I'm in! Sent the e-mail a couple days ago.

Papa Elf, how do we update our wishlists? Crazy Jim just posted about the new Wildman kits (Wild Child and Darkstar mini). I gotta get those on the wishlist. And the Featherwight 38mm AV bay...

Cheers,
- Ken

[El Cheapo]

You guys really wish big, don't ya? Try not to forget there is a $20-$30 cap.

[tsai]

You guys really wish big, don't ya? Try not to forget there is a $20-$30 cap.

Yeah... the e-mail I sent to Papa Elf actually has a split list. The realistic list, and the somewhat unrealistic list. :)

In some of the previous SS exchanges, I have seen generous individuals send somewhat more than $20-30 worth. I have a fairly large build queue, so if anything in my queue is on my victims list, I'll probably toss it in on top of the gift.

I didn't view the $20-30 as a cap, but more of a guideline. I expect I'll probably exceed that number myself, as I find it's somewhat hard to stay under that especially in the HPR world where $20-30 gets you a small motor, or various knick knacks, and I'd really like to gift my victim an actual kit, or enough parts and pieces to build something.

[UPscaler]

You guys really wish big, don't ya? Try not to forget there is a $20-$30 cap.
20-30 isn't a cap. It's just A guideline. I tend to spend a little more than that usually. There is a lot of generous people that do the same.


Although, this year may be different for me, I may end up in the $20-$30 range.

Send Papa Elf an e-mail to get it added to your wish list. Little extra work, but he hopes the extra effort is appreciated ;)

[El Cheapo]

Duelly noted, "guideline" is the proper term. I only pointed it out because I wouldn't want someone who has never participated to see a bunch of wishlists for altimaters, 98mm motor casings, or 9" V2 kits and get scared away.

That is a good point as well. However, I think my list is fair, as some of the high power kits I included fall in the guideline, or just slightly over. I do agree that some people over do it, but they're just being hopeful, I was going to include things that would help with the build of our six inch alpha, but $30 would probably only get a couple centering rings ;)

[mjennings]

EL Cheapo, I believe Papa Elf also tries to sort things by power level when he matches up Santa's and victims. (At least I've seen that in my experience) That way it is easier to shop / stay in your budget. I too have had generous Santa's but know of folks who have had poor experiences after having been generous.

[Scotty Dog]

How does this work? Do I order the gift and get it sent to my place and THEN wrap it and send it to the person I got? If I order it online sometimes they will send it only to the person on the "Credit card" and if you do a C/O type thing the person getting the package will know who its from.And I dont send anything with out a return address. I think ya get my drift. Just trying to keep it secret.;)

[n3tjm]

Usually you order the gift and the vendor sends it directly to your victum. You can have it sent to yourself first, but this is only advisable if you are putting together a present from more than one vendor.

Since I had such difficulties in July (yes, things have gotten a little better now. Not much, but a little. Life is still in the toilet, but the smell is a bit better.), I'm going to sit this one out. Really not fair of me to join this one, even if PapaElf let me.

Lucky Rocketjoe...its going to be an extra special Christmas for you. Thanksgiving sales helped me maximize my SS gift. I got it all sent to me (cuz I ordered me some stuff too:D), but will get it out to my victim ASAP. I might event throw in an extra or two from my own pile-o-parts.

[Rocketjoe13]

WOW. I'm overwhelmed. :happydeer:I typically organize raffles. I think this bonus should be evenly distributed among the many elves Papa Elf has recruited. :santa-smile::present:

[n3tjm]

Hmm. Looks like Rocketjoe passed on the prize, so that means I will hold another drawing later today =).

[bandman444]

I think this bonus should be evenly distributed :santa-smile::present:

[n3tjm]

I decided to keep this year's prize as is; multiple goods for one winner. Maybe next year Papa Elf will decide on multiple winners. :)

A new name has been drawn.

Oh it's pure torture for me! It's so hard to wait. I'm glad mine isn't here yet.

