This is the official sign-up thread for the 2008 AK Secret Santa.

Secret Santa time is here again.

One of Audiokarma’s long-standing traditions is the annual Secret Santa. It is great fun, and a cool way to celebrate the holidays.

You sign up for this event, by posting to THIS THREAD ONLY. This thread will remain open until November 21st, at 9 pm, EST. Please send me an email, with the words SECRET SANTA as the subject, containing your actual name and mailing address and your AK username, to luvvinvinyl@audiokarma.org. After the thread closes, I will send everyone the name and address of their intended recipient.

The limit this year is $35, not including shipping. Please allow enough time for your gift to reach its destination by December 18th. Remember that your Secret Santa gift may have to travel to another country.

Gifts may be audio-related, but need not be so. Half the fun is reading the posts of your recipient, and picking out something special for them.

You can read about past Secret Santas in the threads in this forum. Join us in the AK holiday spirit.

I'm in - will email you soon with my details.

Thanks for setting this up again this year. :thmbsp:

I'm in too!

I didn't know what it was about until it was too late last year. Sounds like fun!

Denny

All ready ? Time sure flew by this year !

Count me in.

Need to point some thing out to everyone before they add their names to this list.

We do not appreciate harassing people to get them to send out their SS gifts. We at Audiokarma love this annual tradition that Tim started years ago.
It loses a lot if you do not follow through on what you have committed to.

Please make sure you send out your gifts in a timely manor. If you have any doubt in your mind that you will not be able to meet this requirement please do not sign up

Thank you
Grumpy

Thanks, everybody.

BUMP!

Count me in, lots of fun last year.

Only a few days left to get in on the fun. The more, the merrier!

We're always glad to have you. I'm glad things went well for you.

Ok, not to let Canada down..........I'm in! Can you all edit your previous posts and let me know what size socks you wear:D

Do all winter socks sold in Canada run on batteries, or just the top of the line ones?

No, the TOTL ones are hand-knit, by industrious women, like my lovely wife.

I am in if I can still get in. I was thinking about checking this thread all day but just now remembered

Am I too late? If not, I'm in.

Am I too late? If not, I'm in.

Gee, if I get your name, I will nix the sock idea and send you a hockey puck for your DIY record clamp:D

I would welcome it with wide open net...I mean arms. Some of those famous Canadian socks might be nice too.

I went out last night, and missed the deadline, to lock the thread, so everyone, up until now, is in. I will send out your victim, I mean recipient, and his or her address, via email, to the address you used, except the two who didn't read the instructions, and pm'd the info to me.

Thanks, everybody, for signing up, and don't forget: Watch your Inbox!

OK, everybody should have their recipient's name and shipping info. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT INFO, CONTACT ME ASAP!!!!

Here's a reminder, for those who might have forgetten:

PM sent. I haven't received a name yet.

The fun begins,Time to get to know my recipient alittle
better as Ive got my work cut out for me ~?
Thanks for your efforts involved in this Ernie!

Did not receive my name, sent you a PM as well Ernie........Dave

Dammit. I missed this thread. That's what happens when you go to deer camp for a few days, I guess.

You're not going to tell them about it, are you?
I got mine too, and it'll be fun... a pretty "active" member.

... and thank you, Ernie. I just hope somebody is getting YOU something :yes:

I feel half the fun is in trying to fiqure who your
Secret Santa is at X-mas ,So I will be rather Stealthy
if I can.....:smoke:

Doing some research woo hoo! :banana:

Anyone who didn't get in, or hasn't received their name, I'm the default guy this year, so just send me stuff.:D

The postmark was the only thing that gave you away last year. You might try mailing from somewhere else. ;)

Doing some research woo hoo! :banana:

Well if it's me, I wear an XL shirt, size 11 feet (for socks), and have a serious jones for a Ferrari 308 GTS. :thmbsp: Oh yeah, I like music too. :D

Ray

Here's how you'll know it's me: I'm giving away speakers! That's right... my old Bose model 31's!!! How can I be so generous, you ask? Because the woofers need a foam job, and I'll have to ask that the lucky recipient reimburse me for shipping... hey even I have limits to my generosity :D

Well, seems like you are all having a great time, I still do not have my name and it is driving me nuts. Ernie....hurry, hurry, hurry!

