I've shipped half of them! The last one asked me to do more work so it will take more time. gomen

JH from France I'll be sending your gift on Monday. I tried to send it today but the post office was full and I wasn't able to, sorry about that.
This is the last update you'll receive from me, hope the packages reaches you in time.

It's funny, actually. I came back from post office yesterday with three big boxes, but I'm still missing one thing. It wasn't there today either. Can't go visit post office again before next Thursday

Regular airmail never again.

Also I have no idea what to write on the cards

To those who also send cards to their gift assignment when do you do it? Do you wait for all your packages to arrive and send the card with them or do it by itself beforehand?

Hey G from CA, the second half of your gifts finally shipped, so I think I may be able to send everything out next week earliest, the following week latest. So hang in there, bud.

I have not seen an actual card posted this year, except anons posting on their progress. Cards when?

My "excuse" is that I'm using priority mail and don't need to ship until December.

>Haven't even gotten started on cards yet
I like to live dangerously

>It's all stuff I like though
>Wait
>This is my gift
>Have to do the 15-minute walk to the post office again and ask if they have another package for me
>They do
>Go home
>All is well

I'm a fucking retard. Thank you though to my santa! Sorry I opened it early ;_; I guess I'll wait until a little closer to Christmas to post pictures in case you're not watching the thread right now.

Was it not wrapped or anything?

Nope, straight from amiami.

>done 1/5 cards (2 for gifts, 2 for cards, 1 for previous giftee)
>got all the presents wrapped
This weekend I'll do cards!
This weekend for sure!!!

Because I'm still waiting on presents showing up to my address.
Thank Christ my user is a SEAfag and I always ship express because it works out only about $5 more than standard shipping.

Buying a gift and just sending it straight to your assignment seems pretty soulless, or lazy. Add some love to your gift.

Give it some time. It isn't even december yet.

I haven't even started shopping for one of my assignments

I have him too, assuming there aren't 2 anons with that identifier. I should be sending his gift next week sometime too, should arrive fairly quick since I'm in a nearby country. Coincidentally he was my santa last year.

You are a madman.

I'm kinda bummed about the customs charge, but other than that I don't really mind, shipping is expensive for a lot of people I guess. Plus I didn't see my initials posted so I was paranoid I was going to get grinched, I'm happy that didn't happen and I like all my presents. I'm going to attempt to wrap my user's gifts, though no promises on how it'll turn out as I am spastication personified.

Just ordered your last present, YB from Germany, I hope everything arrives in time!

I start the card when I get the gift and then just send the card along with it. My card design is based off the gift I'm sending my user so it'd ruin the surprise if he got it first,

I think it turned out pretty okay.
If you're from British Columbia don't open this image.

I'm sorry user, they should have put more love into that gift to personalize it.

I'll make you a Christmas card if you want.

>tfw sent an anons gift in the post and got first class cheaper than it should have been
>checked Royal Mail's site and there could be a charge to the receiver for underpaid items

fuck
sorry if you got a charge TW, i sent it on Sunday

I have a crippling fear my user won't like my gift.

No, I'm waiting for a gift to arrive and still haven't finished all my cards. I plan to ship it all as soon as the gift arrives, say next week.

Gift is basically read to ship, other than some finishing touches. Half done with the knitting portion of card assignments, planning to finish this one and do the detailing on the two international ones this weekend.

>tfw
I found two prize figures I thought were really fucking cute that they may like, but a part of me feels like I fucked up

Same. I have a backup gift, but what if they don't like that either?

That's really sweet user, but I didn't sign up for cards because I'm really terrible with my hands and anything I could make would look awful, and I'd feel bad having you send me one without sending one back in return!

My gift and card recipients are all within the US, so I'm going to ship by the end of week after next.
I'm afraid of shipping too early. Most of the /ss/ fun seems to happen towards the middle and end of Dec

My art stinks so it's taking way to long to do mine.

I want my card to look good. It may be shipped the first week of December so It gets to everyone on time.

Also, I've been procrastinating. I drew it once, but I didn't like it.

I doubt anything you'd make would look awful. Also don't feel bad, always happy to send out Christmas cards to spread holid/a/y cheer

You're gonna get memed kiddo.

JL from NY, Your gifts should be arriving here soon. I will be wrapping them up and shipping them to you as soon as I get them!

JH from NC
BR from CA
JS from WA
S from FL
CP from NC

3/5 of your cards are done! Hopefully, I will be able to send them out before December.

SZ from CA
DA from CA
JP from CA

I haven't started on your gifts yet waiting on the last couple to get here then ill wrap everything up and do some cards and send them your way hopefully you will love your presents but don't fret IF incase you don't get them before xmas I am sorry but ill try my best for that time and just letting you know you won't be grinched I promise.

>JL
So close to JM. Fug.

I can't decide if I should wrap my gifts and put them in their shipping box or just send the shipping box.

Wrap them.

Same here, Shiranui. I might do it tonight

Wrap them faggot.

Wrap those gifts and yourself, then ship yourself along with them.

The annual Christm/a/s CD's are now being made. Expect Non-Murricans to be sent out first followed by Murricans so everyone gets theirs at the same time.

Also, Chris from PA your gifts should've gotten to you by now. I went ahead and sent them early so you could binge watch.

Okay, time to update:
BW from the U.K. both your gifts and a lovely card were sent last thursday. Now everything depends on the shitty mail service of my third world country, but they told me it should arrive to you by not this, but the next weekend. Let's have hope.

And JM from Canada I sent your things almost two weeks ago. Again, shitty third worlder mail service. I hope everything goes right and you have your gifts and card by the next week.

never mind, thanks santa.