:hohoho:

Another gift has been put into Santa's sack. It may arrive early (Santa makes some early deliveries), but the recipient is advised: DO NOT OPEN BEFORE CHRISTMAS! If the recipient disregards this warning, the only thing found inside will be a lump of coal. :impatient:

[Kaycee]

Santa's Elves have been busy loading the sleigh. :)

Now it's up to Rudolph and the team to deliver the goods. :D

[spaceclipper]

Target acquired, "the package" ordered and awaiting delivery to launch.....:dark:
ha ha ah oooofh (evil laugh) mean while I'll have some popcorn whilst I wait!!:pop:

[Donaldsrockets]

Order has been placed and the gift will be going out on Monday.

Also, I received the SS prize tonight and it is under my tree until Christmas morning.

Thanks much Papa Elf.:smile:

[jdud]

Its all in the hands of the USPS now. Gift was deployed this morning via Priority Mail. Hope you enjoy!:present:

[UPscaler]

Present deployed a few minutes ago.:santa-smile:

I've ordered the seller to rig it with a trap I gave him the plans for. The trap gets deactivated at 12:01 December 25th, 2010. You are free to open it then.:wink:



Enjoy!
-Braden:smile:

Edit: 12:01 AM. Dad pointed out you don't have to wait until noon :wink:

Yep,

[harsas]

Thank you, I appreciate that.:)

I wonder if there will be some sparky motors packed in there!!!:D


NO SPARKIES.....

[Pantherjon]

Special forces Llamas have been deployed to deliver my recipients gift! :D Right off of their wish list!

Awaiting a 'special' package here!

[kyntar]

OK I know I have been procrastinating but my gift will be sent down south monday.

If you live down south then expect a package with a card attached. :D

Read card as soon as received. :rolleyes:

[bandman444]

I live down south....well i think its south

[fishtech]

Got notice from vender that order was recieved, processed and shipped.

They should be recieving anyday.

Only 20 days left.

I also recieved another pacakage from my SS. Man I am getting spoiled.

[mjennings]

HELP!!!

My Victim is a HPR guy and everything on his list is more expensive than what I spend on my Wife!

Is there anything in the $25-$35 dollar range that a HPR flier would find useful or a HPR vendor that does gift certificates?

Thanks

What kind of stuff is on his list?

There are several 25-35 dollar items that a HPR guy could find useful, but it depends on what kind of stuff they fly and whether or not they already have some of them.

[n3tjm]

NO SPARKIES.....
:bangpan:

I remember Santa Clause saying, and I quote "Nothing wrong with sparkies!" I heard that he is thinking about attaching a couple M2200's to his sleigh... Think he got the idea from that Elf movie.

I think he better just use something made by CTI. I'll take the real AMW sparkies off his hands.



-Braden

[Pem Tech]

Yeah, my victim's list was a bit pricey as well......
I always make a point to list less expensive articles and SS can do more if they wish.

If you victim flies Pro38's, a one or two grain case may work out.

Hey, I just realized something. You live up there in that Wanna be Vermont state with that Papa Elf guy. Are you Santa?

[kyntar]

Have you ever had a life changing moment like the one from scrooged :y:. That happened today for me:eyepop:. For the past few weeks I have been scrambling to get the tree up and presents wrapped and nicely placed. Been grumbling :grinch: and cussing :mad: my way through lines and pushing like a line backer to the checkout.Days are just flying by :jaw: too fast and bringing me closer to the dreaded day of my kids complaining about not getting this or that :mad:. It's coming to quick, Not enough time to do what you want. Then Suddenly :surprised:. Secret Santa :hohoho: Arrived today. I sit there staring at that box newly placed under the tree and WOW Christmas just won't get here fast enough. :wave:
Thanks Secret Santa for a Great Christmas

[Pem Tech]

Delivery Llama is outbound to my SS victim....

[bandman444]

I'm getting ready to send out my gift, but how do you give the gift a present like quality? I mean a brown box does not appear flattering under a tree. Do you put the present in a larger outer box? How does the recipient know to open it?

Thx

You could wrap an inner box all pretty and label it "TRF SS DON"T OPEN UNTIL XMAS OR IT WILL EAT YOUR FACE OFF" and then ship it in a plain box that they can open.

[bandman444]

How do they know to open the plain box?

[Scotty Dog]

Hope this happens soon

[Scotty Dog]

end up doing this. Cuz I got a few little things for myself in the order,its coming to my place first. BUT-my vic is somewhere close.

