N&G Secret Santa - 2020

[Murfocakes]

Hoping to have my Santee by the time my local shop I’m in line for opens up in 9 hours

I'll take a flyer and predict I'm your Santee. Uncle Tupelo Live please.

And if he’s not you should just post him that copy of Uncle Tupelo Live that you mistakenly purchased anyway.

If people are buying records online do they usually have them shipped to their place and then re-mail them to the recipient?

Depends on what you’re doing. If you are just shipping straight records then yeah ship em direct. If you are wanting to personalize your gift, then ship it to yourself first. Personalization is a nice touch but not a requirement. Obviously you have to factor in budgets and time into your planning also.

I like to send a handwritten note and maybe some like stickers from my local. But given Covid I think we will have a higher percentage of packages bought online and that’s totally OK

Ok thanks for the clarification! Would love to personalize mine, but it may be hard this year.

not sure if it's been mentioned...but can we try to make sure US people send to US people this year?

Postage to the UK was pretty expensive as it was last year --- only more so now.


I know we can "drop ship", but I do like to make the package a bit more personal with some added value.

This was discussed last year among the staff. We decided to put everyone in the same pool, with the expectation that no one would ship internationally (since it is difficult/expensive).

We have a very international user base and thought it best to put everyone in the same pool so that we can be as inclusionary as possible. This idea was strongly supported by the international members and staff.

If you really didn't want an international Santee you could just say so in the form. I had people do that and I honored their requests no problem.

i would prefer to not have an international santee but thats mostly because i like personalizing and finding perfect choices instead of looking through one store...

but i dont mind having an international santa

 

[Joe Mac]

Oooooooh! I’m really happy with my santee!

They be stateside so it will be coming direct from the store buuuuuut my personalisation is in the rekids I picked

i spent about 15 dollars more than the budget but only because of inluded shipping for one item.. other than that i did as good as i can and i know they'd love what i got them

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

So I don’t know if this is too early to post or not, but Santa decided to deliver his presents earlier than I thought this year and I’m too eager to wait another month!

EDIT: better photo



Thank you, Santa!

I spent a few hours combing through the collection and wantlist for my Santee.

I finished shopping an hour ago.
I hope they are as pleased as I am proud of these gifts

EDIT: to my Santa, sorry my collection is so big and my Wantlist is a pain in the ass.

 

[duke86fan]

OOPS turns out going bullmoose made it more expensive and take longer...


ordering what i did on amazon means it was RIGHT in budget

 

[Sonicpharmacist]

I may have over-spent on my Santee. There were just too many records I love that I want them to hear.

 

[gouis]

It’s happening!!

 

[Bloodlemons]

I have my Santee. May God have mercy on his/her soul...
