Why i do Off-topic.com Secret Santa EVERY year!

Got a message through a 3rd party that my gift would arrive on the 21st.

Got a call from my mom that a package had arrived that had “funny stickers” on it…

Got in my car and drove the hell over there ASAP to bring the gift home cuz my gf wanted to see it. So after a 20 minute drive back to my apt, i decide to start opening it. FAWK it was heavy.

HOLY shit, awesome rasterbation of my car… i <3 it, im going to target in the AM and picking up a shit load of 8.5X11 frames to put this on my wall, i will post the pics when its all set, i realy like this!

I just want to say thanx to my SS Randomdead, holy crap man, you really outdid yourself, I can now justify spending close to 150 bux on my elf. This guy totally is the reason why OT-SS is so friggin great, When i was wrappign up my elfs gift today at the office i was explaining to people how much fun it is to get somebody who puts in the effort, and jon TOTALLY went above and beyond to make it SOOO much fun, even my gf said he did awesome, she said he bought me better gifts then she did for X-mas!

wow.

work secret santas suck.

Is $150 the buy-in there or are there tiers or something? Seems pretty excessive for some random-ass dude, but it does make for potentially cool gifts.

thats what makes it great… its a minimum of 25 dollars… but alot of people get pretty creative…

i spent ~ 150 cuz im a nerd…

this guy spent a ton,

one guy got an ipod video etc…

but its the fun packaging etc that make it fun… they also do contests for most creative packaging and the mods vote on a best gift category etc

one guy got sent on a 3 day scavenger hunt for his gifts last year and won an Xbox 360 for most creative gift

another guy won best packaging for sending an army ammo box he welded shut. The recipient went to a fabrication shop to get it cut open ony to find 20 lbs of rocks and a card that said your real gift will arrive in 2 days, but A for effort…

a girl this year got 25 dollars CASH in a card that said, HA you are a whore, now i wont get banned, go fuck yourself fatty…

she posted a thread bitching about it pretty bad, and then 2 days later her real gifts arrived which were hillarious etc… and the SS was laughing the whole time

ive had semi-shitty gifts my first year, to decent last year, to downright AWESOME this year…

if you get screwed Ie you dont recive a gift, fazle and the mods adopt you and you get friggin AWESOME gifts

thats awesome

I saw this over there at the beginning and was thinking of doing it, but I don’t post enough nor would I come up with cool ideas for someone that I didn’t know.

Damn dude thats fuckin killa! :tup:

Cool :tspry:

cool idea, nice gifts :tup: i like the car pic a lot

sweet

That’s a good Santa.

And that leeloo/jamphat situation is/was epic. :mamoru:

Nice!

Wow, it’s nice to see some generosity/good will come out of a forum. :tup: Cool stuff!

this is awesome… rolling it out to SON i think

Haha, even if it’s once a year. :slight_smile:

I meant to get in the :otss: this year, but just exhanged gifts with an OP. :naughty: <333
