I received my first secret Santa package. Ive been told a second one is inbound and I’m waiting until Christmas Eve to open! I did peek inside to make sure and then taped it shut again.
Received a box on Monday, but I didn’t had time to take pictures until today. Although in previous years I opened the packages right away when the box came in, I decided to keep them closed to open on Christmas Eve this year, since I also won’t be celebrating Christmas as abundant as previous years (only with my parents and little brother, and that’s it).
So I will post again after I’ve opened everything later this year. 
But, to at least confirm it has arrived without any issues, thanks a lot @Josh! Unfortunately, I’ve accidently cut through the letter and drawing when I opened the box. 
I noticed it just before cutting through completely. A bummer, but thanks nonetheless for the funny drawing. Love the little white flag especially, haha. 
And it also doesn’t surprise me you were unable to find anything from my wanted lists, but thanks a lot for trying! (I guess the cut through the letter had it coming though, for misspelling my name as Quaador, haha. 
)
Greetz,
Quuador

Santa went hard this year. @cardstockpile, I can’t thank you enough for the cards, packs and gifts you sent. Truly unbelievable! So many awesome cards that I’ve never seen before and many that I’ve wanted but never acquired. I’m going to open the packs later with my kids too!
I tired my best to fit everything in one picture but there was too much!
Thank you so much and Happy Holidays!

A big thank you to @lamplamp - received my package the other day but just got a chance to open/take pictures! My Secret Santa did a great job mixing merchandise with unique Japanese promos. Especially love the gengar ornament - Happy Holidays!

Big post! Alright this year my Santa was @ascendedbidoof who absolutely hit it out of the park in every way! So very thankful for how thoughtful and fun the gifts were.
First up the most fun part, and an e4 classic, the drawing. Nightmare or stagecoach level artistic masterpiece? You decide. Im sold on it being next to the mona lisa.
Next was a huge surprise to me and my fiance, but it was a gift for her! Her favorite pokemon is swinub and Mr. Bidoof managed to find a perfect swinub plush for her. She absolutely loves it and is extremely grateful & shocked at being included!
Maybe it’s the push she needs to create an e4 account and get serious about Pokemon collecting? Lol
Next is the main course,and admittedly I was not super clear on my asks but I like to leave it open ended and let Santa run with it. In addition to the epic hoenn map (which I’ll need to get framed soon)
We have a new project binder for me to work on.
Let’s see if you can guess what the project is from the pics…

Its a hoenn alt art/illustration rare binder! And I can’t wait for more sets to come out so I can fill it in. How many more sets till we can get the entire hoenn Pokedex in there? Who knows but remind me next Christmas and I’ll update us for sure.
Once again just wanted to say a huge thank you to Bidoof. Just an absolutely epic gift this year. More than I could seriously ask for

Feeling like an idiot low and behold there was another gift! Bidoof keeps on giving
Fits the hoenn hoe theme of course and it is rightfully pointing to mudkip who is the greatest starter of all time.
Can’t believe I missed that in the box! Sorry Mr Bidoof but it is safe and sound now

Went home during my lunchbreak and I found a surprise waiting on my door step! I actually wasn’t sure if it was a package I ordered or if it was my Secret Santa gift but I figured either way I was going to open it so I ripped it open and to my surprise it was from my Secret Santa @jawsh98! You did a fantastic job with the gifts and I love them all! Thank you very much! 
Starting off we have this absolutely killer drawing of Alakazam alongside the Wedjat eye from Yu-Gi-Oh! Jawsh has noted my obvious love for both Pokemon and Yugioh and did a great job with his illustration!
Here we have some Yugioh cards from the legendary collection featuring some of the most iconic cards from the series! I think I’ll have to make sort of display piece using the Egyptian God Cards.
Next up are three cards representing my top three favorite Pokemon (sorry Bidoof). Jawsh did an excellent job picking out cards as I don’t have any of them and I love the artwork for each! I don’t know if he picked these intentionally but I’m a sucker for swirls and cool orbs. The Dark Alakazam has a cool Orion’s Belt thing going on in the top left with the orbs and the Nidoking has a nice swirl. The Infernape looks beautiful with the holo pattern that covers the whole card. I literally exclaimed “WHOAAA” when I opened it.
Lastly, we have these really cool Alakazam display pieces! I’m excited to put them in my office since I was looking for some fun display pieces! Did you make these yourself Jawsh?
Unfortunately, it looks like the spoon in both of Alakazam’s left hands broke in transit but I can hardly notice it. It’s actually kind of funny because when I opened the box I didn’t see these figures but I saw this piece of the spoon that broke off. At first I thought it was a seed or something that found its way into the box.
I’m super thankful and appreciative of you Jawsh for the thoughtful gifts! Thank you for making my first secret santa one to remember! Happy Holidays!

Pumped you liked them Amigo! The cards I picked were because I had the biggest attachment to those artworks, and I hoped you liked them too!
The Alakazam models I got off Etsy, as mine would have looked like a blob. Bummed they broke, but I like to think it’s because their psychic powers were too powerful for the plastic spoons we threw in

I like to think that they’re pretending to be Kadabra. Regardless, they’re cool figures and they will find a nice home in my office
