Wow such creative and thoughtful gifts!! I sent my parcel on its very long voyage on Friday, I hope the weather behaves to allow safe passage. I love taking part in this exchange every year, I think this is my 7th time. Postage rates have certainly changed over the years and make it rather expensive sending parcels from the ass end of the world, this year $43...
Haha yep mine cost $42 and it's still not friggin there!
I sent to the middle of nowhere in Australia a few years ago from the US. shipping was in the $40's and it took a month!
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
Thank you to my wonderful Secret Santa from Canada! I enjoyed reading the "packing material" newspaper and finding out all about where you live. I loved all your notes about the goodies and local gifts you selected just for me! The Pink Floyd mug is awesome! You made my day!!http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc315/rpecsok/Mobile Uploads/image_1.jpeg
I got an amazing gift from JM39128 and am sending the picture to Dimi to post. Thanks so much! The coffee and candy and sticker from Mexico were perfect gifts for me!
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

Hahahahahaha! Mike is the angel on the tree! So creative. And off course love that travel mug! Lol and stickman hanging from an ornament globe - perfect lol

Hi Dimi, our Chief Santa and other Secret Santa Claus 2015. Several past weeks since mid-November were quite tough for me. As some of my friends from this forum know already I’ve been diagnosed with a disease that is rather on the dark side. I’ve been struggling with several medical tests etc. instead of packing and flying to Brazil for my PJ SA 2015 tour. The diagnose was a bit depressing and then… suddenly… I received my Secret Santa gift 2015. I was speechless. I’ve never received a gift prepared with so much attention and care. Jojo – thank you very much. Words would not express your fantastic surprise. I’ve receive plenty of bigger or smaller gifts, which were awesome, but the best part was your wishes and letters attached to every single gift. In Poland we have the “advent’s calendars” for children – I do not know if everyone is familiar with this concept. As a kid we received boxes of chocolates where you were supposed and allowed to open only one box (one chocolate) per day. Reading your wishes and letters Jojo was like opening these small boxes in childhood. I should have read one per day, but of course I could not resist and have read all of them asap Thank you once again!

Radar, sorry for what you've been going through. But I'm so glad that Jojo was your Secret Santa. She rocks! I know her gifts must be thoughtful ones. I'm familiar with advent calendars and always used to give them to my nephews. What a beautiful description of the gifts you received, that each one was like opening a special surprise.
Good wishes to you and I hope you will turn to this community for any support we can give.
Thank you so much Katarina- all the way from Slovakia! I couldn't wait for Christmas to open. I'm a huge fan of cloth bags and this one is really nice. Love the chocolates- the kids and I will make quick work of it. My favorite is the wooden bracelet and pendant- very creative. Thank you again!
Edit: having issues trying to upload the image. I'll see if I can try again or just send to Dimi (thanks Dimi)
So Sorry Radar that you are going through such a hard time. I'm happy that your Secret Santa has brought you some happy moments. Sending {{hugs}} and prayers your way.
I was talking to my kids this morning about how far the parcel I sent had to go and then today to my surprise hiding in plain sight on my gate was a box all the way from Michigan! A massive thank you to FoxyRedLA for the amazing gifts and the lovely card!!! There is no way I could wait till Christmas so I cracked into it. Inside was some yummy salt water taffy that the whole family has tried already, lots of fudge, some cool Michigan bottle top magnets, a choice bag to hook onto my bike and the coolest bracelet made of a guitar pick that is customised with the engraving "Does it inspire". A massive thank you Foxy from the other side of the world! I wish you, your children and your loved ones peace, love and joy these holidays xxxx
Got an brilliant collection of gifts from Christina Frappier. Thanks a lot, I'm flashed... Dimi will post a picture, hopefully...

A HugeTHANKS to Cacarr1 for this incredible secret santa gift!
I want to go into detail: The Pearl Jam print out was the poster of my home town (Kitchener, Ontario) show from 05' .. killer idea!
The stickers were awesome (I didn't have any of those) Always wanted a Ed/Mikey sticker. I love the outdoors and the other stickers fit that theme.
Camping mugs!!! I've wanted these since the previous release of the camping mugs, but these ones are kick ass! Can't wait to use them in the spring, thank you for all the thought.
This is the first year I've participated in the secret santa. My wife did it last year, so we both went in this time.
Merry Christmas Jammers! We all have the same thing on the top of our lists this year .. Tour, anniversary and a new album?
Dear Secret Santa. Thank you for a wonderful surprise! I'm so happy with my gift. Tasty chocolates and biscuits, cute heart earrings, cozy Christmas socks, Sub pop sticker and pins and absolutely amazing festival kit! What else could I wish for? Marry Christmas everyone! Thank you so much Denise, Thank you Dimitris!