DW from Germany
The last and most important piece of your present arrived today. Will probably ship it next week or the week after that.

JA from Germany
All your gifts arrived safely. Will ship out in one or two weeks as well.
By the way, what do you think of the zvezda girls?

TI from WA
AH from NJ
PR from WA

Your cards and crafts will be shipped out Tuesday. Please look forward to them.

I have the same fear. I bought lots of stuff but I worried he won't like the main, big thing. I think I'll either include a note or contact him and say basically "hey, I hope you like this but if you reallyyyyy hate it just get in touch with me and we can work something out"

>did a custom print of user's waifu
>I was stupid and it's fucking huge, her face is like 3 times the size of lifesize persons
I-It's no problem, right? You wouldn't mind receiving an oversized print of your waifu, right?

I never see my initials. ;_;

It's okay, some people like girls with big heads.
Not one of them, but there's people for everything on the Internet.

Some dude above said he got his gifts even if he never saw his initials. Have hope.

Cards are still in the works. Though these constant exams are killing me.

>user told santaloli that he'd like to deliver my gift in person.
I hope I get grinched, frankly.

Glad I'm not the only one balancing exams and /ss/ at the moment.

Just add some political satire and it should be good.

Don't let the exams kill you. Nobody must die until at least the end of december, because that'd kill the magic of christmas.

You better have some cookies prepared when he comes to your home.

I've never wanted something more.

Seeing as it wasn't wrapped, I don't blame you for opening it, I think most people would do the same if they were in that situation.

>tfw wanted to send fellow Brit something to do with the vote
>tfw didnt want to upset him

I finished all my cards, but I have no bloody idea what to write on them, other than the basic "merry christmas, your taste is shit"

Fuck off with this IRL shit you cancerous normalfags.

Y-you too

ok

fuck your right

sl from oh sorry but you're now grinched

4 of 6 card drawings done. I'll be done with all cards, lining and card itself, by the end of the first week of December.

As for presents, had to contact the japs for not having order ready. That pixiv booth shit sure takes their god damn time. I'm sure they'll send it soon right?

That's about all you need. You can add things like "see you around the threads" or "hope you have a good year," but I think they'll just appreciate the simplicity more than some forced rambling.

>want to include handmade keychains
>haven't even started on them
I just keep putting it off.

God bless SAL shipping.

I made mine already, hope card anons enjoy them. I'm always worried about including handmade stuff.

Onahole arrived today, now just waiting on the other half of the gift. Should show up next week. Hopefully.
Probably gonna sew something together in the meantime and cobble a card together.

I have all the gifts and cards ready, I just keep putting off the post-office.

Monday for sure.

I'm sure they will. Cross stitching always takes so long to do.

It ain't even SAL. They just didn't send my package yet. Well, they at least said to contact them in 2 weeks if this particular type of order is not shipped. First time using pixiv booth. Waiting is suffering.

Which hole did you get?

I figured it'd make a nice gag

Last year my Santa didn't even browse /ss/ until the very end. Never saw my initals and I posted multiple times that I received his gift and he never acknowledged it.

LS of WA your card should be there monday. Now I just need to start on all the other cards.

The textures it has looks interesting. He's going to have a lewd christmas if he's never used one before.

>nice gag

Yeah, if he's into prison rape.

I don't live in Canada, user.
How do you think I got the damn thing through customs in the first place?

>assigned to an american
>going to include a kinder egg

Will that actually cause problems or is it a meme?

>tfw went and splurged
Ah well, user is going to be extra happy. This probably happened because I was in a bad spot financially when I signed up and things are better now.

Also, anyone got MR from Finland?

Ah gomen-gomen.

Lucky user is gonna be overjoyed.

zalg0 of CA, gifts are already with me, just need to buy a final piece.

I seriously need to be more diligent with shit.

Why would you send a Kinder Egg? Sounds weird.

I signed up for the poorfag bracket and ended spending almost 100 euros on presents and shipping. Always happens.

>got a box from Manda
>pretty big box
>the actual item is no bigger than average tankobon but it's wrapped in plastic very tightly, attached to a piece of cardboard which was then glued to the bottom of the box

Is this normal with Manda or were they going a bit too far here?

banned in America, i believe

Do people really send out stuff this early? I get wanting to be in front of the Christmas rush but this is a bit much, especially for cards.

I just thought it'd be funny with how they're banned over there, but if there's any chance of causing them trouble I'll ditch it.

Yeah, but we do have a bit before it's actually Christmas. Do what you think is right, bud. Myself personally, I just want to get everything done asap.

Ever tried to buy shit online and then having it shipped around the early Christmas window?

Enjoy either paying out the ass for it to arrive on time or receiving your stuff 6 weeks later.

The last of my gifts just arrived. But I'm shipping within the country so I won't ship it yet.

Kinder eggs banned in America? What the actual fuck? They're fucking crazy, I tell ya.

I send some stuff like two weeks ago and it hasn't arrived yet. I'm starting to panic.

Yea kinder eggs are banned, but somehow guns aren't. It's actually quite funny yet also sad.

But I mean, why?
It's because the amount of sugar on them?
Because following that rule, they should ban like 50% of american food.

I think it's because of a toy on the inside, but I could be wrong.

Because small toys come inside the egg. I guess some kids would just eat the whole thing and choke

It's because of dumb fucking kids trying to eat them and choking to death on the toy inside. They're not even good chocolate, but it's some retarded legislation still on the books.

Because there is a hidden toy inside.