"The postmark was the only thing that gave you away last year. You might try mailing from somewhere else"

Now your thinking Ray !

Gonna start my research tonight. This is gonna take a while since the member has well over 1000 posts. I don't think anyone knows my address (except for luvvinvinyl and a few others). :scratch2:

I basically new here, however Ernie knows me. I sold him his first turntable (or at least had a part in it) , a Dual 1218 with a rare aluminum plinth. Told him that it could play upside down and guess what, that was the first thing he did when he got it home.
Hopefully, I do not get his name as I know he will try and do something weird with it.

And it did. I hated watching that table land at the bottom of the stairs. It seemed to fall in slow motion. The auto mechanisms didn't mind the fall, but didn't care much care for the sudden stop at the bottom. That was several turntables ago, but, strangely, not that many years ago.

Everybody should have their target name. If you REALLY want to keep your identity secret, use a little creativity, and get the help of one of Santa's elves. You'd be surprised what you can do, if you try.

So it turns out there was an episode on the TV series "HOUSE" where the titular character set up a Secret Santa swap where HE was the recipient of all the gifts......

Show of hands: how many got Ernie as their Secret Santa?

Just asking.....:banana:

That's friggin brilliant :D

Too bad I missed this year. Bah.

My Secret Santa recipient is proving to be a challenge but this could be fun. Maybe I'll send him/her a can of worms to open up.

:scratch2: This my be an opportunity to rid myself of some of the useless stuff I have floating around. :D

Woohoo!!! I got my recipients name and it is now dumpster diving time!!!
Or have you not heard that we are in a recession?:D

Tell me about it Darren; I've got to ship a crossed the Canadian border :headscrat

Hope Santa knows how...

My recepient seems easy enough at first.....but then you dig a little and you come to the realization..

What do you get the man who listens to everything??

My biggest concern is buying him something he already has...:scratch2:

Ok just read your reply and now understand why I need to ship to the frozen north...

Question does Ernie need a ton of turdilizer and will it hurt to freeze it? Or would it be easier if I drop shipped it fresh?

Probably easier to hire a herd of moose (meeses??) and have them camp out on his front lawn/porch.

Bart

I actually just did this for the first time. Its quite easy. You go to the post office, tell them you need to ship to Canada, they give you a form to fill out. You put the addresses on normally, make sure you clearly mark that it is going to Canada though.

Oh drat, I missed the deadline by a few days. This looks like it would be a blasty blast!

Always next year though I guess :yes:

That is what all the cunauks I talk to say. They say send it by dogsled and it will get there just fine. :yes:

The way you guys are talking it's the first time I am actually afraid to be a Canadian.
I'll have you guys know, the gifts to my recipient are all being custom made and the gifts come from my heart this Christmas season. Yes, my wife is teaching me how to knit. I know when all is said and done, you're all going to say "I hope Vintageman1 gets my name next year". Whoops, just skipped a row.....................:D

If you are my Secret Santa could you knit me socks with seperate holes for each toe? Its cold down here in Minnesota too. :nutz:

Fear not. Have a look at the mod staff, and see how many of us are Canadian. After all, it's a pretty poor existence if we can't poke fun at ourselves once in a while.

That said, there is still good reason for some trepidation, at Secret Santa time. You just never know what may come your way.

Dennydog, my wife calls her socks, like the ones you pictured, 'toe socks'.

