send to anyone who just wanted a card, nut sure if I can pull it if though...

I'll just buy a calligraphy pen and green ink and write an A4 page of greentext for them. It adds almost no weight and I am sure he'll like it.


Good idea, Anon? Am I doing right?

We should, or at least post pictures.
To the people who have done something like this before: what is the likelihood of being grinched?
>>
>>25413687
I haven't participated, but I've witnessed the secret s/a/ntas often. It seems like the grinching is a vocal minority. The people who aren't grinched don't talk about it, but the people who are bitch endlessly (and rightfully so. Last year, some /a/non spent $500 on his gift and got grinched and bitched nonstop for months.)

I've always been good at saving. I still have quite a bit put away and I'm not in any financial danger or I wouldn't be gifting anons right now, but I don't have current employment so it's tough getting a place of my own. Gotta get back out there and maybe wait tables again. Thank you for the advice!

Yeah, I'm doing Secret S/a/nta this year too, and I'm basically expecting to be grinched. I wonder what the chances of being grinched there are.

Honestly, I like this one more than S/a/nta. All anyone does there is bitch about newfags, or complain that doing a Secret Santa attracts "undesirables" and such.

I think they're basically writing a card, and that's why it's on paper. I could be wrong, though.
>>
>>25416529
No - it's just that I wanted to send anyone who gets a card from me something to compensate for my lack of drawing skills. I can't draw to save my life, so I came up with the idea of RL-greentext, written with a calligraphy pen in fine paper.
As this is my first time writing with such a pen AND my first time greentexting, I decided to share it with you to get some much needed feedback.

Fuck me, right?

I looked up a few patterns (including amigurumi patterns) for ponies for this reason, but I'm not sure I can efficiently learn a new craft in under a month and make a good enough Rarity for my santee. I knit, though, so I have enough spare thread to make a few practice ponies before december hits.

Kai K. from Germany: DO NOT CLICK THE SPOILERED FILE OR READ THE TEXT BELOW!

Small Update from me - read this if you can't draw to save your life but want to give something handmade:

I decided to go with perler beads (hama, to be precise) since my santee wished for something handmade, but there's no way in hell I could make a plushie or I'd draw something even remotely resembling ponies.

Then it occurred to me: All this 8-bit pixel art I saw so often could easily made using "these colorful thingies they use to make window decorations". After some research, I found out that these "thingies" are called "iron beads" in english.

What I'm trying to say is this: Anon, if you don't know what to int your santee, make something using iron beads! It is ridiculously easy, and you can find a shitload of images of it on the net. You don't need any guides or even any talent - all you need to do is to count the beads the others used for their motives if you can't tell how to do it by looking at the image alone.

It even is cheap as fuck: One package (1000 beads) costs about 1,8€, and the pegboard is costs about 3€. Everything together was about 15€, but I have enough to make a lot of motives. I can even send some together with a card since they don't add much weight, so even though they only wished for a card, they get a small present along with their card.


Did I do alright? I hope this helps my fellow anons.
>>
>>25432915
That's awesome!
>>
>>25432915

They aren't that fragile - I'm sure they make the trip. Especially the small cutie marks - they fit in the palm of an hand and are very sturdy. I just made Fluttershy's Cutie Mark for one of my card-recievers.

Cody D. from New Zealand - DO NOT READ THE SPOILERED TEXT!

Guys, I'd appreciate some feedback for the

greentext I'm going to write for my post card recipient. Keep in mind that this will be written on fine paper with a calligraphy pen, so the goal is to write a short story involving christmas, coziness, and two of the recipient's favorite ponies. This is my first green text ever, so please be gentle with me.

Part 1:

> At first, you couldn’t believe it. Somehow, you were transported to Equestrian the day right before Christmas. But there you are - you were even provided your own small cottage on the outskirts of Ponyville.

> There you are now - in front of a crackling fire at the fireside inside your very own cottage with a royal degree granting you this very cottage and a permission to stay for as long as you wish, signed by Princess Luna herself on the table.

> „Even tough she was surprised at first, she acted swiftly“, you think to yourself while you sip your warm cup of tea on the sofa in front of the fireside.

