OCR Secret Santa 2016

[Jragyn]

So I don't really know any of you guys, I very seldom interact with the community (11 comments over the last 9 years?!), and I have no substantial musical talent/prowess... But this place generates some of the best music I've ever heard, and I wouldn't mind contributing something towards this place.

Should I sign up or anything for this? Or is this something reserved for more active people?
I won't be hurt if its the latter.

[The Damned]

ALL MAY JOIN.

ALL MAY GIVE.

ALL MAY ENJOY.

[Miyakan]

Ok. I signed up because I just got a job for the summer.

Have fun. I live in New Zealand, shipping is gonna suck both ways.

There's always gift codes.

[Koriantor]

Oh. Snap.  That time of the year already?

Ahhhh yessssss

[Bahamut]

I'm going to do the matchings a little later when I get home - you can still sign up in the meantime, but once I lock it down, I am likely doing the pairings/sending out the PMs.

[The Nikanoru]

Like @The Damned, I'm singing up.

[Bahamut]

I just sent out all the matches (except to @Mikayan - enable messages or let me know how I can relay it!) - happy giving!

[Rexy]

Oh yeah!  I learnt of my match half an hour ago and my mind is now whirring with ideas.  This will be fun!

Contact me at tauwillwin@hotmail.com. Also, how would I change that? I couldn't find it in settings, and I've got messages before.

[prophetik music]

maybe if he spelled the name right? miyakan vs mikayan.

my person described three vastly broad interests with like four words. sadface. hopefully i don't double up on something they already have!

[Miyakan]

The correct name would help.

Although, Mikayan sounds pretty cool too. And people might actually say it right then.

Oh and @Bahamut, I still haven't got details yet. Please send them through. Message or email on tauwillwin@hotmail.com

The sooner the better. Waka post takes a long time.

Mine didn't give any interests at all, just t-shirt size. I found a few things that nearly any gamer would likely want, though, and one thing that I'm sure will appeal specifically to my person. I just got it in the mail over lunch today, and they can expect it within two weeks, I think.

[The Nikanoru]

Mine was pretty clear and gave me a good place to start - still spent two hours in the store trying to find THE RIGHT THING though.

I should have mine in the mail by Thursday at the latest.

[Rexy]

My person gave me some generalised subjects as well, but that was nothing that looking up more information about them on their social network couldn't fix.  Do you think this can help out a few people unsure on what to give to their match?

not a bad idea, and one that i've used in the past. i should give this a try =P

[The Damned]

Don't forget that a lot of us have Steam accounts, and the autumn sale is going on still.

Also, I think if anyone didn't really fill out their interests and/or wants on the page, this thread might be a good time to do it.

I recall last year where I had a person that I couldn't find anything for at all, and had to question another member to get even a little bit of info. Like, two weeks of digging around and asking to find out they liked Sentai stuff, which would have fit perfectly in the info page we all set up the month before.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

[Obtuse]

Just sent out my gifts to my person. 

I was probably one of those people who didn't give much info. If you get stumped, I'd love some plushy thing. Squishables, Yoshi stuffed type thing. 
I generally do like to be quite surprised and get random things.

Im probably one of the people who put down a vague answer, maybe too late but here are a few options. 

chocolates

usb to lightning adapter 

psn or steam credit 

35mm film or developing chemicals

Any of the pocket operator synths other than the arcade model. 

 

Good nuff 

[wildfire]

Mine will be arriving late, many apologies.

[Miyakan]

Ok. I finally have my secret santa info. Hopefully I will be able to get something for them next week. Who knows how long postage will take though.  It could arrive in January.

[prophetik music]

Yup. I've got to try and get mine sorted out next week so that it will hopefully be there by Christmas. Although, purchasing for the US isn't so bad. I can just shop Amazon, or any US based business, and get them to ship.