BTW, is there some reason why, in spite of the fact that the whole of Minnesota is well north of David (Vintageman1) and me, Minnesotans insist on referring to their relative location as 'down here'?:scratch2:

BTW, is there some reason why, in spite of the fact that the whole of Minnesota is well north of David (Vintageman1) and me, Minnesotans insist on referring to their relative location as 'down here'?:scratch2:

Because we don't know geography very well? :D

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Way to win a chicken dinner!

Minnesotans insist on referring to their relative location as 'down here'?A good fact for a bar bet would be that there are parts of Canada farther to the south than parts of California! Another good bar bet out these ways would be that Reno, Nevada is farther to the west than San Diego, California.

But a map would confirm both statements!

:scratch2: I guess I need to go back to school.

You know you are talking to a Minnesotan if you hear them say they are "going up north to go fishing". I guess there aren't any lakes south of where anyone in the state lives. :no: I'm sure everyone that lives in this state knows what I mean when I say that.

Well, I got my first one done. Not bad for my first try:thmbsp:

Found someone who had been to my victims house....hee hee

Okay, I figured out my unlucky recipient. His gift is now wrapped and ready to be mailed out. Thankfully for him, it's not a can of worms. I'll wait a few days before I drop it off at the post office though.

Cheers

This was tougher than I thought it would be. I hope my recipient likes their gift as it really came from the heart.

One thing... Are we supposed to wait until the 18th to open our gifts?

Open it when you wish. Upon arrival, Hannukah, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Little Christmas, your birthday...

Be sure to post in the "What'd ya get from your Secret Santa?" thread.

I'm going to have to just order something for mine and have it shipped directly to their house. I'm having the surgery done on my neck this week and I still haven't figured out what to get. Plus, I still have others (family) to shop for. Sound cool?

Many of us do that. Whatever works for you. This is supposed to be fun for both the giver and recipient, so try to avoid stress over this.

Great, cuz I can do that after the surgery and still get it there by the 18th or pretty darn close. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one doing that... if so, I would have just blown my cover.

I went back through 20 pages of posts only to find one tidbit about my victim, Uh, Recipient. This is going to be a tough one.:smoke: P.S. How does that Joe Walsh song go....

Nope, Not you. I will say I must dig deeper. Everything posted by my person is so..... generic. I am starting to think a box of 20% off coupons for Bed, Bath and beyond might do.:scratch2:

If all else fails, send a fruitcake or homemade tamales.

Mmmmmm...tamale fruitcake. :drool:

Thanks Ernie!

I'm going to be my usual self and be late at getting things done,
so if you don't have a gift by the 18th, guess that pretty much
narrows down who your Secret Santa is! :D

Rest assure, it will be there before Christmas... 2009. :D :thmbsp:

Always fun picking out a gift. Hope my victim likes theirs. Aw who am I kidding. I always buy what I like :)

Same here . If my recipiant doesn't care for what I got 'm ..Just send it back cause I wouldn't mind having it. I think he will like it though.:yes:

Mine left yesterday (or was it Thursday):scratch2:? Anyhow, it went priority two day, so he should get it today or Monday. I liked what I got him so much, I got one for me too.:D

Off in the mail it went today :naughty:

:scratch2: Haven't sent one yet, waiting back to hear a bit more on the condition of the item. It's used but I think the person will like it. :thmbsp:

Itl be in the mail on Monday wooooo glad thats done. Hope they like it.

'toze is gonna HATE what I sent.

OK, its been ordered, hope my victim likes it. :D

I should be shipping my crap...er, I mean gift to my recipient by mid-week. Hope he likes it.

Besides deleting his address I'm pretty sure I got this one completely wrong and will start the new year with negative karma:no:

I just got notice that my gift is finished being made. I hope my recipient likes it.

My advance apologies to my recipient should my gift not be to his liking. Just a little local flavor going out in the mail today. :yes:

Well... mine went out several days ago... really hope it is to the recipients liking... and not something he already has... hopefully there is the possibility of exchanging it for something better ... :o

I'm still creating at a furious pace. This one will be one-of-a-kind for sure. :D Just hope I can get it done and sent out in time.

