Hi Guys!

If you'd like to join the NS SS 2022 please post here! There was enough interest that @animator and I will try and get this going. Please post by December 7th, and I'll start sending out DMs with more info. In this thread plz give a brief description of what you like, the things you do, 2/3 brands you like, and sizes you wear (top, bottom, mitts, foot size) Yay NS!!



also: please note your country— for Europe & Canada to work (etc.) enough people form there need to be interested as shipping can be a huge pain internationally.

Hi guys, lots of you ended up fucking me over. It'll take me a few months to get everyone (including myself) gifts but I can't afford to shell out over $400 in one month. This is why we typically charge you guys a $20 entry fee. SO huge shoutout to those who did their job, to the rest of you, you will be prohibited from participating in the future, and really, really, suck.

Sorry to hear that, I thought it was just me who didn’t get anything.

How many people didn’t send gifts?

It’s been 3 weeks and it sounds like I’m the only one who was missing a gift. For $400+ missing there should be a huge fuss but this thread is silent. Let’s just validate who is actually missing gifts before we make final decisions.

As in your secret Santa didn’t send?
My SS received mine and my secret Santa sent me one. So I can vouch for at least 2 people, I guess

b_in_subtlePretty much just skiing.

Any kind of hoodie/midlayer type stuff. Saga would be sick but I’m really not to concerned about brand as long as it’s cool, comfy, and doesn’t just fall apart.

size L/XL mostly but would do a 2X

Chiming in as someone who never received anything or heard from my SS. Was holding out that it was just a shipping delay but it doesn't seem likely anymore.

Please please don't feel obligated to get me anything! Save your money. I don't need a gift. It's shitty that so many people dropped the ball. Screw 'em. We'll have a better crowd next year.

Hell yeah. So stoked! Can’t wait to do this again next year. You’re gonna regret parting ways with those pokemon cards though. When the snowpocalypse wipes out the reserves of hot pockets at the grocery store, I’m gonna be rich!

Hoping it’s just a communication breakdown or weather. I know bigpurpleskisuit is legit so there is basically 6 people remaining who didn’t get a gift.

Of those six, there are two that were kind enough to refuse any refund. Which leaves 4 make up gifts.

If each gift costs $25 with shipping we’re looking at maybe $100 worth of missing gifts.

A lot better than $400+ but still a lot to just dump onto one person.

Hopefully all just shipping delays but people can be super shitty about these things. Def gotta charge a deposit to play imo. Most people are cool but there are def people who will say they'll participate, will get a gift, and will never send anything out. Hoping this community is still decent enough that thats not what happened.

Weather was shitty, holidays are busy af. Sometimes you dont send shit out early enough. Happens. Hopefully everyone gets things.

Dude, you should not feel any need to give out anything. As someone who didn't receive a gift, PLEASE do not send me anything.

It's a bummer that people didn't participate, but it was still fun to contribute and look through my closet with a new lens. No one can control the actions of others, and you shouldn't be on the hook to make up for it.

This feels pointless to say, but, to those who didn't send a gift, just send one now. Personally, Idgaf if I get anything, but I don't think anyone would mind a surprise, regardless if it's late. Still a lot of winter left!

Tracking is in Safarisam's inbox, but I also saw the gift I sent was received in a previous post. However, here is tracking in case messages are being wack or something 1Z750Y5Y0399518051.

Also, shout out to my Secret Santa; you crushed it with the gift.
