[paperatoms]

 

Arigatou gozaimashita! Thank you everyone for participating and for bearing with a first-time organiser!

 

Here's a summary of who had who (spoilers!):

Spoiler

 

Kaaaaaaat  --> Hydroblade  --> Sallycinnamon --> PPOS --> Lunna --> Ruruzest --> Freeyafanfan --> SparkleSalad --> Paperatoms --> Yuzuu --> Xeyra --> Souyouki --> Vivienne --> Singcarcom --> Matchanodoame --> Xen --> Kelly --> Marlet --> Yaminoqueen --> Yuzuangel --> Anony --> PapiandPooh421 --> Robin --> Guitarist --> Kaaaaaaat

 

 

Some interesting facts about our inaugural Planet Hanyu Secret Santa!

• We had 24 participants
• About 1/3 sent physical gifts
• Physical gifts were sent/received from countries all over! USA, Australia, Mexico....  (So cool!) I was surprised by how many wanted to go down that route (even if it didn't work out in the end for some)
• Some people were luckier in the international shipping lottery than others (e.g. Australia --> Australia) XD
• Virtual gifts came from every type of media, including videos, soundbites, pictures, fanart, graphics, poems...

Conclusion: We are a pretty multi-talented, creative and generous bunch of citizens! 

 

Happy Holidays, and here's to a 2018 that is... as good as gold!

 

 

Footnote: 

For those who are expecting physical gifts - please do feel free to show them off on the thread!

Also feel free to post any suggestions for the future (e.g. including all the entrants in the draw... )

I had some extra stuff from my Japan trip great you liked them!  Skating boots will also be a good decoration for the next Christmas (I have a couple of similar things from my winter European trips ))). And a presence of Pooh is a must

I got my gift from @SparkleSalad today (finally! Booo Australia Post!)

Thank you so much! The charm is now proudly attached to my phone, waiting for the next person to notice and ask "Who's that guy on your phone charm?"   Just in time to educate them for the Olympics!   And the fact that the photos and ghana leaflet came from Japan is so cool!

Oops, sorry about that hahaha. Yes, that's from the Secret Santa. I was originally going to send you the drawing I made, but USPS does not cooperate with my regular working hours, so I decided to get that instead, and since I ordered it a while ago I'd forgotten until I got a text from DHL today. I was gonna message you, but I actually scheduled the delivery for next week, so I hadn't gotten around to it. Good job DHL  Anyway, I hope you like it! I'll also scan the drawing for you at some point!