Ray

Package is enroute to its final destination via Priority Mail...

Troy!!!

Mine went out days ago, the post office said they delivered it but no posting from the recipient. I hope it was not stolen from his mail box.............I guess what I am saying is, even though you received your gifts, and decided to leave them under the tree for Christmas, we should at least post and say they have arrived safe and sound.

Package #1 in route via priority mail. Now if the other piece will just get here!! :scratch2: Might be a little late for the18th but should make it for Christmas, I hope!!

Hi guys,

Took quite a while to decide on what my recipient was going to get and then it took considerable time to track something down.

However, the deed is done and will ship soon. Just waiting for confirmation. Hmmm, now to consider adding a little extra. :scratch2:

Regards,

Bart

Aw poop. I had no idea this thread existed!

Next year!


Happy Holidays, everyone!!

Don't worry, you can buy me something:thmbsp:
Remember, Christmas is a time for giving:D

...and receiving. :yes:

Out the door...boy did I agonize over this.

...and receiving. :yes:

Recieving as well.. Rainbow video and Blackmore Nights christmas music.:D

Mine goes out tomorrow. I needed one more thing to put in the box and I found something this weekend at the gunshow.:scratch2: It should make it by the 18th or 19th.

Just to let my SS know, I received 2 packages from Amazon.com early last week. My wife couldn't figure out what we ordered until I noticed it had "mech986" as part of the name.

They're under the non-existant tree right now (will be doing some work upstairs this week so have to keep the Living room clear), will open on the 18th - love the anticipation!

Thanks SS, whomever you are.

Regards,

Bart

Hoping my SS gift will go out either Monday or Tuesday of this week....depends if what I ordered is sitting in my PO Box or not. Been out of town for the past three days, so I'll check on it tomorrow.

My gift to my recipient was sort of hand delivered by another AKer. :)

Shweeh! Got the last piece today now I can get if off tomorrow in time for the 18th!! Thought it would never get here! :thmbsp:

Giddee-up little reindeer! SS gift on it's way. :thmbsp:

Recipient: Please let me know how/if the refurbed McIntosh MC240 amp I'm sending arrives safely.

Shweeh! Got the last piece today now I can get if off tomorrow in time for the 18th!! Thought it would never get here! :thmbsp:

Last piece, eh? :D

I got my gift out today amidst the ice. Sure was nice to have a 4x4 today. Luckily my gift doesn't have too far to go so it may make it by the 18th. We'll see. The weather may be a deciding factor.


Ray

Despite a bit of incompetence :stupid: on my part (don't ask), I got mine headed off to the intended vict...er, recipient and it should arrive in time.

Alan

That last pieces of the puzzle have now been found, solved and on their way.

Let's see if they can figure out this clue. They should allow my victim, er, recipient to dance in comfort all year round...:music: :banana:

Hopefully, the bad weather around the US won't keep Santa's Postal helpers from their appointed rounds.

We should all applaud the USPS, UPS, and FedEx along with some AK elves for helping all of us get our SS booty out in a timely manner. Without them, we just wouldn't be having all this fun!!

Regards,

Bart

Now that sounds like it will be one unique SS gift:yes:

You would be surprised at what ya find at a gun show. :smoke:

Finally got my gift sent out... my person was hard to buy for, so we'll see if they like it. :thmbsp:

My SS was incredibly kind to me this year. Aside from a wonderful collection of cd's that I hope to have enough time to listen to over the holidays, I also got about the most beautiful record clamp I have ever seen. I mean, this thing is gorgeous. As much a piece of art as a usefull audio tool. I just could not be happier!
Thanks SS, whoever you are! :)

Wow, sounds like a cool gift!

Yup. And the pics don't do it justice. Truly beautiful.

Very cool, it could double as a volume knob on a Sansui G-33000. :)
