Too late will (probably) be tomorrow afternoon some time. I’ll post here when the cut off happens

If you want to be in, you need to shoot me a template, by the way

 

[Thorrak]

Aaaaaand the list of santas is officially closed. Emails are coming shortly.

 

[Thorrak]

And the emails are out! If you haven't received yours, check your spam folder. If you still don't see it, shoot me a PM and I'll track it down.

 

[orionol73]

Ok this is so perfect. My giftee’s response to the beer preference was word for word the same as I submitted! Win!!

Apparently you guys have good taste!

 

[LBussy]

... or they both like PBR.

 

[pshankstar]

Beers are starting to be acquired.

Same here

 

[Thorrak]

I acquired my box! That counts for something .... right?

 

[fourfarthing]

i think I have a box...

 

[Thorrak]

i think I have a box...

If you need one, I can ship one to you. May be full of beer, though...

 

[jimyson]

I’m drowning in boxes this year. I just wish Amazon gave more bubble wrap or paper inside.

 

[LBussy]

I just wish Amazon gave more bubble wrap or paper inside.

I'm pretty sure they stuffed packing inside a box with a roll of bubble-wrap I bought.

 

[jimyson]

I'm pretty sure they stuffed packing inside a box with a roll of bubble-wrap I bought.

Ha. I bet the box was 10x the size of the roll too.

 

[LBussy]

Ha. I bet the box was 10x the size of the roll too.

I should start a website. It would be the new "People of Walmart." What should we call it?

 

[dpinette2]

Is it a no-no to ship earlier than the timeline listed, so arrival end of dec?

 

[rsquared]

In Post #1:

Why is the shipping schedule so late / Can I ship early?
Santa had a bit to drink.

Seriously though, the holidays are stressful enough during a normal year - and this year is anything but normal. The shipping schedule is intended to reduce stress for both the sender and the recipient. To reduce the possibility of beer sitting on the doorstep of an empty house, I humbly request that you try to avoid shipping early - but if you need to, let me know and I will reach out to your giftee to make sure they will be available to receive it.

 

[jimyson]

you can ship to me any time as long as I’m not your SS recipient.

 

[pshankstar]

More beers acquired today which means I’m going to need a bigger box.

Due to the lack of a selection process, for this round I am recommending your gift consist of up to 128 fl.oz. of beer and one non-beer item (t-shirt, hat, glassware, tap handle, beer-scented soap - whatever you think your giftee wants/could use the most!)

...

FAQ:

What should be in a box?
Up to 128 fl.oz. of beer and one non-beer item (e.g. t-shirt, flannel, hat, drip tray, glassware, etc.).

 

[LBussy]

Stop the madness! Eight beers!!!

I’m just being silly, I have eight 16oz cans set aside now for my recipient. But the struggle is real, not going to lie. Need to figure out the non-beer item.

@Thorrak will yell at you if you send too much beer It is my favorite part of this trade.

also, thanks for running this again @Thorrak

Remember: If you ship more than 128 fl. oz, I will personally shake my fist at the sky in disgust.

I bought a box SPECIFICALLY for 128 fl. oz. of beer. I have other boxes for full FotD rounds (one of which is already half full - I hope whoever is in the next FotD round really likes stouts!).

I can neither confirm nor deny that I was one of his targets last year.

In all seriousness though, thanks for running this again @Thorrak.

Tag me in the next round so my drunk ass will remember this comment.
Side note, I have not begun shopping for this yet. That could be good or bad.

Oh I'm screwed for secret Santa. I'm targeting fresh beer, but am not in NYC, so I don't know the breweries here. I... worry for my giftee.

Are you north of me? Pretty sure you have some options.

 

[Thorrak]

Are you north of me? Pretty sure you have some options.

I wish. Way to the south. Don't get me wrong - there are good breweries here, but I don't have nearly enough experience with them to know what's decent. Oh well - time to explore.

 

[pshankstar]

Drove in the $hitty weather to get a special release tonight at our county’s first/oldest brewery. Some for me and some for my secret Santa gift.
