N&G Secret Santa

Selaws said:
This might be the most obvious thing ever (cough..secret'...cough) but is the idea that we let the Santee know its from us? Like is their an unveiling at some point or are we free to pop a Christmas note in the package? Or is it best to keep it all hush hush?

I've not heard of many who don't find out. Mostly as soon as vinyl is posted the Santa appears eager for feedback !

I asked Santa "Jeff" Claus to ship the records to my American Santee but he insisted to sign with my name. I hope I am he is not against the rules.

I’m trying to use any other vendor in the US but the combination of records means it’s sadly likely to be Santa Jeff and his underpaid exploited elves that get the the gig 😟
 
Dear Santee.

I've emerged from a deep dark rabbit hole filled with music unfamiliar to myself, but I've emerged clasping the first record of your box and it'll be with me in a few days. I hope it's suitable!

I might force my musical tastes onto you for option two, I'm not sure I'd ever emerge whole and sane from another deep dive! :eek:

I'm sure you know Bullmoose and you probably already know, but I usually forget to check Amoeba, sometimes they have what I need and they have free shipping (sometimes marked higher though so 🤷‍♂️).

Fingers crossed. One of them seems pretty unavailable as a US press but amazon US seem to have some weird option to buy off amazon UK through them for really low shipping. Kind of raging we don’t get the opposite opportunity if I’m honest!

Same when I see all the discounts American web shops are giving for Thanksgiving. My wallet laughs at me. He laughs but has not teeth anymore, November was rough!

Dude, LITERALLY the day these went live, I found a few things on my wantlist at SIGNIFICANTLY lower prices than I had been searching for the last few months. One out in the wild. Had to bite the bullet and roll the dice. I guess it's perhaps a test of patience?!

Why is it always like that? Ha.

After I signed up for secret Santa, I found 2 of my wants super cheap and the 3rd, the seller on discogs offered his list to me and there was another. Like, really? I have been trying to add more to my list to help my patient Santa. 😂
 
Purchased what I needed to for my Santee!
It took a few hours... a lot of what I wanted to get for them was either OOP, OOS, or waiting for repress.

NOW: imagine my dread when, upon completing one of the two purchases, part of the receipt said "guaranteed delivery by December 18."

I SURE AS HELL HOPE SO! I'm having this stuff delivered to ME and then repackaged.
Santee, I will do everything I can to get it to you by Christmas.

Anyone else encounter things like this?