My Secret Santa gift arrived from FlisKits with a note on the outside saying something to the effect of: Inner contents are securely wrapped, feel free to open the outer box.

[bandman444]

Ok that makes more sense

[UPscaler]

I'd do that, but I can't wrap a present without it coming out nasty looking:eyeroll:

[El Cheapo]

Yesterday I received a package from Stickershock. I was so excited and immediately began wondering what my Secret Santa sent me. At that point I had no idea how I was going to be able to wait until Xmas. I wanted to start designing for whatever it was right then and there. It took me a few minutes to remember that I had ordered vinyl for an upscale I'm building for my Daughter for Xmas and that it wasn't actually my SS gift. :gavel: Uggghhhhh I just laughed at myself.

Anyway, what I ordered from Mark looks great and is going to be awesome.

[bandman444]

Gift on the way!

Thanks for the packing advice.

[MarkII]

The gift from my Secret Santa arrived today.

My wife came running in carrying the box, shouting, "You have mail!"

So I can count on there being at least one thing for me under the tree on Christmas morning. :D

[kyntar]

Everyone sitting around staring at presents. :confused:

[Donaldsrockets]

Just received my SS package today.:D

Thanks Secret Santa.

The one I received prior was the Papa Elf Special package.:wink:

[UPscaler]

Dad and I still haven't received anything, I think they'll probably be here within the next few days.

I'm so excited. I can't wait to see how excited my victim is about his present, I KNOW he'll love it!

Braden

[bandman444]

Got my gift sent today and there must have been a llama waiting to see me give my gift cuz today I also got my gift from my ss! Super excited! My box smells like cardboard maybe its a kit? Sounds like a bunch of mnms inside though...

I like that the box says fragile but a llama has throughly chewed some parts of the package....oh ! Did I mention the beautiful artwork on the side I will frame it.

Yes, you are the first victim of our new Stealth Llama Delivery System. Once the delivery Llama arrives at the victims address it hides and waits for the victim to accomplish send their SS gift. Once this is done, it comes down from the trees and gives you your package.
As far as the bite marks, have you ever seen a quadruped try to scamper up a tree AND carry a box at the same time? It ain't pretty....

Glad you like the art work....
Trudy never ceases to amaze me.
If you could post a pic I would be grateful, as I didn't take any pictures before firing them off.


Oh, and Pap Elf, my SS has been shipped but nothing has been received.

I was planning on it, but I wasnt sure if that was against the rules or not!
I can do it when I get home from school or sooner if ic can figure out how to do it from my phone

[n3tjm]

Papa Elf got a package today... hoping he got a present he soon realized that it was the parachutes he ordered from J-Allen. He's still hoping there will be a CTI Pro75 5G motor and closure set... jk :P

[gdiscenza]

:hohoho:

Another gift has been put into Santa's sack. It may arrive early (Santa makes some early deliveries), but the recipient is advised: DO NOT OPEN BEFORE CHRISTMAS! If the recipient disregards this warning, the only thing found inside will be a lump of coal. :impatient:

Sounds like Schroedinger's Secret Santa Gift!! Is it a gift, or is it a lump of coal? It's actually both at the same time, and resolution does not happen until the moment the box is opened.

Heres my beautifully decorated package from Pemtech ( SS via Vendor)

[Kaycee]

My Secret Santa gift arrived today. :)

Delivered by the USPS in a plain brown box, the message written on the box gave directions that were clear as to the disposition of the package.

The outer box was opened to find another beautifully wrapped box within, protected by many shipping 'peanuts'. Our Christmas tree will be erected tomorrow, so my SS gift will be the first one under the tree!:)

Thanks to my SS sender.:) I wonder what's inside???


I would be remiss if I didn't give props to the vendor/shipper, Art Applewhite. The cost of shipping alone was near what we were supposed to spend on gifts, but to giftwrap the inner box was definitely over-the-top in my book.

Thanks to all the vendors who selfishly offered their services to us.

Lastly, thanks to Papa Elf for stepping up to make this annual event a Holiday Tradition.:)

[UPscaler]

One box with threat of Llama Loogies received. Going to have to dodge those Loogies on Christmas eve. I'm hoping the flight in the direction of Llama HQ will throw them off the scent.

