SECRET SANTA The Reveal

[tom13]

Santa hand delivered mine today while I was out. How about that for service. Have a great Christmas all. 

[grogee]

I echo the Xmas wishes, and just wondered about the opening protocol? 

Mine's under the tree and I'm beside myself with excitement. 

[Ohdearme]

Unless mine is coming via the fat bearded one himself, seems I’ll be opening mine after Xmas.

Hope my shiter has received theirs in time.

Looking forward to see the thoughtful gifts  unbridled quantities of tat emerge on here tomorrow…

[ruffgeezer]

Anyone opened theirs yet then?  Wibble.

The little groovys are currently perched on our bed emptying their stockings from Santa, so my ASSS gift is going to be opened soon 🧑‍🎄

Small children awake at 5am… managed to stave off the presents until 6…. Hence mine is open! And ASSS knocked it out of the park! 

Thank you secret Santa! key ring will go straight on the Nova keys!

My ASSS came up trumps. 10mm sockets to replace the inevitable missing one. Off road driving techniques book, cool old ford dealer keyring, a superb in car bin, some cable ties (standard lol) but most importantly, a small version of my bucket list car! Thankyou.whoever you are!

That's ace. Does Dick Nutt (yes, a real name) feature in the 1980 motoring Which?. We interviewed him as part of the 50th anniversary edition.

This appeared overnight. I think my wife hid it and pretended it hadn't come.  She's still denying knowledge of it. Says santa must have brought it.

Option C - make out you've had an overly generous secret santa and you haven't spent a king's ransom on shiny tat?

[ruffgeezer]

Well the dogs have been fed and Mrs Ruff and the Rufflets have gone to get themselves ready.  It must be a good time for me to retire to Bedfordshire and contemplate my gift.

 

No more waiting, here it is:- A handy light up multi-tool and a lovely puzzle for when we're emerging from a food coma but aren't quite yet ready to move.

Well done elves, some good pressies thus far .

Santa

a giant bag of rice ! just what i always wanted  

wait a minute - that’s not rice 

but i am not disappointed - thankyou secret santa, very well chosen 

 

[dozeydustman]

Thank you ASSS. Someone knows I’m into Dr Who, which is thoughtful.

 

Sadly it’s 3 sizes too small for me to wear, but it will make a good addition to my burgeoning Dr Who collection. Here I am looking like a fat version of Techmoan

I really hope my recipient got his or hers in time.

[EyesWeldedShut]

First part of my multiple presents from ASSS

[Markeh]

Well thank you very much to my ASSS! This should be a good read. I hadn't yet bought a UK sticker to replace my GB one and was considering a booze cruise in the near future so this will be really useful.

Your opinions on my motoring are noted. Hopefully 2024 will see more mad bastard decisions.

[Dave_Q]

Everything was wrapped, I just forgot to take a photo before I started.

I got, some gloves which I think are USB heatable, exfoliating gloves, a torch, chocolate coins, and the police road craft handbook.

An excellent selection, I'm most excited about the book as I've come close to ordering it in the past but haven't.

Thanks very much ASSS.

[Macscrooge]

Just been fumbling with my package - well done to my ASSS! I’ve already been told to  “put that book down “…

[Amelia]

My Secret Santa was amazing, over the moon with the Vernier etc x

 

 

Also did a blind react video

Lovely selection received, always love the old motoring books! Thank you very much, chocolates have already disappeared 👀

[Dippy]

Thanks secret santa a whole box of goodies with books a battery soldering iron and some random keys 😎

[JMotor]

Thank you ASSS.

Like the T-Shirt. Unfortunately it's *slightly* too small for me.

But, I do appreciate that they sent me something.

[CaptainBoom]

Here’s mine, taken on a suitably 1970’s piece of kitchen worktop. Thank you, Autoshite Secret Santa, I’m looking forward to a read today. 

[EyesWeldedShut]

I gotta tools!
Utterly brilliant (or "there's tidy" as the say around here)
Thank you Santa.
 

[Saabnut]

A really useful haul, thank you Secret Santa.

 

I am however feeling guilty as I only tracked down my post yesterday so whilst my victims assortment is now complete, they will not receive it on time as the PO etc is closed 'til Wednesday, but on Wednesday it will start making its way.

In the same boat, I've still to open my pressie, but my victim is yet to receive theirs.

Now the Queen's King's Christmas Message is over and we've all stood for the national anthem...

It's present opening time! 

Thank you Santa.
