Only until you buy a house and move

I definitely put the address of somewhere I work. Pretty sure my parents would kill me if I told them a parcel was coming to our house from a random internet person that I could not immediately identify.

 

[WildZoo]

She just wanted to know where we all live.

It makes the stalking so much easier

I dare someone to try to break into my parents house... the bickering they do with each other is loud enough and obnoxious enough that someone approaching the house is likely scared the **** off for life.

And my dad currently can't shut the **** up about all their arguments.

Reasons I'm going to put my fiancé's address. I didn't want to put my apartment in case it doesn't get here before I go home for break 12/18.

After a resident ordered a couch off of the internet (Wayfair or something) and had it delivered to the school, we're not allowed to have packages shipped to the hospital anymore, so just don't come stalk me, okay Secret Santa?

why would they want the couch delivered to the school?! then they'd have to move it to their house after that

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it might have had something to do with someone signing for it or something? Like maybe UPS or whatever wouldn't just leave it at their house? It is hard to sign for stuff with a resident's hours sometimes...luckily my apartment complex accepts our packages if we aren't home. It wasn't someone I knew well so maybe the story got embellished in the retelling between residents, but I did get the email 'reminding' us not to ship to the school.

...also we have a couch in our clin path resident office. It's a little, cheap, uncomfortable, pleather, broken two seat one that really only my dog uses...idk how long it's been there, who brought it, or under what circumstances, but yeah.

I’m in.

The nice thing about international stuff is you can order it from Amazon in that country and it ships for less annoying amounts.

Wait, really? Wouldn't there be an issue of trying to use say a US bank card in a Canadian Amazon?

In my experience buying in the US they will automatically switch the currency using your bank's current exchange rate.

I buy US with my Canadian card several times a year with no issues.

ETA: Just did it earlier today and it went fine. Except for the sadness of what the amount looked like after conversion

Nah... I once ordered DVDs of a show that was only available in Canada and had it shipped internationally to myself.

I put my apartment’s address so I didn’t have to explain anything in/ about the box

You don't want them to write STUDENT DOCTOR NETWORK in big, bold, red letters?

I WILL HUNT THEM DOWN AND GUT THEM LIKE A FISH.

I'm going to write SDN* on the box and then write *Santa Deer Network in really small font on the bottom somewhere

 

[SkiOtter]

I'm writing that I submitted here specifically so I don't do this ^ later.

i second this post

 

[Balesofhay]

Hey fam. I came back juuuust to fill this out. Now time to return to the cave that is grad school

 

[PrincessButterCup]

I think my parents will be cool with it. As long as no one sends me anything that a good Catholic girl shouldn't have, we'll be fine.

Also: I've used amazon's uk site to buy books that aren't in print here. You just have to make an account, since your US one won't transfer over, but it's really easy to do. And since you'll be shipping within that country you won't pay huge rates to send it. When I sent something to Canada recently, I think it was around $20 to ship a small parcel from the USPS. I had to fill out customs stuff, which is always fun.

Was the international shipping question on it last night? I can't remember if I filled that part out. I was on my phone wayyy past bedtime, whoops.

Great, that's definitely something they'd approve of .

[PrincessButterCup]

That looks like a yes to me!

I'm so excited to find out who I have. I keep coming up with ideas for people but I need to stop until names are assigned, otherwise all my creative energy will be wasted.

 

[DVMDream]

I thought she'd want a dildo....

 

[PrincessButterCup]

You're definitely on the right track with that thought.

 

[TheGirlWithTheFernTattoo]

You clearly haven't seen the doorstop in question

 

[Caiter92]

This isn't your typical door stop

 

[vetmedhead]

I enjoy that the doorstops live on in infamy

I do the opposite for Canadian family regularly. Banks are smart and figure it out for ya.

 

[Trilt]

I'm slightly regretting not having a "NSFW ok/not okay" question on there haha.

 

[EngrSC]

I haven’t been terribly active lately but this sounds so fun!

 

[Glammyre]

If I find a secret Santa gift in my open mailbox, I’ll know exactly who it is from.

Well, if @alohacat319 and/or @Lupin21 join, it can still stay kind of secret.

Is there a way to edit survey responses? People could add it to the special notes section in the first part of the survey.

 

[Filly Bay]

If I added a poll to this thread would I be able to see who answered what without everyone being able to see?

Pretty sure there's a setting when you make the poll that says whether it's visible or not.

 

[Filly Bay]

Hold please on the polls. I messed up. Can't see who answered what

 

[cdo96]

Hold please on the polls. I messed up. Can't see who answered what

You could make a second google docs with only username and NSFW or not?

 

[Filly Bay]

Lupin fixed it!
You may resume answering the poll, but beware everyone can see your answer. If you dont want to answer there just send me a message

 

[Filly Bay]

Also, we have 25 responses so far! I'm super excited about this

 

[TheGirlWithTheFernTattoo]

Just a request: If whoever gets me does something NSFW, please make the packaging discreet because it's being sent to...you know...work.

Fill is visiting after Thanksgiving and the plan was to distribute at that time. If sign-ups go to a crawl and people really would like Black Friday to shop, could probably cut it a bit shorter.

I’m a crafty person, so depending on who it is, I’d like to get time to figure something out.

is the distribution gonna be hand picked by you guys or more rng (but taking into account the international thing and such)?
