youmightbewrong Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm the worst SS shopper. My creativity level is close to zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 im usually really good at this but the person i got assigned is really damn difficult. not because i dont know what they like, but because they already have everything of what they like, so it makes it really hard to shop for them.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 ALSO WHOEVER IS BUYING FOR ME: I mentioned baseball cards, but if you can find any packs of cards from the 80's/90's on the cheap thats what I'd really be in to! an example: http://www.amazon.com/25-packs-baseball-cards-15-25/dp/B000ZOUKRE/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1382721808&sr=8-6&keywords=1987+donruss+packs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforkevin777 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I finally picked up something. Well, ordered something. My SS is either gonna think its stupid or laugh their ass off and use it all the time. I feel like mine's gonna suck this year. I was so proud of last year's, too. My person only gave a very short post in this thread, so I'm scraping for ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Papi Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm sort of in the same boat. I'm gonna go out and get a few small, fun things to add to the records and that's gonna be that. I got small things that would make them smile along with groovy tunes, and nice forms of entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 All these posts are making me feel very self conscious haha. Hope I'm not one of the difficult ones. Hoping my tradelist at least helped. Like Toki said, mine was hella hard because he has everything! PLUS no overlap of interests. Brutal. I think I'm done though, I just hope he likes everything. Some of it is kinda cheesy but I think I did okay given what said he was into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacaroo21 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Ok, quick post on my part because I totally forgot to do that. If my SS is still trying to scoop up dirt on me outside of my tradelist, here it goes; Name is Zac and I'm 24 from Northern Minnesota. I love all things CS Lewis, Green Lantern, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokemon. I dabble in tons of art stuff from screen printing, spray stencils, acrylic paintings, and graphic design. I recently started a tiny label and have put out two releases. I am also a musician, play guitar in two different bands. One is a blues rock trio somewhat akin to black keys and early white stripes. The other is an indie rock band similar to Copeland, Death Cab, and Mew. I love goofy pedals and guitar toys. I love all kinds of puzzles and knick-knacks. Also a fan of the MN Twins and Garnet-Era T-Wolves Some of my main bands are Manchester Orchestra, Brand New, As Tall As Lions, Circa Survive, This Will Destroy You, Mogwai, Radiohead etc. Wear a L and always dig a rad crew neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacaroo21 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Also have found a couple things I think my SS will dig. Got some rad ideas for the mix as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackoat Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'm not creative at all, but I have fun trying to force myself to be so. I know I'm one of the hard ones to shop for, but I made my description on here totally vague on purpose. Hopefully that didn't piss my SS off, but isn't it more fun to buy/get stuff from someone you know very little about? Otherwise it's like getting gifts from my parents. I give them a list of what I would like and then that's what they get me. Kind of boring, right? To me it's more about seeing what someone's perception of me is--combined with the gifter's personality--and less about the actual present.

smailtronic Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Need to make the mix CD, but I've been done shopping for a while. Still gotta figure out how to pack everything up, though. Might have to be a two package job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David The Gnome Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Anyone getting close to shipping yet? I boxed everything up and had it ready to go to the post office this past Thursday and then realized the deadline for first timers was the 8th and not the 1st. I was able to pick up something else since then. Looking forward to seeing what everybody got. I also realized how long we'll probably have these just staring at us and crying out for us to open them but 12/25 or bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
