Secret Santa 2020 - All videos on third post!

[bout to crash]

Okay, posting for gift ideas.

For those who don't know me as well, my primary interests are the mighty jackalope, cats, nuns, all things death-related/morbid, craft beer and of course Nicolas Cage.

[Ben_Jamin]

Gift Ideas would include:

Penguin related items
Seahawks is my Football Team
I enjoy Nature, History (local), Mythology
Anything Video Game (especially Old School)
Music
I like reading Books, mainly Non-Fiction (If you can find Magic Eye Books or Optical Illusion books, those would be great)
Puzzles are always fun

I enjoy Simpsons, Rick and Morty, and Futurama.

Favorite Colors are Blue, and Green.

I am also interested in Space and Cosmology...

Anything Funny, Creative, and Original is always cool.

Forgot about Board Games, Particularly, 2 player. 2+ is fine, but I tend to be able to only bplay 2 player board games now.

[Dr. DTVT]

I only got one address change, so if you changed addresses and are not named Adami, let me know.

If you need help, feel free to ask me.  Just say who you have because I rarely use my computer that has all the info.  Most of you I have on FB messenger.  Feel free to add me if you have it (Mason Rouser, and my profile pic is me with Weird Al).

[Cool Chris]

Retro video games
Board games (that my 9 year old can play as well)
Classic films
My music tastes are in my Roulette
Literature (mystery, suspense)
I don't watch TV, and while I post in sports threads often, I am not really a big sports fan.

Seahawks is my Football Team

Huh I never knew that.

[Dr. DTVT]

If anyone is looking to give a board game, I can be a great resource.

[Ben_Jamin]

Seahawks is my Football Team

Huh I never knew that.

Yup. I haven't frequented the thread much this year, as I haven't really been paying much attention to this Season.

[Implode]

[Podaar]

Ack, sorry I missed out on this again. I just don't refresh the unread posts all that often. I was dead set on sending a bottle of Suntory Yamazaki and a FiiO M6 north of the border, too. Oh well, maybe next year.

You can go ahead and send them to me if you're itching that badly!

Thank you! I didn't even realize I missed the deadline until now. That's my fault. Sorry about that. I'm glad to be able to participate though.

 I'm super into anything dance game (ddr/itg/piu/etc) or Tetris related. I do have shelves where I keep all the little tchotchkes I get, some little Pokemon figures, puzzle games, video games, and other miscellaneous nerd/fandom items. Music related, I love Haken and The Dear Hunter. I like the Great Gatsby???    Feel free to ask an organizer if you need any other specific ideas. I'm up for literally anything though. (Except sex toys. Just send those to the usual recipients.)

[gmillerdrake]

To provide ideas for my SS....I like golfing, bird watching, St. Louis Blues Hockey, drinking LOTS of coffee and am a father of three boys. I watch a ton of TV at the sacrifice of sleep with a main interest of sci fi and zombie type shows.....but I can guarantee I'll like whatever you decide to send along. I appreciate it 

[Dr. DTVT]

I'll post Nick's address for anyone who wants to be Mike Porntoy.

[Dr. DTVT]

If I didn't send you your target's address, let me know and I'll get on that.

[Adami]

Oh yea, figured I'd give some ideas to whomever gets me.

I love all things Marvel.
I am a big Star Trek guy (until the reboot in 2009).
I love Metallica but honestly have most of their stuff, so maybe if something is rare or harder to find?
I collect weird and unique copies of The Divine Comedy. I probably have most of the standard releases, but unique ones are always welcome.
I obviously love me some Deadpool
A life size statue of Stadler would be cool.


Oh. Size large shirts. Forgot that part.

So, I got an interesting message today from a DTF member.

Hey Dr. DTVT,

Thank you for running the Secret Santa here for so long.  It's a thread I look forward to every year even though I don't participate.  I want to participate in my own way this year.  I want to PayPal or Venmo you some money and have you purchase gifts for 3 or 4 deserving members.  My only requests are that you don't disclose my name and that you try to support a small business if you can.

(Redacted by request)

So, I have selected three members for some extra special love.  I will contact them before I send so they know they have an extra gift coming, along with the reason I chose them so they can include it in their inbox I guess video.  All I ask is that when I tell you that you are getting an extra gift, keep that info to yourself until your unboxing video.

It's a real Secret Santa now!

[cramx3]

For whoever has me,

Large sized Ts
gamer nerd (Call of Duty lately)
Penn state football is my favorite sports team
I love gag gifts too, so you don't need to be super serious or overly think it

That's really nice to whoever is the secret secret santa

Guess we need to start a petition for a mod to rename you cramL

[cramx3]

well, I'm not trending that way these days, but I'm on the border of L and XL, would rather get the smaller as motivation.  Although, the x never meant that and honestly doesn't even mean what I originally intent at a 12 year old when I created my AOL screen name.

Agreed. Love this!

Getting to be about that time for shipping...

[jingle.boy]

Anyone up for a group virtual get together to open gifts?  My company is allowing us to use Microsoft Teams to “get together” with friends and family over the holidays. We could schedule a group gift opening close to Christmas for a mass gift opening?

That sounds fun. I’d be in for that......and I promise to wear a shirt.

I’m in but I don’t promise pants.

Not against this idea if timing works out for everyone, but then we won't all have that slow trickle of videos over the course of a few weeks.  I could also record it and share if that's the way we go with this.

[Nick]

Sorry I've been behind on this, but gift ideas:

As I say every year, I love the opening to be an experience / good video, so funny or thoughtful gifts with good notes are usually the ones I am most fond of. I have so much physical music media I wouldn't try threading the needle on getting something I don't have but would definitely like. When it comes to music related clothing I'm also pretty overstuffed. That said, I am a XXL if someone is looking to go that route.

I am super excited to be picking up my Model Y in a few days, so some ideas for that:
If this comes back in stock in time: https://shop.tesla.com/product/s3xy-mug?sku=8764620-00-A
And if all else fails, I certainly don't need this shirt, but would definitely wear it: https://shop.tesla.com/product/men_s-haha-yes-tee?sku=7652410-00-A

I'm a Flyers/Niners fan if you'd like to go the sports direction.

If you need more ideas, let Mason know and I'll look for some more!

I’m not opposed to the idea, but that might be like herding cats.  Also, we wouldn’t get the natural progression of weirdness that is so DTF.  I think a short group video chat would be awesome though.

Oh, I would definitely record it.  The other alternative is doing the regular individual recordings, then we get the group together just for shits and giggles maybe the week after Christmas.  I'm sure many of us would be off work that final week of the year.
