2012 Christmas Gift Exchange!!

I am James U.

So, I haven’t filled out a wish list because I truly want this to be a surprise. I have a life that gets too predictable. I am a 38 year old male who loves almost all things geeky (I was born too early for the trading card games, but just about everything else) and trying to love all things fitness (playing xbox is fitness, right?). The two worst presents in my life have been from my mom: 1)A pair of pink socks and soap with a lizard in it (yes a real lizard, no I have no idea why) 2) A balut egg. They say balut eggs are Filipino delicacy. I am pretty sure they are part of a “Let’s see what we can convince tourists to eat” plan.

I stand by my original limitations of non-sexual, not living, won’t explode. Also, if you have a puzzle box that opens the portals to hell…well that always turns out poorly.

If you absolutely need, I will make a list, but it would be more fun for me to be surprised. What is your favorite thing to geek out about? I will probably enjoy it. What if you get me something I already have? That just means that you have good taste.

If you’re confused which draw name is the correct one, login to Elfster and it should list the correct name at the center top of the “My Elfster” page in the “Gift Exchanges” box!

So what did ya get?!?!?!?

I should have time to try it out this week and I will be sure to let you know! Currently addicted to Plants vs Zombies (Game of the Year Edition) and having a hard time NOT playing it when I have spare time. The LOTR game may just cure that though. :wink:

I got the Lego Lord of the Rings game for PC and a Star Trek Enterprise bottle opener!

#49

Sweet! Enjoy them!

#50

My gift is listed as “Destination scan” :slight_smile: I think today someone will be getting a ThinkGeek box!!!

#51

#52

According to Amazon, the present I sent should be arriving tomorrow :slight_smile:

#53

I had a good game with the wife with my choices - Zombie Fluxx and I’m reading Just a Geek by Wil Wheaton as I type.

Thank you

Apparently, the Post Office is trying to recoup the money lost on the Lance Armstrong sponsorship by raising their shipping rates. I went a few dollars over the cap, sorry. Next year, I am just going to ship “tension sheets”

#55

That’s ok. Sometimes we cheat a little bit. :slight_smile:

#56

Reminder: if you ship directly from the vendor, have them include a gift note so your giftee knows who their Santa is!!!

#57

Yay :smiley: I got my gift and thank you thank you to my Secret GWC Santa :smiley: Watched one last night and the other tonight : ) Perfect timing.

#58

Good, I wondered after I sent them if they might have been left over on your wishlist from last year.

#59

My package arrived! Thanks, entercustomnamehere! Since I won’t have other gifts to open Christmas day (out-of-state family) I will try to resist opening until then. Try. Silly maybe but it’s fun to have something for Christmas morning. I’ll let you know when I fail. :slight_smile:

Nope, they are perfect! I try not to buy movies anymore since I like food more but I always like watching them over and over (don’t we all? : )) and these two are perfect additions to my watch and rewatch set : )

Thank you again so very much.