> Looking out of the window, you see quite a snowstorm raging outside. You always imagined Equestria as a land with nice weather all the time, but no - you wouldn’t send a dog outside, let alone think that there’d be anypony willing to go outside for any reason.

> Just as this thought crossed your mind, you hear a lout „Ahhhhh!“, and then you hear the sound of something crash into the door.

> You run to the door and open it - only to see a grey pegasus with a yellow mane in a postal uniform sitting in front of the door, scratching her head and mumbling something about not knowing what went wrong.

> As cute as it is, you notice that she is shivering. She must’ve had flown for along time in this terrible cold.
>>
Cody D. from New Zealand - DO NOT READ THE SPOILERED TEXT!



Part 2:
> „Oh, Hello! S-Sir, I ha-have a letter for you from P-Princess Luna herself“, she says while trying to keep herself warm by cowering on your doorstep, „…and I agreed to deliver it right away to you s-since I was told that it was an urgent ma-matter….“

>Dumbfounded, you take the letter from the hooves of her. It truly is a letter sent by Luna herself - the royal signet and the elaborate ornaments on the envelope left no doubt about it.

> „Welt S-Sir… if this is everything I can d-do for you…“, she says while trying to get up again, „..I’ll be on my w-way back, then.“

> She could bare spread her wings in the cold snowstorm as she turned away from you, still shivering, and prepared to take flight again.

> Sure, the letter was important, but you feel like there is something even more important now.

> „Ditzy?“ „Yes?, S-Sir? Wait, how do you know my name?“

> She looks back at you, her eyes shifting involuntarily. Quickly, she shakes her head to make them look normal again.

> „Er…That’s not important now. Ditzy, it’s very cold outside and this is certainly no weather to fly. Would you drink a war cup of tea with me in front of the fireside?“

> The mare’s eyes opened up wide. She smiled, and coyly whispered „Yes…yes, I’d love to…“

> Seconds later, you two sit on your sofa in front of the fireside. You cover her with a blanket and start to stroke her mane.

> BEST. CHRISTMAS. EVER.

Totally just a massive nitpick here, but for the holiday theme, do you think hot chocolate might be a better choice than tea?
>>
>>25445028
Another anon, but I think if it's spice themed, it would be okay. Cinnamon apple tea seems pretty christmas, and ginger tea reminds me enough of gingerbread. But it's your choice.

I've got a question for everybody. I am ordering my anon a gift from online. The shipping is like $5, so if I were to have it sent to my house first, I'd be paying probably $15+ for shipping on a $24 item. So is it acceptable to just send it directly to their house? Does that make it too impersonal?

Holy shit. I ordered a present from Ebay and the seller fucked up the order and sent the package to the other side of the country.
I already contacted him and hopefully I can get another item or refund before November ends.
>>
>>25445807
You could do that. But I would probably send them an additional card or something just to make it more personal.
>>
>>25445807

yes, that would be perfectly fine.

That's what I was thinking. Cool, I guess I'll order it in the next couple weeks.

You can buy items in bulk online too. I went to buy stuffing for making plush and I had the option of buying it by the pound in large boxes instead of buying a regular bag of it. The discount sucked though, I would have barely saved more than a dollar on what would have been 5-6 bags of it.

Most people seem to be spending into the 30-50$ range as far as I can tell, I'm spending way more then that because I decided to get all my anons gifts with their cards but it really doesn't matter how much extra you give.

If your gift seems heartfelt enough and at least gives your anon one thing they want they should be happy.

I've good designs for the cards, ready to be printed, but I don't have any private printer available. What can I do?

Fluttershy just got a companion... I'm very happy how she came out. I modified the layout of the beads a bit. If anyone needs input, this is how you do it.I'm thinking of sending more cards along with some other beads-mode ponies off, but for now I want t make these four peeps happy. K.K. will get a huge one - think 4 times the size. Octavia will be send to A.N. - I hope he likes it.

Those are adorable! I'd be willing to pay you for a Fluttershy one. There are sellers on Etsy but I'd rather support a fellow anon.
>>
>>25466677

A trip and doubles? No way I can say no - but first my giftees. Also, there's no way in hell I'll let you pay anything for this, you'll get a card and a Fluttershy IF I can make them after I send them off to my giftees - provided that the shipping costs are not prohibitive. They are very easy to do, Anon. Anyway, it's late here - send me an E-Mail to [email protected] and we'll work out the details.

