Guess whoever I got hasn’t filled out their form yet, has anyone gotten their person yet?
I haven’t gotten my person yet too
Just got mine a few minutes ago. It’ll be coming!

Not yet but we all should have ours by the end of this week I’m sure.
They are coming out staggered–Charlie seems to be incredibly busy with his emails. Just got mine. One at a time Kingboo!
(Mine is great to be paired with, they’re gonna be hard to impress! 
)

We will be at 161 participants messaged by the end of the day. Very close to full participation on the forms so far.
Just hang in there. They’re coming out.

Any tips for a first time participant? Ive looked at past photos and am impressed at the generosity of everyone and want to replicate it but being a newer (only past several years) collector with this price climate, makes it seem difficult to give any worthwhile and meaningful gifts, especially if I get paired to someone with an already amazing collection (I see a lot of them on here). I dont want to just throw a bunch of modern stuff together and I want to make it a good gift so they arent disappointed, but definitely worried if I get someone with a killer collection that my gift is more a drop in the bucket of their collection. Am I worried too much about being a good gifter?

where can I find photos of the old ones? I had an idea of what I’d like to send to my person but I would love to seem so old years as well!
also, just send something you think is cool and meaningful given what you know about them. I’m sure they will find it to be cool and meaningful too. Like I dont collect oddishes at all… but if the guy w/the awesome oddish collection sends me and oddish I’m going to be super pumped

@lyleberr , It shouldn’t matter what you get your member. I get pairs of socks for Christmas and I’m still happy. Search your member up and have a read of their post history ect to get a rough idea of what they like. 100% overthinking it, long as you stick to the guidelines you will be fine.
Gifts that meaningfully take into account the collecting interests and favorite Pokemon of the recipient are always the best received, regardless of market value!

so what you’re saying is that I have permission to stalk you?

I feel like a child again! This experience reminded me that the last time I did secret Santa, I was in the 3rd grade, and I got Pokemon Japanese Team Rocket packs. Nostalgia is priceless.

I got my person! I am definitely nervous about shopping for them, but I am cautiously optimistic I can put SOMETHING together. Looking at their post history and taking notes 
It’s definitely hard to buy a Pokémon collector something Pokémon related when you think about it. My wife doesn’t even try anymore after buying me stuff I already have lol

Oooo I can’t wait to get mine!
Just shipped my box of goodies off!
To the receiver, I hope it brings a smile to your face & have a great Christmas!
It’s going to be a very busy one for me as i’m going to be having my second baby very soon (due on my birthday 13th December but i have a feeling it’s going to be earlier)
Can’t wait to see all the posts in the picture thread
Thanks again Charlie for organising this & to everyone else who got involved!

Cheers Charlie!
Didn’t think I’d feel so much pressure shopping for a stranger! Everything I think of just feels so inadequate lol

At what point should I be concerned if I haven’t gotten a message about my person yet. Not trying to rush anything - just asking for clarification