I received my SS gift today. I would really like to open it but for fear of Llama lugie I respectfully placed it under the tree for future unveiling.

[UPscaler]

Let the anticipation begin! I received a box marked...well, just read it.:wink:

It also says it's from Mad Cow:surprised::D


I promptly wrapped it so I could control myself. Here are my two verified rocket presents, the blue one is my wildman drago, and the red one is my SS present

I'm excited!

Camera phone is the best yer gettin' right now. Thanks for the extra effort Ms. Trudy.

Hopefully it's what I really want from this vendor (Huh Hmmm Pem Tech) as I'm currently building a 4" version for my son for Xmas. He's wanted one forever, just bigger. This might mean I get the actual one for myself :D

[H_Rocket]

Got the semi-official notification things shipped today. Should be there on time.

[n3tjm]

Hey rocketjoe, according to your SS your present is wrapped inside the box so its safe to open the package and place the contents under the tree.

[jdud]

The llamas are busy...they left a surprise on my back porch today.

My wife always tries to open my SS gift. The suspense kills her and she doesn't even care about rockets??? I've hidden it behind the tree, so the llamas will not trick me into doing anything "stupid."

[Weetie11]

The SS Sleigh, (a.k.a, USPS Truck) dropped off a package at my house this afternoon while I was at work!!! Fortunately I was not home at the time, as the box read, "Open this box to reveal the wrapped gift inside". But thanks to a note from Jim Flis to my son to not allow me to open the box, as the gift had not been wrapped......the package is now safely wrapped and under the tree and my eyes have been spared the heat and pain of the lasers typically reserved for those who cannot control their urge to peek ever-so-slightly.:santa-smile:

Thank you to my Secret Santa and Merry Christmas to all.....and don't forget......nooooooo peeking!!!:no::wink:

GOT MINE Can't wait to open it!

[n3tjm]

Been very very buys with my new job so I have not had the time to focus on the list. However, the rest of the staff left at 4 so that gave me some time to work on some personal stuff. So I got the list updated :)

[bandman444]

bandman444 has also received his gift

[Rocket Al]

Saw t said came frhat my victim has received his package. Came home to a box that my wife came from " TRF secret Santa". Had her open and put 2 packages under the tree. This is absolutely killing me.

I don't know if anybody else has the same fun from the TRF Secret Santa, but in the last few years, it has been fun giving and receiving from fellow rocketeers who really understand where one is coming from. Hopefully, my victim will enjoy his gift. I am chomping at the bit to open my gifts.

And my SS should get theirs tomorrow, unless they got it in the last two days.

[Ford Prefect]

Well the title says it all. Got mine a few days ago, and finally sent mine off today. Hopefully it will get there when they say it will (thursday). Can't wait to open mine!

[bandman444]

Awwww i just got some bad news...

I celebrate X-mas eve with one side of my family then drive to the other side of CA for X-mas day with the other side of my family and i AM NOT allowed to bring my SS gift to open on the 25th

My two options are open it 24th early in the morning or wait till i get home on the 28th.

I'm 99% sure I know what your going to say but I thought I might as well ask.

[Kaycee]

My two options are open it 24th early in the morning or wait till i get home on the 28th.


I'd open it on the 24th because the supense will be killing you if you wait any longer.

Just don't post -what- you received until the rest of us have opened ours on the 25th.....OK?

I'm 99% sure I know what your going to say but I thought I might as well ask.When I was a child,we got to open one SMALL gift Xmass eve.This was to hold us over and maybe to keep us busy with a toy so Mom and Dad could get some peace xmass eve.ANYWHOO- I ve carried that into my old age and still do it. So I say.let this (Secret Santa Gift) be the one you open xmass eve.I will wait to xmass day to open my ss gift. At least this way I know I got one to open. :rolleyes: Have a safe trip and Merry Christmas from the" Fitts Family"

My family does "Christmas Morning" on the last day we are in town before flying to see the rest of the family. This year that happens to be Christmas Eve so you won't be the only breaking in to the box early and dodging Llama loogies while traveling.