Sending your package through Amazon. According to them it'll be there around Friday, you'll be getting a card from me sometime in December as well.

So yea, Merry Christmas and junk.

I need to go pounamu hunting as well. Have a friend that can help carve it into some nice stuff for some gifts I have planned

Making a Scoots plush for my giftee, but can't find the right coloured fabric for her cutie mark.

Do you think they'd mind a blank flank?
>>
>>25467620
Also I will be able to send that sixth card too Santa Pone
>>
>>25469263
yeah i guess
>>
>>25469308
Wait we can sign up to send extra cards?

I only signed up to send a couple but I want to make some other anons happy.
>>
>>25469263

Shes been a blank flank for the vast majority of the time weve watched the show. itll prob be ok.
>>
>>25469263
>tfw you could be making that for me

H. FUGBAUM can I open now please?
>>
>>25470719
Not Mr. Fugbaum, but I wanted to remark that it's funny how at least 2 of your gifters (cards being gifts, too) are from a german speaking country. Seems like Santa Pone or his Excel-sheet have a knack for this.

Want to establish a new world order together?
>>
>>25470719
i-i don't think I would be able to restrain myself if I were you anon.

I plan on waiting until Christmas to open mine but fuck if I got it mid November the wait would kill me.
>>
>>25467007
Mail received. As said before, first my giftees, but I'll do my best to send you one, too. I'm so happy that you like what I did for my giftees!

Also I think I can wait. But who wants to start a betting pool and see how long it is until I crack and open it?

Speaking as someone who listed Scoots on my pony list, it's fine. Blank flanks are sexier because of the taboo anyway.

A package came today. I thought for a minute it was my gift but it turned out to just be a Birthday present I bought for my significant other. They dumped me last night. It was two years. Merry Christmas to me.

"They"?
>>
>>25475291
My SO. They left me.

>>25475282
Fuck you Rainbow Carlos.
>>
>>25475300
Allright, I just don't get it - you have been in a relationship with more than one person, and every single one dumped you?
>>
>>25475375
No. It was one person. I was with someone for two years and they (this is a singular 'they') left me yesterday. Is English your second language?
>>
>>25475417
There is no such thing as a singular "they." It is always plural. You should have used "he" or "she." Also, it seems kind of a dick move to question others' proficiency in English when you yourself are using it incorrectly, just for future reference.
>>
>>25475300
Why use SO? Gender neutral language is something tumblr is trying to push.
>>
>>25475449
Okay thanks.
>>
>>25475449
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

Nonsense. Anon is trying to cheekily avoid giving the gender of said dumper. His use of 'they' is fine.
>>
>>25475417
Well, yes and no. I grew up speaking german and english in a german-speaking country. It's funny, I wanted to ask you the same question. Anyway, I have never heard of something like a "singular they" before. Are you trying to convey the same meaning as the german "Sie" by using a pronoun normally used for plurals?
>>
>>25475462
>>25475499
I just thought their gender was irrelevant. I'm sorry.
>>
>>25475449
You are literally too stupid to insult.
>>
>>25475511
It's grammatically incorrect to use "they" as a singular pronoun but it's been adopted by a lot of English speakers this way and most would understand it being used this way. I'm unsure about German language structure.
>>
Checked my mailbox today, still nothing.

Im hype as shit waiting for pone cards.
>>
>>25475499
In the Acceptability section it shows that most major publications still hold it to be grammatically incorrect. It is commonly used, but incorrect. But I concede; I don't want to derail the thread. I shouldn't have even made the first post. My bad.
>>
Might be time to create a new thread soon. Almost at bump limit, will wait for Santa Pone before I make the new one

Thank you Santa!

>>25480321
I'll tell ya right now that there's a second package coming. Guess the first one beat it even though they were mailed on the same day. You should probably wait for it to get there before opening either of them.
>>
>>25480366
Ah shit, thanks for letting me know anon, I'll be sure to wait for that first.
>>
>>25480321
It warms my heart to see that this is actually working and people are getting their packages.
